We are truly devasted and heartbroken for everyone on Maui who has been impacted by the recent events. Flames have destroyed hundreds of homes, displaced families, and caused so much damage. Let's do what we can to reach out and provide any support possible. Thank you to the Oahu Wedding Association for compiling this list of organizations coordinating fundraising for Maui.
