My name is Vanessa Castillo, I am 1 of 3 children. I am the daughter of Ave and Noble Castillo. I have 2 brothers, Symere and JR. We live in Lahaina, specifically in the Wahikuli neighborhood, on Kahoma street. We are fundraising to get our life back together. I appreciate all of you and your generosity and thank you for your support. 48 hours ago I could only empathize but never imagined my life would be taken away from me like this. If I had one more moment in my home with my family, what would I have done? I would have had watched my dad enjoy one more beer in the comfort of his own home while he listened to his favorite country music or singing Karaoke and bbq on his grill. I would have praised my moms hard work as she finished a day of gardening.
Her garden meant everything to her. I would had cherish her smile one last time, as she walked through her garden after a stressful day of work. I would have encouraged my dad to paint the porch, that he was working so hard to finish. I would have taken a longer look at the photos of my grandparents and reminisced on my childhood. I would have scanned the room and taken in the memories and love that was built in that home. OUR home.
