Help Julie's Family Rebuild After Fire

The Eaton Fires devastated our family, and though our home still stands, the damage to our house and belongings has left us displaced and struggling to piece our lives back together. My husband, my elderly mother (whom we lovingly care for), our four beloved cats, and I are now facing the immense challenge of rebuilding after this tragedy.

The fire left our home damaged and unlivable, and much of what we owned—clothes, furniture, cherished memories—was destroyed. My elderly mother’s health and comfort are our top priority, but caring for her outside of our home has added unexpected expenses and stress. Meanwhile, our cats, who are part of our family, need safe housing, food, and care as we navigate this difficult time.

Getting this house was a solution to the situation Julie and Sean were facing before the fire. With Julie's mom almost dying last year, they needed a place where they could live together and offer her care. Sharing mortgage payments and living expenses between the three of them would make that possible.

With their home now unlivable, Julie’s mom is back in assisted living, leading to $850 extra in her living expenses. She is also unable to contribute to the payments on the house, leaving Julie and Sean with a $500 monthly mortgage shortfall. The home in Altadena was to be the solution and instead, the fire made the family's situation even harder, now being $1,350 over budget.

Any donation, no matter how small, will make a huge difference in helping us rebuild our lives and provide stability for my mother and our pets. Your kindness and support mean the world to us as we face this unexpected and heartbreaking journey.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your generosity. Please share this campaign with others who may want to help. Together, we can rebuild and find hope after this tragedy.
