Early January 7th, the Santa Ana winds sparked wildfires throughout many areas of LA County. Most devastating, the Palisades and the Eaton Fires, destroying tens of thousands of acres of land in the Pacific Palisades, Malibu, Altadena, and Pasadena. Hundreds of thousands had to evacuate, with a state of emergency being declared almost immediately. Thousands of homes and structures were destroyed, devastating entire neighbourhoods, as well as taking the lives of 31 people. Our GEM USA West team was on the ground right away, and has been supported by our GEM HQ in order to provide the most robust effort. This disaster has completely destroyed communities, and our teams are working diligently to deliver hope and support indefinitely.

The GEM BStrong team visited various locations throughout the area including shelters, evacuation points, and distribution sites to deliver cards. To date, over $500,000 in direct financial assistance has been provided.
