I'm grateful for the support we've received during this tragic time in Maui. We're facing challenges in getting insulin and prescription medication to those in need due to the Department of Health's approval process. Our government officials, from the local to federal level, have not provided any support and are actually making it harder for us to help our families and friends. We've been using jet skis and boats, but even that will soon be stopped. Despite these obstacles, we're determined to keep pushing forward and help everyone affected. Thank you to the Maui community for your support. Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers. I'll provide updates as we progress.
