Resources for helping Lahaina after devastating fires

I created this project to help others, and while I wish there was more that I could do, donating and sharing is the best I can in this time of devastation for Maui. 

If you can spare even just $5 to any of these charities, it’ll go a long way towards supporting these displaced families and the rebuild of Lahaina.  Every penny counts.

Locals are also urging that tourists cancel their trips to any Hawaiian Islands at this time to conserve essential resources, like water and rooms in hotels, for those who need it most right now.
