This week, we talk to Stephanie Sambeat Odenath, a New Canaan resident who grew up in Pacific Palisades, Calif. This past weekend, she flew back to Los Angeles, where the childhood home where her parents were still living has been destroyed.

Here are some vetted resources for those seeking to help:

• Local LA American Red Cross

• Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation

• Baby2Baby

• World Central Kitchen (if you go to their site you can donate to California directly)

• Pasadena Community Foundation

• 211LA
