The prominent American actor Dwayne Johnson (better known as The Rock) and the talk show host Oprah Winfrey launched an initiative focused on helping those displaced by the devastating wildfires in Maui, Hawaii. 

The so-called People’s Fund of Maui is available for contributors from all over the globe and accepts donations in cryptocurrencies.

Crypto to the Rescue 

The Rock took it to X (Twitter) to explain that the fund will put money “directly in the pockets of those who were affected by the recent wildfires.”

He clarified that every adult resident of Lahaina and Kula (the regions that suffered the worst from the natural disaster) is eligible to receive $1,200 per month “to help them through this period of recovery.”

The popular Hollywood actor and his partner in the move – Oprah Winfrey – started the campaign by donating $10 million and urged people to continue the good deed. 

Besides contributing via numerous fiat currencies, individuals can also send crypto assets. The supported digital currencies by the People’s Fund of Maui include some of the largest by market capitalization, such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Solana (SOL), Polkadot (DOT), Polygon (MATIC), Litecoin (LTC), Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and many more.
