In remembrance of the Maui Wildfires that swept through Lahaina, the Hawaii Red Cross will be presenting stories from residents and volunteers as they were reported during the initial days and weeks of response efforts. Some of these stories originally appeared online, through news coverage or on social media; other stories are being presented for the first time. We hope to treat every story as both a remembrance and a lesson on how best to respond to those in need.
