Laster Family Lost Everything in Eaton Canyon Fire

Our family home in Altadena has burned down. My family; Troy Laster, Tammy Laster, & Tory Laster have literally lost EVERYTHING other than the clothes on their backs. Once being evacuated, there was little time to retrieve items, leaving behind all valuables and sentimental things (some of which cannot be replaced). This wasn’t just a house; it was HOME, full of love. My stepdad Troy Laster also spent a lot of time & money remodeling our home to our liking & making it comfortable for the many guests & family we would welcome into our home.

The plan is to rebuild or move somewhere where we can call home again. We have to start all over. Any and every bit of help from anyone would be greatly appreciated!

This home is very special to us. My Mom Tammy really nurtured the home, took pride in making sure the house was festive EVERY holiday (Christmas is our Favorite) as well providing that warm HOME feeling for whomever walked through the door. From the many birthday parties, BBQ’s, graduation parties, family dinners, and holidays, a lot of happy and joyous memories were made here. Not to mention, so many accomplishments, plaques, medals, diplomas, degrees & certificates we lived to achieve are gone now as well. We lived here for over two decades; this was our HOME, very dear to us.

Praying for everyone affected by this tragedy, all my friends, some family, and most importantly, my city Altadena.
