Aloha family & friends - my name is Kira Arnise and I am raising relief funds to help my family on Maui recover from the recent tragedy that has affected so many. My cousin Shay and her beautiful family of 7 — including 6 keiki (kids) ranging from ages 2-18 — have lost their entire home and all of their worldly possessions due to the fires in Lahaina, Maui.

All funds raised will be sent directly to my family to help them through this time, especially with school starting this week. The money will help with food, shelter, clothing, supplies, diapers + more. If you may be in a place to contribute — no matter how big or small — it would mean the world to us.

On behalf of my entire family and I, thank you for your generosity, love and support and for keeping the island of Maui in your thoughts and prayers.

We know there are so many other people/families devasted by the fires who need help. If you're not able to donate here, please find a way to help those affected.
