Steele and Cester 'Ohana - Lahaina Wildfire
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Malia Baker, I'm an ER nurse at Maui Medical Center and have seen firsthand the horrors of the Lahaina Wildfire. My family was one of many others that was affected by the Lahaina Wildfire that decimated Lahaina town on 8/8/2023. My father Timothy Steele (who is currently going through his 3rd round of chemotherapy), mother June Steele, sister Kalei Steele, sister Kiani Cester, Brother-in-law Davide Cester, and 3-year-old nephew Giuseppe all became homeless and jobless that day. They lived at Kahoma Village and across Shaw Street just past 505 Front Street.
I'm beyond grateful and count my blessing that they made it out alive. The hurricane Dora winds going ~70MPH, combined with the fires only gave people minutes to rush out of their homes. My family, along with many others lost everything and only have the clothes on their backs.
Please give if you can. Anything will help them during this hardship they are having. Everything given is greatly appreciated and will be shared amongst them.
