LA Fire Emergency Fund

The LA Fire Emergency Fund is a temporary program designed to address the urgent needs of our CF community during the ongoing fires in Los Angeles. This fund provides support to individuals and families living with cystic fibrosis, helping cover the costs of essentials such as food, temporary lodging, air purifiers, and other critical supplies during this crisis.

Oscar nominee Sebastian Stan, a dedicated supporter of Claire's Place Foundation, made the first generous donation to kick off this lifesaving initiative. Joining him in contributing to the cause is White Lotus star Haley Lu Richardson and other esteemed members of the Hollywood community. Their donations highlight the impact of collective action in safeguarding the most vulnerable during this crisis.

Care. Recovery. Hope.

Due to the devastating LA fires, many members of the CF community are facing severe financial strain and increased health risks.

We’ve launched the **LA Fire Emergency Fund** to provide critical financial support for CF families, helping them access essential items such as air purifiers, food, and temporary lodging. This initiative empowers our community to protect their health and live proudly, even in the face of unprecedented challenges.
