How You Can Help the Fire Victims

Serving Special Needs Population are several organizations, all of whom accept financial support through their websites:

Undocumented Immigrants who are ineligible for FEMA funds, can be helped by https://www.ciyja.org/caliimmfirefunds

* Fire Fund for People with Disabilities aka the Richard Devylder Disaster Relief Fund distributes assistive devices to those who have lost theirs: wheelchairs, scooters, canes, walkers,
hearing aids and other communication devices.

North Bay IWW Fire Relief Fund contacts homeless people directly and delivers what they need from donations received at evacuation centers.

* Animal Rescue: In Defense of Animals rescues and supports animals displaced by the fires https://www.idausa.org/
