Helping Out the West Coast

I know that we are not supposed to "solicit" on DU. But I can't be the only one who has thought "What can *I* Do?"

Hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced by the wildfires, many have permanently lost their homes, many have nowhere to go, have lost their clothes, their belongings. Whatever we can do to help these people - it's worth considering.

I know everyone is focused on the elections, and donating to candidates. But if you have a little extra, please consider.
