Summary
What happens after the flames are extinguished — when entire communities are left trying to process trauma, rebuild their lives, and rediscover hope? In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Kim Marshall to discuss her firsthand experience surviving the devastating Los Angeles wildfires and how that experience inspired her to launch the #LA Rising podcast. Kim shares the terrifying story of her evacuation, the emotional toll of displacement, and the long-term challenges wildfire survivors continue to face months after the disaster captured global attention. Kim explains why storytelling plays a critical role in healing, preparedness, and community resilience. From interviewing survivors, firefighters, community organizers, health experts, and local leaders to documenting lessons that other communities can learn from future climate disasters, Kim’s work is helping preserve a living history of recovery and hope. The discussion also explores disaster philanthropy, emergency preparedness, environmental health concerns, mental wellness after trauma, and the importance of creating space for people to truly be heard. Whether you are involved in philanthropy, disaster response, nonprofit leadership, mental health, or simply care about the future of resilient communities, this episode offers a deeply human and inspiring conversation about rebuilding lives through compassion, connection, and storytelling.
