Fonds d'aide aux victimes de la vallée de Conejo

The first two rounds of support to the victims and survivors of the Borderline shooting have been distributed. VCCF awarded an immediate $70,000 in $500 pre-paid Visa cash cards so immediate basic needs could be met through the Thousand Oaks Victims Assistance Center.

VCCF also awarded a total of $240,000 to help cover memorial costs to families who lost loved ones. Chief of Police Tim Hagel personally delivered the funds to the families during this devastating time.

Nous sommes particulièrement intéressés par le soutien aux organisations qui aident au logement et aux besoins de base, au bien-être des animaux, au soutien des entreprises et à la résilience de notre communauté, ainsi qu'aux besoins médicaux des personnes suite aux incendies. Le formulaire de demande est très court et ne devrait pas prendre plus de 15 minutes à soumettre à l'adresse suivante www.vccf.org.

Comment vous pouvez faire la différence

Demandes de soutien : Les incendies de forêt massifs qui provoquent de graves déplacements rendent difficile la mise en relation et l'aide aux victimes des incendies. Bien que nous ayons reçu quelques demandes d'aide de la part d'organisations, la FEMA n'a reçu qu'un nombre modeste de demandes d'aide directe aux victimes des incendies. Nous encourageons les personnes touchées par les incendies à déposer une demande auprès de la FEMA dès que possible et à ouvrir un dossier auprès de 2-1-1, qui peut aider à mettre les ressources à la disposition de ceux qui en ont besoin.

Fundraising for the Conejo Valley Victims Fund: VCCF is in the final stages of raising funds to support the families of victims and survivors of the Borderline shooting. We are working with Ken Feinberg, Special Master of the US Government’s September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, who has volunteered to help advise us during this time. Please encourage all you know to donate now and offer support to those impacted by this tragic event at www.vccf.org.
