In the chaos of the Los Angeles wildfires, one teen wanted to make it easy for everyone to find information in one place: a website called save-la.org. “I wanted to make it so if you wanted to help or if you needed help, it could all be in one website, a one-stop shop,” said Ruben Varghese, a 16-year-old who lives in South Bay, Los Angeles. The website is in six sections: cash donations, supply donations and drop-off locations, volunteer opportunities, safe shelter options, financial assistance, and food banks. The volunteer resource guide includes food and supply centers looking for volunteers, animal shelters looking for temporary foster parents, and opportunities to host wildfire victims who are temporarily homeless.
