Nursing Student Living in Car with Kids After LA Wildfire Loss

Devastating Wildfire Loss

• 💔 Kahnai Jackson, a 27-year-old single mother of two, lost everything in the January 2025 Altadena fire.
• 🏠 She and her children were renting a room when the Eden fire destroyed their community.

Lack of Assistance for Renters

• 📄 Kahnai does not qualify for assistance because she lacked a lease or utility bills in her name.
• ⚠️ The system offers little help for renters, leaving them with no support after disasters.

Homelessness and Financial Struggles

• 🚗 Since the fire, Kahnai has been living out of her car and staying in low-cost motels.
• 💰 She is working side jobs to earn money but struggles to balance this with her nursing studies.
• 📚 Attending school from 9 AM to 1 PM leaves limited time for work and picking up her children by 6 PM.

Seeking Stable Housing

• 🤝 Realizing she cannot manage alone, Kahnai has set up a GoFundMe account.
• 🏡 The goal is to raise enough funds to secure stable housing for her family.
• 🌱 She is determined to provide a stable foundation for her children, Jeremiah (5) and Janiah (8).
