CARIÑO OHANA Lost Home in Lahaina Wildfire

Aloha, dear friends and supporters,

We came to you today with heavy hearts and a profound need for assistance. We are residents of Lahaina, a tight-knit community that has been struck by the devastating force of a wildfire. Our family has suffered immeasurable losses, and we are reaching out to you, our extended community, in our time of need. We humbly ask for your support as we navigate this challenging journey together. Your kindness and generosity mean the world to us, and we extend our heartfelt Mahalo for your Kokua - your help and assistance, as we work to rebuild our lives.

The flames of the wildfire engulfed our beloved home, consuming not only the structure but also our cherished memories and possessions. The devastation was swift and merciless, leaving us with nothing but the clothes on our backs and a deep sense of loss. As we stand amidst the ashes of our former life, we find solace in the knowledge that we are not alone, and that our Lahaina community stands strong in solidarity.

The path to recovery is a long and arduous one. We are determined to rise from the ashes and rebuild our lives, but we cannot do it alone. Your contribution, whether big or small, will make a significant difference in our journey towards recovery and renewal.

The funds raised will provide us with immediate relief, enabling us to secure temporary housing, purchase essential clothing, and obtain the basic necessities required for day-to-day life. With your generous help, we aim to rebuild our home. This includes replacing Lost: Many sentimental and essential material were lost in the fire, including important documents, and personal belongings. Your support will help us replace these items and start afresh.

Caping with the trauma of losing everything is an ongoing challenge. Part of the funds will be allocated to counseling and mental health services for our family, allowing us to heal and move forward with strength and resilience.

We understand that not everyone can provide financial assistance, and we value any form of support you can offer. Whether it’s spreading the word about our story, donating clothing or household items, or simply keeping us in your thoughts and prayers. In times of adversity, the true essence of a community shines through. Lahaina has always been a place where neighbors support one another, and we are deeply grateful for the love and solidarity we have already witnessed. We believe that together, we can overcome this ordeal and emerge stronger than ever before.

Mahalo for your Kokua. Your compassion and generosity are a testament to the Aloha spirit that defines Lahaina, and we are forever thankful for your support.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Carino Ohana
