Mandy Moore is responding to critics who criticized her for sharing her family’s GoFundMe

“Yesterday, my brother-in-law and sister-in-law Griff and Kate lost their home and everything they owned in the Eaton Fire,” Moore wrote. “With their first child due to arrive in a matter of weeks, they need our support now more than ever,” she added.

The Candy hitmaker went on to explain, “Griff is a touring musician who also lost his entire arsenal of drums/beats that he uses to make a living.” Emphasizing the seriousness of the situation, Moore continued, “It’s all too much.” “Many have asked how to help during this unimaginably difficult time… Please consider making a donation and getting involved to help them rebuild,” she added.

“The link is in the bio and all the love…” Moore continued before adding a note to her critics. “And people question whether we’re helping our families or crediting some arbitrary amount of money that Google says someone isn’t helpful or compassionate,” the Walk to Remember star said.

“Of course we are. Our friend Matt started this by funding me and I’m participating because people asked how they could help. We lost most of our lives in a fire too,” Moore added before concluding. “No one’s forcing you to do anything.”
