Oprah Winfrey and actor Dwayne Johnson have announced the creation of the People’s Fund of Maui, a relief initiative aimed at helping those affected by the recent devastating wildfires on the Hawaiian island.
“Every dollar that you send is going to go into an account that goes directly to the people,” Winfrey said.
The confirmed death toll due to the fires stood at 115 as of Wednesday, and an unknown number of people were still missing three weeks after a fire leveled the historic Maui town of Lahaina.
