Oh boy! What Los Angeles is going through right now is almost unimaginable. Over 1,000 buildings were destroyed, and more than 15,800 acres of land have been reduced to ashes. In a matter of days, over 150,000 people have been forced to leave their homes and run for their lives. Anyone who comes across those devastating videos from LA wildfires would instantly break down. And let’s just say Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend Kayla Nicole is one of those people who couldn’t control her emotions seeing the condition of LA.

On Thursday, Kayla Nicole gave us her raw and emotional reaction to witnessing her city burn. When she had to leave her home for some food at a nearby restaurant, Nicole shared an Instagram story where she started having an emotional breakdown, “Oh my god, y’ll. Can I just be honest for a second? I just pulled over to get some food in this restaurant. Had to take my food to go because I started just crying uncontrollably, which is very on brand for me.” Like there’s nothing to be ashamed of, Nicole.

What’s going on in LA right now is just too much for anyone to digest, as Travis Kelce’s ex-gf continued, “I’ve said it once. I’ve said it again. I’m an empath through and through. I feel things so deeply, and the state of my city right now.” She then went on to spill a personal connection, citing some of her family members could also be victims of the devasting LA fires, “I have family members that are displaced. I have people in my life whose homes are in danger. I know people directly whose homes have burned down.”

Well, Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend didn’t just express her thoughts, summing up the situation in LA from her car. In her next story, she started praying for all those affected by the deadly wildfires, “I’m praying for the protection of my city. I’m praying for the safety of my loved ones, my neighbors, and for all the people whose lives have been turned upside down by this.” Nicole paves the way for everyone to start praying and urges others to keep LA wildfire victims in their prayers.

Seeing her so vulnerable in front of her millions of followers shows how much pain she must have been experiencing right now. Well, there’s some positive news for Kayla Nicole and her LA family. Thanks to the Los Angeles Chargers, help is already on its way. They have announced a $200,000 relief fund for all those affected by Pacific Palisades wildfires.

Jim Harbaugh’s Chargers step up to save their LA community

The Los Angeles Chargers have shown what their community truly means to them. The Bolts have just decided to donate a whopping sum of $200,000 directly to the American Red Cross, LA Fire Department Foundation, Team Rubicon, and pet rescuers. This initiative will help those firefighters who desperately need all the help they can get. Besides them, the first responders and those animal rescue shelters will receive an equal amount from the Chargers donation.

Their chairman of the Board, Dean Spanos, released a statement praising all the bravery of his community at such a tough time: “The bravery, selflessness, courage, sacrifice, and compassion on display over the past 24 hours by first responders, good Samaritans, friends, family, and neighbors alike have been remarkable.” Now, the Chargers aren’t just donating money. They have urged their fans, who are attending the ‘Charge Up to Playoff’ event, to bring supplies for evacuation centers.

From bottled water blankets to first aid kits and portable chargers, anything to help the victims dislocated. Seeing how the Bolts community has responded to their own paints a lovely picture, to say the least. And we hope not just the Chargers but the whole NFL community comes together in this tough time. To help Southern California slowly come back into their normal lives. While we know it will take time. But hey, every effort and donation right now matters.
