7 Southern California Wildfires Charities and Places to Donate

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

by Michael Dorausch, DC

wildfires in Southern California Thank you to all the friends, family, and colleagues who have been calling and e-mailing with concerns about our safety and well-being here in Southern California. Aside from a scratchy throat (from being a dummy and running outdoors on Tuesday) I’m doing fine here in the Santa Monica area. Many others in the state are not so fortunate. Most people coming to my office this week have had complaints of respiratory problems, sinus problems, burning eyes, and fatigue from the unusual heat we’ve had this week.

I can’t even begin to imagine what it’s like for those living closer to the fires, and those that have lost homes, pets, and even loved ones.

I put together a list of charities and organizations that are accepting financial contributions intended to help those affected by the 2007 Southern California Wildfires. If anyone else has an organization or charity that should be added to the list, please contact me, by clicking on the yellow envelope above, and I’ll get it added.
