Anything helps

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Matt.

My little brother Brent moved to Hawaii a few years ago and has worked very hard building a business as a contractor. He purchased an excavator and tools as well as a home.

all of these things burned down in a vicious wildfire recently, destroying his net worth and putting him in a spot where he, his girlfriend, and his 2 year old son are now forced to scrape by.

I set the goal at $5,000 as a way of modestly helping him stay on his feet and provide for his family as they struggle to find a new place to stay and keep fed, but he lost significantly more than that, so I'm hoping to see how much we can do for him.

Thank you to anyone who even reads this and considers it. Every little bit helps.
