How to get help or help those affected by LA wildfires

1/7/2025, 7th day into 2025, we had the catastrophic wildfires caused by strong Santa Ana wind burning around us. We consider ourselves among the lucky ones, as the impact on us is far less severe than families and friends locate near the fire zones. So many places we once visited before with our children are now gone. There are not enough words to express our sadness as we are watching the fire keeps burning and spreading across areas that surround us. 

I want to share this quick guide because there’s so much information online, and I feel it could be helpful to have a quick reference on where to donate and how to help. So save and share this quick guide and spread the words to help the communities that affected by the wild fires this time.

Specifically the few companies that help children and families, I summarize them and list them out. Other organizations are as followed for your references.
