CBS News Texas is teaming up with the American Red Cross to provide aid to those affected by the devastating California wildfires.
Through an Insta-Thon fundraiser, Texans have the opportunity to contribute and show support for wildfire victims in need.
The goal is to raise at least $5,000, with all donations going directly to the American Red Cross. These funds will help provide shelter, food, and essential relief supplies to those impacted by the fires.
Wildfires Leave a Trail of Destruction in California
The wildfires raging across the Los Angeles area have already claimed the lives of at least 28 people, destroyed more than 16,000 structures, and burned through 76 square miles of land.
Entire communities have been displaced, and many survivors are in urgent need of assistance.
CBS News Texas reporter Trevor Sochocki has been on the ground in California, assisting sister station KCAL, covering the ongoing crisis as the fires continue to burn.
