The California Los Angeles Fires: A Community Call to Action
The recent fires in Los Angeles have highlighted the devastating toll wildfires can take on our communities. At Towerpoint Wealth, these fires have hit especially close to home.
Our Advisor and Partner, Jonathan LaTurner, has family living in Southern California, and while we are incredibly grateful that Jonathan’s brother, Hunter LaTurner, and his family were spared, their neighborhood and countless others were not as fortunate. Below, you’ll see a photo comparison: A photo of Hunter’s home is on the left, and his direct next-door neighbor’s home is on the right.
California’s wildfire season continues to disrupt and devastate, leaving families without homes and in urgent need of support. As we process the impact of these fires and ask what we can do to help, we are reminded of the importance of standing together in times of crisis. At Towerpoint Wealth, we are committed to helping those affected by contributing to disaster relief efforts and encouraging others to do the same.
Making a Difference Together
In addition to financial contributions, Jonathan and his wife, Katie, are organizing a donation drive to support families displaced by the fires, We’re collecting the following items:
- Gently used clothing
- Toiletries and hygiene products
- Kids’ toys and books
- Household essentials (bedding, kitchen items, etc.)
- School supplies
These donations will go directly to families in need, offering tangible support as they begin to rebuild their lives. For more details on how to contribute, please contact us directly.
