Hawaii is facing its worst wildfires in a long time, having an impact on many people. The American Red Cross is working hard to help those in trouble.

Together with government officials and partners, the Red Cross is finding safe places for people to stay, giving them food, and helping them feel better. If things get worse, they're ready to do even more to help.

In a bid to assist fellow Red Cross volunteers, Steve Hilgers from Central Illinois is gearing up for a mission to Maui. His mission? To ensure that his fellow workers have comfortable places to rest and support their tasks. Steve's no stranger to helping out in big challenges; he's lent a hand during major hurricanes in the past.
