Moreover, The Rock clarified that, under the program, every adult resident displaced by the wildfires is eligible to receive $1200 monthly. Also, Oprah Winfrey elucidated the essence of delivering the donations directly to the survivors. She said it is to empower them to determine their path to recovery and normalcy.
Notably, the disaster relief organization All Hands and Hearts has also actively gathered crypto donations to extend aid to the local Maui residents.
