Residents of a memory care community have created a unique fundraiser for Maui wildfire victims.
Hawaiians typically give Puka shell necklaces to wish people good luck and now memory care patients hope their project generates lots of luck.
They are crafting Puka shell bracelets and then selling them with proceeds benefiting Hawaiians impacted by the recent wildfires on Maui.
The bracelets can be purchased from Porter Place Memory Care located at 17833 South Harlem Avenue in Tinley Park.
