The Lahaina Fires - Excerpt from Don's Experience

The day after the fires, one of our neighbors took his moped and drove into Lahaina.  The police tried to wave him off, but he kept going.  He took a bunch of pictures and videos and showed them to us when he returned.  Everyone in the neighborhood was squeezing in around him trying to look at his phone.  Sure enough, pretty much the entire town had burned down.

Think about this – there were no gas stations, no grocery stores, and no restaurants.  Everything was closed, because even the stores that didn’t burn down didn’t have power, and for the first week the roads were mostly closed so you couldn’t go anywhere.

Local volunteers started stepping up, gathering donations and making supply runs.  Various distribution hubs started popping up all over the place.  The locals organized and ran it all – the State and Federal governments were nowhere to be seen.

The people in Lahaina are in need.  Some of them lost everything, and they could use your help.  If you can find it in your heart, please consider donating to one or more of the following charities.  The road ahead will be long, but with your help, the good people of Lahaina will recover and rebuild.  #LahainaStrong
