If you’ve ever eaten at Lahaina Coolers, Lahaina Pizza Co., Cool Cats, Captain Jack’s, Down the Hatch, Amigo’s, Pioneer Inn, Mala Ocean Tavern, Lahaina Grill, amongst other places that are now gone, my family made your meals. My family worked in the kitchens and rotated between locations from early morning to late night. They have been a strong part of the Lahaina Hispanic community helping others learn how to apply for work, insurance, schooling, and anything that has ever needed translating. We would assist MEO and the Consulate of Mexico gather people needing passport and ID renewals.

We are also a part of the Maria Lanakila Spanish-speaking community where my mom was a sacristan and a Sunday school teacher for over 10+ years. Growing up my brothers and I (pictured) were altar servers and lectors. My brothers are supposed to graduate from community college and high school this year. We have some family members that moved to Maui a few days before the fire. UPDATE: We were just informed our insurance does not even cover the personal losses of just my mom’s personal items alone.
