Our hearts goes out to everyone impacted by the devastation on Maui. The pictures and stories are truly heartbreaking and we are sending our aloha and prayers to our Maui ʻOhana.
Our thoughts are with our friends, family and colleagues on Hawaiʻi Island and Maui who have been impacted by Hurricane Dora and the fires.
As the tragedy on Maui unfolds and losses increase, we are all looking for ways to support and help our friends and colleagues on the ground. At this time, financial donations seem to be the best way to give.
Our friends and colleagues at Hospice Maui have created a fund for disaster assistance to provide crucial support and relief efforts in the aftermath of the devastating wildfires.
The funds raised will play a vital role in providing essential medical supplies, bolstering clinical teams, and offering trauma counseling services. Moreover, the donations will also assist in providing much-needed support to those who have been displaced as a result of this tragic event. For further information on how to donate (and photos of the team) visit:

- Note: Kōkua is the Hawaiian word for help, aid or assistance. Please make sure you use the fold out menu ʻApply my gift toʻ and chose the ʻHospice Maui Kokua Fundʻ.
Based on our member feedback we also recommended the following organizations to receive donations to help with wildfire recovery:
- The Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement Kākoʻo Maui
- The Hawaii Community Foundation the Maui Strong Fund
