<div><strong>We are currently fundraising in response to Hurricanes Lala and Lowell. We are also working closely with Hawaiʻi Mutual Aid Network to provide direct relief to individuals and families impacted.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Hawaiʻi Mutual Aid Network is a locally based, volunteer run organization built around the belief that communities are often best positioned to identify who needs help. For Lala Relief, they are working with community members and partners across Hawaiʻi to identify and verify fundraisers for people directly impacted by the storm.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Donations raised through this fund will be granted directly to verified people experiencing loss and hardship as a result of Hurricanes Lala and Lowell.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Devastating hurricanes have become all-too-frequent occurrences in the United States, with vulnerable communities often bearing the burden of the worst impact. Each year, hundreds of people create fundraisers on the GoFundMe platform asking for help in the wake of a destructive hurricane.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fund was created to provide direct relief to people in need after a hurricane. Your tax-deductible donation will ensure this fund can support as many people as possible as soon as a disaster strikes. We send critical cash grants directly to people who need help within 24 hours following a hurricane.

<div><strong>Current Need</strong>
</div>
<div>August 2026: Hurricane Lala has caused widespread power outages and homes have been swept away. Donations raised will be granted directly to those affected. We are collaborating with Hawaii Mutual Aid to identify verified people impacted.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Who We Help</strong>
</div>
<div>We deliver cash grants directly to those impacted by hurricanes in the United States, including all states and territories. We grant to verified individuals who qualify and are fundraising for themselves or on behalf of someone else. We may also provide grants to fundraisers benefiting small businesses and community relief efforts, or to vetted nonprofits coordinating long-term recovery. Grants are unrestricted, providing dignity and autonomy for grantees to meet their personal urgent relief needs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why donate to this fund?</strong>
