Days after a wildfire destroyed their apartment and all their earthly belongings, Raul and Claudia De La Rosa have only one thing to lean on in the face of adversity: their Catholic faith.
Although they are now homeless, the longtime Altadena residents say they are trying to stay optimistic about their future and urge their four kids — ages 6 to 14 — to trust that God will help them find new housing and rebuild their lives.
“God does things for a reason,” Claudia said. “We’ve had to tell them that they will not have a home anymore, but he will provide. We will see what better things he has planned for us.”
