I live in Montecito where our community has been devastated by fire, flood and horrendous mudslides. So very many people have lost loved ones and lost their homes. My husband and I were spared the worst, and so when we have donated to help others, there were no strings attached and no expectations. On the contrary, we were and are overwhelmed with grief, but also relief, humility and gratitude — we still have each other and we still have our home.
