DELRAY BEACH, Fla. — Rachel Kovalsky, a Delray Beach local, is stepping up to help victims of the Los Angeles wildfires.

With the help of her friend Phen Jof, Kovalsky started a collection of goods, clothing and toiletries over the last weeks.

Kolvasky says a friend in Los Angeles will help distribute the items.

Kolvasky’s efforts first started weeks ago, when she shared a post on social media asking for transportation assistance.

Just days later, the community contributed to the efforts and eventually donated her a moving truck.

The truck is currently on the way to California and the donations should arrive to several victims by the end of the week.
