截止2025年1月24日，洛杉磯山火已造成28人死亡，16,200多棟建築受損或被毀，20萬人被迫撤離家園，經濟損失高達2750億美元。當地華人社區受到嚴重影響，許多家庭急需支持和心理重建。

美國華裔精神健康聯盟（MHACC）迅速行動，準備救援物資並趕赴災區。在洛杉磯Santa Anita Park，志願者向受災華人分發物資，提供心理暖線資源，並協助他們與救援機構聯繫。

我們還前往災後恢復中心和夢想中心分發物資，廣播中宣傳心理暖線資訊。即使夜晚降臨，志願者仍持續工作，傳遞支持與關懷。

儘管災難帶來的痛苦無法立即消除，但我們相信通過心理支持和社區力量，每個人都能走出陰影，重建家園。如需幫助，請撥打心理暖線：1-800-881-8502，或訪問MHACC-USA.org

As of January 24, 2025, the Los Angeles wildfires have claimed 28 lives, destroyed or damaged over 16,200 structures, and displaced 200,000 residents. Economic losses are estimated at $275 billion. The Chinese community has been hit hard, with many families in urgent need of assistance.

The Mental Health Association for Chinese Communities (MHACC) responded quickly, preparing supplies and heading to the affected areas. At Santa Anita Park, volunteers distributed resources, shared mental health hotline information, and helped evacuees connect with aid organizations.

We also visited Disaster Recovery Centers and the Dream Center to provide supplies and share warmline details via radio broadcasts. Even as night fell, MHACC volunteers continued to work tirelessly, offering support and care.

While the pain caused by the fires cannot be undone overnight, mental health support and community collaboration can help people rebuild their lives. If you need help, please call the MHACC Warmline at 1-800-881-8502 or visit MHACC-USA.org.
