Ricardos Family - Lost Family Home Fund

Hi my name is Randy Ricardos and I’m starting a gofund me to help our family to help raise money to pay rent and our mortgage until we can rebuild our home. We are a family of 8 (3 children and 3 grandchildren.) Me and my wife left home around 1pm on August 8 to clean a room in Honokowai, We headed back home around 3:10 pm. We reached Lahainaluna road the smoke was so black and debris were flying everywhere we could'nt see the cars infront of us. We tried calling our kids to see if they were ok but didnt have cell service. We finally got home and the street next to us was already on fire. We went into our house and the kids were taking a nap they didn't know what was going on. We were not notifed via phone, sirens or police to evacute. We cosolidated in two cars leaving three cars behind and only the clothes on our backs we didnt have time to grab anything. Our main concern was to stay together and get our family out safe. When we drove down the street the only way out was Kahoma and it was on fire propane tanks exploding embers flying everywhere driving thru black smoke not being able to see where we were going. We have homeowners insurance but not enough to rebuild our home big enough to fit our family. Any donations are greatly appreciated.

Thank You Very Much!
