Desiring to raise funds for the recent fire-ravaged communities on the island of Maui in Hawaii, residents of Waterstone on High Ridge, the senior living community in Stamford, held a luau on Aug. 16 to aid the fire victims. They raised $2,200, which will go to Americares, which is collecting recovery funds.
With nearly 3,000 homes and businesses destroyed or damaged, losses are estimated to be $6 billion, according to CNN.
“For every $1 donated Americares will donate $20 worth of supplies so we have certainly done a lot of good,”™”™ said Jeanie Ricci, senior advisor at Waterstone. “We are very proud of our residents for taking the initiative to hold this event.”™”™
