The Shaw Family

Hi, my name is Samara and I’m Ola’s little sister. People have constantly been asking me how they can help and it’s hard to know where to start. Many families have experienced great loss in different forms; it will take years to rebuild Lahaina. My brother has been helping to search for missing people, successfully reuniting a family. They have not left the west side in order to help. The community they know and love has been so generous, rallying in support of each other in every way. My brother has amazing friends who have opened their home for he and his family to stay at and use internet to contact people during this tough time. Ola has lived in Lahaina practically his whole life, but the Maui fires have completely destroyed this beloved town. My brother’s business office and all contents have been burnt to the ground. Miraculously, their house is still standing, but due to smoke damage it is unlivable. They will need to do restoration to their whole home and for the time being they are still trying to figure out where to relocate, not sure what it looks like moving forward from here. If you would like to support my brother, my sister in law and their beautiful children, please donate and spread the word! Mahalo to you all!
