Help the Scalzo Family Rebuild After Losing Their Home in Pasadena. This footage shows what was once their home, now completely leveled to the ground after the fire.

Dear Friends, Family, and Kind-Hearted Strangers,

On the evening of January 7, 2025, a devastating fire swept through the Pasadena area, leaving Kristine Nite Scalzo, Tyler J. Scalzo, and their young son with unimaginable loss. High winds fueled the flames, making containment nearly impossible and forcing many families to flee for their lives. Thankfully, the Scalzo family was able to evacuate safely, but their home—a place of comfort, memories, and security—was completely destroyed.

The next morning, Kristine, Tyler, and their son were met with the heartbreaking reality that their safe haven had been reduced to ashes. Video footage revealed the complete devastation: their home leveled to the ground, personal belongings gone, and a lifetime of memories erased in an instant.

This GoFundMe was created to support the Scalzo family during this incredibly difficult time. They are now faced with the overwhelming task of rebuilding their lives from scratch. Our goal is to provide immediate relief for their essential needs and help them take the first steps toward recovery.

Where Your Donations Will Go

Immediate Needs | Your donations will help cover:

• Temporary Housing: The cost of hotels or short-term rentals while they search for a more permanent solution.
• Food and Essentials: Groceries, clothing, hygiene products, and everyday items they need to get by.
• Transportation: To cover travel expenses during this transitional time.

Estimated Immediate Support Goal: $50,000

Rebuilding and Replacing Belongings

Beyond immediate needs, larger donations will help the family rebuild and replace:
• Furniture and Appliances: Beds, couches, kitchenware, and more to restart their home life.
• Personal Belongings: Clothes, electronics, toys, and other essentials lost in the fire.
• Uncovered Repairs: If insurance does not fully cover the cost of their recovery efforts.

Your generosity will bring hope and stability to their family.

How You Can Help

Any amount, big or small, will make a tremendous difference.

If you are able, we also welcome larger contributions to help the Scalzo family recover the irreplaceable and start anew. Every dollar will go toward giving Kristine, Tyler, and their son the support they need during this dark time.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your kindness and compassion for the Scalzo family. Let’s come together to show them that even in the face of tragedy, their community is here to lift them up.

With gratitude,
Laura Fama
