Hello family and friends....
As you all know, the recent, devastating fires this week took the homes of so many people. My brother Mike, my sister in law, Sharon and my 3 nephews, Marston, Max and Miles, and their 3 dogs, Chewy, Padme and Rocky, lost their beautiful home in Altadena, CA. They lost EVERYTHING and barely had any time to collect stuff to survive even a few days after they evacuated.
Despite this unfortunate tragedy, we are beyond thankful and grateful that they are safe and ok. The outpouring of prayers and messages and calls we have received is so heartwarming and I am moved. Thank you for all the genuine concern and care, advices and tips you have all expressed and shown to help my brother and his family get resources. None of it has gone unnoticed and my family is so thankful. But now they have to move forward, they are faced with a huge challenge of starting over from scratch while returning to some type of normalcy. I am humbly asking for any support you would consider giving to help my brother and his family pick up where they left off as they navigate through this most difficult, next chapter of their lives. Any amount big or small is very much appreciated as it will help them during this crisis. If it is more comfortable for you, you can also venmo or zelle them direct.
It's been a hard past few days, accepting this new reality but THANK YOU SO MUCH, family and friends for all the support so far and I am hopeful and have undenying faith everyone affected will get through this. Please continue to pray for them and all the affected families as this is just the start of a long road ahead. It will be hard but I know they will get through this!
God Bless you all,
Mae Venus (Mike's sister)

Update from Sharon and Mike - January 23, 2025

I was hesitant to show this video because of how raw it is but I thought it was only right to share our journey with the people who have been so generous to our family.
We’ve made several attempts to see our home, but was never able to get past the National Guard. We already knew our home was gone but needed to see it for ourselves. What we saw we could not prepare for. Business after business, home after home… burned to ashes. Chimney bricks as one of the only remnants of proof of homes. Yes, we’ve seen it on the news but to see it, smell it, feel it… in real time was incomprehensible. We came up on our street and my heart was pounding. When Mike slowed down I was confused because I thought our home was still further. It was only when I saw our 13 ft Jack Skellington on the ground did I realize that was OUR home. Please forgive the obscenities. It was what I felt. It was my honest emotion.
It’s been a hard few weeks. Our youngest twin is still asking to go home. The older twin trying to explain we have no home and our oldest sweet boy asking if the places we’re going to is burned.
What keeps us going is the outpouring support we’ve been receiving from family, friends, coworkers and strangers. We have a long journey ahead but your prayers and words of encouragement have meant the world to us.
Thank you for the love you have shown to our family!!! ❤️🙏

From Mike and Sharon:
“We are doing well despite the tragedy. We have met amazing people with the biggest hearts.
Words cannot express how grateful my family feels. Our hearts are heavy but overfilled with the love that you have shown us. We are devastated with the loss of our home but thankful that we are alive and safe. Thank you doesn't do justice but it'll have to do. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! Thank you everyone who has helped our family in our most troubled time. We feel blessed with every text, call, hug and prayer. 🙏🙏🙏”
