Aloha, My name is Nicole (based on the mainland) and I am organizing this fundraiser to help my friend Abigail Ang (Abby) and her family who have lost everything in the Lahaina fires. Abby is a lifelong Lahaina resident, she is 8 months pregnant with her fifth baby. Any help is appreciated and will go directly to Abigail Ang via gofundme to help rebuild their lives.

Imagine the serenity of island life suddenly consumed by the relentless fury of wildfires. Picture a young family, once nestled in the heart of Lahaina, now standing amidst the ashes of all they held dear.
This is the reality for Abby and Lance, a young couple who, along with their four children lost everything to the devastating Lahaina Fires.
Abby, who is eight months pregnant, and Lance, along with their kids Maddox (7), Harper (5), Twins, Lily & Zoey (4), managed to escape the blaze. However, they lost everything– their home, their possessions, and their sense of security. In a community where everyone knows everyone, the impact of such a tragedy echoes deeply.
Abby and Lance, a part of Lahaina's fabric for generations, stand at the crossroads of rebuilding not only their lives, but their children's sense of stability and trust in the world.
The fires that ravaged Maui's landscape weren't just wildfires; they were harbingers of trauma, loss, and a long road to recovery. Abby and Lance's story is a microcosm of a community grappling with grief, displacement, and uncertainty.
As cell service and internet connectivity slowly return to the island, your support can provide the lifeline they need to rebuild. Your contribution will help them heal, piece by piece, memory by memory.
Maui's fires were more than a natural disaster; they were a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and the strength of community. As you read this, families are still searching for loved ones, and the healing process is just beginning. But within this adversity, you have the power to sow the seeds of hope.
With your generosity, Abby, Lance, and their growing family of six can rewrite their story. Your donation will be a beacon of light guiding them through the darkness, helping them rebuild not only their home but their dreams.
Any help you can give is greatly appreciated.
Keep them and the people of Maui in your prayers ❤️
