When Amanda Balionis shared a heartwarming gesture by helping out lives impacted by the disastrous Los Angeles fires

Back in January, Los Angeles and California experienced what could only be visualised in nightmares till then. According to the Government of California, the fire damaged more than 23,000 acres of land, leaving behind a harsh footprint across the Pacific Palisades.

After starting a fundraiser for the endangered lives in the Los Angeles wildfires, her first update provided hope. In a video, she stated how her Foundation is funding animal shelters like "Amazing Strays Rescue" and "Pasadena Humane". Take a look:
