Support the Aguilar Family After Fire Loss

My name is Alexa Trujillo Aguilar and I am fundraising on behalf of my family on my mom's side. My abuelita, 5 cousins, and 4 tios and tias evacuated our abuelita's home on January 8, 2025 at 5:00am in Altadena, CA. Their home was filled with smoke, no electricity, and with little time to prepare, it made it difficult to gather anything valuable. They lost everything. They safely arrived at my home and other family member's home right after.

Many of my cousins went back to their home around 9:00am to try and salvage any items, however, everything was already burning down. They supported the firefighters on site with calming and stopping the fire from spreading to several neighbors' homes. They saved several of the surrounding homes and are continuously aware of other folks to support in the meantime.

Unfortunately, they only took what they could carry, yet they left behind family photos, clothing, and any memorabilia that made their home my family's safe place. This home saw my entire family grow and it is sad to see it down.

Our entire family is currently trying to support each other emotionally and physically during this time. Thus, we truly appreciate everyone who has reached out to make sure my family is safe.

If you are within capacity and able to provide financial help, my entire family deeply appreciates any contribution. These funds will support my family in purchasing necessities such as clothing, medicine for my abuelita, hygiene products, and most importantly, securing temporary housing. We are deeply grateful for your thoughts and prayers during these times as my family try to move forward.
