Lahaina Fire Relief
Donation protected
I, Andrea Dunn, am based a few miles North in Lahaina. During the Lahaina Fires, I watched overnight as the glow of the red fire burned my loved one’s and friend’s homes and our town. I cried along side them as we realized everything was lost. In addition to 100’s of lost homes, all of the businesses were burned. Many didn’t make it out safely and perished.
I am blessed that we still have our home, but for those of us who stayed on the island, it’s an uphill battle that is just beginning. With few resources and no income, but an entire community to help, I am asking for donations. The money will go towards buying supplies and rebuilding.
Specifically, once the roads open we can drive back and forth to get supplies for those most in need, clothes, shoes, toys for kids, food for pets, electronics, toiletries. The money will also go to gas, food, wind damage repairs, cleanup, and overall needs. With the money, we can be prepared for unforeseen costs like airline tickets for those who want to come help and for those who need to leave, generators, freezers, power tools, propane, gas, etc.
Almost everyone I know has lost a home, income, or both, which makes it even harder to provide assistance for each other. Your donations will help bridge the gap in lost income. Although large organizations like Red Cross do wonders, we so far have only seen outreach from locals helping locals. Jet skis came from Maalaea to give us supplies. Personal trucks came with ice from Wailuku. We still have no power and almost no government relief, so rest assured the money will be used locally.
Please donate if you can and/or share this link on your page so that others can donate. Thank you so much for your prayers. I’m truly grateful for the outreach and support.
This beloved island is also home to all of your cherished memories and life’s milestones. I’m so sorry for the heartache you feel for Maui. Let’s revive her together. Maui Nō Ka ‘Oi, Maui is the Best. Love, Andrea
