AHA Students Who Lost Homes in Maui Fires

I’m Stormy Solis, photographer and educator at All Heart Access. I’m also a former Oahu resident, so am deeply aware of limited island resources & how hard it is even in a non-emergency situation to make ends meet on an island (especially on a photographers income). Three of my students ( Kristina Kokoczka, Seanna Clark & Tawni Katayama) have lost their homes in the Maui fires & I’m raising funds to help them buy new camera gear so they can work, food, clothing, and basic living supplies while displaced. I’m planning to evenly disburse funds raised between them and any future All Heart students that I become aware of having lost homes in this fire & will be asking each to provide their mailing addresses once communication is back up again so I can mail them all their checks or Venmo them if they prefer.

** EDITED TO ADD: This is my first time hosting a GoFundMe, so I didn’t realize that you can’t directly automate sending funds between receipts (meaning more than one person). So I will be collecting the funds personally & asking my students for their mailing addresses so I can write them checks in order to divide all of the funds collected for them equally.
