FAQs
Q: Who can request a Lil’ Lotus Kit?
A: Anyone who lost their home in the 2025 wildfires and is experiencing financial hardship. We prioritize families who are uninsured, underinsured, elderly, or still displaced.
Q: How are recipients chosen?
We review each request individually and prioritize based on need — especially those without insurance, with children, or in temporary housing.
Q: How are kits being distributed right now?
A: Our first 10 Lil’ Lotus Kits are being distributed through Victory Bible Church in Pasadena. Nearly 50 homes were lost within their congregation, and they’ve been actively helping families navigate recovery both within their church and across the wider community.
Future kits will be distributed through a mix of direct applications and local partnerships.
Q: Can I refer someone else?
A: Yes. Please share the form with anyone affected by the wildfires. We currently don’t accept third-party submissions. Each family must apply directly.
