Help the Tropea Family rebuild after the Eaton Fire

Hi everyone,

We are organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Xochitl Rodriguez and her family (Xochitl, Holly, Lucca, Lola and their dog, Dakota). Recently, their home in Altadena was completely lost in the Eaton fire, leaving them displaced and facing an uphill battle back to stability.

While we are so grateful that quick action allowed everyone to get out safely, the fire has left extensive destruction in its path. As you can imagine, the process of rebuilding is overwhelming and there will be many unexpected expenses to cover as they navigate finding temporary housing, replacing essentials, and starting fresh.

Xochitl is a beloved aide at Paradise Canyon Elementary and her three children are LCUSD students. The Tropea family is always eager to share their blessings with others. They’ve never hesitated to open their arms and their home to anyone in need. I’m hopeful that their generosity can now be paid forward to help them rebuild and return to creating the loving, welcoming home they’re known for. Contributions to this fundraiser will help ease the financial burden of this difficult time, allowing them to focus on rebuilding their lives from the devastation of the Eaton Fire.

Whether you’re able to contribute to or share this fundraiser, it would mean so much to Xochitl and her family. Thank you for your support, kindness, and encouragement—it makes all the difference.

With gratitude,

Friends of the Tropea Family
