The cities of El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, are reeling from mass shootings that have left 31 people dead. In El Paso on Saturday, a gunman opened fire at a Walmart and killed 22 people and injured 22 others. Less than a day later, nine people were killed and 27 others were injured when a gunman opened fire in a historic nightlife district in Dayton.

Many of the wounded are still recovering and the families of those who lost loved ones are remembering them in vigils and community events.

Here are some ways to help the victims.

“My mom and my daughter wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for him and what he did and I couldn’t even imagine, my daughter, I almost lost her,” Melendez said.

Another GoFundMe has been set up for Jessica Garcia, who was rescued by Ray Garcia, a man who raced to the scene to pull several people to safety.

In addition, there is a GoFundMe for the families of Andre and Jordan Anchondo. They were killed shielding their 2-month-old baby.
