PLEASE HELP!
We all heard, read or saw images of the devastated fires in Los Angeles. But do you know someone personally who lost their home in the fires? Perhaps coincidentally, I happened to read online about well-known Hollywood actors who owned multi-million dollars homes in the Pacific Palisades. A week later, so many of those homes burned down; not only those belonging to wealthy celebrities.
On Friday, January 17th, the Wall Street Journal asked the question, “What’s next for Los Angeles Luxury?” One of the fire victims, who “despite the immense personal loss, remains sanguine and philosophical. “It’s man against nature”, he said. “Nature doesn’t discriminate.” More than 12,000 structures have been destroyed. Among those, was the home and two rental properties that belonged to my client who became a personal friend. As we both share a passion about photography, we began to share our work with one another, and a friendship developed. And now all his photo equipment, along with everything they owned is gone.
Of course, he is not alone in this tragic circumstance; however, unlike some of the richer folks, his resources are very limited. Fortunately, one of his friends put together a short video, and his story was covered on the news.
At the beginning of the year, I suggested 2025 to be the Year of Sharing.
Now we all have the opportunity. Please help the Pazminos. Thank you.
Care and Share!
