Help Jake & Sierra After Hurricane Lowell

Jake and Sierra and their three children live on the far North Shore of Kauai, in a community that has been hit extremely hard by Hurricane Lowell.

Their neighborhood has suffered major damage, and right now they are without water and electricity. They have been told that power may not be restored for at least a few more weeks. The damage has also greatly impacted local businesses. While many businesses are working to rebuild and eventually reopen, they have had to lay off their staff in order to recover. These employees are local people who live and work on the island every day, and many families are now suddenly without an income. Unfortunately, both Jake and Sierra have lost their jobs as a result.

They are now trying to figure out how to take care of their family without an income, while also dealing with the most basic necessities being unavailable. Through all of this, they are doing everything they can to keep things as stable and safe as possible for their three kids.

Update: We now have water that is no longer brown, and boil water advisory has been lifted. We still don’t have hot water due to the electricity being out. We are working on getting another generator. Right now we are borrowing one that keeps our fridge on.
