No matter how challenged we may feel with our day2day struggles, many of us can’t begin to fathom the horrific grief our California neighbors to the north are experiencing. If you’re thinking about helping, you may want to read this first.
Before you donate to a charity, make sure you know where your aid is going. The Center for International Disaster Information recommends checking with a charity monitoring organization like GiveWell, Charity Navigator, Charity Watch, or the Better Business Bureau before donating.
Make sure your donation is secure by going through an organization's official website or sending a check in the mail. Charity Navigator says you should never donate over the phone, email or unknown social media pages, as these are easier for scammers to target.
Our heartfelt thoughts & prayers are with our neighbors in harms way & to those risking life & limb battling the fires to protect them.
