Our hearts go out to the many classmates who have been caught up in the unfolding disaster in the greater Los Angeles area. We do not yet know the extent of their losses, nor what form of help they may need in the coming weeks and months, but as a class we stand ready to offer support. If anyone knows of classmates with specific needs, please contact Joe McDonough so we can get the word out.
In the meantime, to offer immediate help to the affected communities, you can donate to any of the charities suggested and vetted by NBC Los Angeles.
