Aloha! My name is Mike and we have a small family farm out in Waialua. On March 19th, the second Kona Low hit our island, bringing a large amount of rain over just a couple of days. Due to the condition of the land from last week and the water levels still high in a nearby stream, the normal path of the water was compromised, which caused the rushing water to rip through our farm. Many things were destroyed, including paddocks, a whole mala (dry kalo patch), banana trees, fencing, and mango trees, creating a river that's now dividing our land, making half of it inaccessible at the moment. Along with everything that was destroyed, a lot of work will have to go into removing the storm debris, as well as finding a way to correct the water flow. Funds will be used to fix all these damages and efforts to rebuild our farm.

If you have the means and would like to help us with the recovering and rebuilding process, we would kindly appreciate it. Mahalo for your kokua and prayers in this time.
