The devastating wildfires in Los Angeles earlier this month left behind a trail of destruction, affecting over 14,000 acres and thousands of structures in Altadena. While most people were figuring out how to evacuate and protect their families, Caitlin McHugh Stamos, wife of star John Stamos, had a different plan. Without hesitation, she jumped into action to help her hometown recover, putting her relief efforts above all else.
Speaking to , John Stamos shared how his wife’s commitment to aiding wildfire victims has left him in awe. “The moment we evacuated, Caitlin was already thinking about how she could help. She walked into a church in her hometown and said, ‘How can I help?’ And we haven’t seen her since,” he said, half-jokingly. While John has been busy taking care of their six-year-old son Billy, Caitlin has been out in the field, coordinating emergency aid through her nonprofit, Civic Soul Organization.
Caitlin’s efforts go beyond temporary relief.
Her vision? To ensure Altadena remains the charming, diverse community it has always been. She explained in an interview that many landowners risk losing their homes forever if forced to sell their damaged properties for “pennies on the dollar.” “We want to make sure these landowners become homeowners again,” she said, emphasizing the importance of rebuilding homes and lives.
John, who celebrates his eighth wedding anniversary with Caitlin next month, can’t stop praising his wife.
Despite the chaos, John reminded everyone of the importance of focusing on the positive. “Celebrate the good,” he urged. “There’s so much of it out there.” With Caitlin’s determination to help Altadena rise from the ashes, her story serves as a reminder of the resilience and kindness that can emerge even in the face of disaster.
