Flo and Susan Munar - Lahaina, Maui Fires

My name is Karen, I spent these last few days reflecting on my family’s tragedy in Maui. Some of you know I still have a lot of family there. This is about my Uncle Flo and Auntie Susan and their family. They lost everything in the fires in Lahaina. And like many people, their entire neighborhood, their schools, and workplaces were completely burned down. They’re safe and with the kindness of their community, they for now have a place to stay temporarily. But starting over will be financially difficult for them and their 2 children. They lost all their personal belongings which now, they’ll need to replace. When the fires happened, they walked out only with the clothes on their back. They’re a kind and hardworking family, they’re always here to help anyone out and now they’re in need and I am asking everyone to please show kindness back. My uncle worked in the hotel industry for years and my aunt worked at Lahaina Safeway, if you've visited Lahaina I wouldn't doubt they've helped you in the past.

It will be a difficult road for them as we know prices are high right now for everything and when you’re on the island and its tourist destination everything is even more. Even if it’s just to buy personal items like clothing, food, and gas, any amount will help. Please show kindness in your hearts to help all the families in Lahaina. Life was never easy on the islands, people worked hard and the living wages were already bad before the fires, imagine this tragedy now. I can only imagine what is going through their minds. Let’s gather together to at least bring some peace to some of the basic things. Please share this gofundme on your socials. I would really appreciate any exposure to help my family out. 

Thank you with all my heart!

Karen
