Story
Single male was a victim of the Pacific Palisades fire for both his home and his business. Home is still intact, but household items have smoke damage and he needs to throw them away and replace them. The business was completely destroyed. The individual had no renters insurance for his home but had insurance for his business; however, the insurance was not able to cover all the losses for his business. The individual found a new apartment in Santa Monica and needs to replace the smoke damaged items with his own funds. He does not want an SBA loan for his business as he does not have the funds to pay the loan back. He has reached out to FEMA and completed an application for assistance, but has not heard back from them. It would be very helpful for the client to receive these funds to replace both household items that were smoke-damaged and to help his small business that was destroyed in the fire.
