Hi, we are Laurel and Bill, and we are fundraising for our daughter & son-in-law, Jillian and Joel Green, and their baby, who is due any day. Jillian is 41 and this pregnancy is a dream that has been a long time coming. They were so ready with everything perfect for the baby’s arrival. Yesterday in the torrential Maui fire their home and belongings burned to ashes. They are pregnant and homeless. They didn’t have much time and could only gather a few things. Their rental insurance recently canceled them for being too close to the ocean and they hadn’t yet found a company that would insure them. For now, they are staying in a temporary shelter provided by friends until the baby arrives. Joel’s newly started business burned, and his tools are gone. His parents home burned to the ground, and they have an autistic adult child to care for. His mother’s place of work is also gone along with their whole neighborhood and all of Lahaina town. Our family is hurting beyond words. Any amount of money you could contribute would be very helpful and we would all be immensely grateful for your generosity in helping them rebuild their life. We also ask for your prayers for the safe and healthy delivery of this precious new one joining the world in the midst of all of this. We will keep you posted.
