Solo Episode: Supporting California

Suzy Chase:       My heart is heavy today as we turn our attention to the devastating wildfires sweeping through California, these fires have ravaged homes, displaced families, and pushed first responders to their limits as they work tirelessly to protect lives and property. In times like these, we are reminded of the incredible bravery and dedication of the firefighters who risk everything to keep us safe. But did you know that many of these heroes rely on support from organizations to ensure they have tools and supplies they need to battle these relentless blazes? Well, that's why I've created a fundraiser on the Decorating by the Book Instagram page for the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation. When disasters like this strike, it's not just about rebuilding, it's about the survival in the here and now, and that's where organizations like the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank step in, they've been working tirelessly to provide essential food assistance like water and meals to shelter and relief agencies serving those affected by wildfires. So in the spirit of giving back, I've also created a fundraiser over on the Cookery by the Book Instagram page to support this incredible organization and its efforts to bring immediate relief to those in need. Both of these organizations have been vetted by Charity Navigator, so you can be assured every dollar raised goes directly toward providing resources for families who've lost so much and supporting these frontline heroes. Let's stand with California and its firefighters during this challenging time. Thank you. Talk to you later. Bye.
