Donate to help families affected by fires in Maui

Aloha friends,

My name is Rajeev Vachani, I live in up-country Maui. I am asking for your help in raising funds for friends, families, and locals who have been severely affected by the Maui fires.

Our island home of Maui has been devastated by raging wildfires that have destroyed homes, businesses, and lives. Families like my good friend Chappi, a Lahaina resident who lost everything he owned after decades of living in the same home, are now displaced and struggling. Heidi, a medical professional who has served Maui locals for the past 7 years, watched the news helplessly as her Aina Nalu condo erupted into flames, and her belongings turned to ashes in minutes. Several of Heidi's colleagues in the medical field also lost their homes. Hala, a good friend, and a long-time police officer who has served in the Maui police force watched his Ohana go up in flames while he just barely saved his main house. They are just a few of the over 1000 people who have lost their homes and belongings.

Our communities are crippled but not broken. Now is the time to come together and lift each other up. We are raising funds to provide urgent support and relief to all affected by these devastating wildfires. Every dollar raised will go directly to helping families recover and rebuild, with full transparency and audit records.

Please open your hearts and give what you can to help us reach our goal of $100,000. These funds will assist with temporary housing, food, clothing, and other basic necessities. Your donation, no matter how small, will make a tangible difference in helping wildfire victims get back on their feet.

Though the road ahead is long, our island spirit remains strong. Together, with love, generosity, and aloha, we will overcome this tragedy. Mahalo nui loa for your kokua.
