Beyoncé is putting her money where her mouth is and is lending a financial hand to those in need who were directly impacted by the Los Angeles wildfires.
Spotted on Variety through her BeyGOOD charity foundation, the Houston singer is donating $2.5 million to help those families who have suffered tremendous losses during the Los Angeles wildfires rebuild, specifically the Altadena and Pasadena, both of which have a high concentration of Black residents.
BeyGOOD joins the still-growing list of organizations, such as The Walt Disney Company, which pledged $15 million to relief and rebuilding efforts, and Paramount and Fox Corp., which donated $1 million to the American Red Cross and Los Angeles Fire Department.
Per Variety:
BeyGOOD, which was established in 2013, will provide the funds to families in Altadena and Pasadena, two areas that were devastated by wildfires that broke out on Tuesday. In addition to helping those who lost their homes and possessions, BeyGOOD will also assist churches and community centers in other impacted areas to address the immediate needs of people affected by the fires.
Despite all of the misinformation out there and blame incorrectly being thrown at L.A. Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom by GOP officials and the President-Elect, the wildfires, which were wildly unpredictable thanks to the powerful Santa Ana winds stoking the flames, continue to ravage the city.
Eleven people are dead as a result of the wildfires, with the toll expected to rise as the search effort for missing people and survivors currently happening.
It’s good to see celebs like Beyoncé being active instead of on social media placing blame on people like Khloe Kardashian, who faced the wrath of Black women after she decided to slam Karen Bass on Instagram.
Shoutout to Beyoncé!
