Hi, I’m Sabrina and I’m fundraising for my brother Shaun Collins and his girlfriend Laura Cole. They lost everything in the Lahaina fire like so many did. Shaun moved to Lahaina in July 2018 after buying a wedding planning company. He packed up his entire life in Oregon where he grew up and shipped everything that mattered to him over to Maui to start his new chapter. That chapter started roughly when our dad unexpectedly passed away a week after he moved to Hawaii. Shaun began his wedding planning business after returning from Oregon (for our dad’s celebration of life) and worked at Foodland Farms in Lahaina before getting a job with HFA (distributing food to stores in Lahaina). When covid hit in 2020, the wedding planning business was put on hold (since no tourists were allowed for so long). Shaun and Laura met in March 2019. Laura had been on Maui for years and is very loved by many in the theater community and works at local schools as a teacher (4th grade the last two years). They need money to rebuild their lives in Maui.
