Los Angeles lawyers Gina Zapanta and Michael Alder have provided emergency housing and supplies to over 100 wildfire evacuees, expanding from 10 to 52 hotel rooms as demand grew. Their efforts emphasize the importance of continued support post-crisis. The couple, who temporarily evacuated due to a transformer explosion near their home, have been housing adults, children, and pets in various locations in Hollywood, Burbank, and Sherman Oaks. They have also distributed essential supplies and are accepting donations and volunteers through a website. Zapanta and Alder plan to provide long-term support even after the immediate crisis ends, viewing it as a responsibility and privilege to help those in need. They believe in the power of community support to overcome the darkness of tragic events, and are committed to providing aid to those affected by the wildfires in the Los Angeles area. Their ultimate goal is to be a steady support system for those who have lost their homes and belongings in the fires, ensuring that they are not forgotten even after the media attention fades.
