Maui Hero We Are Proud To Call Our Own

All of us here at LARC are proud to introduce Kaitlyn Broussard, one of LARC’s dedicated Grant Writers, and a resident of Kihei, Maui.

In the aftermath of the devastating Maui Fires, Kaitlyn offered her support to the affected community including the Maui Humane Society, which was greatly in need of resources to help rescued animals with burn injuries. Moreover, Kaitlyn has been providing donations and support to Lahaina families many of whom lost everything. Additionally, Kaitlyn has volunteered as an Ocean Steward for the Pacific Whale Foundation. Kaitlyn and all of us at LARC send our thoughts to those affected by the fires in Maui.

To be sure, Kaitlyn is a true animal advocate. As an avid free diver, she plunges into the depths of Maui’s coral reefs, carefully removing marine debris and derelict fishing gear with over 67 yards of fishing line removed just this past June. Her commitment extends further as she keeps a vigilant watch for entangled turtles during her dives, reaching out to the appropriate organizations for their timely rescue. She is dedicated to cultivating a thriving habitat for all creatures, both at LARC’s sanctuary and in the oceans.

Kaitlyn and LARC want to thank the Maui Humane Society for all the help they are providing for animals with burned paws. They have taken in any and all animals from chickens and pigs to dogs and cats. If you can, please help.
