The wildfires on Maui caused catastrophic damage due to strong winds. The communities affected had to be evacuated on a large scale, and the aftermath was devastating. Many people lost their lives, and numerous others went missing. The widespread damage was a grim reality.

According to ABC reports, at least 115 individuals tragically lost their lives, while over 1,100 others remained missing, their fates uncertain. The town of Lahaina, once a vibrant hub of life and culture, bore the brunt of the devastation, with an estimated 80% of the city reduced to ashes.

In response to this calamity, Jason Momoa, renowned for his roles in “Game of Thrones” and “Aquaman,” joined forces with Eva Longoria, celebrated for her work in “Desperate Housewives” and her activism, to extend their help and compassion.
