Hawaii Natural Disasters Relief
Donation protected
Beginning on May 3rd, Kilauea(the most active volcano on the Big Island) began to erupt and caused fissures to develop. Accompanying Kilauea's activity, have been a series of Earthquakes registering as high as the 6.9 that was recorded on Friday evening and have continued into Monday morning. Since these events, there have been continuous warnings pertaining to the ongoing dangers of lava, subsequent earthquakes as well as the sulfur dioxide gas that has been released into the air. With the ongoing and present dangers, I have been in contact with numerous groups on the Big Island and will be donating all proceeds from this campaign to various local non-profits that are on the ground level impacting those affected. Both immediate and long term needs will be supported and updates will be provided on this page as the disbursements are provided to the groups.
Natural disasters are disruptive, uncontrollable and unforgiving. These events have left many island residents and visitors in need of emergency assistance. It’s at a time like this that we must kōkua (help) and come together as an extended ‘ohana (family) to help those in need. If you can help, no matter the amount, it will mean the world to those who have lost so much in such a sudden turn of events. We feel that it’s our kuleana (responsibility) to do what we can to assist our neighbors, family, and friends. Let’s show the Big Island the meaning of the "Aloha Spirit".
