LAHAINA WILDFIRE RELIEF

“Aloha, my name is Ryan Cabrera and we are trying to raise some funds to get us back on our feet. As you all know, our hometown of Lahaina burned down in August 2023. We lost everything we had including our home and both vehicles.

We packed a lot of our things in our truck to escape the fire but unfortunately we got trapped inside the fire and had to abandon our truck and run through neighborhoods to escape.

I thought we were going to burn inside our truck - we couldn’t see anything but black smoke and flames that surrounded us. I told my family the only option was to get out and run. Looking at my daughters faces at that very moment just broke me. I know I’m their protector and I had to make a fast decision to make that run to get us out alive. I am so thankful we made it out alive and that’s really all that matters.

This is so hard for me to ask for help, but I have to put my ego aside and accept any help we can get in the hardest time of our lives.

Please hug and love your family.”
