00:00Guys, I don't even know what all of this stuff means,
00:03but it's signed for her.
00:06Is that a thing?
00:07The lunchbox thing?
00:08I don't know.
00:09This is when I feel really old.
00:10Megan Markle is helping a family recover
00:12after losing their home in the L.A. wildfires.
00:15On February 4th, the Duchess of Sussex
00:17shared in an Instagram post
00:19that she teamed up with Grammy winner Billie Eilish
00:21to help a mom and her 15-year-old daughter
00:23recover some of their memories lost in the fires.
00:27About two or three weeks ago,
00:28when my husband and I were in Altadena,
00:31we went to a community
00:35where all the homes were left in ashes.
00:38This mom had found a couple things,
00:41and as I was talking to her,
00:42I turned and looked and I saw this young woman,
00:44and I said, oh my gosh, how old are you?
00:47She's 15.
00:48She lives there.
00:49And her mom shared something with me
00:51and said that when they came back
00:54to see their house for the first time,
00:55which is as we were meeting them,
00:57that all that she'd been looking for in her home
01:01was the T-shirt from the Billie Eilish concert
01:04that she had just gone to
01:06that she left in the washing machine or the dryer.
01:09And of course, they now see their home
01:11in the washing machine and the dryer are ash.
01:12They're not there anymore.
01:14Megan goes on to share
01:15that while she did not know Billie personally,
01:17she would do everything in her power
01:19to get the message to the singer.
01:21And so I said, well, I don't know Billie Eilish,
01:22but I'm gonna figure out how to get you this shirt.
01:24So I thought of everybody that I knew,
01:26and I made a voice note and I was like,
01:28please can someone get this voice note to Billie Eilish?
01:30Here's what I'm asking.
01:32You guys, I don't even know what all this stuff means,
01:35but it's signed for her.
01:38Is that a thing, the lunchbox thing?
01:40I don't know.
01:41This is when I feel really old.
01:42And as for the person that came to the rescue,
01:44well, that would be Maroon 5 lead singer, Adam Levine,
01:47and his wife, Vahati.
01:49Huge thank you, Billie Eilish.
01:51This is going to mean so much to her.
01:52And honestly, to Adam Levine and Vahati,
01:56you guys helped get this over the line.
01:58To everyone who's showing up for people
01:59in big and small ways to get through
02:02what's happened in California, just thank you so much.
02:06I'm gonna go and email her mom now.
02:08Just wanted to share that with you guys.
02:10In recent days, Megan and her husband, Prince Harry,
02:12who live about 90 miles north of Los Angeles,
02:15have been paying a visit to those
02:16in the Southern California city
02:18that have been impacted by the fires.
02:20Additionally, the couple has been sharing resources
02:23on their website and encouraging others
02:25to help in any way they can, writing,
02:27if a friend, loved one, or pet has to evacuate
02:31and you are able to offer them a safe haven in your home,
02:33please do.
02:34Some families and people have been left with nothing.
02:37Please consider donating clothing,
02:39children's toys and clothing, and other essentials.
