Mendoza Family of 8: Lost Everything in EATON FIRE

My name is Margo Barcenas, from Los Angeles, Ca. This fund is for my sister Mary and her beautiful family who experienced an unimaginable loss - just yesterday 1/8/25 their home was destroyed and so was their entire community due to the horrific fires.

In an instant, they lost not just their house but everything they owned—clothing, cherished keepsakes, and their sense of stability. Now, they’re faced with the overwhelming task of starting over while ensuring their children feel safe and secure during this difficult time.

Mary, a devoted and nurturing mother, and Greg, a hardworking father, have six wonderful children, (Ginger 16, Jaeger 15, Faye 11, Jade 9, Sage 6, Jude 2) (two of whom they lovingly adopted from our sister). Mary and Greg have always put their family first - offering love, stability, and unwavering care. If you know Mary, you know she has always been a giver. Caring for everyone around her and a friend who opens her heart to anyone in need. 

Now, Mary, Greg, and their children need our support to help rebuild their lives. 

Any amount—big or small—will make a difference. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this page to help spread the word. Together, we can show this family they are not alone in this difficult time.

Community is the key to rebuilding lives and restoring hope even in the greatest of challenges. Thank you for your kindness and generosity! May God bless you and keep you. We love you!
