Help Rebuild Mr. Wolgast’s Life After Fire

Eaton Fire Support: Help Rebuild and Recover for Mr. Wolgast

Our loving father, Mr. Wolgast is a retired Private Investigator, notably serving underserved populations and advocating for those in need. He worked well into his late 70’s until he quite literally couldn’t work anymore after suffering a heart attack. He worked for the LA county Department of Corrections for 30 years and retired as a Parole Agent. He is veteran and served for the U.S. Marine Corps. Our father has dedicated his life to serving others and making his home a safe place for so many. He loved to host and cook for anyone who sat at his table.

We spent the majority of our childhood in Altadena and our father has lived in this home for over 30 years. Unfortunately, our family is now facing an unimaginable challenge. The recent Eaton Canyon fires have devastated our community, leaving my father completely displaced. He lost all of his possessions, memories and essentials for daily life.

This tragedy has come at an especially difficult time, as my father was recently diagnosed with cancer in his ear and is scheduled for a critical surgery in the next couple weeks. With his health needs, lack of mobility and the loss of his home, the weight of these challenges is overwhelming.

We are reaching out to ask for your support in helping us rebuild and recover during this incredibly trying time. Your contributions will go toward replacing essential items, securing accessible equipment, and helping my father regain a sense of stability and comfort as he prepares for and recovers from surgery.

No donation is too small, and we are deeply grateful for any support you can provide. Thank you for helping us honor the legacy of a man who has spent his life serving others.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Wolgast Family
