We, the community, new friends and neighbors of Kona Paradise, Captain Cook, Hawaii, are starting this fundraiser for Ben Astorga and his wife, June and Relative Terri Astaude who lost their home today from a devastating fire. They just purchased their home in October 2025 in Kona Paradise and have been working nonstop to upgrade and make their home their own special place. The loss is not only the structure and sad to say this loss was not insured. So tools, building materials, and all personal items have been lost as well. They need community support and will need a new place to stay, clothing, and all essential items.

This is devastating on many levels, and our hearts go out to Ben, June and Terri. I am sure any help we can provide would be greatly needed and appreciated.
