慈济美国：伊顿火灾受灾家庭重建完成 7月25日返家
2025年1月，伊顿火灾（Eaton Fire）烧毁了阿尔塔迪纳（Altadena）居民 Amezcua 一家的住宅，一家人被迫离开住了多年的家。一年半之后，他们的新家在原址完成重建并通过最终验收；2026年7月25日，慈济美国志工与这户家庭的亲友、邻里齐聚新居，为他们举行简朴的祝福与返家仪式，庆祝这家人终于回到自己的家。
据慈济美国介绍，火灾发生后，志工第一时间送上食物与生活物资，并提供 30,000 美元财务援助，协助这家人度过紧急安置与重建初期的难关；重建的一年多里，志工持续探访、陪伴，直到新屋落成、验收通过。
伊顿火灾是2025年1月洛杉矶县最具破坏力的山火之一，重灾区阿尔塔迪纳大量住宅被毁，不少家庭至今仍在重建途中。慈济表示，灾后关怀不会在仪式后结束，将继续陪伴受灾家庭走完返家之路。（来源：慈济美国官网）
2025年1月，伊顿火灾与同期发生的帕利塞兹火灾（Palisades Fire）重创洛杉矶县多地，慈济美国自灾后即在受灾社区展开关怀与援助，Amezcua 一家是其长期陪伴的家庭之一。如需了解慈济美国的灾害援助与社区服务资讯，可至慈济美国官网 tzuchi.us 查询。
Tzu Chi USA: Eaton Fire Family Returns Home After Rebuild Completed
In January 2025, the Eaton Fire destroyed the Altadena home of the Amezcua family, forcing them out of the house they had lived in for years. A year and a half later, their new house was completed on the same lot and passed final inspection. On July 25, 2026, Tzu Chi USA volunteers joined the family's relatives, friends and neighbors at the new home for a simple blessing and homecoming ceremony.
According to Tzu Chi USA, volunteers delivered food and daily necessities soon after the fire and provided $30,000 in financial assistance to help the family through emergency housing and the early stage of rebuilding. Over the year that followed, volunteers kept visiting and accompanying the family until the new home was finished and approved.
The Eaton Fire was among the most destructive wildfires in Los Angeles County in January 2025, destroying large numbers of homes in Altadena, where many families are still rebuilding. Tzu Chi says its disaster care does not end with the ceremony and that it will continue standing with affected families on their way back home. (Source: Tzu Chi USA, tzuchi.us)
In January 2025, the Eaton Fire and the Palisades Fire, which broke out in the same period, devastated multiple communities across Los Angeles County. Tzu Chi USA began relief and care work in the affected areas soon after the fires, and the Amezcua family is one of the households it has accompanied over the long term.
