Support the Mannings After Tragic Fire

On 1/8/25, Antonio Manning and his family tragically lost their home of nearly 35 years and everything they owned to the devastating Eaton Fire in Altadena, CA.

Antonio purchased his home back in the 1990s in historically Black West Altadena where he and his wife intentionally chose a community filled with teachers, artists, tradespeople, small business owners, pastors and others who help make communities thrive and raised their two wonderful sons.

On Tuesday, his son Bronson attempted to fight the fire with a water hose trying to protect his childhood home. As he saw his neighborhood go up in flames, Antonio reached him to make sure to bring him to safety.

Antonio has always put family, faith, and community first. He and his family have weathered life’s storms with grace, but this fire has left them completely devastated. Their home, filled with decades of memories, is gone. Clothes, furniture, keepsakes, photographs - everything has been lost.

The funds raised here will go directly to helping the family:

• Uncovered temporary housing costs

• Replacement of essential items such as clothing, furniture, etc.

• Cover expenses as they navigate their next steps

Every dollar raised will be used to help regain a sense of normalcy and comfort. All funds will be spent as outlined above, and Antonio will provide updates on the progress as his family recovers.

If you are unable to donate, we completely understand—but sharing this campaign with others would mean the world to us. Antonio has spent his life working for community and giving back, and now we have the chance to rally together to support him and his family in their time of need.

Thank you for your love, generosity, and prayers. Together, we can help Antonio, and his family begin to heal and rebuild their lives.

With gratitude
