I would like to extend my heartfelt condolences to all those affected by the devastating winds and fires. The impact on our communities has been profound, resulting in the loss of homes, schools, neighborhoods, and cherished places of worship. During this difficult time, we share in the sorrow of those experiencing such significant hardship, and our thoughts are with everyone impacted by this situation.

We understand that many individuals want to contribute and lend a helping hand after such tragedies. We are compiling a comprehensive list of resources and assistance opportunities. We'd like to encourage you to share any resources or opportunities you may know of, as this will help us create a more thorough compilation. This list will include information on donation opportunities and support services designed to aid those in need as they begin the recovery and rebuilding process.

We stand in solidarity with those affected and are committed to providing full support during these challenging times. As a community, we will come together to promote healing and restoration, ensuring that everyone receives the assistance they need throughout this recovery process.
