As Friday arrives, it’s hard to call it a happy one. Watching California burn this week has been heartbreaking. The devastation to lives, animals, and infrastructure in such a short time is overwhelming. So many lives have been uprooted, and the road to rebuilding anything resembling normalcy will require immense time, effort, and resources. My thoughts are with everyone impacted by these tragic fires. ❤️🩹 If you’re looking to help, there are countless ways to make a difference—but it’s crucial to approach it with care. Please be diligent and ensure your donations go to verified, reputable organizations. Fake or malicious funds often emerge during times of crisis, so don’t trust everything you see or hear. Always fact-check and cross-reference sources before giving. For those helping from afar, the American Red Cross is a safe and reliable way to contribute to relief efforts: 💻 Online: Visit the Red Cross donation page to make a secure online donation. https://lnkd.in/gXk3mt5A 📲 Phone: Call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) to donate over the phone. 💬 Text: Text "REDCROSS" to 90999 to make a $10 donation. Let’s come together to support those in need and ensure our compassion is channeled responsibly. #TrustAndSafety #CompassionAndCare #CaliforniaFires #FraudFighter

Supporting LA Wildfire Relief The recent Los Angeles wildfires have left thousands displaced, with many struggling to access basic necessities.

Bethenny Frankel and B Strong: A Masterclass in Compassion and Efficiency This clip from @bethennyfrankel is such an eye-opener. Through her incredible organization, B Strong, she has revolutionized disaster relief, raising and distributing millions of dollars to survivors of hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, and wildfires. Her passion and practicality have brought real change to people in their most vulnerable moments. In the video, Bethenny explains something so many of us don’t consider: why donating clothes or goods, though well-intentioned, can often fall short in helping those in need. She breaks down how cash donations, used for cash cards, empower families to get exactly what they need—whether it’s baby formula, a bus ticket, or even just a moment of normalcy in an overwhelming time. It’s a reminder that the best way to help isn’t always about what we think people need, but about trusting them to know what’s best for their own lives. Bethenny’s approach is compassionate, practical, and truly empowering. Let’s keep learning, growing, and giving in ways that truly uplift others. Huge gratitude to Bethenny and the B Strong team for showing us how it’s done. 💛 What are your thoughts on this? Have you ever considered donating cash over goods? Let’s talk about how we can all make a bigger impact together. #BeStrong #DisasterRelief #BethennyFrankel #CompassionInAction #HelpingHand #EmpowermentThroughGiving #CommunitySupport
