Here’s How to Help Victims of the Hawaii Wildfires

Sending love, light and healing prayers to Maui.

Maui has always been a special place for our family.

Heather’s dad lives in Kihei half of the year and we’ve been blessed with the tradition of celebrating Thanksgiving on Maui just about every year since 2007.

Our hearts are broken and prayers are with the families and loved ones impacted by the devastating wildfires. We can’t even begin to imagine what it’s like on the ground and the impact of this massive loss. Together we can support the locals and rebuild the beauty of this island that holds so many cherished memories for us.

Let’s stand together in solidarity with the affected communities, offering our thoughts, prayers, and assistance in any way we can.

If you’re able to contribute, please consider supporting local relief efforts and organizations dedicated to restoring the natural wonders of Maui.

Every little bit helps.

Here is some guidance on how to donate on CNBC.
