‘We don't have like, Oh, I'll just go to my second home and stay there,’ said Samantha Santoro, spotlighting the struggle of families affected by the wildfires in Altadena. Many families fear that recovery and rebuilding may be unattainable due to the financial burdens resulting from such devastation. Their perspective on the issue highlights the contrasts in the coverage of the fires, which seemed to favor celebrities over the struggles of local residents who’ve lost everything.
‘I think it’s hard to believe that you have nothing,’ Santoro said, reflecting on her family’s situation after losing their home. This sentiment captures the emotional turmoil and the stark reality faced by many residents who have been affected by the wildfires, emphasizing how deeply personal loss is connected to the community we build around ourselves. The weight of having worked for a home that now exists only in memories strikes a nerve with many.
