Support Altadena Raza Family's Recovery from Fire Loss

UPDATE: The initial starting goal of $20K was reached within 24 hours. Truly amazing! Thank you so much for your love and support! The tremendous outreach and support have overwhelmingly encouraged Mama Arlette, Dada Edmond, Nomena, Miali, and the boys as they work to move past this tragedy. We have assessed and increased the goal to $50K as a realistic amount that would substantially help the family back on their feet.

We are Mino and Lanto, and we've created this GoFundMe to help raise support on behalf of our family in Altadena who just suffered a devastating loss due to the Eaton Fire.

Our Altadena Razafimanantsoa/Gallegos/Andriarimanana Family has suffered an unimaginable loss as the house they have lived at for many years was completely destroyed by the devastating Eaton Fire. This tragedy has left our parents, Arlette and Edmond, our sister and brother-in-law, Nomena and Jacob, and a close family friend from Madagascar, Miali, without any of their belongings.

Nomena, who is about 30 weeks pregnant with their third child, has lost everything they had prepared for the baby’s arrival.

They now face the immense challenge of finding a new place to live and restarting their lives from scratch. The family is in urgent need of financial assistance to support their transition and keep them on their feet. Additionally, they are in desperate need of:

UPDATE: They have received so many baby items and clothing donations. The most beneficial resource for them now is the finances to restart their lives. Thank you so much for your continued support!

• Food and blankets

• Clothes, toys, and essential items for a newborn baby boy, a one-year-old boy, and a three-year-old boy

• Clothes for adult males and females, and shoes for both adults and children

Any donations, whether financial or material, would be deeply appreciated. Please share this GoFundMe page to help spread the word. For those who wish to offer additional support or have questions about how else to assist, please contact Arlette Razafimanantsoa at 1-818-668-0144.
