Like many others in the community of Lahaina and other communities that was ravaged by the fires on Maui we too lost our home and had very little to no time to collect any personal and priceless possessions. Myself and Auntie Maria were not home at the time of the evacuation but thankfully my mama Joy, my father Marlon, Uncle Rene, Auntie Nora and my Uncle Taylor made it out just in time. This house was not only a home to me, but to everyone. Many of my aunties and uncles grew up in this house under the care of my mama and late papa. They've opened their doors to many friends and family as a sanctuary for those who needed it. Although not expected any monetary relief will be greatly appreciated by my ohana, as we all are going through a very difficult and tragic time.
