Help Tina and Robbie After Eaton Fire in Altadena

Hello, I'm Erik Patterson. My friends Tina, Robbie, Pearl, and Roscoe lost their home in the Eaton fire. Tina is one of my oldest and best friends -- we met on the first day of orientation at Oxy back in 1996. Tina and Robbie are artists in every sense of the word (writing, directing, making music, etc.), they are wonderful parents, and they've spent the last two years literally making a dream home for their incredible free spirited kids. They also have 3 well-behaved senior dogs. Like so many others in the Altadena community, they've lost everything, their clothes, their keepsakes, childhood photos, journals. They put their life savings into this house and now are trying to figure out how to start over at zero. I’ve created this gofundme for them to give them some hope as they figure out what's next.

Please give what you can. Everything helps. Thank you so much.

Here's a message from Tina:

We moved to Altadena in 2019. I gave birth here in 2021. We started remodeling almost 2 years ago and built our dream home, complete with pink concrete countertops and wild colors throughout. Robbie said being in the house “feels like living in Tina’s head.” We finally finished and moved back in for the holidays. Last night, we evacuated at 2:30am and the house was gone by 4:30am along with the rest of the houses in our neighborhood. It’s unimaginable. I have so few pictures of the house, but I’ll always remember it as being a work of art.

As for us, we are safe, and shaken, and not at all sure what to do next.
