Fundraising efforts for Maui fire victims continue to pop up across Bay Area

All across the Bay Area right now, new fundraising are efforts continuing to pop up in the wake of this week’s devastating wildfire in Lahaina. One fundraiser was started by Jason Raffin, a San Francisco chef, who recently relocated to Hawaii. He barely escaped the flames and his home and restaurant were completely destroyed.
