@lizalps@bsky.social has put together a spreadsheet of all the Hollywood crew GoFundMes she could find - the below-the-line people I mentioned earlier, who were already struggling before the fires. Many have been funded, which is marvelous, but there are many which aren't even at 25%. Help if you can, share if you can't - it's all good.

Another thing.
#Altadena is a historically Black neighborhood. Tied into the work that John Brown’s sons did after his death and their migration west, along with being a free state, Altadena #California was one of the only cities to outlaw redlining, allowing Black families to purchase houses in the developing area.
This is why so many legendary African Americans come from this area - from Octavia to the directorial icon John Singleton.
It’s devastating on several levels.
If you want to send help, there is a legendary bookstore in Alta/Pasadena called “Octavia’s Shelf” that is currently doing amazing relief work for the community. Find their contact info, connect with them, and see how you can support both their business and their efforts. #EatonFire #Altadena #Pasadena #OctaviasShelf
Octavia's Bookshelf
Pasadena's first independent bookstore highlighting BIPOC authors. Located at 1361 North Hill Ave, Pasadena, CA 91104.Octavia's Bookshelf
Yeah I’m calling it.
This is going to be worse than the Northridge earthquake and the ‘94 Malibu fires combined. In terms of buildings, heritage/history and lives lost.
Octavia Butlers house gone. Jackie Robinsons house is gone. Will rogers estate lost. Abolitionist John Brown’s site gone. The legendary 150 year old Christmas tree lane destroyed. #JPL #NASA in the line of fire.
#Altadena barely exists anymore. #Pasadena is going to shift forever. It is heartbreaking. #eatonfire #LAWildfires
This is a mind-numbing satellite image from Maxar Technologies of the wildfire in Altadena, posted at CNN.
The hi-res composite image was taken at 10:45 a.m. PT by one of their LEO satellites and uses a mix of shortwave infrared and visible wavelengths. It shows nearly every building in western Altadena on fire 😢.
JPL is just to the west of the NW quadrant of this image.

My wife's brother and his wife lost everything to the Eaton fire today in Altadena, CA.
I've just started this GoFundMe with their blessing, to help them raise money to find a new place and begin to rebuild their belongings.
Any help appreciated, even boosts. Thanks! #EatonFire #Altadena #fire #gofundme #disaster gofundme.com/f/help-michael-br…
