In the midst of devastation caused by wildfires in Altadena, a community has come together to support each other. Despite homes being destroyed and families being displaced, there has been an outpouring of support and assistance from neighbors and strangers alike. The sentiment of “look for the helpers,” as famously quoted by Fred Rogers, is evident as people come forward to offer housing, food, medical care, and hope to those in need.
Although tragedies have occurred, the spirit of resilience and unity is prevailing. Even as the National Guard patrols the streets to prevent looting, the focus remains on helping those affected by the fires. The sense of community and generosity is serving as a beacon of hope in the midst of the chaos.
As the community continues to rally together, the bad actors who may seek to take advantage of the situation are being overshadowed by the overwhelming support and kindness being shown by the helpers. The story of Altadena is not just one of destruction, but also one of compassion and strength in the face of adversity.
