Updated: Family Needs Help After Death of 3-Year-Old

The Lopez family lost their 3-year-old daughter in a tragic accident and will receive help from a County Supervisor Michael Antonovich's charitable fund.

An Altadena family lost their 3-year-old daughter in a tragic accident this week and needs financial support from the community to help pay from the community.

The following information on how to help was sent to Altadena Patch by community volunteer Carolyn Seitz:

Yesterday, an Altadena family suffered the loss of their child, a beautiful 3 year old girl named Katherine, in a tragic accident.

It is devastating for them and it was for the Altadena Sheriff's Deputies and Captain McLean who arrived on the scene shortly after the accident occurred.

This family does not have the means to pay for a funeral for their daughter and Captain McLean, the leadership team at the Altadena Station and the Deputies are asking for your help.

You can help in one of three ways:

Drop money off at the Altadena Sheriff's Station and tell the person at the desk it is for the fund for Katherine.

Go to the car wash being planned for Saturday, July 2 at 11 am at the Carl's Jr., 790 North Lake Avenue in Pasadena

Go to Wells Fargo Bank and make a deposit to the fund for Katherine's funeral.  Here is the info:
"Katherine Lopez Donation" Acct #73-21253424

Any help will be gratefully appreciated by this family.

Updated: Carolyn Seitz writes that County Supervisor Michael Antonvich will pay for the cost of the funeral out of the Michael Antonovich Charitable Foundation.  But there are other ways to help, Seitz writes:

The family still has other extraordinary expenses to cover, including medical costs and to help cover the gap since they have missed time from work.


Any help you can provide will still be much appreciated.
