Chloe added that she wanted to start the fundraising campaign to help alleviate confusion as so how people can help.
‘I know that it is extremely overwhelming, there are so many charities, theres so many GoFundMes…and I really wanted to create one place in which you can trust to donate funds and know that they are going to go to the right people,’ she said.
Continuing her post, Chloe said money collected through her campaign would be distributed directly to those in need.
‘I’ll be collecting funds and I will be distributing them personally to two different areas – one will be to GoFundMe.org and these guys will be distributing cash grants to those in need.’
Chloe added that her second focus would be assisting animals and wildlife but added that she was still researching the best channel to distribute the money through.
‘Given that this is extremely current, I wanted to get this fundraiser up immediately so i can start collecting money,’ she said.
‘But in the coming days, I’m going to be researching exactly where I’ll be sending the money for the animals and wildlife.’
Chloe was adamant that she would be completely transparent ent about her fundraising drive.
