  1. I am so glad she is doing this, they are eating such good and nutritious meals thanks to her. that is awesome <3 😀

  2. I hate that real estate investors are circling these poor people like vultures.

  3. 😢 Hawaiian people are so caring for one another- just heart breaking for them ❤

  4. Amazing. Now that is humanity at work. Bravo, to all those helping.

  5. PTL..Amen and God be with them..

  6. NBC shows compassion when this lady's business is gone , couldn't care less when BLM rioted and destroyed others . Oh the hypocrisy.

  7. When the world is burning out your self in the faith of compassion… you will learn a lot. I miss my friends who were driven to cut their wrists on a sunny day.

  8. He is a chef who truly loves his job and is passionate about his food.

  9. PRICELESS….Thank you all. 😢 ❤️ ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕 💘 🙏🏾 🤲 🙏🏾

  10. Maybe a little of merit can be considered before selecting officials. A thousand dead 2/3 children and the poor. Scorched earth shouldn't be an option for billionaire investors.

  11. God bless you!🙏 Ive always loved the culture of the Hawaiian people. There strong on there beliefs, aloha, and there way to share!

  12. Very powerful she is doing a great job🙏😇🙏😇🙏😇🙏😇🙏😇🙏😇🙏😇

  13. Plus they lost the museum that held the history of Maui when it was the capital of Hawaii

  14. Oprah Winfrey give money 💸💰 insurance company doin Biden 😁 uncle

  15. This is what the billionaires should be donating to….feeding the natives not grabbing their land at bargain price!

  16. Amaizing to see the resilience and community!!

  17. I know this humanitarian action make such an impression, and it s great, but should not be sensational. And yes needed, to survive, to move forward but also to look back, to see what and why it happened and to learn from it… I won't belive something was done terribly wrong for that fire to go on like that, human action.. Or innaction

  18. Rock flag 🇺🇸 and 🦅 eagle good people helping good people

  19. Esa persona es indispensable, su generosidad es Ejemplo de Humanismo

  20. Where'd that devil oprah go?

  21. So sorry Chef 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️our hearts and prayers are going out to all of you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️

  22. Huge respect to the chef.

  23. Awsome to see this.

    CHEF LIFE 💪🤙

  24. What a hero… I’m sure her heart is broken but …

  25. Is there a GoFundMe for her? To raise $ for a new restaurant?

  26. Blackrock and Vanguard are top owners of the monopoly energy company that destroyed the city on purpose. Blame Larry Fink. He hates freedom he hates competition.

  27. Amazing how every day people come together to help with the essentials after a disaster – giving their heart and soul to help another…. And the most rich people on this earth like bezo who paid millions to put his co.. K rocket in space remain empty handed and silent… This should say it all to the majority of the world… Bezo could probably single handedly rebuild the town on his wealth alone 🤔

  28. Beautiful selfless people with their hearts in the right place.

  29. You guys are wonderful!

  30. May the Lord bless you and your team and Ohana for your service and love. Mahalo ❤🌺

  31. 😢😢😢😢😢❤ in a loss of words

  32. The world is falling apart…JESUS is getting closer and closer

    Read Revelation 13:16-18 in your Bible
    Read Revelation 14:9-11 in your Bible
    Read Revelation 6:12-17 in your Bible

    " A prayer to go to HEAVEN "
    Luke 23:42-43 kjv

    Lord I am a sinner and I believe that JESUS died on the cross for my sins. Buried afterwards, then rose from the dead.

    Read Romans 10:9-11 in your Bible

    JESUS SAVES SINNERS PROJECT
    1 Timothy 1:15 kjv

    Time is running out !

  33. The people snorkeling this devastating Disaster should be arrested and placed on work detail as long as it takes

  34. I’m so heartbroken!! Shame on #biden and the #USMilitary for failing Maui! Don’t get me started on the worthless officials such as #JoshGreen, #RichardBissen and #HermanAndAndaya PUT THEM BEHIND BARS!!!!
