How to help the victims in Nice, France
More than 80 people were killed late Thursday when a truck plowed through a crowd of revelers in Nice, France, who had gathered to watch fireworks on the nation's Bastille Day.
Here are ways you can help victims:
• A GoFundMe campaign has been set up for the two Americans killed in the attack, Sean Copeland, 51, and his son Brodie, 11, of Texas. According to the campaign's page, the father-son pair were on a European vacation that began in Spain before moving to the south of France. "Brody was cooling off in the waters of the Riviera just hours before he joined hundreds of spectators on the Promenade des Anglais to watch fireworks for France’s national holiday, according to a Facebook post," the page says.
• The French Red Cross, which set up two reception centers near the scene of the incident, is providing support to survivors and bereaved family members and friends. The organization is soliciting donations and says funds will be used to support French Red Cross emergency preparedness, response and relief teams.
• Give for France, a fundraising campaign started after the November terror attacks in Paris by the Fondation de France, France’s largest philanthropy network, is seeking donations. The campaign says the money will go toward direct assistance to families and subsidies for associations supporting victims. The U.S. version of the campaign, Friends of Fondation de France, is also soliciting donations.
• The United Nations sponsors a Support Portal for victims of terrorism across the globe. The website includes a list of government efforts, a directory of organizations and resources for victims and information about terrorist attacks.
