Our family lost our home in Lahaina, Maui on Aug 8, 2023. We are a family of 6 that lost everything but a few days worth of clothing. We had to self-evacuate with no warning at all after the house filled with smoke and we could hardly see. The power had already been out since early that morning due to the high winds knocking down trees and power lines. We had all been hunkering down for the storm. We grabbed what clothes we could and packed into 3 cars. My mother, Anne, my 3 children (aged 3, 5, and 14) and I got stuck in the middle of the fire during evacuation and spent 2 hours watching the fire catch up to us and burn houses a sidewalks distance from our cars while stuck in bumper to bumper traffic. We are truly grateful to be alive and appreciate whatever you can give us. We need money for everything from clothing, people and pet food, essentials, housing, school supplies, toys, and all the things for daily living. Again thank you for anything you can offer.
Mahalo,
Noelani, Anne, Clem, Kayla, Kili & Mahea
