The former AT&T spokesperson backed the Altadena organization My Tribe Rise, which provided assistance to other wildfire victims, both financially and in other ways.

Vayntrub, who operates her own platform, Only Philanthropy, shared the success of her initiative on Instagram, stating, “We’ve raised over half a million dollars together this year. Now let’s grow this into something bigger, stranger, more powerful, with more creators jumping in.”

“I had this full on crazy idea for an experiment,” Vayntrub elaborated, describing how she conceived the “ridiculous” notion to assist individuals impacted by the wildfires in Los Angeles earlier this year.

Supporters commended her genuine endeavors in the comments area. One supporter called her move an excellent initiative, while another said, “We need more wonderful people like you in this world.”
