In the aftermath of unimaginable loss, it is the unwavering strength of people like Jay that reveals the depth of human resilience. Jay has spent the past year finding refuge at Pūʻuhonua o Nēnē, a temporary shelter for Maui wildfire survivors.
Located just minutes from Kahului Airport, Pūʻuhonua o Nēnē was created through the vision of Governor Josh Green, in partnership with Project Vision Hawaiʻi. Since its opening on September 29, 2023, this shelter has offered safety and solace to survivors like Jay, who—despite enduring horrific tragedies—continue to move forward with gratitude.
Jay’s journey is a testament to the power of community and the importance of helping one another. It is stories like his that remind us why we do what we do.
