As Los Angeles faces the challenges brought by the Palisades, Eaton, and other ongoing fires, we are reminded of the incredible strength, resilience, and compassion that define us. In these moments of adversity, it is heartening to see neighbors, friends, and strangers alike come together to support those affected and to honor the bravery of the first responders who work tirelessly to keep us safe.
Having worked in the Palisades for 17 years, this situation hits especially close to home for me. I have witnessed firsthand the unwavering spirit of this community, and I know that same strength will guide everyone through this difficult time. We stand in solidarity with all those impacted.
For those looking to contribute or in need of assistance, the Mutual Aid LA Network has provided a growing list of resources that you can view by location and type of aid.
Let us continue to embody the spirit of unity and resilience, ensuring no one faces these challenges alone.
In community,
