Maui Humane Society, locally supported in East Maui by Sharon Jahns, has launched an emergency appeal for monetary donations to help support the following immediate needs in Hana:
- Pet Food Supplies: Immediate procurement and delivery of bulk food to meet the surge in community requests.
- Emergency Funding for Labor: To hire local contractors to rebuild destroyed shelter roofs and clear debris.
- Power & Communications: Funding for high-capacity generators, fuel reserves, and satellite internet to restore the town’s animal welfare lifeline.
“Hana is often the last to receive aid due to its geographic isolation,” said Nikki Russell, Interim CEO. “With a month-long blackout looming, we are asking the community to help us ensure that the animals and people of East Maui are not forgotten in the dark.”
How to Help: Donations to the Hana Emergency Relief can be made at https://www.mauihumanesociety.org/helphana
Reach out to Sharon (808) 870-6251 if you need animal related assistance in East Maui.
