Over the past few weeks, Hawaiʻi - especially Maui and Oʻahu - has been hit by a devastating storm causing widespread damage across the islands. Homes have been lost, crops destroyed, and many families remain without power and essential resources.

For many in our community, this crisis is personal. Loved ones have experienced firsthand the severity of this storm, one of the worst in recent memory. In response, Pacific Islander community leaders in Colorado are coming together to organize a community-centered fundraising effort rooted in care, culture, and collective action.

This effort will culminate in a lūʻau-style community gathering on April 19, bringing people together to raise funds and support those most impacted.

How Funds Will Be Used
All funds raised will be:
- Distributed to trusted grassroots organizations in Hawaiʻi
- Directed toward families and individuals most impacted

Why This Matters
This is more than disaster relief, it’s about community showing up for community.
By supporting this effort, you are:
- Helping families recover and rebuild
- Supporting culturally grounded, community-led aid
- Strengthening connections between Pacific Islander communities across regions

Transparency Note:
All donations will be processed through Colorado Asian Pacific United (CAPU) and distributed in coordination with event organizers to organizations in Hawai’i working on flood relief. A summary of funds raised and distributed will be shared on GiveButter and our socials following the event.

Mālama pono means "take care" in 'Ōlelo Hawai'i. Hawaiians believe the 'āina (land) is sacred and preserves life - in forms of culture, language, hula, and history. Without the 'āina, Kānaka Maoli (Hawaiians) do not exist.

"He all'i ka 'āina; he kauwā ke kānaka" means the land is chief, and people are its servants.

We need your help: share this campaign, show up to the fundraiser, and donate to ohana impacted by the historic flooding in Hawai'i
