Mandy Moore clarified why she shared a GoFundMe campaign in support of her brother-in-law’s family following wildfire devastation.
Griff and Kit [Goldsmith] lost their home and everything they own in the Eaton Fire,” Moore, 40, wrote via Instagram on Thursday, January 9. “With their first baby on the way in a matter of weeks, they need our support now more than ever.”
She added, “Please consider donating and sharing to help them rebuild.”

“[For] people questioning whether we’re helping out our own family or attributing some arbitrary amount of money Google says someone has is NOT helpful or empathetic,” Moore continued in her social media message. “Of course we are. Our buddy Matt started this GoFundMe and I’m sharing because people have asked how they can help them.”
This Is Us alum further reminded social media critics that “no one is forcing you to do anything” before issuing another reminder.

Moore and Taylor’s home — where they raise their three children — had also been destroyed in the Pacific Palisades wildfire earlier this week. After visiting the remains earlier on Thursday, Moore detailed in another Instagram post that they learned the “main part” of the residence was still standing but “not livable.” Taylor and Griff’s studio, where they record music for their band Dawes, was also destroyed along with their instruments and equipment.
“Griff is a touring musician and also lost his entire arsenal of drums/percussion he uses to make a living,” Moore explained in her upload. “It’s all so much.”
