Laurel Rose von Hoffman Kurzi’s family villa on Lake Tahoe is her safe haven while fighting stage 4 lymphoma, which can be life-threatening to weakened immunity. I thought it would be a hut far away from illnesses like COVID-19.

Around 5:30 am on October 30, she woke up to a “crash” sound in a nearby kitchen. She thought her son was there, but when Hoffman Kurzi checked, she saw a bear passing through the freezer.
“You can see behind the freezer door, behind which is the butt meat of a bear standing in the freezer, taking frozen food and throwing it to the ground,” Hoffman Kurzi told USA Today. “He must have seen and registered me almost as soon as I registered him.”
