From KFBK Morning Anchor Cristina Mendonsa:
We know thousands are suffering. 52,000 Californians are faced with rebuilding their houses and lives in a place that no longer looks like home. Even if you aren't directly impacted, hearing about the devastation and pain and death is hard and wearing. The smoke enveloping the state is a constant reminder.
It is our job to report the deaths and the destruction but I've always believed news organizations are connectors too. I'm proud of our KFBK For The Community coverage today. We're highlighting people and organizations that are rushing in to help. Our hope is to connect you to ways you can assist too if you don't know how to best to help. Our intention is also to highlight the good that is rushing in to counter the painful. We should hear those stories too.
Thank you to these guests this morning and the others out there easing suffering with every kind act:
- Sacramento County Sheriff's Sgt. Cary Trznsky
- Former Congressman Doug Ose
- Frank from the Sexy Panda Truck
- SBA chief Linda McMahon
- Kelly Simone from Be Kind Canine
- Raquel's Pet Treat Shop and Dreaming Dog Brewery
