Eva Longoria is making a significant donation to wildfire relief efforts in Los Angeles.
The actress accepted the honor of assisting individuals affected by the tragic wildfires in Los Angeles, giving a significant seven-figure gift.
The actress and her charity have given $1 million to help wildfire victims, using funds from the $50 million Jeff Bezos Courage and Civility Award she won earlier this year.
Longoria, who received the coveted honor in March, has a decade to devote the riches to good causes. She’s already putting the money to good use, with this substantial donation focused at assisting individuals affected by the fires.
The California Community Foundation and Julian Castro’s Latino Community Foundation will receive the grant, which will be used to address the families who have lost everything in the short and long term.
Los Angeles has been devastated by the flames, which have destroyed over 12,000 buildings and forced hundreds of people to relocate, including the Palisades and Eaton fires. Given the extent of the injury, any help is essential to the healing process.
Longoria’s gift is a part of a larger trend of celebrities supporting humanitarian efforts. Beyoncé, Paris Hilton, Anthony Davis, and Jason Oppenheim are a few of those who have contributed their resources to support the affected communities during this trying time.
