About this page
Hi I’m Tony, owner of 3tone Digital. My wife and I created this resource center for those facing the devastating impact of fires in Los Angeles and nearby areas.
Having lived in California for 10 years and overcome challenges in my own life, including homelessness, I know very well how overwhelming it can feel when your world is turned upside down.
Today is Friday, January 10th. I will be updating this page with information throughout the weekend. Please share for more visibility.
