Darlene and Ty Affected By Lahaina Disaster
Donation protected
Aloha.
We are Darlene and Ty. We met three years ago during the Pandemic. We were living a simple and beautiful life on the West Side of Maui when disaster struck on Tuesday, August 8, 2023 . . . the Maui Wild Fires.
While we did not lose our residence, both of our jobs were tied to tourism. I am a store manager of a gift boutique and Ty is a licensed massage therapist in the Kaanapali Resort area of Lahaina. Due to the recovery effort, there are no longer tourists in the area where we live and “worked” and are seeking relocation.
We need to keep busy and continue to work.
We need financial assistance to relocate and to assist with basic needs. I am currently driving 40 miles one-way 3 days a week to work. Ty currently has no work as the Spa he was working at shut down.
We need to relocate to get back to our simple and beautiful life together and find new jobs.
It is going to be a long and arduous road to recovery for Lahaina and all of those affected.
Any help comes with gratitude and great appreciation. ❤️
Mahalos,
Darlene and Tyrone
