I have friends who are dealing with this and are facing the prospect of having to throw away basically everything they own- whatever didn’t burn is now covered in toxic ash. If you’ve been wondering how to help people in California, here’s an option.

Thanks to everyone who has reached out to us with concern and support. If you’d like to contribute, this fund will be used by Caltech and JPL to support our colleagues and their families greatly impacted by the devastating fires. https://giving.caltech.edu/areas-to-support/relief
