Help my family in the aftermath of Maui wildfire
Donation protected
My family and I didn't expect that a passing hurricane would cause such a disastrous fire that would wipe out all that was Lahaina. It was an awful experience waking up to the fire and smoke traveling through my neighborhood. There was no time for me to think, I only grabbed whatever was closest to me before evacuating my home. I spent most of my time waiting at Honokowai, hoping the fire would be put out, after some time, I was finally able to receive a phone call from my mother, who shopped at Kihei. She was happy to know I was safe but then started crying about how far the fire spread, it was then that I realized that everything I had worked for and the little town I grew up in was long gone. My heart goes out to those who are also going through such a terrible event, and pray for their safety.
All I can do now is try to get a place to stay and try to recover everything we lost, I will be grateful for any amount of support I receive. Mahalo for reading this, and stay safe out there. Sincerely, Hector Garcilazo
