In a heartwarming gesture of solidarity, entertainment powerhouses Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Oprah Winfrey have joined hands to extend a helping hand to those affected by the recent devastating wildfires in Maui. The dynamic duo announced the launch of a $10 million fund aimed at providing financial support to the thousands of residents grappling with the aftermath of the wildfires.
Johnson and Winfrey’s benevolent initiative, aptly named the People’s Fund of Maui, seeks to provide direct financial relief to those impacted by the catastrophic fires that swept through Lahaina and Kula, displacing residents from their homes and forcing them to evacuate.
Explaining their motivation behind the fund, Johnson shared that after brainstorming how they could make a meaningful impact, the decision was made to establish the fund to assist those in need. The initiative offers a lifeline to affected individuals, as they can apply to receive $1,200 per month to aid in their recovery efforts.
The involvement of these prominent figures is set to inspire and encourage further contributions from the community and beyond. Johnson expressed his hope that additional donations would pour in over time, bolstering the initial substantial contribution.
In a statement that radiates their shared commitment to supporting those in crisis, Johnson expressed, “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. We thank you in advance for your contribution.”
Oprah Winfrey, who is a part-time resident of Maui, has also taken active steps to assist the wildfire victims. She has visited evacuation shelters, distributing essential supplies to those affected by the disaster over the past few weeks.
The collaboration between Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Oprah Winfrey serves as a beacon of hope for Maui’s wildfire victims, as the two renowned individuals leverage their platforms and resources to make a meaningful and immediate difference in the lives of those grappling with the aftermath of this tragic event.
