Subject: UPDATE: Critical news from Hawaii

Record-breaking wildfires in Hawaii have already killed 55 people, injured dozens more, destroyed more than 270 structures and displaced thousands. 

Americares is deploying an emergency response team to help survivors of these wildfires – the deadliest the U.S. has seen in years.

Our team has spoken to local partners and learned that two clinics have been destroyed. We are currently assessing needs and are prepared to send emergency shipments of medicine and relief supplies. We will continue to coordinate with local partners and state offices responding to the crisis.

Your donation of $125 or more makes all the difference as we respond with lifesaving aid to communities hit hardest by crises in Hawaii and around the world. We need the support of humanitarians like you so we can launch into action whenever disaster strikes. Please, will you make an urgent gift right now?

We will keep you informed of critical updates about what we see on the ground and our efforts to help Hawaii in the difficult days and weeks ahead.
