Support the Arakawa ‘Ohana

Aloha, my name is Macy Catalano, and I’m raising funds for the Arakawa ‘Ohana. They, like many, lost their family home, belongings, and memories in this catastrophic fire which has burned down our entire hometown.

Over the last 30 years, they grew their family and lives in the heart of Lahaina. Both parents Douglas and Lori Arakawa have called this house on Waine’e Street their home since the early 90’s. Doug attended and graduated from Lahainaluna Highschool, along with both of his children Austin and Amanda. As integrated parts of their community, the Arakawa family is devastated by the loss of not just their belongings, but their neighborhood, and our beloved Lahaina. They are currently safe, but have no where to go or call home.

We are incredibly grateful for their safety, but need support as they move forward with such uncertainty. This fire has left them financially devastated and unable to purchase basic necessities. We humbly ask your help in supporting the Arakawa ‘Ohana in rebuilding their lives step by step. These funds will go to immediate use for food, gas, clothing, and living expenses. Anything you can spare is extremely useful and appreciated. With so many families in need, even $1 can make a positive change. Mahalo for your consideration, thoughts, prayers, and love.
