🔥 洛杉磯山火災情嚴重, 我们赴災區傳遞希望
Wildfires in Los Angeles: We Offers Support and Hope

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。

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 over 16,200 structures, and displaced 200,000 residents, ultimately causing $275 billion in damages. The Chinese community has been severely impacted, with many families needing urgent support.

The Mental Health Association for Chinese Communities (MHACC) quickly responded, distributing supplies, sharing mental health hotline information, and assisting evacuees at Santa Anita Park and other recovery centers. Volunteers worked tirelessly, providing resources and care into the night.

While the devastation is immense, mental health support and community efforts can help rebuild lives. For assistance, call the MHACC Warmline at 1-800-881-8502 or visit MHACC-USA.org.
