In a remarkable display of solidarity, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Oprah Winfrey are taking meaningful action to support the victims of the recent wildfires that have swept through Maui. Their joint effort involves the launch of a substantial $10 million relief fund aimed at providing vital financial assistance to the numerous affected residents.
The two prominent figures, Johnson and Winfrey, made the announcement on a Thursday morning, unveiling their ambitious initiative after thorough deliberation on how best to extend their help to those in need.
The result is the inception of the People’s Fund of Maui, a proactive approach to providing direct financial relief to individuals who have suffered due to the catastrophic fires that ravaged the regions of Lahaina and Kula. The fund holds a special focus on aiding individuals who have lost their homes and endured the distressing necessity of evacuation.
Dwayne Johnson highlighted the mechanism behind the initiative, emphasizing that individuals can apply to access a monthly sum of $1,200 to aid in their recovery process. Furthermore, Johnson expressed his optimism that additional contributions will steadily flow in over time, supplementing their already substantial donation and creating a more profound impact.
“We are honored to start this campaign with $10 million dollars and ask for your help in donating to those who have lost their homes,” Johnson said. “We thank you in advance for your contribution.”
Oprah Winfrey, known for her part-time residency in Maui, has equally demonstrated her commitment by actively engaging with the affected community. She has extended her assistance by personally visiting evacuation shelters and distributing essential supplies to those in need over the course of the past few weeks.
