The wildfires in Maui last week are among the deadliest in modern U.S. History. People are trying to help those who’ve lost their homes. KLCC’s Rachael McDonald spoke with a native Oregonian and UO Alum who has lived in Maui for the last three years.

Kimmy Gustafson says she’s been buying displaced families things like underwear and toiletries as they cope with the loss of their homes. You can listen to the conversation using the audio player at the top of the story.

Rachael McDonald is KLCC’s host for All Things Considered on weekday afternoons. She also is the editor of the KLCC Extra, the daily digital newspaper. Rachael has a BA in English from the University of Oregon. She started out in public radio as a newsroom volunteer at KLCC in 2000.
