Emergency Relief for Ruidoso Wildfire Victims

Tax deductible
We urgently need your support to aid the victims of the devastating wildfires in Ruidoso, NM. My name is Johnny James and I’ve lived in New Mexico my whole life, along with my entire family. I’m a musician, entertainer, and creator. We don’t often have a lot of people speaking up for New Mexico, and I want to use my platform to reach as many people as possible so we can help families and communities affected by the fires.

The Situation: Ruidoso, NM is facing unprecedented wildfires that have already claimed at least one life, displaced thousands of families, and destroyed homes. The urgency of this situation cannot be overstated, and immediate action is crucial to support those affected.

How You Can Help: We are mobilizing funds to address the most pressing needs of the evacuees. Your donation will be tax-deductible through GoFundMe.org, and will support community relief efforts and enable grants to individuals impacted to help them purchase their immediate relief needs such as (but not limited to):

  • Emergency shelter: Providing hotel rooms for displaced families.
  • Food and water: Ensuring those in need have enough to eat and drink.
  • Transportation and gas: Facilitating evacuations and essential travel.

We are working closely with local authorities to ensure transparency and accountability. Your contribution will be utilized quickly and effectively to provide relief directly to those suffering from this disaster and to verified non-profit organizations providing relief. We are committed to transparency and will provide updates on the allocation of funds and the impact of your generosity.

Together, we can make a meaningful impact in the lives of the families affected by these tragic events. Every donation counts, and every share of this fundraiser helps amplify our efforts.
