Direct Fundraising for Los Angeles Area Fire Victims (Eaton & Palisades)

GOFUNDME'S WITH LESS THAN 20% OF THEIR GOAL REACHED.

*Updated at 2 PM PST Wednesday, 1/15 - many new links from people that I personally know or you personally know have been added to the top of the under 20% funded list, and fundraisers that have now surpassed 20% of their goal have been moved to the general section below, please continue to support those campaigns as they still have a long way to go before reaching their final goal.

---

Deciding where to donate can be challenging, especially with so many people in need. Every fundraiser featured on this page has been submitted directly by community members who know the beneficiary of the campaign personally.

The first section features fundraisers that have yet to reach 20% of their goal; the following section includes links that, while closer to reaching their goal, still have a long way to go. All links directly support real people, real neighbors, that I know or you know or your friend knows.

If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this page to hopefully reach someone who is able to offer financial support at this time.

If you have a link to submit, please DM it to me directly on Instagram @5pmlucky, along with the necessary information for the campaign to be properly verified.
