Aloha, I'm creating this GoFundMe on behalf of my sister and family: Kellie, Mike, Barbara, Kadyn & Lyla. On March 20, 2026, their property in Haleʻiwa, Oʻahu was hit by devastating floods after already being hit by storms and flooding a few weeks prior. What began as heavy rainfall in the middle of the night starting on March 19th quickly turned into disaster. Without warning at 1am on Friday, everyone woke up to see the flooding occurring on the property and they started to salvage what they could, move things to higher ground, and pack up belongings to evacuate as quickly as possible. The roads were flooding, water was rushing through the neighborhood, belongings were being swept away and homes were being destroyed. It wasn't until 4am that the evacuation sirens finally went off due to the level of the Wahiawa Dam reaching its capacity. The water got up to chest level before my family evacuated but they were lucky enough to get out in time to be able to drive to a friends house to stay until the evacuation notice was lifted. They left without knowing what they would come back to.

We are so grateful everyone is safe but along with many in the North Shore Community, my family is now facing the difficult road to recovery and rebuilding their homes and livelihood. Lots of essential items need to be replaced such as furniture, appliances, kitchen items, equipment & tools. Much of the structures on property were damaged and need to be gutted and rebuilt. These structures are not covered by insurance so the cost will come out of pocket.

We are now humbly asking for support. Funds raised will go directly toward:

-Food, water, and essential supplies

-Home clean-up and repair costs

-Replacing lost belongings

-Providing temporary housing for renters on property

Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference. If you're unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser to help us reach more people.

Mahalo nui for your kindness, generosity, and support during this difficult time.
