Yesterday, the Sussexes released a statement, expressing their concern for those who have been impacted by the wildfires, offering resources and tips to those who may be in a position to help.

“A state of emergency has been issued. If you feel compelled to help, here are some resources and ideas.”

The statement continued with a three-prong plan on how to help those who may be in a vulnerable position:
