Ellen used her show to announce that her GoFundMe campaign will seek to raise $5 million for the Australian Red Cross, the humanitarian aid and community services charity, plus WIRES, Australia’s largest wildlife rescue organization. “I love Australia. I love Australia so much, I even married an Australian,” she told her audience. “Right now, Australia needs our help. Wildfires have been burning for four months and with record-breaking heat.”
