Las Vegas business collecting items for Maui wildfire victims
LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) - A Las Vegas business that is owned by a Hawaiian native is accepting donations to help those affected by the Maui wildfires.
Tyson Camarao, owner of Leilani’s Attic, said he has been in contact with people in Maui about what is needed.
Camarao said they’ve gotten plenty of clothes donations, but now need things like batteries, PPE including masks, and food. Other items they are looking for donations for include shoes, diapers, toiletry items and baby formula.

UPDATE: Leilani’s Attic is no longer accepting cash donations to buy goods for families on Maui, but has set up a new system for people to connect with families directly if they want to make a cash donation. People can scan a QR code in the store which will link people to families and they can donate to a GoFundMe or use Venmo. The business says it knows the families and has vetted them, so people can be assured the money is going to those who legitimately need help.
