Help the Szopa family rebuild their lives.

Hi friends.

January 10 would have been our third year anniversary of moving to Altadena. What a joy it has been and we always knew it was the right place for us when we returned to California. So many happy memories for our little family.

We love our neighborhood. We love our community and friends here. We love Altadena and Pasadena. We love Teddy's school, St. Marks, (which was also badly damaged). And we will always cherish this place.

We are so grateful for the outpouring of support. Can’t put it into words what it means but we feel your love and know we will get through this.

This community is rich with love, culture, education and generations of residents who know each other and equally love this enclave of LA. So much of Teddy's world existed within Altadena.

So all that is gone now, and the challenges facing us are finding a new place to live in the near term as we set up a more permanent home somewhere close by so we can remain a part of the St. Marks community.
