Standing Together: How to Help LA Fire Evacuees
The recent wildfires in Los Angeles have profoundly impacted countless lives, leaving many without homes, cherished belongings, and, tragically, loved ones. The devastation is deeply personal for me, as my children's school—a place we adored and considered a special, indescribable community—was lost to the flames.
Yet, amid this heartache, the resilience and unity of our community shine brightly. Neighbors, friends, and even strangers have come together, offering support, shelter, and solace to those in need. This collective spirit of compassion underscores the strength we possess when we stand together.
Whether you're a Los Angeles resident or live elsewhere, there are meaningful ways to contribute to the relief efforts:
Village School - My kids school that we loved so much.
American Red Cross: Provides food, shelter, relief supplies, emotional support, health services, spiritual care, and financial assistance to those affected.
