My name is Phrirom Krinsoongnoen, and together with my wife, we have spent years building our 8-acre farm in Waialua. In March 2026, the Kona Low storm hit our area hard. While we are grateful that our house was spared, our farm was devastated. We grew Filipino vegetables, mango, and papaya—crops that were not just our passion, but our livelihood. The storm destroyed everything we worked so hard for, and we also lost our only car, making it even harder to recover.

This loss has left us in a very difficult place. The farm was our main source of income, and without it, we are struggling to cover even our most basic needs. The funds raised here will go directly toward our immediate and urgent needs as we try to get back on our feet. Every bit of support will help us rebuild, replace what was lost, and start again. We are very low on funds, and your help means more than words can say.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to anyone who can offer support during this incredibly challenging time. Your support will make a real difference for us as we work to recover from this disaster.
