[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 764053, member: 19522"] Aloha Crayola, Mahalo nui for asking. I am not on Maui, but we are all deeply affected by the tragedy of the wildfires. The news is not showing the amount of devastation, fires are still burning in the mountain areas, and folks are just overwhelmed with the loss of life and property as well as the many souls still unaccounted for. Residents are asking that people hold off on vacation plans to the islands as the resources are needed to aid those who have lost everything. There are many drives to get supplies into Maui to help, but coordinating efforts has been difficult as roads have been closed to the west side. Folks are now being encouraged to gift monetary donations so that the right amount of resources can be distributed. My heart has been heavy these last few days as more and more information comes through social media. The people who escaped the fires in Lahaina had no warning, as communication was down in the afternoon. Please pray for Maui, and if you are compelled to help, Hawaii Community Foundation is vetted and has set up a fund on their website “Maui Strong” [URL="http://www.hawaiicommunityfoundation.org"]www.hawaiicommunityfoundation.org[/URL]. (My apologies if not allowed) Hold your loved ones close. Prayers for all those trying to recover. New Leaf [/QUOTE]
