\n\tThe devastating wildfires that ripped through Los Angeles last month destroyed thousands of homes, taking with them countless memories and precious possessions gathered over a lifetime. While it will take years to rebuild and begin to replace some of the things lost in two of the most destructive blazes to ever hit the city, there are small acts of kindness happening every day aimed at helping to ease the pain of all that unimaginable loss.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tHow to Help Those Impacted by the L.A. Wildfires\u00a0(Updating)\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\n\tThis week the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, revealed that she\u2019d teamed up with Billie Eilish<\/a> to create one of those moments. In an Instagram post on Tuesday (Feb. 4), actress\/podcaster Markle described how she reached out to the \u201cBirds of a Feather\u201d singer to help a 15-year-old whose family lost everything in the fires.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI was just told that something arrived that I have been waiting for,\u201d Markle said in a selfie video. \u201cOh my God,\u201d she added as she looked at a big pile of Eilish merch. She explained that a few weeks ago, she and Prince Harry visited Altadena \u2014 the historic neighborhood that was completely wiped out by one of the fires \u2014 and they spoke to a mom who had found just a few possessions left in the rubble.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile speaking to her, she saw the woman\u2019s teen daughter and found out that when they came back to look at their house for the first time, all the girl was looking for was her prized T-shirt from an Eilish concert she\u2019d recently gone to. The teen said she\u2019d left it in the washing machine as they fled. \u201cAnd of course they now see their home and the washing machine [and] the dryer are ash\u2026 they\u2019re not there anymore,\u201d said Markle.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile she admitted she didn\u2019t personally know Eilish, Markle promised the family that she\u2019d figure out a way to replace the beloved shirt. \u201cSo I thought of everybody that I knew and I made a voice note and I was like, \u2018Please, can someone get this voice note to Billie Eilish? Here\u2019s what I\u2019m asking,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\n\tMarkle did what any sensible person would in that situation, she reached out to Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine and his wife, model Behati Prinsloo, for some help getting this make-a-wish \u201cover the line.\u201d Getting emotional, Markle flipped through the pile T-shirts and vinyl \u2014 \u201cI don\u2019t even know what all this stuff means, but it\u2019s signed for her!\u201d \u2014 holding up a lunch box with a gold star on it and asking, \u201cIs that a thing? A lunch box thing?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tShe sent a huge thank you to Levine, Prinsloo and Eilish for pitching in. \u201cThis is going to mean so much to her,\u201d Markle added. \u201cTo everyone who is showing up for people in big and small ways to get through what\u2019s happened in California.\u00a0Just thank you so much. I\u2019m going to go and email her mom now. Just wanted to share that with you guys.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tNative Angeleno Eilish performed at last weekend\u2019s FireAid concert that raised an estimated $100 million for relief<\/a>, opening the show with a Green Day collaboration and then returning later for her own set. The Eaton and Palisades fires, which killed 29 people and destroyed more than 16,000 homes and structures, reached 100% containment last week.<\/p>\n
