Help Nobuo Recover from the Altadena Fires

Hello! My name is Dani Sanders and I am fundraising on behalf of our neighbor and handyman, Nobuo Miyazaki, who lost almost everything in the Altadena Fires.

Nobuo, 65, was forced to evacuate from his home on Tuesday, January 7th as intense winds and wildfire battered our hometown. He had only 5 minutes to rescue his pet cockatoo and throw whatever he could into a backpack. He is currently separated from his beloved pet cockatoo Toby, who is being cared for by the Pasadena Humane Society, and we hope to reunite them as soon as possible.

He is already back at work despite this huge upheaval in his life and despite not yet having permanent housing secured. Any funds raised will go directly to Nobuo to help ease his move back towards some sense of normalcy.

Background on the person fundraising: I know Nobuo through his regular work at our apartments at 729 Locust in Pasadena, which were fortunately not effected by the fires. He has just started feeling able to do things like apply for FEMA and was willing to have this fundraiser set up in his name as of today, so I have been helping him with these things as a more tech-savvy person. I currently work with local students through Pasadena LEARNs at Octavia Butler Middle School.

Please donate as anything helps.
