Waiea Water is a recommended organization to donate  to support Maui.  They’ve  already donated a few machines that turn the air into drinking water for communities that have been displaced. See their story❤️💧

We have started a @gofundme campaign to raise money to keep our Atmospheric Water Generators going for as long as it takes. Our machines can provide over 220 gallons of safe clean drinking water a day. All we need is a source of power and the help of our community. Maui needs everyone’s help right now. Mahalo to incredible community members like @lanikaisteve and @mykailua for being leaders in times like this. Our hearts go out to the people of Maui.

Aloha, our hearts are still breaking regarding the devastation in Maui from the fires. Thank you all for  I love and prayers sent for the ‘aina and the people of Maui.  We are realizing that response from big organizations have not been forthcoming, so please, if you are able to donate, please do so with local organizations or directly to  individuals and families affected.  Here is a list  of such options to consider. You could also consider the Humane Society in Maui to help with the animals. Mahalo! ❤️🙏🏽

Lastly, learn the "kaholo square" by dancing the kaholo right & left on each side of the square. This is a great way to warm-up your body and prepare for...
