Wonderful!

Wonderful story of community caring!
Thank you all for coming together to heal a tragic scar.
I trust you have or will approach the Tesla community of friends of the pilot and passengers to help rebuild Lisa's life and livelihood - I did not see the Tesla name among the donors and am sure that group of friends and coworkers would be anxious to help in memory of their sad loss.
Such an inspiring story of love, care and Phoenix rising! Best of luck to all involved!

" When a lawsuit that settled in July 2013 did not give Jones enough money to rebuild, "
Please tell us how Jone's or Tesla's insurance didn't cover cost of replacing house immediately??

Along with Helen Palo Alto, I would ask why it took a law suit to recover anything and then an insufficient amount to rebuild the house and business.
The funds should have been made available within a few month at most, to rebuild, pay expenses while displaced, and penalties for the business lost.
The hard nosed attitude of the insurance company and the apparent failure of Tesla to help out are remarkable. Justice goes to the best lawyers!!??!!

Wonderful community help.

Agreed - where was Tesla that has benefited greatly from the surrounding communities? Would they have done so if the house was in Menlo Park or Palo Alto - more 'visible'? And the insurance companies - determined by the policy taken out by Tesla? Something is wrong here -

Aside from that, kudos to all who donated and worked on this, helping where it's needed. Many lessons to learn from this.

Helen of Palo Alto
There are different sources of child care in the community. But, somehow there is never enough. And the institutional child care can be quite impersonal (some are like "holding tanks" for kids)

When my child was young, the most loving and attentive and responsible care she got was in a private home from "Mrs. L" an older woman with an invalid husband.

My daughter got great care and my fees helped the care-giver - who my child regarded as a 3rd grandparent - make ends meet and keep her home. It was a win/win situation.

When I went to church, I gave thanks that she was there for my child.

Nevertheless, congratulations to those who helped rebuild her home and day care center. It's good to know that there are caring people out there.

A nice story of people helping out someone [portion removed. Please don't speculate on her private financial situation.]

Check you homeowner's policy -- are you covered for full replacement costs in today's building environment in this area?

Probably not.

If anyone knows Elon Musk personally please send him the article. I am sure he would be appalled to think people thought negatively about his company because of this tragedy. We have tried to reach out to him but he is insulated and may not even be aware of the situation. I would like to give him and the company the benefit of the doubt and believe he would like to make a positive impact to such a tragedy.
Think positively.
