Ouan Khamlong is a dedicated local farmer whose livelihood was instantly taken away by the March 2026 Kona Low storms. For years, Ouan has worked tirelessly to grow bittermelon, sugarcane, lemongrass, and bananas—crops that not only support his family but also nourish the community. The recent storm devastated his farm, destroying much of his harvest and leaving his fields in disarray. Most heartbreakingly, his essential farming equipment, including his tractor and generators, were ruined and are no longer usable. Without these tools, Ouan cannot plant, tend, or harvest his crops, putting his entire livelihood at risk.

The funds raised through this campaign will go to immediate and urgent needs and expenses. With your support, he will be able to restore his fields, and begin the long process of rebuilding what was lost in a matter of hours. Every donation, no matter the size, will help Ouan get back on his feet and continue providing for his family and community.

Ouan would like to extend his heartfelt gratitude to anyone who is able to help during this difficult time. Your generosity and kindness mean the world to him. Thank you for considering a donation to support Ouan’s recovery and help him rebuild his future.

This GoFundMe was created by the volunteers from Help Maui Rise and will directly benefit Ouan and his family.
