LA Wildfire & Annemarie Pazmino On Losing Her Altadena Home
Jamie talks with Annemarie Pazmino (she also goes by Annamarie and Anna), whose family lost their Altadena, CA home in the Los Angeles Eaton wildfire. Annemarie shares the harrowing account of the day her family left their home, unaware they would never see it again. She recounts the irreplaceable losses from cherished mementos, to their beloved chickens, and even her father's and grandmother's ashes. Built with their own hands and life savings, the destruction of their home left them navigating the "Hunger Games" of finding housing - from insufficient savings to qualify for rentals, finding housing that accepted pets, and landlords price gouging, with little help from FEMA or insurance. Annemarie refelcts on how their community became their greatest support, shares where her family stands today, and how listeners can help support families rebuild after devastating loss.
