Anael Sanchez is walking over the rubble of what used to be his home in Phoenix, Oregon."It was crazy," Sanchez said.He lost his home in the wind-driven Almeda fire which tore through four towns in the Rogue Valley of southern Oregon.“It was so thick, the smoke. You could hardly see far away," Sanchez described.Two of the towns, Phoenix and Talent, are home to a large Latinx immigrant population. Sanchez is originally from Mexico but has lived in the area for more than two decades. Since he lost his home, he says many local grocery stores, organizations and the Red Cross have helped him with basic needs.“Clothes, gift cards, a little bit of cash,” Sanchez said.One organization helping is Unete, a nonprofit organization that supports farmworkers and immigrants in southern Oregon and across the nation.“The extra challenge that the immigrant and the farmworker has is the income,” said Dago Berto Morales, director at Unete.According to Morales, the immigrant community in the area was already facing large disparities and an affordable housing crisis. The fire made it worse.“We’re asking the government or local communities to try to find a solution for the housing crisis,” Morales said.With wildfires raging throughout the western U.S., the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is providing rental assistance, home repair, low-cost loans and other programs for eligible residents. As a legal U.S. citizen, Sanchez could apply. But he says he won’t, knowing many of his friends and neighbors are undocumented.“In this park over there, there might be a bunch of immigrants. They’re not legal, maybe. And if they’re not legal, they’re not going to get help,” Sanchez said.To protect his identity as an undocumented immigrant, another man who lost his home has asked that we not share his name. He was living at what used to be the Phoenix Motel.“Por aquí yo entraba todo los días. Este era el cuarto por aca. Allí están las camas.” (Translation: "I entered through here every day. Over there was our room and those were our beds.”)He’s an agricultural worker in the area.“Si siempre ha trabajado en campos: como en California, Oregon, Washington. Pura pescas como uvas, manzanas, cherries.” (Translation: I’ve always worked in the fields like in California, Oregon, Washington. Crops like grapes, apples, and cherries.")He says he was in shock after seeing the devastation from the Almeda fire.“Como le digo me fui, todo estaba normal. Regreso y veo todo así. Como le digo pues no más al principio no la creí aquí vivía yo. Y casi nunca salgo y ese día a salí.” (Translation: When I left, everything was normal. When I returned, I saw everything like this. At the beginning, I didn’t believe that I lived here. I never go out, but that day I did.”)He lost important documents like his passport and title for the car, but he says he’s thankful he still has his job.“Como dicen se acaban las cosas materiales pero la vida sigue. Y se no le sigue trabajando, pues no hay nada. Porque nada le va a caer haci nomas.” (Translation: Like they say, even when you lose material stuff, life continues. And if you don’t continue working, there’s really nothing else, because nothing’s going to come out of nowhere.”)Both he and Sanchez are remaining strong.“Sitting there and crying is not going to help me at all," Sanchez said. "It’s sad like I said, it’s really sad, but life keeps going.”They say they’re ready to rebuild their lives because they’ve done it before.“I’ve lived a hard life, so I know the pain. I’m used to the pain," Sanchez said.Sanchez says his positive and sometimes sarcastic attitude is what pushes him forward.“That’s where the kitchen used to be. I’m trying to find my favorite cup, coffee cup,” Sanchez said in a sarcastic tone. **********You can donate to Unete's Fire Relief Fund hereIf you are an undocumented immigrant seeking assistance after losing a home to a wildfire, here is some helpful information from FEMA:Do you need to be a U.S. citizen to apply for assistance from FEMA?You must be a U.S. citizen, non-citizen national or Qualified Alien for a cash award from the FEMA’s Individuals and Households Program or from Disaster Unemployment Assistance. You may, however, apply on behalf of another household member, including a minor child, to qualify the household for assistance.What help is there for people who are undocumented?Even if you do not, or your family does not, qualify for FEMA cash assistance (Individuals and Households Program), FEMA can refer you and connect you to other programs that can assist you regardless of your immigration status. We work in partnership with local voluntary agencies such as the Red Cross, and these resources are available regardless of immigration status.Are there any repercussions for undocumented immigrants if they try to file for assistance?FEMA will not proactively provide applicant information to immigration or law enforcement organizations. However, in rare circumstances, based on a specific request, a FEMA applicant’s personal information may be shared within the Department of Homeland Security. 5110

Americans are trying to form better financial habits in light of the recession, building emergency savings and paying down debt.However, many are finding savings accounts are now returning next to nothing in interest. That's because of the Federal Reserve's decision to keep interest rates low.Rates that were over 2.5% a year ago are down to under 1% now. But there are some other accounts that can get you a better return.“Something known as a rewards checking account might be a better option,” said Greg McBride, Chief Financial Analyst at Bankrate.com. “These are accounts that typically pay higher yields, higher than even online savings accounts, you might find 1.5, 2, 2.5%, but you have to meet certain qualifications each month to earn that deal.”Rewards checking accounts typically are offered by smaller community banks and credit unions. They usually come with monthly requirements though, like direct deposit, online bill pay, enrolling in e-statements, and using your debit card a certain amount of times. But those are things many people already use.In terms of saving versus paying down debt now, experts say to save.“That's really critical. No one knows what’s going to happen down the road in terms of jobs or income, so having some money put away will help you sleep at night,” said McBride.Just to give you an idea, you could make by saving around ,000 a year at 3% interest rate, which a rewards account might pay.That’s compared to just 60 cents in an average savings account, which only has about a .06% interest rate. 1556
