ODB for Maui: How to Support Victims of Wildfires

Related Topics: Maui, Kamehameha I

This type of post is not our regularly scheduled content, but this type of tragedy (thankfully) is also not prevalent in our daily sports world.

I am kanaka maoli or Native Hawaiian, born and raised and currently residing in Ou02bbahu. Our community members in various parts of Maui and specifically in historic Lu0101hainu0101 have lost their lives, homes, businesses, vehicles, pets, jobs, belongings, and more in the calamitous wildfires on Tuesday and Wednesday due to drought conditions combined with high winds from Hurricane Dora.

Lu0101hainu0101 is an integral location in Native Hawaiian culture as our King Kamehameha I named it the Hawaiian Kingdom’s official capital when he unified the islands in 1802.
