Donations are pouring in from San Diegans looking to support those impacted by the Los Angeles wildfires.

Whether it’s monetary donations, or volunteering your time, there's a lot you can do to help those impacted. But it's important to consider what's actually helpful for survivors, and what's not.

On Midday Edition Tuesday, we hear a personal perspective from a survivor of the 2003 Cedar Fire in San Diego.

Then, we hear from a local animal center supporting people and their pets affected by the fires.

Guests:

• Sandra Younger, author of "The Fire Outside My Window" and survivor of the 2003 Cedar Fire
• Jessica Gercke, public relations director for the Helen Woodward Animal Center
