Hawaii wildfire 'added' to family's tragedy and turmoil: Samaritan's Purse reveals devastation in Maui
Fox News
As wildfires on the island of Maui in Hawaii have left at least 110 people dead with many more still missing, Samaritan's Purse, the Christian relief group, is on the ground helping victims.
"Three weeks ago, Marina’s stepfather was tragically killed by a reckless driver. She and her family have been through a lot of pain over the past month — and the fire has added to their turmoil," said a spokesperson for the organization. Volunteers managed to find "crafts from Marina’s childhood, a portion of her grandmother’s coin purse, an array of pottery passed down within the family for years" and more. The couple shared gratitude for the help they've received during this "terrible" time. "An army of more than 2,000 volunteers from the U.S. mainland [are] on standby and prepared to deploy to Hawaii." "We've come to serve you and just to be with you during this time."

At least 110 people were killed in the August 8 wildfires on the island of Maui. That death toll is expected to rise.
