Maui - Lahaina Emergency Temp Shelters

We are a 501c3 Non Profit, funds are being used to purchase containers and matrerials.

This is for the families in Lahaina. 1,000 homes destroyed, over a 100 lost lives, a horrible unexpected heartbreaking disaster. Families are displaced.

Many are still sleeping in cars at their burnt down property. People don't want to leave their land. We are organizing temp shelters that will be brought and placed in the Lahaina area for families to live in. These container homes will be donated to these families. We will build as many as possible with the funds raised. Funds will only be used for hard expenses. Labor will be volunteer. Fund use will be transparent.

As you know it usually takes the Government a while. Which means it will be a while before there are shelters in place for the families. We can get these built right away and placed. We are already organizing the purchase of containers this weekend that can be shipped Monday (8/14/23) and would arrive on Maui Wed (8/16). There will be continuous shipping dates there after. So we can constantly keep shipping over. We are purchasing the windows and doors for the containers from Home Depot this weekend and they will be shipped in the containers. We will build these extremely quick and place them in Lahaina starting next week.

Please help in anyway you can we are a 501c3 organization. We will be very transparent as to the use of funds, document the whole process on our IG page, and welcome many volunteers, to stretch the donations as far as we can. Our team has built over 100 container homes in the past, some used as emergency shelters for the homeless and have experience in getting these built in literally 2 days.
