When Megan moved to Los Angeles in 2019, she thought she would fall in love with her job, not the city where her job brought her.
If you’re wondering how you can help Los Angeles move toward recovery after the wildfires, you can donate to:
California Community Foundation's Wildfire Recovery Fund
American Red Cross
Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation
If you'd rather donate to a specific individual or family, GoFundMe has set up a dedicated page where you can donate to SoCal fire victims, first responders, and others through their individual fundraising accounts.

Today, I’m sharing an idea for a show that was never published. “Close to the Sun” a show about real places and people in a magical city told in a magical way. Narrated by Erick Galindo.
