On Behalf of the Nakagawa Family

On Tuesday, August 8, 2023, Haruo and Lillian Nakagawa lost their home in the Lahaina wildfires. The house was passed down by Lilian’s mom Yoshiko Masuda (fondly known throughout the Lahaina community as “Grandma”). Barely escaping the fires, they had to quickly evacuate with no time to grab any of their belongings which were all lost in the fire as well. Originally from Maui, the family moved to Molokai in the 60’s and moved back to Lahaina where they’ve called home for the last 30 years. They have 3 children, Ann, Kim, and Ray, two of whom lived with them and also lost everything. In addition to dealing with their loss from the Lahaina fire, a few weeks afterward their Molokai home was broken into and vandalized. In support of Haruo and Lillian, we have started a Go Fund Me for those who would like to help the family.
