VA helps Veteran recover from Maui wildfire
A Native Hawaiian Veteran received assistance from the VA after a wildfire affected his community. His home, financed through the VA, was in the path of the fire. The Veteran's family, including his daughter and grandchildren, were inside when the fire approached.
Communication was difficult due to power and internet outages. The Veteran's family was able to escape with the help of a car that was left at home. Further details about the Veteran's recovery and the VA's role are available from the source.
The VA has been supporting Veterans for over 80 years, including during times of significant loss.
