This is really nice Matty. And I think it’s very fair and helpful being clear who you are focused on helping-makes sense. We can all do something, though we can’t do everything. A lovely thought and gesture! 🙏🏼
What a great man this guy is. These fires are just terrible. We’ve had some massive fires in Australia over the years but none have gone through a city like this. It’s mostly always out in the bush areas. I second that giving money to charities who have “administration fees” is not worth it. There needs to be a direct way where those in need get help.
They all have admin costs. That’s unavoidable. It when the president makes a quarter of a million bucks or more that I lose faith that the money goes to a stated cause. But we have a unique situation we’re a group of us can help an individual or family directly. So far everyone I’ve heard from is ok. I’ll let everyone know otherwise if I hear it.
Thank you for this video. We live here in Pennsylvania but our son lives in North Hollywood. Its hard worrying about his safety each day but I appreciate your thoughts and efforts for those affected.
So Cal resident and I found you guys about 2 years ago. I'm originally from MD and was there last week with a trip planned to Gettysburg that got cancelled by the snow. The fires started two days before I flew home and when I returned I was shocked. My immediate area is unscathed but I have a couple friends and colleagues that lost everything.....I thank you for all the hard work you and your team put into each episode. As an American (and more specifically as a black man), each episode enlightens me while at the same time reminding me that no matter how bad things may seem for us now, our ancestors had it much worse. Thanks again and all the best in 2025!
I can’t imagine the destruction. I’m glued to RUclips watching videos of the whole hung. It’s incomprehensible to me. All those homes and businesses, all that history. Such a sad thing. It my pleasure to do the work for as long as you all still want to listen. Let us know when you make it back to Gettysburg and you can come by the studio. Take care.

Sure thing. How is he?
You’re a good egg, Matt!
I appreciate this video Matt. This is Ryan from SoCal. We appreciate all the thoughts and prayers for our community.
Let us know how we can get the word out for something.

@addressinggettysburg WOW! Thank you for the offer to visit. I will definitely take you up on that. All the best for you guys in 2025
I'm in San Diego, and what is happening to our north is tragic.
I can’t believe how large a swath it’s cutting. Awful stuff
