This image is harrowing. Imagine the pain and heartache in their souls.. breathing awfully.. not even able to see. And then to top, out of breath and racing against the clock as the hurricane-force winds continue to blind them with smoke and haze...

HERE IS HOW YOU CAN HELP:

United Way chapters in both Los Angeles and Ventura counties have established fire relief funds for communities hit by the blazes. Donations can be made online at the links above.

The Red Cross, which is operating multiple evacuation centers in LA County, is accepting donations through its website or by text. To make a contribution, text REDCROSS to 90999.

The Salvation Army, now providing food and supplies to evacuees in Ventura County, is also requesting donations, which can be made online or by phone (1 800 SAL ARMY).
