From CAPAC
Dear Friend,
As Monterey Park and the San Gabriel Valley communities continue to recover from last week’s horrific tragedy, my office and I have compiled and released a comprehensive list of resources available to residents to deal with the financial and emotional toll of the attack. I encourage all those impacted by gun violence or traumatic events to review the list and utilize available services and resources. No one should feel alone or struggling during moments of immense grief and suffering.
The full list can be found below and is accessible under “Gun Violence Resources” on my homepage or available at: chu.house.gov/gun-violence-resources .
