Teen Mom’s Cheyenne Floyd Shares How Eaton Fire Destroyed Her Hometown

Teen Mom’s Cheyenne Floyd is determined to help as many people affected by the Los Angeles wildfires as possible.

“I was born and raised in Altadena. My childhood home is at the top of where everything was happening and where the fires were really, really bad,” Floyd, 32, exclusively told Us Weekly on Wednesday, January 15. “The church that we grew up in, the schools, the grocery stores, our favorite pastrami shop, every single thing is gone. It’s just devastating.”

The Eaton Fire, which started in Altadena, has burned more than 14,000 acres and more than 7,000 structures have been damaged or destroyed.

Although Floyd’s current house is located nearly 30 miles away, the tragedy still hits home.

“Altadena is such a special place,” she said. “It was gorgeous. The trees and the mountains and the houses had so much character, and then it’s also special because that was one of the first places that opened up to allow Black people to buy homes over there. A lot of those houses are 4/5th generational homes, and that’s gone.”

With the help of her husband, Zach Davis, family and complete strangers, Floyd is trying her best to help as many people rebuild and adjust to a brand-new reality.

One night, Floyd started an Amazon wishlist for her Snapchat followers with nearly 100 items added. After fans from across the country fulfilled orders immediately, Floyd kept expanding.

“The next day, I just sat on my couch and I added thousands of products, and then I was like, ‘I wonder if this is gonna work,’” she said. “I woke up the next morning and I looked at Zach and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, there’s 1,600 orders. What are we gonna do?’”

The couple turned their Los Angeles home into what they jokingly called an “Amazon warehouse” where victims could pick up essential items. They’ve since expanded into a StarSuites Beauty Salon in Sherman Oaks, California.

“We started in the garage, and then we kind of just moved on into the actual house, because we ran out of room,” Davis shared. “Now we’re just everywhere.”

The MTV reality stars have received support from their Teen Mom family including Maci Bookout, Jade Cline, Catelynn Lowell and Mackenzie McKee. Floyd’s biggest supporter, however, is her husband.

“I’m beyond proud of her and just amazed to see the way she can round this up in a matter of [days],” Davis told Us. “This started as something she didn’t think would be as big. She thought maybe 100 packages or 200 orders, but it ended up being over 3,000. I feel blessed as a husband to be able to have a wife on my side who’s willing and able to do this and use the platform for the greater good. It’s a blessing.”

While many celebrities are affected by the Los Angeles wildfires, Floyd reminded Us that it doesn’t matter where destruction hits in Southern California. Every victim needs and deserves support during an uncertain time.

“You have no idea what anybody’s financial state is, whether they’re living in this nice house or living check to check. You just don’t know,” she said. “Either way, it doesn’t matter if you’re rich or if you’re poor. At this point, if you lost your home, you’re homeless. Everyone is on the same playing field of starting over and having to rebuild.”
