Asapi Marian Green hopped on an Alaska Airlines flight Tuesday afternoon to Maui to help after the devastating wildfires scoured the island.
“It’s heartbreaking to see people that are in disaster areas. So that’s where my empathy is,” Green said. “And Red Cross fits that for me.”
“We anticipate there will be more AK volunteers deploying . We don’t have an exact number on how many people will be deployed through the entire disaster response. That is all dependent on their needs.,” Taylar Sausen, the regional communications director for the American Red Cross of Alaska, wrote in an email.
This will be Green’s fourth deployment through the Red Cross since joining in 2017. She has also assisted in hurricane relief in North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida. Helping others is a calling for Green.
