At this moment, the city of Los Angeles is burning with at least four fires in different locations, occurring for two day now. On the western coast of Los Angeles, Pacific Palisades has taken a hit with much of the town destroyed, and as the fire spreads to Topanga and Malibu, residents are preparing themselves to evacuate. This is a pretty wealthy community, such as celebrities and successful entrepreneurs reside there but also carry middle class families that have homes from generations back. On instagram I am watching my friends posting that they have lost their homes, to my favorite neighborhood restaurant has been burned down. This is truly sad, and hits home as this is my hometown carrying those closest to me. However my family are safe as they life a bit further from where the fires are taken place. But not only the residents and business owners have been infected, I think about all the jobs lost! Those that do not have the financial means to live in such a town and commute from low-income communities, now do not have a job to show up to as its has been destroyed by the fires. Plus animal life that has been killed, those from homes and farms to wildlife. This “natural” tragedy has full-circle not only affected those with money but those that have little or without. At a near time of government transition, I question: what comes next? How is the government going to help? My heart goes out to everyone back home.
