The Gift of Human Support
Series: Healing LA From The Wildfires“When I cried, all the ladies came and gave me lots of hugs and… calmed me down to feel better. The hug is very important because it comes from the heart and to help you cope with the situation you are in,” said Nichama Ventovim, a care recipient at our January 30 #LAWildfire relief distribution. Indeed, when such disasters strike, turning lives upside down, we offer more than material relief, knowing the importance of the comfort of someone there to share their sorrow, and offer love and a listening ear. It was a sentiment echoed by another survivor, Louis Nelli, who shared that, “At a moment like this, kindness is really supreme. We just didn’t realize so many people cared. This outpouring of love and generosity is something that… It’s overwhelming.”
