I’m worried about chemical and metals in the soil specially from appliances and lead or asbestos after the fires.

Hello! I’m a coach in SGV and I’m looking to host a charity game at the school I work for where we could donate proceeds to those still being affected by the displacement the Eaton fire caused. I saw online there was a fund for teachers who were affected by the fire but couldn’t find any specific information on where to donate so I’m really interested in getting a contact for someone I can speak with so I can set up this fundraiser and make sure the funds are directed towards those who need it. Thank!!

I cant get a straight answer out of them, im going to call on monday but maybe someone here knows.

“SBA disaster loans are simple interest loans, and the interest begins accruing 12 months from the date of initial disbursement *July 28, 2026*. Interest accrues daily based on the outstanding principal balance of the loan.”

So why the hell do i owe $939 in interest?? Shouldn’t it be $35? Plus my initial payment of $353 went all to interest?

This has to be wrong? Anyone else see the same?

Cruz dropped his objection, and the Senate passed the house version of tax relief for wildfire compensation.

i recently made a post here about my situation, we’re in the last leg of rebuilding (total loss and then some) and my insurance company is refusing to pay out the last $220,000 "50% rebuild incentive“. i have a lawyer involved and the insurer’s on retainer lawyer is baffled by this and has advised them to issue the funds immediately, but the insurer is just flat out ignoring everyone. my lawyer is planning on filing an ex parte 850 petition to try to force their hand, but that could take anywhere from 30-90 days and we just don’t have that time. our estimated date of completion was Oct. 6th but we’ve had to stop all construction due to this and our contractor really doesn’t want it to be pushed into the winter season due to weather and such.

my partner and i are stressed beyond belief and are looking into Gap Financing, grants, anything. we tried to apply for the Altadena Land Initiative program but we don’t qualify due to our contractor not being in their list of approved contractors…but it got us wondering if there are any lenders in Altadena or the surrounding area that are offering Gap Financing for Eaton Fire victims, ideally ones with low interest and quick turnaround. we have no idea where to start looking but need that money like…yesterday lol

thank you my fellow survivors ❤️‍🩹

Not a lawyer, so if I’m understanding something in correctly, apologies.

A friendly reminder that the statute of limitations to sue, if you so choose too, runs out two years after the date of the event.

Rumor has it takes about 4 months to get through SCE’s compensation program’s “fast track” program, which gets you an initial offer with no obligation to accept.

So if you start the program now, in theory you’ll have an offer in early December, which gives you roughly a month to decide if you want to accept the offer, go into detailed review with SCE, or join a lawsuit.
