Support Jake Clarke's Immediate Needs Post-Fire

We are raising emergency funds for Jake Clarke, son of Jerry and Jane Clarke, who lost his home in the Eaton Fire in Altadena, CA this week.

Jake was able to escape safely, with his main vehicle and his tools, but unfortunately everything else was lost in the blaze. These funds will be used to help Jake replace essential items like toiletries, clothing, basic grocery items, gasoline, and more. These funds will be available to him for his immediate needs, while he works on a more long-term relocation plan.

MESSAGE FROM JAKE: "Please only contribute to this if I'm the only person you know who lived on the Zorthian Ranch. They need the money more than me.

Also please don't fund me if you're on hard times yourself or in debt. I will always be your friend regardless.

Thanks so much for all the well wishers. And words of wisdom it really does help. I feel blessed to still have my life and so many great people in it."

I'm Kate Ludlow, and I helped start this because Jane and Jerry are my long-time dear friends, and we have always helped each others families out. Thank you for considering helping support their son, Jake, as he navigates this weird, new path forward.
