Help Zachary and Emily After Losing Their Home

Hi everyone, my name is Eva, a Caltech PhD candidate, and I’m reaching out to ask for your support for my dear friends, Zachary, a Caltech employee, and his wife Emily, who have recently lost their home in Altadena due to the devastating Eaton Fire.

Zachary and Emily Abbott are kind, generous people who I have had the privilege of dogsitting for - their beloved dogs, Teddy, who passed away just before the fires, and Akira. They have always gone out of their way to help others, and they welcomed me into their beautiful home with open arms. Over the years, they’ve made holidays, like Christmas, away from my family feel less lonely.

The fire destroyed their home and left them with almost nothing. Zachary and Emily are now faced with the challenge of rebuilding their lives, and they need our help.

This GoFundMe campaign is to support them in securing temporary housing, replacing essential belongings, and getting back on their feet. Any contribution, big or small, will make a meaningful difference.

Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. Together, we can help Zachary and Emily begin to heal and rebuild after this devastating loss.
