Eaton Fire Recovery: Support the Larkin Family

Hi everyone,

My name is Katelyn, and I’m starting this fundraiser for my boyfriend DeJohn’s family, who experienced a devastating loss in the Eaton Fire.

The fire completely destroyed the home of DeJohn’s beloved grandmother, Margaret. Not only did she lose her house, but she also lost all of her belongings and irreplaceable keepsakes. Margaret’s home was more than just a house; it was a place of love and stability where DeJohn, his four siblings, and so many family members found refuge and created countless cherished memories. Margaret had lived in this home for over 36 years, making the loss even more heartbreaking.

Margaret is the heart of her family — a strong, loving woman who has always been there for her children, including her two amazing daughters, and her grandchildren. Her home was the cornerstone of family gatherings, celebrations, and everyday moments. Losing everything in the fire has been an unimaginable loss for her and her family.

We’re reaching out to ask for your help in supporting Margaret as she begins the incredibly difficult journey of starting her life anew. Your donations will go toward immediate needs like clothing, food, and temporary housing, and eventually toward helping her start fresh with a new home where her family can continue to gather and heal.

Any amount you can contribute, no matter how small, would mean the world to Margaret and her family. If you can’t donate, we’d deeply appreciate you sharing this fundraiser with others.

Thank you so much for your kindness, support, and prayers during this heartbreaking time.
