For the past year, Kim has done more than document recovery, she's been part of it. 💛 From community events and volunteer days to local businesses, hikes, and rebuilding sites, she's spent countless hours listening to stories, meeting neighbors, and capturing the moments that often go unseen. As she reflects on her journey, one message stands above the rest: the work isn't over. Our communities still need us to keep showing up and being good neighbors. Thank you, Kim, for helping preserve these stories and the spirit of Altadena and the Pacific Palisades. 🫂 #LARises #Altadena #Palisades #WeShowUp #DENAStrong
