Our hearts are broken for everyone impacted by these wildfires. The devastation is beyond words—so many people have lost their homes, their belongings, and their sense of safety. Our City of Angels is in hell right now, and it’s hard to wrap your head around the scale of it all.
At the same time, we’ve been so moved by the incredible love and support pouring in from this community and beyond. It’s a powerful reminder of how strong we can be when we show up for each other.
We’ve put together a list of resources to help anyone who needs it. This list will keep growing as we find more ways to support. You’ll find it below, and if there’s something missing, let us know so we can add it.
Stay safe, LA. We’re here for you. Let’s look out for each other.
