LOST ENGAGEMENT RING IN THE PALISADES FIRE FOUND AND RETURNED.
Sam called me to let me know that his house burnt to the ground in the Palisades fire. He told me that his house was 10,000 squares feet and did I think it was possible to find an engagement ring in the rubble. He told me that he had four friends sifting and searching for it the day before with no luck. I told him that I would meet him the next day, and give it a shot. When I arrived Sam showed me there was no access to the house from the street, because there was a 20 feet drop to the bottom, we had to climb down a neighbor’s hillside of debris and climb over two fences. This took about 50 minutes to get down there and drag all the equipment with us. Once I started to dig and rake I found Sam’s ring in les than 10 minutes, It seemed like a miracle but we did it. He was overwhelmed with emotion.
It took him 20 years to save to build his dream house with an ocean view, and the devastating fire took it from him in an instant. This is a similar story to thousands of other fire victims, who suffered an unimaginable loss. My heart goes out to all of them and can only hope that I can bring some solace to these families.
