Ivanka Trump, the daughter of President Donald Trump, visited Altadena and Los Angeles Tuesday, January 28, with the organizers daily said outside the political arena.
Christopher Saller, Leading Pastor of the Expressions Church in Altadan, said he had been asked 72 hours before visit whether Trump could meet with church members and families who lost their homes in both fires that killed at least 27 souls have destroyed more than 12,000 structures.
“We heard that she wanted to come without any crews of cameras and that the goal is not political in any way,” Polar said. “We would not be comfortable if it was politicized.”
The church of the expressions had just been opened for just over 40 days before Ethan’s fire had pulled out the two-storey building, which hired Christ’s United Church on the path of Canya Canyon in Pasadena.
On Tuesday, they welcomed Trump to their new home, the former Foothills Community Church website at 2540 E. Orange Grove Blvd. In Pasadena, where they will start providing services at 9am, starting on February 9th.
The visit went well, Spolar said, with Trump helping to distribute bags full of an assortment of cleaning and hygiene supplies. She talks to some of the 12 families who have lost their homes in the Ethan fire. Expression Church has provided constant support for them.
“I think it was a ministry of presence for her,” said a spoler. “To show your care for families and support for churches and let us know that he sees us.”
The Non -Profit City Network, based on a faith network that trains churches and its members in the Community ministries, organizes a visit, which also includes a stop at the Dream Center in Los Angeles to distribute help to support families who were affected by the Palisadi Wildfire.
More than 400 cars passed through the Altadan distribution line, according to Chris Cochry, a spokesman for Cityserve.
“CityServe disasters reacts with the local churches because they are present before, during and after crises,” she said. “Local churches provide not only immediate relief but also lasting hope, helping to restore their communities long after the fading of the titles.”
Other groups that helped included the fearless church in Los Angeles and love have no restrictions on Dana Point, which helped to collect objects such as water, shoes, diapers, boxes and bags full of diverse homes.
“Many Ivanka families have helped to lose everything,” says Dave Donaldson, CityServe, based in Bakersfield. “Their needs are desperate. Ivanka wrapped her hands around them and listened to their stories with great empathy. She spent hours encouraging volunteers and first responding and distributing emergency supplies to families at Expression Church and Dream Center. “
A spoler said Trump also met and thanked the firefighters from station 11.
“I think what people took away from him was, ‘We see each other in our needs, we are not alone and there are people all around us who care for us,” Plaar said. “Our hope is, in the end, they will feel that God sees them and that He will work through all kinds of people.”
Trump’s visit comes less than a week after her father entered to tour damage from a fire in the Pacific Palisadi. He did not come to Altadan and Passaden on this trip.
