sponsor a maui family
Great Forest Ministry is providing immediate and direct financial aid to the members of our community who’ve lost their homes. As a small organization based on Maui, we’re ideally positioned to get relief right where it’s needed most. It’s our own friends and family who’ve lost it all and they urgently need our support to rebuild. Funds will be delivered along with a Bible and a big hug.
We’re in it for the long haul. The outpouring of support we’ve received thus far has been amazing, and we’re so grateful. But we also know that as news cycles shift, motivation to help will diminish. Let’s prepare for the long term process of rebuilding. Please make a personal connection with someone who lost their home in the Lahaina fire and create a lasting friendship. It’s LOVE that sustains us more than money.
How if Works
Sign up if you’re interested in connecting with a Maui resident hurt by the fire so that you can provide emotional and spiritual support.
Watch your inbox for informational materials and a link to a quick training video on trauma support.
GFM is partnering with local churches and other non-profits to build local support groups to cope with the immediate trauma of loss. Members of those groups looking for longer term emotional and spiritual support will be enrolled in the GFM sponsorship program.
Then a sponsee will be assigned for you to provide support and build a lasting bond of friendship and love.
If you’re part of a church or other organization, enter the name in the form to be paired together and create a larger support network for your sponsee.
If you’re not sure about becoming a sponsor, don’t worry, you’ll have time to find out more before making a commitment. Sign up. Thank you so much and God Bless!
