Emergency Relief Help

I've never had to create one of these before and I'm embarrassed to reach out and ask. Due to the overwhelming support and outreach from everyone I have created this only because I'm assisting with several individuals who were displaced and housing them at this time.

I want to note, our house was not lost, but my work place was, and will be put of work as well as all my work items were destroyed. Were currently without food, power, no ice, and water is trickling. We have no information on what to do. I have walked miles to talk to police and the national guard, and they are straight up telling me, everything is miscommunication, and they're sending us to wrong places. When we do find any sort of help, the lines are 6-7 hours wait just for a sandwich.

The roads are constantly closed, and we can not risk leaving because the fires are still flaring up.

I have 3 elderly individuals that I am taking care of, with medicines, food, clothing, and trying to find some sort of travel means for them to find a better situation.

So these donations are going not only for urgent medicines such as insulin, but also to help with out of work income, temporary housing, and basic survival needs (food/water) Estimates range from 3-6 weeks with no power.

In return, I'd like to create an image collage of Lahaina Town including shots of the banyan tree as a return thank you.

The amount of support and concerns have been so heartwarming, and amazing. I'm so devastated like so many others as to what has been lost.

If there is a way to leave some sort of contact I can message you for prints would be greatly appreciated. It may take a week or two for me to respond, but I will.

Mahalo nui loa, and Thank you graciously.
