Tens of thousands donated to FireAid expecting help for California wildfire victims. Instead $100 million vanished into non-profits run by coastal elites. The concert showcasing stars like Lady Gaga promised direct aid to burned-out families. But now victims demand answers about this bureaucratic mess.
Huge donor cheese insulated us christens went to groups like animal sancuaries—not homeowners. As much as $6.5 million even went to LA County government agencies. A GOP congressman wants a federal investigation, calling this a “classic example of elites controlling your money.”
FireAid Southern donors Southern pfelt promised quick relief when they forked over cash. Months later, displaced families still struggle to rebuild while non-profits enjoy the windfall. This stinks like the same swamp politics that makes people hate Washington.
The Annenberg Foundation organized the event but claims no role in spending decisions. Their handpicked committee–filled with NBA owners and media execs–decides where the cash goes. Why trust philanthropic elites when they won’t even tell us how they spend our money?
Some non-profits say they used the funds well, like feeding survivors or saving pets. But victims don’t care about animal shelters—they need roofs over their heads. What about the single mom who lost her kids’ toys to flames? Does she get a dime?
Rep. Kevin Kiley called for DOJ to probe FireAid’s finances. Donors deserve proof their money didn’t get siphoned off by woke groups pushing environmental agendas. The left loves transferring our hard-earned cash to their allies while pretending to care about ordinary people.
Fire victims aren’t anti-nonprofit—they’re against being lied to. When you donate to help someone’s destroyed home, you expect real help, not virtue signaling. This scandal shows how bureaucracy always puts itself first.
Real accountability means putting citizens before cronies. If every dollar went to actual wildfire victims instead of leftist groups, families would rebuild faster. This mess proves why conservatives fight for transparent charity—not this top-down scam.
