While Fires Destroy, They Also Inflame Magnanimous, Compassionate Feelings

First and ever foremost are the brave firefighters tirelessly battling the monstrous California wind-blown fires around the clock risking their lives and fighting hard to save lives and property.

They feel mightily determined to succeed and we cheer and bless them all.

Next come the good people, the nonprofits providing food, clothing and shelter for the poor innocent victims, the many who’ve lost everything to these ferocious, gigantic fires on a rampage throughout the Los Angeles area and wide swaths of southern California.

It is hard to watch the news, but I credit also the brave TV news crews reporting from the horrendous scenes.

It’s also hard to imagine what so many are feeling who’ve lost loved ones and whose lives have been so uprooted, and their properties, businesses and livelihoods devastated.

I salute all those trying to help the victims from Elon Musk’s providing the stricken areas with internet connectivity to the compassionate capitalist Jonathan Kendrick whose company ROKiT World plans to provide durable homes for the fire victims for an unbelievable cost of only $5 a week.

Then there are those like Nancy Hite working behind the scenes to get the IRS & President-elect Trump to allow an executive order to allow these poor CA victims who lost their homes or businesses to access their retirement accounts without the normal financial 10-20% penalty.

Yes, those affected need help from all angles.

Bless her heart, Nancy is a CFP and Fiduciary who’s offering complimentary (FREE) two years of financial services and advice to all those CA fire victims, business owners, families and individuals. As a Fiduciary, not a product salesman, her focus will be on their goals and objectives to restore, rebuild, recover.

Her latest book is ironically titled:

“The Retirement Mirage… Time to Think Differently.”

Those Piercing Photos.

Yes, we are all emotionally upset by the photos on TV, and we cannot imagine the psychological issues these victims are experiencing.

Thankfully, many want to help like ROKiT World in the best way possible with knowledge and experience, resources and education, especially those like The Strategic Wealth Advisor™ Nancy who has more credentials CFP®️AIF®️CWS®️CLU, ChFC,RFC®️ than letters in her last name.

News Media, I was one of you myself. Once upon a time I was a reporter for The Philadelphia Inquirer and I’m in public relations today, which these CA fire victims need more than ever.

So, please share this information on your broadcasts with appropriate contact-for-help information.
