I’m raising money for my brother who is trying to get back on his feet after two natural disasters in Hawaii have impacted his livelihood. Here’s his story:

I’m asking for help after a sudden flood destroyed the vehicle I depend on to get to work.

I recently went through a very difficult period after being displaced by the Maui fires and had just begun rebuilding my life. I was doing everything I could to stay afloat while getting back on my feet.

Then an unexpected flood hit while I was driving into town. The water rose quickly and my vehicle became trapped. I had to evacuate immediately in the middle of the night and leave the car behind for safety.

The vehicle is now likely totaled from flood damage. Unfortunately, I am still making payments on it and recently discovered that my insurance policy had been canceled, which means the loss may not be covered.

This car was my only transportation. Without it, I cannot transport myself to work.

Right now, I’m trying to raise funds to pay off the remaining balance on the vehicle so I can move forward and eventually secure another reliable car to continue working.

Any support helps, whether through donations or sharing this fundraiser.

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this and help in any way.
