[Fredslist] Fwd: Let's Help Victims of the LA Wildfires!

Wed Jan 22 13:37:55 UTC 2025

Gotham, 

We NEED you all to do that thing you do so well!

You may have seen the post sent out Monday by Nancy Schess (original email posted below).  

We will be collecting donations through the Gotham City Networking Foundation for an organization called Direct Relief. They will be providing disaster relief and medical assistance to those affected by the LA area wildfires. 

Please use this link if you would like to donate: https://gothamfoundation.org/ 

ALL donations received through February 28th will be sent to Direct Relief (https://www.directrelief.org/).

Of course we would love for you to donate but, if you can’t or have already donated elsewhere, we ask that you instead, engage with our Social Media Post. Please SHARE, LIKE and COMMENT so that the algorithm can do it’s thing and help spread the word! 

I will post a few of the links below:
