My name is Esmeralda Santos. This fundraiser is for myself and mother. Unfortunately, my mother and I became victims of Lahaina fire. Our house didn’t get damaged much but my only source of income did. I had to quit my job back in March due to an leg injury. My mother has been provider, but unfortunately she lost her job due to the fire. I am a disabled Deaf-Blind 23 year old that can’t work at this time. I have a genetic disorder called neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2), which causes lots of spine and brain tumors that need surgery in the future.

I will be needing surgery very soon due to a spine tumor that’s making my legs very weak. It was very hard for me to evacuate, I needed help from multiple people. I will need to travel to Oahu for surgery. I want to make my mother’s life easier for the next few weeks, I don’t want her to worry about money, only about my recovery.
