PACIFIC PALISADES FIRE
In light of the recent events, I wanted to let you know that our thoughts remain with every member of the Pacific Palisades who was affected by this devastating disaster.
To those that have lost their homes, memories and peace - know that you're not alone. In dark times like this, it's the strength of the community and the compassion we extend to one another that help carry us forward. To all the firefighters and first responders who've risked their lives to protect us, thank you so much for your service. Know that all your efforts have not gone unnoticed. And to all the families trying to rebuild - we see you, we support you and we'll continue to stand with you.
Times like this test the bonds between us, but also reveals the inherent goodness that exists within our humanity. Let's continue to show up for one another. Whether it's through providing a donation, a warm meal, a helping hand, a place to stay or giving an ear to listen to those who've been affected.
Together, we'll help the members of the Pacific Palisades heal, rebuild, and grow stronger.
With heartfelt sympathy and unwavering support,
-Laurel Earhart
