The Pacific Palisades fire – the most destructive in Los Angeles history – killed 12 people and destroyed more than 6,800 structures earlier this year, turning swaths of western Los Angeles into a wasteland.
To the east, in Altadena, where the Eaton fire killed 19 people, the tightknit community is struggling to rebuild almost a year after the disaster.
We would like to speak to people who lost their homes in the wildfire and learn how they are approaching the upcoming holiday season.
How are you preparing? Are you still displaced? If you are, where will you go for the holidays? Will you be staying with friends or family? What are you doing differently this year? How are you feeling? Tell us.
