Resources for those affected by the LA Fires
Stay safe!
I know many of my readers are in Los Angeles. I truly hope you and your loved ones are safe, and that your homes remain unaffected. I’m okay, but a few people I know have lost their homes, and it breaks my heart to think that many others are facing the same devastation. Air quality is also worsening by the minute throughout the city.
In light of this, I wanted to use this space to share some helpful resources.

Closed Roads
If you need to drive somewhere, make sure you know which roads are closed. I can’t list them all here since they’re constantly changing, but you can track them here.

You can donate to the following organizations:
