Welcome
to
our
daily
feature,

Quote
of
the
Day
.


It’s
an
overwhelming
sense
of
loss.
People
want
to
do
something
to
help
and
the
reality
is,
I
don’t
know
what
that
is.
But
the
offers
are
there,
and
the
offers
are
tremendously
meaningful.





Judy
Keyes
,
an
employment
partner
at
Davis
Wright
Tremaine,
in
comments
given
to

Law360
,
concerning
the
destruction
of
her
home
due
to
the

raging
California
wildfires
.
Keyes
had
been
staying
with
a
colleague
from
the
firm,
and
recently
moved
to
an
Airbnb
in
Santa
Barbara
with
her
daughter’s
family,
whose
home
was
also
destroyed
by
the
fires.
As
she
has
been
rendered
homeless,
DWT
is
allowing
Keyes
to
use
her
office
address
for
her
financial
accounts
and
to
have
packages
delivered.
Keyes
explained
that
soon,
she’d
go
back
to
her
home
to
dig
through
the
rubble
and
ash
to
search
for
anything
of
value.
“I
just
need
to
see
it
with
my
own
eyes,”
she
said.
