Help My Family After Eaton Fire Devastation
Donation protected
My family has been devastated by the recent Eaton Fire in Altadena. On January 7, 2025, my father, Regan Franklin evacuated his home around 10 PM after receiving a warning, grabbing what he could and hoping he could return the next day. Tragically, by morning, we learned the family home that he, Brandie and their 10-year-old daughter, Kenzie as well as my brother Pierce and their two dogs were living in had been completely destroyed by the fire, leaving nothing behind.
The loss has been overwhelming. Kenzie lost all her beloved books, toys and clothes. Regan and Brandie lost their computers, essential for their work, along with all their clothing, shoes, and personal belongings. Every single possession, including irreplaceable mementos and the comforts of home, is gone.
The Eaton Fire has wreaked havoc across their community, consuming over 10,600 acres and resulting in the loss of at least five lives. More than 1,000 structures, including homes and local businesses, have been destroyed, and over 100,000 residents have been forced to evacuate.
We are reaching out to our friends, family, and compassionate strangers for support during this challenging time. Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in helping my family recover and start over. Your generosity will go towards securing temporary housing, clothing, daily necessities, and eventually, a new place to call home.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and support.
