In Los Angeles, many domestic workers, including Theresa, are struggling after the Palisades fire disrupted their livelihoods. Theresa, who lost contact with her employer and uncertainties regarding her job, faces mounting bills while caring for her children, one of whom has asthma. Maegan Ortiz from IDEPSCA highlights the struggles of these workers amidst the aftermath of destructive wildfires that have taken lives and property. Despite the recent $2.5 billion relief package signed by California's governor, the long-term recovery for individual workers could take years, raising questions about their immediate needs and rights.

"Each night, she has to give her child a nebulizer treatment and has even had to take them to the emergency room."
