Maui Fire Survivors – Direct Support for Families with Injury and Loss

In the wake of the devastating fire that burned through Maui, surviving families are left grappling with the aftermath. Many have not only lost their homes, but their loved ones inside. School closures left many children at home while parents worked, all without warning of the coming devastation. The fire swept through thousands of homes, leaving hundreds of families separated with injured, missing, and deceased loved ones. The number of deaths is now over 100 while over 1,000 remain unaccounted for. The tragedy has left families in need of financial support, so I made this campaign on my website here to raise money for these families as I go from door to door in my neighborhood of Saratoga.

❤️ Why Your Support Matters

We are launching this crowdfunding campaign with a single, heartfelt purpose: to provide direct financial assistance to the families most affected by this tragedy. Every dollar you donate goes directly into the hands of survivors who need it most. Your contributions provide immediate cash assistance for:

Medical and Funeral Expenses: Many victims sustained injuries during the wildfire and the subsequent evacuation. From burns to respiratory issues, their road to recovery involves significant medical costs, while families also face the heartbreaking expense of laying their loved ones to rest.

Essential Living Needs: With their homes and livelihoods gone, families are struggling to afford basic necessities like food, temporary shelter, clothing, and other daily essentials while they work to rebuild their lives.

💪 Every Dollar Goes Directly to Families

As with any disaster, the true spirit of humanity shines through in how we come together to support one another. By contributing, you’re not just donating money; you’re putting cash directly into the hands of families who need it most. Your donation provides immediate relief that families can use however they need most urgently:

  • $10 can help a family purchase a meal or basic supplies.
  • $25 can contribute to a family’s immediate needs for hygiene items or clothing.
  • $50 can help cover transportation costs or temporary accommodation.
  • $100 can provide significant direct support for medical expenses or essential living costs.
  • $250 can offer substantial assistance to help a family through their most urgent financial needs.

🙏 Join Us in Direct Support

With the search and cleanup still underway, survivors need immediate financial help. Our goal is to raise $2,000 to provide direct cash assistance to the families most in need. By putting money directly into the hands of affected families, we ensure that help reaches those who need it most, when they need it most. Together, we can provide immediate relief to our Ohana in Hawaii during this crisis.
