Stabilize Housing Insecurity

This request is on behalf of a resilient young family of three who were impacted by the recent Altadena fires. The family was living in a backhouse that was consumed in the fire, forcing them to lose not only their home but also their means of livelihood. Both parents are hardworking entrepreneurs who had built a thriving housekeeping business serving clients across Altadena and Pasadena. Unfortunately, many of their clients' homes were also destroyed in the fire, resulting in a loss of income and clientele. In addition to losing all of their cleaning equipment and supplies in the fire, they also lost the foundation of the business they worked so hard to build. Through the support of friends and family, they have been able to recover a significant amount of their cleaning supplies and are actively working to rebuild their business and regain clients. Despite their determination and efforts, the financial disruption has created a significant hardship. They have since secured a new residence and have been living there for a couple of months. However, catching up on rent has become a major challenge due to the debt they incurred during the aftermath of the fire. I am seeking support to help cover two months of rent totaling $4,820, which would provide this family the financial breathing room needed to stabilize and continue rebuilding their lives and business.

I am requesting assistance for a 42 year old father who has 4 dependents, although they don't live together at the moment, they depend on him monetarily; 2 children ages 15 and 16. The father's 65 year old mother depends on him for her medications.

The father lost his construction work tools in the California wildfires and is seeking assistance in replacing them, the cost is quite high, but he will be grateful for any assistance, he stated that he would just like to be able to get back to work, to be able to sustain his family. We are trying to assist the father to purchase much needed tools to be able to work and keep supporting his family.

Support an Emergency Worker

In a routine follow up call to check in on a pastor and his wife, he told me that the funds that they received had to go to a new rental deposit and first months rent. The home in which they were staying was up on the short term lease and the landlord would not renew the lease with them at the rate of fire relief that was once given for the first 6 months. They are still without the necessary baby items that they need because the money has to go to moving costs again. They have their newborn who has now been moved twice in the 6 weeks he's arrived. I'm advocating for another $5,000 for their baby to get the crib, stroller, and other needs that they can finally have for their baby since they are going to be moved in their new place in August. This is a pastor and his wife who are continuing helping the people of their church in the Palisades who also lost their homes, but are continuing to run into their own issues with securing housing. I'm asking for assistance because they are not taking from their church assistance for fires to leave more for the congregants.

Stabilize Housing Insecurity

A stay at home mother who lived in a rented house in Altadena with her husband who is an Audio Engineer and three children until their home was completely destroyed by fire. Following the total loss of their home, she and her family evacuated and have since secured a long-term rental apartment in Huntington Beach, where they now plan to stay for the next 1 to 2 years. Their current rent is $2,535 per month, a significant cost given the lack of immediate financial support following the fire. Her spouse is employed, and they report no insurance benefits, government assistance, or crowdfunding support related to the fire loss. She is now seeking two months of rental assistance to provide breathing room as her family settles into their new home and works toward rebuilding their lives.Their request includes: Two months of rent at $2,535/month: $5,070 Basic needs for food and clothing for a family of five: $1,000 . Total estimated assistance requested: $6,070 Providing this support would give their family the stability they urgently need after losing everything in the fire. Your assistance would directly impact a family working hard to move forward, offering hope, comfort, and security during this critical rebuilding phase.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

I have a family who is struggling financially and are unable to get a crib for the 5 months old boy. The parents are dealing with unexpected expenses related to a very expensive surgery that the 5 years old needs to have as soon as possible due to a medical diagnosis. The parents are hopeful to be able to overcome the current struggles they are facing financially to be able to continue providing safe environment for the children to thrive. Currently the parents are co-sleeping with the 5-month-old, and are in need of a crib, mattress, and sheets so that the baby can sleep independently. The parents are not able to afford purchasing a crib at this time. Providing these basic necessities would diminish the emotional stressors on the family. By fulfilling this request, it would help the Department reduce the family's financial burden and help prevent court involvement and ensure family stability.
