I have a dear friend who lives in Hilo on the windward (wet) side of the "big island". I knew she was safe but asked how she was coping.

Her response: "Moving from deep sadness to action."

Knowing nothing of the charitable organizations in Hawai'i, I asked for a recommendation.

Here is her suggestion: "My preference is Honpa Hongwanji Mission of Hawaii 1727 Pali Highway, Honolulu, HI 96813. Mark it for Maui assistance."

Blessings and thanks to all. (This also posted in Today's Edition by Robert Hubbell)

Thank you Dr Fahey! I saw your post on Robert's Substack and plan to donate there. Looks like we can use the address you mention, or a GoFundMe that was created.

Thank you, Jessica. I found the Hawai'i Community Foundation, whilst looking for a "closer to the ground" pipeline for contributions.
