"When disasters happen, it’s easy to turn away. We scroll on our phones and say, “Wow, that’s horrible…” and then carry on with our days. We distract ourselves because it’s too overwhelming to think about what’s happening.
Please don’t turn away, because this is a moment when we all need to turn towards our friends in Hawaii and do our part to help. This is an opportunity to be a hero for someone in need" Rachel Rogers
This is the official County of Maui government website. They recommend donating to Maui Strong and Maui United Way. Please give to trusted organizations and avoid fundraising scams which sadly tend to show up during times of crisis.
