This image describes one of many reasons I was on scene in Lahaina Immediately. This Home is my Aunty home. With her approval she asked that I post this Image in the NFT world of Web 3.
My memories of this home dates back to the day I was born. The 80s to be exact. We would look forward to coming here as the ocean resides right in the front. As kids we would play all day in the ocean and come in for dinner like clockwork. This was my summers most of my childhood.
Typing this sucks because I get caught in a loss of words. 6 generations of our family come through this Hale. Hale is Home in Hawaiian. The memories are still in our minds but the loss is significant. Yes it was Material items but the Family Tree book was burnt. Along with priceless Hawaiian Artifacts.
Aunty Healani did ask out for help and was offered 120k to rebuild from Insurance. We have done research and it is nearly double that.
Please help in our efforts to pick up the pieces and start a new chapter for Aunty. I promised her to seek truth with this ongoing tragedy. She is proud of me but most importantly I am proud of her.
She raised us to have strength and rise in adversity. I would do anything for this woman. Her age of 68 yrs old I have to help in anyway I can.
Sharing this personal story with you all was tough. But she has asked me to do so.
As I sit on the porch at the neighbors house all I smell is burnt homes. This tragedy has opened me up to write from my heart and share my life.
Thank you all for reading this and I appreciate each of you. We come with warm love and Aloha
