Support the Blanks After Eaton Fire Loss

My family’s best friends: Ryan and Stephanie, Hannah and Ezra Blank, lost their beloved Altadena home this week during the Eaton fire. They have lived in the Altadena and San Gabriel Foothill area for 30 years. We all met through a Mommy & Me group when Hannah, Ezra and I were 6-months old. Ezra and Hannah are both accomplished in the art world. Stephanie is a dedicated and amazing Special Education teacher in the Arcadia School District. Ryan has worked as Prop Master and other positions on Grays Anatomy for 20 plus years. Anyone who comes to know this family immediately loves them. As they have given so much to their friends, family, students and colleagues now is the time we need to surround them with support, hugs, chats and love.

The Blanks were able to gather a few necessities and photos prior to evacuating. Their beautiful cabin under the magical trees along with most of their neighborhood was decimated. Like many others, they would greatly appreciate any support for housing, clothing, and other essentials. These funds will be utilized for needs not met by other disaster relief aids such as FEMA. Funds will support the Blanks in temporary housing that exceeds federal aid allowances. Please support them in any way you can.
