Aloha APAMSA Family,
It is with a humble heart that your NHPI members and community are requesting your help given recent unfolding events of the Maui Wildfires. With all the damage currently, the Maui community needs your help more than ever.
The best way to help is via monetary donations. They are the most efficient and effective way to support disaster relief efforts, as material donations (food, water, clothes) may not always be suitable.
Below are a few of the best organizations for you to support. If you are unable to financially support at this time, you can also help by spreading the word to your friends, family, and institutions. Furthermore, while help is needed immediately, in the short-term, you may also consider donating at a later time as long-term support will be needed as the community rebuilds.
Finally, we ask that for all those with upcoming travel to Maui to not come in the near future. We hope that you may be able to cancel/reschedule. The community will need to reserve their limited resources for those in need and use hotels and other lodging areas to house displaced residents.
