Help Nadia Rebuild After Eaton Canyon Fire Destroys Home

Hi, my name is Tanya Cervantes, and I’m from Pasadena, California. I’m creating this fundraiser for my beautiful friend, Nadia Elhawary.

Nadia is the definition of a light in this world. She’s not just an activist and a healer—she’s a force of nature who pours every ounce of her love, energy, and time into making her community better. From organizing events that uplift local voices to creating safe spaces for women to heal and grow, Nadia does it all.

She returned to our old high school as a counselor, where she started a girls’ group to empower and support young women. She’s constantly showing up for others, whether it’s standing on the frontlines for justice or holding space for those who need it most. Her love and dedication are visible in everything she does, from advocating for change to creating moments of joy and healing for her community.

Unfortunately, Nadia lost her home in the Eaton Canyon fire—a devastating loss for someone who has always been a pillar of strength for so many. She is now faced with the overwhelming task of rebuilding her life from the ground up.

The funds raised will go directly to Nadia to help her with essentials like clothing, food, and temporary housing, as well as support her in creating a stable foundation to move forward.

Nadia has given so much to her community, and this is our chance to give back. Your support, no matter how big or small, will help her rebuild and continue spreading her light in the world. Let’s come together and show Nadia the love she’s shown all of us. Any contribution you are able to make is greatly appreciated.
