The demand for respect and privacy is often at odds with the visibility these individuals create for themselves, leaving society to grapple with the consequences.

Instead, State Farm stated it could only offer up to 50% upfront unless a comprehensive inventory list is provided.
While some insurers have already paid the full coverage, State Farm's stance has drawn criticism, as victims of the recent Palisades Fire are left facing additional burdens in the aftermath of their losses.
