In early January 2025, Los Angeles was ravaged by devastating wildfires, leaving thousands homeless and causing widespread destruction. Among the affected was actress Mandy Moore, whose own home in Altadena was partially destroyed. Despite the personal loss, Moore's resilience shone through as she focused on supporting her community and loved ones.

In the wake of the fires, Moore shared a GoFundMe campaign on her Instagram, aiming to assist her brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Griff and Kit, who had lost their home and belongings. She wrote, "With their first baby on the way in a matter of weeks, they need our support now more than ever." The campaign sought to raise funds to help the couple rebuild their lives.
