Manivong Khamphou has called Hawaii home for 40 years, dedicating his life to growing okra and supporting his community. For the first time since he arrived, he’s facing the aftermath of storms so severe that his entire two-acre farm has been completely flooded. The land he’s worked for decades is now underwater, and the future of his livelihood is uncertain.

Farming isn’t just a job for Manivong—it’s his purpose. The loss of his crops and the damage to his land have left him feeling lost and unproductive. With no harvest to sell, he’s struggling to cover daily living expenses and has no way to begin restoring his farm without help. The road to recovery will be long, but with support, Manivong can rebuild what’s been lost and return to the work that gives him meaning.

We’re reaching out to friends, neighbors, and anyone who believes in the power of community. Your support will help Manivong get back on his feet, restore his farmland, and regain his sense of purpose. Every donation, no matter the size, brings him one step closer to recovery. Please consider helping Manivong rebuild and sharing his story with others who might want to help.

This GoFundMe was created by the volunteers from Help Maui Rise and will directly benefit Manivong Khamphou.
