In 2023, the beautiful island of Maui experienced devastating wildfires that is considered the most deadliest and destructive in modern US history. Many families and individuals lost loved ones, their homes, and all of their belongings. The entire town of Lahaina, a historic town and the former capital of the Kingdom of Hawai’i, was completely destroyed. If you are feeling called to support the recovery and relief efforts, please see links below to donate directly to families who were directly impacted (and vetted by the local community) as well as the Hawai’i Community Foundation - a local foundation that is supporting impacted communities through the Maui Strong Fund. The recovery and relief efforts are estimated to be over $5 billion dollars, so EVERY dollar that is donated counts. Mahalo nui loa.
