Aaron Griffith Maui Firefighter Fundraiser

On 8/9/23, my brother Aaron left home in Lahaina, Maui, for firefighting duty with only the clothes on his back and his firefighting equipment. Since that time, Maui has been absolutely devastated by wildfires, taking numerous lives and destroying timeless historical properties and homes - apocalyptic. Unfortunately, Aaron also lost his home and all his belongings while working tirelessly (& quite literally) carrying others to safety—a true hero.

We want to help Aaron get back on his feet with a very long road ahead of him of mourning and rebuilding.

My family and I have established this account to help Aaron on Maui. Any donation is appreciated. Thank you for your love and support.

UPDATE

my father spoke with Aaron, and although he is exhausted, he is doing alright. The following contains some graphic detail about what Aaron has experienced as a first responder during a natural disaster. If you're uncomfortable, please stop reading.

"We should all feel very proud of Aaron. His action of saving lives is nothing less than heroic. He carried elderly, women, children, and babies through streets, buildings, and hallways to safety while surrounded by flames and exploding cars, with dead human and animal bodies in the streets.

He carried a baby thrust into his arms by a woman, sheltering it from the heat, smoke, and flames; he saved them all. He found 40 people while looking for two screaming in a pool for safety and led them to safety.

He also found and rescued victims out of the water with severely burned flesh but very much alive, wrapping them in medical blankets and carrying them to safety. The stories went on and on and on. It sounded like Armageddon. Absolutely incredible!!!

Gooooo AARON!!!!

So proud of your bravery and love of others."
