Help Restore Hope for Alex, Natalie, and Kiki

Our beloved brother and son Alex Luppi, along with his wife, Natalie Kotin, and their sweet son, Isaac "Kiki" Kotin Luppi, lost their family home in the devastating Eaton Fire in Altadena, California, on Tuesday, January 7. Thankfully, they were able to evacuate safely with their dog, Norman, but their home and everything in it was reduced to ash and rubble.

Alex and Natalie had poured their hearts into lovingly restoring their Craftsman home over the past two years. Natalie, with her talent and passion for design, transformed it into a warm, inviting haven for their family, while Alex completely revitalized the landscaping, turning it into a beautiful retreat. This home was more than just a house—it was their dream brought to life.

Alex, a 2001 graduate of Pierson High School in Sag Harbor, NY, met Natalie, who grew up in Lafayette, California, in New York City. They fell in love, married in 2015, and eventually moved to California to be closer to Natalie’s family. In 2022, they found their perfect home on Las Flores Drive in Altadena and began creating the life they envisioned for their family.

This unimaginable loss has left them starting over from scratch, but we are hopeful that, with the support of their friends, family and community, they can continue to move forward. Any contribution, no matter how small, will go a long way in helping Alex, Natalie, Kiki, and Norman navigate this challenging time.

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, generosity, and love.

With love, appreciation and gratitude,

Ben, Joseph, and Melissa Luppi
