We are asking for support to help Ciara Simmons and her spouse, Pono, who are facing an unimaginable loss after Hurricane Lowell hit the island of Kauai Monday night. In the storm, Ciara and Pono lost their home and their cars, and now they are trying to navigate this devastation while also caring for their daughter, Lyla. In an instant, so much was taken, and they are now in need of the basic things to help get through each day and begin finding their footing again.

These funds will help relieve some of the overwhelming stress Ciara and Pono are carrying, offer comfort in knowing that support is there, and give them a starting point as they begin to rebuild their life after losing so much. Right now, what matters most is making sure Ciara, Pono, and Lyla have help during this incredibly difficult time. Please consider supporting Ciara, Pono, and Lyla and surrounding them with love, compassion, and practical help as they work to recover and rebuild.

As we all know, many people have been affected by this devastation, and it is going to take much time to heal. Every act of kindness means so much right now. Thank you for standing with Ciara, Pono, and Lyla during this heartbreaking time. Kauai strong forever.
