Last summer, the Lahaina community faced devastating wildfires that destroyed homes and displaced families. Lana Vierra, a long-time resident, lost her home and cherished swing set in the blaze. Vierra and her family, including ten relatives, were among the 12,000 people displaced by the deadliest U.S. wildfire in over a century.
In response to the crisis, the People's Fund of Maui was established by Oprah Winfrey and Dwayne Johnson, committing $10 million to aid those who lost their homes. The initiative received overwhelming support, raising nearly $60 million from various contributors, with significant contributions from Winfrey and Johnson.
