Help Altadena/Pasadena Families in California -- Donations of Any Amount Appreciated

The Smart Set in Los Angeles is helping African American families impacted by the Fires - most families live in Altadena/Pasadena in properties that were inherited and were woefully underinsured. The Smart Set has already helped 26 families with cash donations. They are now focusing on high school students who need financial help to apply and attend college as well as ad hoc requests - such as today a family needs cleaning supplies to start a janatorial business - they lost their jobs due to the fires. Text me at 713-304-3336 to get the zelle number to send donations of any amount - all are appreciated. My cousin Gloria Mitchell is a key coordinator of these efforts. All funds donated go to help the families.
