I know two families that lost their homes in Altadena, CA due to the Eaton Canyon fire and they didn’t have fire insurance.
If anyone has guidance on what they can do, can you please share it with me 🙏🏼.

Finished listening to this #audiobook early this morning 📚🎧🥰 it’s set in current times in the #Ohio and #Alabama areas. The characters were endearing right away. Small town life themed. Imperfectly perfect stories for all the characters. The ending has an unexpected surprise that made me go back and read the beginning of the #book again to set all the details in place. #bookstodon #atthecoffeeshopofcuriosities
