Donate via: GoFundMe

I am creating a GoFundMe account on behalf of my mother Nina Ortile, who has been displaced by the Maui fires. My mom has lived in Lahaina, Maui since the early 1990s and loves the island very much. Unfortunately she has lost everything in the fires including important documents (passport & IDs) and fled with only the clothes on her back and left with friends & family. We are so blessed and thankful that she is alive as it was a scary few days after the fires that we were unable to get ahold of her or know the status of her well-being.

She is still currently in Lahaina on the west side of Maui where there is very limited access to basic resources. We are hoping and praying that she & the others have access to food, water, and a bed to sleep in. We appreciate any donations, big or small to help my mother get back on her feet and recover from the horrific event. We plan to fly her to Vegas where we will open our home to her and continue to support and be there for her. Thank you very much for any help.
