My Friends and Families on Maui NEED your HELP!

Aloha,

I hope this message finds you well. I have tried to type this message a few times and it makes me tear up. I am in shock on what has happened on Maui. I have lived on this beautiful island now for over 17 years. My daughters were born here on Maui. My 2 beautiful daughters and myself are safe but a lot of my friends are not. As you may have heard, Maui is currently facing a devastating fire disaster that has left many families and communities in need of assistance. It looks like a war zone and is even worse than they are showing on TV. In times like these, every contribution makes a significant difference. I have a lot of friends on the West Side Lahaina and Upcountry Maui Kula that need our help. I still have a few friends that have not responded back so praying that they made it out. It could take a couple more weeks for electricity to be repaired on the West Side of Maui. I got more bad news this morning that there is a family that always helped me out whenever I asked them to do something. They are the nicest family and always helped out for nothing in return. They lost everything also and I really need to help them. I have donated food, water, and many other items to shelters. I hate to ask for donations but I truly feel like this is the next best step to be able help my friends and families I know personally that are really struggling right now. There will many others way to help but I know my direct friends that are really struggling and want to use this gofundme to help them directly and right away.

I'm reaching out to ask for your support in helping my close friends and families rebuild their lives. Your generous donation, no matter the amount, will go a long way in providing relief, shelter, and resources to those who have lost so much. I will spread the money between my friends and families that lost everything during this unexpected fire disaster. Finding places to live and have shelter because there are so many families with no where to live.

If you're able and willing to contribute, please consider making a donation to the this Emergency gofundme I have set up. Your kindness will truly make a positive impact during this challenging time. If it is only a donation to give up a coffee for one day to donate. That little donation will go a long way for these beautiful families. If you are not able to donate then Prayers for all the families in need are very important also. Please forward this to anyone you know that could help.

Thank you for your consideration and support. Together, we can make a difference and help Maui and my close families and friends recover and rebuild. I am here on Maui and I am ready to help my friends and their beautiful families recover and rebuild.

Many Mahalos,

Ryan Hansen
