Rebuilding Lives: Off-the-Grid Homes for Families Displaced by the Maui Fire
building a long-term safe community for displaced families to get back on their feet

Welcome to our GoFundMe campaign!

We are reaching out to you today with an urgent plea to support our mission of expanding off-the-grid homes for up to 4 families displaced by the devastating Maui Fire. These families have lost everything and are in desperate need of a safe and sustainable place to call home. With your generous contributions, we can provide them with the necessary resources to rebuild their lives on a donated 2.5-acre lot in Huelo, offering them a fresh start, an ocean view, and the opportunity to live in existing yurts and a tiny home with a porch.

The Challenge:
The recent Maui fire has left numerous families homeless, with their lives shattered and their basic needs unmet. Many of these families are currently living in temporary shelters or with friends and relatives, desperately seeking stability and a sense of normalcy. The lack of affordable housing options, limited resources, and the devastating impact of the fire has made it incredibly challenging for them to rebuild their lives and regain a sense of security. We must step in and provide them with the support they need during this difficult time.

Our Solution:
We have secured a generous donation of a 2.5-acre lot in Huelo, offering a beautiful ocean view and a perfect location for these displaced families to start anew. We are fortunate to have three yurts and an existing tiny home with a porch already available on the property. We plan to expand and enhance these existing structures, ensuring they meet the families' needs for safe and sustainable housing.

How Your Contribution Will Help:
Your generous donations will directly contribute to the successful completion of this project. Here's how your contribution can make a significant impact:

1. Expansion and Renovation: We aim to expand and renovate the existing yurts and a tiny home to accommodate the needs of the displaced families. Your donations will help us add additional rooms, improve insulation, and enhance the overall livability of these structures.

2. Water Catchment Systems: We plan to install water catchment systems to ensure access to clean water for families. Your contributions will help us purchase and install these systems, providing a sustainable and reliable source of water.

3. Solar Power Integration: We also intend to integrate solar power systems into the existing structures, ensuring a reliable and sustainable source of electricity. Your donations will help us purchase and install solar panels and related equipment.

4. Basic Living Essentials: We need your support to provide families with basic living essentials such as beds, chairs, kitchen supplies, and other household items. Your contributions will help us furnish these homes, creating a comfortable and welcoming environment for the families.

Conclusion:
Together, we can make a profound difference in the lives of families displaced by the Maui fire. By expanding and enhancing the existing yurts and a tiny home on this donated land in Huelo, we offer them a chance to rebuild their lives with dignity, security, and access to sustainable housing. Your support, no matter the amount, will bring us one step closer to achieving our goal. Let's come together as a community and provide these families with the hope and stability they deserve. Donate today and help us create a brighter future for the Maui Fire families!
