There are no words

I cannot look away from the tragedy sweeping our neighbors in LA. As we make donations, offer shelter, and do what we can to aid those in need, the vast scope of what has been lost is incomprehensible.

For those of us in the interior design community, who are in the business of defining "home," the sanctity of what has been lost is felt deeply.

There are some incredible resources and organizations on the ground doing the necessary work right now. If you can support or donate, here are some great places to start:

• @LAFDfoundation for ways to support or donate to the LAFD

• @cafirefound Supports firefighters, fallen firefighters’ families, and wildfire victims

• @LosAngelesFireDepartment for resources + up-to-date information

• @habitatla, @wckichen

• Foster an animal @mysafela

• @redcrossLA

• @caninerescueclub

Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference. Let's come together to help rebuild and support those in need.
