Aloha, My name is Alley Umiat. I am the daughter of Mac-Arthur and Estrelita Umiat.
My parents like so many others, lost their home to the wildfires in Lāhaina. It took some time to track them down, but we are blessed to learn today that they got out in time and are safe. With limited time to evacuate, all of their personal belongings were left behind and engulfed by the fires. My heart is heavy and I’m completely torn. My childhood memories gone, my hometown is gone and the street I grew up on is gone.
