The King's message to President Biden following the devastation caused by the wildfires in Hawai’i

Dear Mr. President,

My wife and I were utterly horrified to hear of the catastrophic wildfires currently burning in Maui, Hawai’i.   We can only begin to imagine the scale of the devastation engulfing the island, and the heartrending anguish of those whose livelihoods have been so disastrously affected.  

However inadequate it may be, we both wanted to send our deepest possible sympathy to the families of those who have so tragically lost their lives, and our prayers remain with all those whose loved ones are missing and whose homes have been destroyed.  

As the recovery effort continues, my special thoughts are with the extraordinarily brave emergency responders and Maui residents who are providing their support and assistance.

CHARLES R.
