Hanks, Wilson Donate $1M for Wildfire Relief

Actors Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson have announced a $1 million donation to support relief efforts following the devastating Los Angeles County wildfires. Their contribution is being distributed among five organizations: the Motion Picture and Television Fund, the Los Angeles Fire Foundation, the SAG-AFTRA Foundation Disaster Relief Fund, the American Red Cross, and MusiCares. The couple expressed deep gratitude to first responders and firefighters who worked tirelessly to save homes and lives during the fires, which severely impacted areas like Altadena and Pacific Palisades. Though their own home was spared, the fires have destroyed many residences of notable figures, highlighting the urgent need for community support. Hanks and Wilson's donation is part of a larger wave of celebrity contributions, with artists like Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, and Leonardo DiCaprio also supporting the cause. They have encouraged others to contribute, emphasizing that every donation helps the recovery efforts.
