On the morning of January 8th, Lisa lost everything. The home she had been renting in Altadena, California, containing everything she owned, was burned to the ground in the Eaton fire. Fortunately, she got out the evening prior, but at that time her neighborhood wasn’t in danger. She had blithely packed up her dog Charlie, and a change of underwear, then went to stay with friends at their insistence. By morning, everything she owned was in ashes. She had been renting the home for almost 10 years – since prior to her retirement from the Huntington Library. You can imagine how completely untethered she must feel.
Over the years, all her siblings have moved from the Pasadena area. From here in Colorado, there is little I can do to help her – I can’t even give her a hug. Most of you know the economic strain I’m under, as I work 3 jobs trying to set my kids up for long-term success. But if I put my meager assistance together with contributions from others, we could make a real difference for Lisa. Nothing could look better to her right now than some pocket money. Please help me help her. She is the kindest, most generous-hearted person on the planet. And if the situation were reversed, she would be the first one in line to help any of us. Thank you all so very much!
Sending love and hugs from Las Vegas
Dear Lisa, We are thinking of you during this difficult time. Our hearts are with you and we are thankful that you are safe. We're thankful also for those who risked their lives to save some of the homes here. https://mtnviewsnews.com/v19/htm/n03/p02.htm Christopher "Kit-the-Brit" and Catherine
I hope this helps a bit Lisa. My body is in NH, but my heart is with you. With wonderful memories and fondness. Thanks for all those great times!!!
Pray this lifts your spirits and helps get you through the restart process. XOXO
Step by step. Love to you and Charlie.
Hoping that the pain begins to subside and that you and your pup can begin moving toward normalcy- baby step by baby step
