A must-read story by @brittny_mejia & @LATvives on the people who worked in L.A.'s fire-ravaged communities as housekeepers, gardeners and nannies, who now mourn alongside their employers - some of them like family - and wonder how they'll make ends meet. latimes.com/california/story…

These gardeners, housekeepers, nannies kept Pacific Palisades going. Fire took their jobs

Housekeepers, gardeners, pool cleaners and other workers have been left grappling with a loss of income and grief for longtime employers they considered family.

If anyone is curious, the previous President and CEO of Saint Anthony Hospital, a safety-net hospital serving mostly uninsured or Medicaid patients, made $771,365 in '22-'23 and $499,295 in other forms of compensation. Dorval Carter is probably in line for something similar.
