Yet - There were PRIVATE donations of $100 million FOR THE VICTIMS, yet none has been received by the victims.
The organizations receiving those funds for distribution should be held accountable, right? Can’t we agree on that?
How were they supposed to be distributed? What was the official wording? Because it could be that people thought the $$ was going directly to the victims, but in reality a 3rd party would get the money and then distribute it. I haven't seen any where that its being,mis spent, but also that very few individuals got much directly.
AI: Where did Fireaid money go? primarily going to non-profit organizations that are providing direct support to fire-affected communities. This includes assistance with emergency housing, food, trauma counseling, financial relief, childcare, and animal welfare. A portion of the funds are also allocated for long-term recovery efforts like financial and housing stability, mental health services, and community infrastructure.
The $100 million raised by
FireAid, a benefit concert for Los Angeles wildfire victims, was intended to be distributed to nonprofit organizations, not directly to individuals affected by the fires. These non-profits were then tasked with providing various forms of aid, including interim housing, financial counseling, mental health services, and resource distribution.
So half has been distributed already and I think I saw the second half in in the process of going out.
Also remember that the amount raised is less than 1/10 of one percent of what is estimated to be the recovery cost.
The total cost to rebuild after the recent Los Angeles wildfires is estimated to be between $250 and $275 billion. This figure includes the cost of rebuilding homes and businesses, as well as the broader economic impacts of displacement, business disruption, and other factors.
