Cabading Ohana: Lahaina, Maui Wild Fire
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Matt and I’m Ennah Cabading’s fiancé. I’m setting up this GoFundMe to help the Cabading’s to help them for their long road ahead to recovery and a normal life.
On August 8, 2023 extremely dry and windy conditions from nearby storm, Hurricane Dora, made good conditions for a wild fire to start. Trees knocked down power lines and a fire quickly started and engulfed houses into flames. There was very little time for everyone to gather belongings and evacuate to safety as the fire consumed everything in its path. Thankfully the Cabading’s were able to evacuate to safe shelter. Looking at the aftermath, Lahaina Town, home to Auntie Marilou, Uncle Edward, Ennah, Ellen, Melvyn, Ezekiel, Emalee, Gerry, Eddy, Auntie Mylene, Uncle Mario, Ayden, Auntie Mila, Uncle Carlo, Uncle Chris, Melvin and Mama Cisa is reduced to ashes. During this difficult time the Cabading’s are forced to plan for an uncertain future and any donation, big or small, will help the Cabading ohana. I thank you, and the Cabading ohana thanks you for taking the time to read this.
Update August 16, 2023
Mahalos to those who took the time took the time to read our story and to those who had the means to donate monetarily, the Cabading’s and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We feel truly blessed by everyone’s generosity and we can’t thank you enough. We hope to pay it forward to those who are in need.
