Twin Families - Resources for those affected by California wildfires
Twin Families - Resources for those affected by California wildfires
Our hearts break as we continue to hear about the many families in California who are losing everything, and the devastation that is still spreading. We are deeply grateful for the firefighters, law enforcement and citizens who are actively giving their time and resources. It has been truly inspiring to see the broader community swiftly move to action to send additional funds and resources. There is hope and strength in numbers.
If you are or know of a family with baby twins in this area who have been affected by the fires, please get them in touch with us. We'd like to help.
Below is a list of resources for families across Los Angeles who are experiencing hardship. Please help us grow our resource list by contacting us with any additional resources to add and please help share this list with family and friends you know in the LA area.
Additionally, if you know of a trustworthy donation source or want to donate to the cause but don't know where to turn, we're gathering donation links below.
