We are the Meyers ʻohana—my husband grew up here on the North Shore and serves our community as a firefighter. We have two young boys, Mason (4) and Liam (2.5), who are the heart of our world. Our home on Kukea Circle in Waialua was impacted by the recent flooding. We are incredibly grateful to be safe, but the downstairs portion of our home took on several feet of water. This affected our boys’ playroom, office area, bathroom, carport/patio, and yard. We’ve had to throw away most of the boys’ toys and many of the items that made our home feel like home.

We are doing everything we can to clean up and rebuild, with the hope of restoring a sense of normalcy for our boys as quickly as possible. At the same time, our hearts are with so many others in our community who were impacted even more deeply. Our goal is to ease the immediate burden not just for our family, but for others in our community navigating this hardship alongside us. Donations will go toward helping displaced families secure temporary housing, find stable accommodations, and cover essential everyday expenses during this incredibly difficult time. We have close friends and families who have lost everything, and we are committed to continuing to share and disperse funds directly to those most in need—just as we have already been doing.

We are deeply grateful for the love, support, and kindness that has already been shown to our family and our community. It truly means more than we can put into words. If you feel called to give, please know your generosity will not only help us, but will continue to ripple out to others who need it most. If you’re unable to donate, your prayers, messages, and sharing this mean just as much to us. Mahalo for standing with our family during this time.
