This is VERY important for anyone you know affected by the Los Angeles fires who is currently raising funds on GoFundMe:
FEMA does not cover expenses already paid for by other sources. So be careful with how you word your fundraisers—this has affected people who survived other natural disasters.
- cloth/surgical masks and masks that are not properly fitted will not filter out fine particulates in the air.
- the clean air measurement thing doesn't account for toxic substances that arent normally present. arsenic, asbestos, lead, and more are in the air right now.
My thoughts exactly... isn't Go Fund Me the domain of the desperate... not a place where you have to be worried about wording wrecking your chances of getting other money 😳
