MAUI, Hawaii — When wildfire burned through Lahaina, Kian Lutu got alarming news: his grandfather, a Lahaina resident, was missing. So Lutu jumped on a plane from Seattle to Maui, hoping to help. His granddad later turned up safe, but people who heard about Lutu's trip sent him money — and he was left to figure out what to do with thousands of dollars.
His story illustrates how communities and families have worked together in the weeks since a catastrophic tragedy hit Maui.
