Why did the California not help?

There seems to be a misunderstanding in the question. California is a populous and prosperous state in the United States and is known for its technological innovation, entertainment industry, and agricultural production. It has a diverse economy and is home to many businesses, industries, and institutions. There is no evidence to suggest that California has refused to help or assist in any particular situation or context. If there is a specific scenario or event you are referring to, please provide more details or context so I can provide a more accurate response.
