Looking over the destruction left by the Los Angeles wildfires, it appeared that the fires claimed the lives of 24 people as they swept through 40,000 acres. Covering an area larger than San Francisco, the fires also destroyed over 12,000 structures. Over the last few weeks, images and video surfaced on social media, showing the aftermath of Los Angeles. With the government sending medical aid to the area, many Americans banded together to help residents start rebuilding their lives. And one of those people was Stapleton.
Back in 2016, Morgane and Stapleton decided to create the Outlaw State of Kind. Over the following years, the organization donated millions to numerous charities. Always looking for ways to give back, Outlaw State of Kind wrote on Instagram, “Outlaw State of Kind has donated $1 million to support national and local organizations providing wildfire relief in Los Angeles. Join us in supporting however you can.”
