DONATIONS For those wanting to contribute direct boots-on-the-ground help to people impacted by the fires in LA, ALBB's actual sister works for a large law firm who also employees the founder of the Brown Bag Lady, who has served over 100,000 homeless people in LA. She is looking for socks and underwear. "She usually passes out supplies to unhoused people on skid row in LA, but has been doing emergency response. She just texted to ask for help getting underwear to hand out." Here is the link to her Wish List. Locally, one ALBB reader, @TellItLikeItIsLiz, let us know that her mom's house burned down (not in LA but elsewhere). This was in August, and we are just getting the GoFundMe to you. Here is information and GoFundMe about her mom and their three story house that burned down. Nami Yum Yum Is Open!
