Help Inaldo and Ocean devastated by Lahaina fire
Donation protected
This gofundme is for Inaldo Vieira and Ocean Vieira. On August 8th, 2023 the island of Maui was hit with high winds from a nearby hurricane, causing a massive wildfire to engulf our entire city of Lahaina. So many of our family and friends lost everything, including my sons father and my son, who barely made it out alive.
With no evacuation notice or time to escape, they had moments to get out of the house and out of town before unbelievable devastation and being literally engulfed by flames. Inaldo grabbed nothing, just his son Ocean. He showed up in a towel at my house with our son in his arms. Not even a toothbrush.
The house was completely burned to the ground in a matter of minutes, a total loss. Hundreds of thousands of dollars up in flames, computers, surfboards, skateboards, all his valuables, all his sons toys, cloths, everything. They got to safety, thank god but lost everything.
There was no warning, no sirens, no evacuation messages as the power was out. From the wind that day. Our community continues to amaze us with their support. We don’t know where to begin from here. We know there are so many people devastated but if you know Inaldo and Ocean, they need your help.
Donations will be used for food, clothing, necessities over these next few months rebuilding their lives. Cloths, boards, toiletries, anything helpfull. You can drop at waves hawaii surf school van if you are in kihei. Size 31/32 short med or large shirt. Mahalo.
