My family and I moved to an apartment complex in Pacific Palisades less than a year ago, and we are devastated to find out that our apartment building, with everything in it except our pets and ourselves, has burned to the ground by Los Angeles’s worst wildfire. We had no time to get any of our clothes or personal belongings.

We are staying at a hotel in Oxnard for now because the whole area is still under evacuation orders, and we have no idea what’s going on and what to do. We Can’t even get anywhere near there because it’s blocked off. Praying for everyone who has suffered loss in this horrible fire.
