Help Ricky rebuild after the Lahaina Fire
Donation protected
On August 8th, 2023 an absolutely Devastating brushfire fueled by 60+ mph winds Charged thru the town of Lahaina, destroying every Structure in its path. Many people had little to no warning, leaving their entire Lives behind, turning around and watching it all burn to ashes. So much history, generations of families homes and businesses gone in just a matter of hours! Words cannot even begin to describe the destruction and Complete devastation this entire community is enduring. Many lives have been lost and far more displaced to shelters and friends and families homes.
I myself scrambled out of my apartment with the shorts I was wearing, and my cat in my arms. As well as all my close neighbors with maybe 30 minutes or less to spare before everything was engulfed. The panic and pandemonium was extremely overwhelming, and I will say we were extremely lucky to have gotten out with our Lives when we did.
I am safe, sheltered, and fed for the time being thanks to friends.
I have been receiving so much love and assistance in so many ways. And I am so far beyond grateful for everything anyone has done to this point. I have also been receiving allot of questions from many people on how they can help. What can they do.
I am taking donations to help rebuild My life that took many many years to build up that was taken from me in a matter of a few hours.
We are also taking donations to help Anyone else that may need anything. We want to help get supplies to people that I’m sure are in Far worse situations than myself.
Please PLEASE keep everyone affected by this Nightmare throughout many islands in your prayers. Many people are missing. Lives have been lost. Help Anyone in any way you can. People need Clothing. Food. Water and much more. Everything and anything helps.
Lahaina I love you! We are resilient. We will Rebuild from this disaster.
We are Lahaina Strong
