2025 - 6 Fleeing the Flames, Losing Everything: A Conversation with Jennifer

Jennifer is a single mom of two children who all fled for their lives on January 7th. Along with her parents, sister and their families, who all lived together in Altadena, they lost home. Jennifer talks with Rabbi Joshua about her life pre-fire and what has happened since that harrowing night. Jennifer and her kids, after 7 months of moving around from motels to airbnbs, are now settled in a new apartment in Pasadena, the first people in Friends In Deed's new time limited subsidy program (TLS), which offers families up to 12 months rent to help them get back on their feet, along with case management and ongoing support. We are grateful to Jennifer for sharing her story with us. Closing music: Eric Claptonhttps://friendsindeedpas.org
