Support our UH ‘Ohana Impacted by Flooding
After the worst flooding in 20 years, members of our UH ‘ohana are facing urgent, everyday challenges: finding a safe place to stay, securing a hot meal and replacing basic day-to-day necessities, as well as laptops, textbooks and other materials they rely on to stay in school.
These are our students, our colleagues, and our community, and right now, they desperately need your immediate support to recover.
“While our focus today is on immediate relief, we know that Hawaiʻi’s recovery will be lengthy,” said UH President Wendy Hensel. “We are committed to supporting our UH ʻohana for as long as it takes. Please join us. Every dollar you contribute will directly benefit our students and faculty who are navigating historic challenges.”
UH Foundation is working closely with the University of Hawaiʻi to provide financial assistance for our UH 'ohana who have been impacted by the recent severe flooding across the state.
This commitment is shared by alumni who remember what it meant to feel supported when they needed it most. On Giving Tuesday last fall, Mr. and Mrs. Y were moved to contribute after hearing students’ stories, bringing them back to their own time as working students, raising a family and finding their way, one step at a time. Their generosity reflects something they carry with them still: the knowledge that even small acts of care, offered at the right moment, can help someone keep going.
Please join Mr. and Mrs. Y and the rest of our UH community.
