Lahaina Fires_Lauren Zeva

Hi everyone,

Thank you so much to everyone who’s reached out. I’m safe now, and am beyond grateful to be here. These last few days have been absolutely devastating. So many of my friends and families, including myself, have lost absolutely everything in the Lahaina fires.

I was stranded in the middle of the fires when they hit. We had fires on both sides of us, and they consumed everything so fast. At one point when we were trying to escape, the fire came from behind and people started to abandon their cars and run for their own safety. We were constantly trying to avoid the powerlines as they were falling, and had no signal to get in contact with any of our loved ones. It all just happened so fast. At one point I had a choice, whether to try to turn towards my house and to save all of my personal belongings, or to get us to safety. I chose us, but in the process I lost everything materialistic and sentimental.



If anyone is able to donate to help me purchase necessities and get back on my feet, or even share this link, it would be so greatly appreciated.

Thank you everyone, and may God with with you all.
