Hi, our names are Skylar and Karsten and we are raising funds to help Gavin, Kyshia and their 6-year-old son Hilo find a new place to live and support them as they rebuild their life as the fire in Lahaina took their home and possessions. Karsten is the brother to Gavin, the father of his 6-year-old son Hilo who has been born and raised in Lahaina. The family was evacuated moments before the flames consumed their home and most of their belongings.

We are happy and blessed that they are alive but this beautiful, loving family has nowhere to raise their son. We are devasted as Gavin has worked so hard to provide for his family. Kyshia, who is a native woman from the island, also lost their family home. Gavin has lived in Lahaina his whole life and just watched his community and childhood burn to the ground. We want to support them in any way to help them get safe and secure into a new home as soon as possible. Any donations and support, no matter how small would be greatly appreciated and go directly to helping a family during this crisis and heartbreaking time.
