Story
I am requesting financial assistance for a disabled, 45 yr old single father with 2 children, ages 15 and 13. The client lives in Pasadena close to the affected areas of the Eaton Canyon Fire. His home was not destroyed but it was deemed unlivable by FEMA inspectors due to smoke damage, ash and soot. The client and his children are currently staying with family members until he is able to return to the home. He is on a fixed income and will need help with replacing mattresses for everyone in the home as well as clothing and furniture. Due to his disability, the client depends on his caregiver for many things. His caregiver will be assisting him with cleanup of the home and hopes to be back within the coming weeks. The client did apply for FEMA and has received assistance to pay for his current temporary housing. He is also utilizing whatever help is available within the community. The client could really benefit from receiving whatever type of financial assistance he can get to safely return to his home with his children.
