<div><strong>We are currently fundraising in response to the Hawk Fire rapidly burning in Nevada. Donations raised will be delivered to verified people impacted as the need arises and so long as funding is available.

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Wildfires that strike quickly and burn out of control have become increasingly common in the western United States. These fires claim lives, destroy homes and property, and expose communities to harmful smoke. Each year, hundreds of people create fundraisers on the GoFundMe platform asking for help in the wake of a destructive wildfire.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fund was created to provide direct relief to people in need after a wildfire. Your tax-deductible donation will ensure this fund can support as many people as possible as soon as a disaster strikes. We send critical cash grants directly to people who need help recovering from the impact of a wildfire.
