PDA's Hawaii Fires Link

PDA works collaboratively for every disaster and in this stance, PDA is supporting this church and the upcountry region of Maui, where the upcountry fire is still burning. Initially the focus is on stabilizing the residents by bringing resources to the upcountry community, which is being neglected by the media attention solely on the Lahaina/coastal area.
