The former President of the United States (US), Bill Clinton has poured out his heart to the people of Hawaii Town in Lahaina and the communities across Maui in the US by lending a hand through his Clinton Global Community Foundation, and requested for more support from other foundations and well-wishers.

He said this in his tweet on Tuesday night, August 15, 2023 as he extended sympathy to the fire victims in Hawaii.

Clinton called upon other foundations and local organizations intending to offer assistance to consider Hawaii community through various foundations and local organizations on ground.

“Our hearts go out to the people of Hawaii, in Lahaina and communities across Maui. If you’re looking to contribute to local organizations working on the ground, please consider the Hawai’i Community Foundation,” Clinton said.

He also recognized members of the Clinton Global Community who have already mobilized resources to Maui.

“Thank you for everything you are doing to support response and recovery effort,” he noted.

The Clinton Global Community is supporting local partners and providing urgent critical care to survivors across Hawaii.

The disastrous Maui wildfires that started on Wednesday, August 9, 2023, and still continue to burn the Island have destroyed the historical Hawaiian town of Lahaina in Maui Island and has already claimed lives of at least 106 people, while thousands of residents and tourists were left stranded, and over 2,200 structures damaged.

Hawaii’s Governor, Josh Green, on Tuesday, August 15, 2023, warned that more dozens could be dead on the Maui Island following the disastrous wildfires.

The historic town of Lahaina is best known for its vibrant history and picturesque charm. Lahaina sits on Maui a relatively small Island with limited developable area, and its real estate is some of the most expensive in Hawaii.
