A single man has been taking care of his mom, living in Altadena in their rental home for the last 6 years. He is a lifelong Altadenian. He grew up in Altadena and works in Altadena. His heart is for his community. He does security and has been working at most of the local events (Red Cross events, giveaways, etc) and because he has been working, he has not always been able to benefit from the events as a survivor. He and his mom lost everything in the fire. Unfortunately they did not have renters insurance. They were able to find very temporary housing for the last few months at an expensive price point. He has now been able to find housing for July move -in but is in need of deposit and first month.

A single mother and her daughter moved in with her parents 4 months before the fires so she could take care of her parents. They were able to live together for four months before the fires started. They stayed in the house as long as they could, she sent her daughter and her parents to a hotel and she stayed back at the house to literally fight the fire. They were renting their home and did not have renters insurance and so she felt like she needed to do everything in her power to keep the fires from taking over the house. Fire got on the roof and damaged it, but thankfully it did not burn the house down. Because of the fire damage, they lost their furniture, beds, and clothing due to excessive smoke damage. They had to stay in a hotel until most of the house was cleaned and ready for them to move back. 4 weeks ago, her job closed down. She's currently on unemployment and looking for a job. She has been working so hard at helping her mother and daughter through the fire and the grief of loss.

Two children; a girl age 4 and a boy age 6, were recently placed in foster care. The plan is to place the children in the home with their grandmother. The grandmother is on a fixed income and is struggling financially and is unable to purchase necessary items for the children. The children are in need of booster seats for the car and toddler beds. The family is asking for help with any of the items listed or a gift card to Walmart to purchase the items.

The current kinship placement is requesting help with obtaining a crib mattress for a 1 month old newborn baby that was placed in their care. Currently, the baby is sleeping in a bassinet, and the family would like help in obtaining a mattress for the crib.

A provider that has taken in three grandchildren, who is on a low income has had a hard time keeping up with the demands of the growing children. The children are now getting older and the provider is in need of diapers, and walking chairs for the children as they are now starting to move. The provider is asking for a $200 gift card to help her purchase these items for the children. The provider is thankful for any help that is received.

There is a single mom within our community who is in great need of assistance. She has two little children (girl -2, boy-1) and is expected to deliver her 3rd child.
