Lahaina Family Funeral and Honoring Costs

Dear Community:

EMERGENCY REQUEST PLEASE READ:

I am trying to raise immediate needed funds for my friend's family on Maui, who have experienced enormous traumatic loss in this nightmare of trauma and terror in the Lahaina fire. My prayer is that we offer our strength and support, to lessen the unspeakable suffering, and hold up this beautiful community.

His family members body is in the morgue and remaining family is told they only have until tomorrow, to make enough money for the funeral, or the storage cost will multiply significantly. The cost of storage in the morgue and burial, has been raised on Maui at this time of need, costing many thousands of dollars or the state takes over the remains which is utterly devastating and plain unacceptable. Traditionally, burial is sacredly significant in Hawaiian culture.

I am reaching out to my community, asking you if there is any way you can help bring loving healing energy of support, to lessen the suffering, with a financial donation. They need to raise $8500 today, for the burial site alone.

Please help to lift up and hold up this family with this embrace of support. Please donate anything you possibly can with fullest heart and generosity.

100% of what is donated will go directly to the family.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Mahalo Ke Akua

Thank you

Ella
