Touan Luangrath has been a dedicated farmer for 35 years, with 30 of those years spent nurturing his land in Wahiawa, on the island of Oahu. Farming is not just his livelihood, but his passion and the way he supports his family and contributes to the local community. In March 2026, the Kona Low Storm brought heavy winds and relentless rain to the area, causing severe damage to many farms. For Touan, the storm was devastating—his crops of bittermelon and big eggplant were completely wiped out in the middle of his second of three planned harvests for the year.

While Touan is grateful that his farming machinery and home were spared, the loss of his crops has left him facing significant financial hardship. The income from these harvests is essential for covering his living expenses and preparing for the next planting season. Without this support, it will be difficult for him to recover and continue the work he loves.

Touan is seeking help from the community to cover urgent and immediate expenses, especially as the island prepares for another storm and this year's hurricane season. He would like to express his heartfelt thanks to anyone who comes across his story. He knows he is one of many you may consider donating to and is grateful for anyone who will even read about him. Your support, whether through a donation or by sharing his story, means the world to him and helps bring hope during this challenging time.

This GoFundMe was created by the volunteers from Help Maui Rise for the Storm Kōkua initiative and will directly benefit Touan and his bank information was added for him to withdraw directly.
