Adam & Caiti RossGo Fund me linkLilian ToddAdam and Caiti Ross have lost their beautiful mid-century Altadena home and art studio to the Eaton Canyon fire in Altadena, CA. Plus, the bungalow below theirs that they were renting to an ArtCenter College student is burned down. Adam has been a teacher at ArtCenter College of Design for many years and Caiti is a teacher at Immaculate Heart Middle School. These two school teachers have always been there for their community and students - renting out their bungalows on the property to college students year after year. They worked hard to make their historic home a beautiful place, with an amazing succulent and bamboo garden that Adam lovingly cared for and watered everyday. They had a home studio, but everything burned except for 9 paintings Adam was able to pull from the flames. Years of their won artwork lost. Decades of art they collected from others lost. Adam and Caiti stayed with their home as it burned fighting hard to save the two surviving bungalows that other ArtCenter students and Allumni live in. The whole property was set to burn down but luckily the they were able to have firefighters come and save the last two surviving bungalows. I live in the first bungalow house in our row (a farm house from 1916). I would have lost everything I have if it were not for Adam and Caiti’s persistent effort and fighting spirit. I am a former student of Adam. He was my color theory teacher at ArtCenter and a teacher to so many others. Caiti and him have always been there for me and so many others with a helping hand. Now I want to help him with this fund. Thank you for helping them out. ❤️ The money raised will be used by Adam and Caiti to help sustain them while they are rebuilding their home. This fund is organized by Lili Todd - a friend, former student, and tenant of Adam and Caiti.

BrynGO FUnd me linkErinn HayesPlease help our much loved Bryn recover after losing everything in the Eaton fire. The beautiful home she put so much love and energy into is completely gone but the mortgage payments remain. Anything you can do to help her rebuild her life would be so greatly appreciated while she navigates FEMA help and the long wait for insurance money. This Go fund me is set up by me, Erinn, her sister and all the money will go directly to Bryn and I won't even make her buy me a glass of wine with it.

Ceja FamilyGo Fund me linkAbigail Adriana Ceja-CerezoToday, our lives changed forever. The Eaton fire in Altadena swept through our neighborhood, and in an instant, everything we knew—our home, belongings, and sense of stability—was gone. My family of four and our cat and dog had to evacuate our house in La Corona Ave with nothing but a couple of carry ons, believing we would return the following day. Instead, we are now facing the devastating reality of having to start over completely. The heartbreak runs even more profound as my daughter, who is on the spectrum, lost everything she cherished—on her birthday. Her world has been turned upside down, and the place she found comfort and routine, her school, was also consumed by the flames. As parents, we are trying to stay strong for our children, but the weight of this loss is almost unbearable. We humbly request your help to get through this week and begin rebuilding. Right now, we need the basics—clothes, toiletries, and essentials—to keep going day by day. Anything you can contribute will make a difference, no matter how small. Your support will help our family but also allow us to navigate this unimaginable loss together. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with us in this time of need. Your kindness and generosity mean more than we can ever express.

Corby & Kristie GallegosGo Fund me linkAlyssa GallegosIf you’re seeing this, chances are you know me or you know my wonderful family made up of Corby Gallegos, Kristie Gallegos, Mirabel Gallegos, Mateo Gallegos, and their two puppies, Oscar and Holly.
I am Corby and Kristie’s niece, Alyssa Gallegos. Within these last 24 hours, my family’s home was lost and destroyed in the Eaton fire that has engulfed Altadena. The Waldorf schools where my uncle works and cousins went to school have also been destroyed. At this time, my family is safe with friends, but they do not have a home to return to when this fire finally ends. I am creating this gofundme because I know that my family has a huge community that loves and cares about them, and I know that there are so many of us who are going to want to help. I am also lucky enough to have a huge community that can share this around. It is going to be an uphill battle for my family to find a new home and replace their treasured and essential belongings. I know that this fire has terrorized and displaced so many in our Los Angeles community, but if there is anything that you can spare to help my family in this crucial time, I’m sure that it would mean the world to all of us. I am hoping to make these next devastating steps for them as easy as possible.

Griff & Kit GoldsmithGo Fund me linkMatthew Komamy dearest friends Griff & Kit Goldsmith lost absolutely everything yesterday in the fires in Altadena. They’re expecting their first child in a few weeks and without a home or the most basic necessities, the days ahead feel unimaginable. Griff is one of my best friends in the world & a fellow musician who has spent 20+ years as a touring drummer in his band Dawes - all of his drums, studio gear…stuff he’s spent his whole life collecting to make a living, was also lost in the fire. As they turn their energy to insurance claims and figuring out how to quickly build a world for their baby to arrive in , so many friends have reached out to ask “how can we help Griff and Kit?” I set this gofundme up as a way to allow a community they’ve contributed so much to, to help them through one of the hardest & most vulnerable times of their lives I know a lot of people are in need and hurting right now - thinking of you all with an extremely heavy heart and I really appreciate you taking time to read this and helping in anyway you can.

Heather & DavidGO FUnd me linkJardine HammondHeather and David lost their house and everything they own in the Eaton Fire. Their beautiful little sanctuary for 2 dogs, a cat, Heather's apothecary studio, ALL of David's artwork, and all of their combined belongings are gone. Their house was open to all, and we are crushed by this loss. Luckily, they and their animals are safe, but they will have to start from nothing to rebuild and will likely still have to pay a mortgage on a house that doesn't exist. Please help this community come back. Because this loss is so devastating and it's such a shock, a group of us (Heather and David's friends) are managing this page to benefit them so they can take a moment to regroup. Help us help this couple who means so much to so many.

Irias-Bice FamilyGo Fund me linkAlexa RodellThe Irias/ Bice family lost their family home in Alta Dena this week to the fires burning in Los Angeles. Their home housed Kevin and Maryem, their three children, Ynez (14), Ezra (12) and Oliver (10), Maryem's elderly father and several family animals. They are currently staying with Kevin's mother and the few belongings they were able to take with them when the evacuated. The family is still in shock and the inventory of what was burned has only begun to be assessed. We are hoping that raising some initial funds will allow them to begin replacing some necessities and joy bringing items and find a temporary living location closer to their kids' schools and their jobs as they navigate the arduous process of rebuilding after the fires.

John, Andi, Leo, and EnzoGo Fund me linkAaron McKinnonHi. My name is Aaron McKinnon and I'm a friend of John, Andi, Leo, and Enzo. I've known John for 20+ years and we have become very close friends. We both live in the Altadena area and have spent many nights at each other's houses enjoying our shared love of IPAs, music, and general shenanigans. The family's home was destroyed by the Eaton Canyon Fire in Altadena. They lost everything. This house was not just a financial loss, but a loss of blood, sweat, and tears. Those of you that know John and Andi will know that they poured everything into this house. Years of work, money, and planning all gone in an instant. It was the home they shared with their two young sons, Leo and Enzo, their rambunctious labrador puppy Lionel, and a brood of hens.
46
Justin, Josh, and ElijahGo Fund me linkLeslie MannonJustin, Josh, and Elijah lost their home and most of their belongings in the Eaton Fire. This is a devastating loss. Justin and Josh both work in the entertainment industry. This is an unstable time in that industry. I met Justin early in our careers and have watched her and Josh build a life and home in Altadena. Please help lift some of the heavy weight of this unimaginable loss. All funds will go towards rebuilding and figuring out their next steps as a family.

Kari, Clint, and Nova CampbellGo Fund me linkKylee SwensonLike so many people in Los Angeles, our dear friends Kari, Clint, and Nova Campbell lost their house this week in the Eaton Fire in Altadena. Words can not express how tragic and sad this event has been for so many people. For Kari, Clint, and Nova (age 6), it means losing their four pet chickens (Rain, Tiger, Tulip, and Do De Bop Bop), most of Kari's art (Kari is a accomplished artist and sculpture lecturer at CSUN), and most of their earthly possessions. Kari also lost her studio, with all of her tools and artwork, and Clint (who is a poet), lost his creative works and books. They are safe at my parents' house with their cat Biscuit, but they just received confirmation that everything is gone. Where do you even begin to pick up the pieces and rebuild your life when everything is turned upside down like this? This is where I hope we can all step in and help them out. If you know me (Kylee), please understand that I wouldn't be the person I am today if it weren't for Kari. She's been like a sister to me and a massive light in my life since we were very little kids. And if you know Kari, Clint, and Nova, you know that they are wonderful, amazing, fun, and funny people. Anything you can do to help them get back on their feet is very much appreciated. They have insurance, but no doubt it will take months to sort through everything and begin to rebuild. In the meantime, they need clothes, food, and a place to live.

Kimberly, Mark and Leon (dog)Go Fund me linkJunna MatsudaOur dear friends Kimberly and Mark and their sweet dog, Leon just lost their beloved dream home that they built from the ground up in Altadena along with the rest of their life. They have lost irreplaceable pieces of artwork including Mark's own, the studio space where Kimberly makes all of our favorite WeirdBits jewelry, all their basic necessities as well as just a lifetime of beloved, meaningful things. To know them is to know how loving and generous these two are and in the time they were in this house, they created so many beautiful memories there and we hope they are able to put their lives back together as quickly as possible. We love them so and are grateful for everyone out there willing to share their love and support. If you're able, please donate, and regardless help us by reposting. 100% of funds will be given to Mark and Kimberly to rebuild their lives in the short term as they work through the long term.

Margaret Griffith, Jamie Carter & family Go Fund me linkSuzanna GriffithI am Suzanna, the sister of Margaret Griffith. Margaret, her husband Jamie, and my young nieces Josie and Abby lost everything in the Los Angeles Eaton Fire. Their home, all of their possessions, two cars, and a separate building on the property which housed their art studio were destroyed. The only thing left standing is the chimney. They left home with the clothes on their backs and two cats. Fortunately, they weren’t harmed in the fire. So many people have reached out to me wanting to help them, so I have started this GoFundMe. The funds will be used for basic needs, clothes, and art supplies to get their livelihood going again. In addition, if you’d like to send them items, private message me and I’ll give you my address. As of now, they are staying with friends while they look for temporary housing. This fire has been devastating, and we grieve with all the victims.

Nicole EllisGo Fund me linkNicole EllisOn Jan 8th, our world was turned upside down when the Eaton Canyon fire tore through our community in Altadena and our street Mcnally. After 18 years of calling Altadena home, we lost everything besides our van and our dogs this morning. We are officially homeless. Our house, our 3 cars, our many motorcycles, and nearly all of our belongings, the spell irreplaceable little things. The fire took our dog’s stuff, my dog training gear, our clothes (the few we managed to grab in a rush), and countless irreplaceable keepsakes and memories. I still can’t believe this is real and happened. We’ve lived in Altadena for almost two decades, and in that time, we created a life full of love, laughter, and cherished moments. All of that is now gone. But what breaks our hearts the most is not just the physical loss – it’s the memories, the things that can never be replaced. We’ve received an outpouring of love and support from friends, family, and even strangers who’ve reached out asking how they can help. So, after much thought, it was suggested to create this GoFundMe to give those who want to contribute an opportunity to do so.

Seema Seraj and Emily ElbertGo Fund me linkShereen SunOn January 8, 2025, Seema Seraj and Emily Elbert lost their beautiful sanctuary home in Altadena, CA to the devastating Eaton Fire. They purchased this home in 2021 and poured their hearts, time, and effort into renovating it into a space for community—a sacred sanctuary where people could gather, share food, music, and joy. It was more than just a home; it was a place of connection, healing, and love. Seema Seraj, a ceremonialist and therapist in training, has dedicated her life to service. She worked tirelessly as a public school teacher for many years to create the life and home that she dreamed of. She has opened her doors to countless people in need of refuge and healing. Emily Elbert, a talented and renowned musician, has touched hearts around the world with her music. Her work has brought healing and comfort to so many, and like Seema, Emily’s warmth and generosity have been an unwavering source of light for all who know her. The fire has left them with the heartbreaking uncertainty of whether their home will be covered by insurance, and while we know that many others are also affected by this disaster, we are reaching out for support during this incredibly difficult time. If you are able, please consider donating, sharing, and supporting Seema and Emily as they begin to heal from this unimaginable loss and work toward rebuilding their lives. Every contribution—no matter how small—will help them recover and grieve the home and community they have so lovingly built.

Shireen JarrahianGo Fund me linkShireen JarrahianI lost the home I was sharing with my friends. I was a part of a beautiful community that fostered connection and mutual wellbeing. This is wildly intense to feel such a loss and stay in the understanding that I am supported and taken care of. I know this piece is temporary and I’m also meeting myself where I am with as much grace and allowing the tears to be shed. I was a renting a beautiful room in the lovely sanctuary of this home in Altadena, CA to the Eaton Fire. I lost most of my belongings personal and business related nearly all replaceable and some regretfully not. I’m self-employed and this loss is quite devastating. My needs now are to re-cooperate my losses and fund my next housing situation. All support is greatly appreciated! May it all be blessed and return to you 1000 fold. Thank you so much

SunnyGo Fund Me LinkMargaret MuzaOur girl Sunny lost everything today when the fires burned her home in Altadena. She was able to evacuate, escaping with just her two cats and a backpack of essentials. Let's raise some funds to get her everything she needs to start over in the wake of such a horrible loss. Sunny is such a beloved human who radiates kindness and love to everyone that knows her. If donating funds is not possible for you right now, please consider sharing this link so that everyone who knows and loves her has a chance to help out. The tragedy and shock of what was lost is overwhelming. Sunny is a sentimental person who rightly has a strong attachment to her personal items, which she has carried with her for her entire life, from her childhood home near the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, to Milwaukee where she spent many years before moving to Los Angeles. Memories, photos, clothing, her life's work as an artist including all of her cameras, computer, and the entire setup of her tintype equipment including rare old cameras, chemistry, and darkroom equipment for her growing practice in this medium. All of it was lost in the fire. Many of these things are irreplaceable, but before she can begin to process what has happened, she needs a new place to call home and to be able to acquire the necessary things to be able to work again. I hope we can go big for her. Thank you for your support of our beautiful friend!

Coleen Sterritt and Michael Reillyhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/altadena-fire-relief-for-coleen-michael The ongoing historic Eaton fire has ripped through our community and destroyed countless homes, including the home and studio of our dear friends Coleen Sterritt and Michael Reilly. Their special corner of Altadena was the site of unforgettable gatherings and special moments, built and renovated over the years into a distilled reflection of who they both are. We are all in shock at their loss and ask for everyone’s help during this difficult time. For anyone who would like to get to know them better, we have the information below to share:
A graduate of the University of Illinois and Otis Art Institute, her teaching career began in 1983 and has included positions at California State University, Fullerton; Otis College of Art & Design; and The Claremont Graduate University. In 1998 she began a storied tenure as a professor and faculty coordinator of the sculpture program at Long Beach City College. As much as she is a passionate and driven artist, she has cemented a legacy of teaching and community building for over four decades. The community of artists that she nurtured throughout her time teaching and beyond owe her so much — her life has been dedicated to her art and her students, both of which were reflected in every inch of her home and beautiful workspace and studio, all of which has now been lost to the Eaton fire.
Michael’s extensive work over the years on the house and its incredible surroundings, with its hand-built rock walls and intimate paths, was a massive labor of love. Nowhere was that love more evident than in the drawing studio he built Coleen behind their home and Coleen’s sculpture studio – a warm and tranquil place he created for her, once full of drawings and collages, now also gone. Together they had created an oasis, lush with towering agaves and sages, and on warm summer nights they enjoyed listening to music outside with a glass of wine, their dogs Tinker and Nellie by their side. We hope someday they are able to feel at ease like that again and reach some sense of normalcy.
Both Coleen and Michael are fierce and vocal organizers who have spent countless nights fighting for positive change, taking people in when they've needed it, always offering help to anyone less fortunate. Please help us come together for them at this incredibly difficult time.
This fundraiser is being organized by their friends Evelia and Ashton Amores in Lakewood, CA. All funds will be transferred directly to Coleen and Michael to help them recover from the Eaton fire. Funds will be used to directly help and support them.

Laina Miller and daughterGo Fund Me LinkAffected by the Eaton Fires. I have no access to my studio or home, and I have structural, smoke, and wind damage. I have no idea when it would be possible to go back to my place; even when my house/studio didn't burn, the fires were only 300 away from my property. I went back to retrieve some of my stuff, and I got sick from smoke inhalation. It was so bad that I had to check into the ER. I'm seeing a lung specialist tomorrow.
