Dear John

With the ongoing wildfires devastating the Los Angeles region, our hearts go out to everyone affected. Please know that you are in our thoughts during this incredibly difficult time.

We understand how overwhelming moments like these can be, and we want to remind you that you are not alone. We wanted to share some resources provided by the Los Angeles County Young Democrats and the Long Beach Young Democrats, who have come together to compile a list of resources for those in need or who are looking to help.

In Solidarity,

Quentin Wathum-Ocama
President, Young Democrats of America
