Maui Fire Relief Needed!

Aloha Friends and Family and Peoples around the World from the Valley Isle of Maui

My name is Star Fernandez Beechick. Words cannot describe the incredible loss that we are experiencing here on Maui. Both of lives and homes. It's visceral. It's overwhelming.

I would like to share with you the Santos Family plight. Sweet Julie Santos and I met on 4th of July of just this year. Julie's ever present smile was contagious. Together, we were happily enjoying our freedom together. Little did Julie and her family know that just a month later they would lose everything, however, thanks goodness not their lives. They literally fled "with the clothes on their backs." Julie expressed how the fire was suddenly upon them and almost quite literally they ran for their lives. As Julie and many others have expressed: "It all happened so quickly." The Santos Family has been a part of and an asset to the Lahaina community for a long time. Julie is retired. And her husband, Gerry still works at one the hotels in Lahaina. The devastation they will be returning to is gut wrenching. I humbly ask if you will donate to the Santos Family. Every dollar you give goes 100 percent to them. Let us speed up this long road to recovery as short a distance as possible. I will be keeping you updated and letting you know how your generosity is fulfilling their lives in the most powerful way! They are literally starting from scratch.

Mahalo Nui Loa and may Ke Akua bless you in your generous support.
