Right now, it seems like the biggest item in the news these days, is the fires raging in Southern California. And that certainly isn't a surprise. Death, destruction, homelessness, etc, etc, etc. Regular people, ie: folks like you and I, are losing everything. And yes, celebrities, ie: those with lots and lots of money, are losing everything as well. While it may be easier for those people to recover, the losses are real and are traumatic. Yet, they face scorn and ridicule, because of their status. Stop it. Stop it now. JUST STOP!
The losses are real, and they don't check a person's bank statement before taking everything. My family suffered a residential fire this past July 8th. We lost most of our belongings, plus the life of a beloved family member. Fortunately, we had renter's insurance and were able to recover as best we could, and were able to set up in a new residence as best we could. But, the irreplaceable items, plus our beloved family member, leave a hole in our hearts that can never be repaired. A house fire has long been my greatest fear and this past July, this fear was realized. It was horrible indeed and I wouldn't wish such trauma on anyone.
Have some compassion, understanding and a willingness to help, if you can. Offer up prayers, good thoughts, or however you choose to offer support. It will be most appreciated by those who need it most. Thank you.
