GUTH FAMILY EMERGENCY SUPPORT

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Louise and I am fundraising for the Guth family who recently lost their home and all their possessions in the Maui fire.
Naomi, Patrick and their children have become our extended family in Maui. After years of visiting the island, our friendships have grown and we have come to know them, kind hearts, warm smiles and their pure love of the island.

The following is the update from a text we received this morning:
  • "Later, Kamuela called with emotion in his voice saying we need to leave now,that the fire had jumped the highway and was heading our way. So we grabbed a few things, papayas, mangoes off the counter, toothbrushes and an envelope with our birth certificates and our dog and joined the line of traffic trying to get out of Lahaina. Looking in our rear view mirror, as we all slowly left are homes behind, all you could see was a wall of black smoke and hear sirens , the roar of the wind and fire and propane tanks exploding. We went to a church out in Kahana that opened their doors and had a very restless night not knowing where all of our children and their families were. Cell phones and internet were out. We were finally able to connect with all in the morning. Our house,our son lsaiah house, my sister Penny house,and niece all lost our homes."

Patrick & Naomi have three boys who are all fire fighters, battling the fire that still continues to burn. They as a family are still not safe.

Please consider helping Patrick, Naomi & their extended family rebuild their lives.
If you've ever traveled to Maui, you know how special the island is to all who visit and for those that were born there it holds an even more important space.

Keep all in your prayers & thoughts.
