Maui Wildfire,Donations,Oprah

The Entertainment Industry Foundation says the People's Fund of Maui, an initiative started by Oprah Winfrey and Dwayne Johnson to benefit survivors of the wildfires in Maui, has given away almost $60 million.

Lana Vierra misses the swing set at her Lahaina home, which was reduced to ashes in the wildfires that swept through her community last summer.'Multiple generations went through there playing in my front yard,' she said. 'Just with the animals and the turtles and the deer and goats that we once had in that little tiny yard.'A grandmother of four and a mother of five, Vierra had lived in the home on a corner lot since 1991.

They will need that money — and more — to rebuild, though those plans are still very distant.She said they are extremely grateful to everyone who donated and for the mutual aid efforts that were set up immediately after the fires. Those local efforts were how most people received assistance in the first weeks after the fire, said Maui-based attorney Lance Collins, who is representing some survivors.
