The death toll in Lahaina as of Saturday morning August 12 is 80 people. I read yesterday that recovery workers at that time had not yet entered any of the 1700 destroyed buildings.
If you want to donate, donate what you can, don’t worry about what someone else is giving. I’m sure survivors will be happier to get your contribution more than your commentary on what others have or have not contributed.
I lived on Maui in the ‘80’s & ‘90’s and visited Lahaina twice a week. The town had a charm like no other place in the world. When I saw the photo of Front Street where it crossed over the ocean, buildings on one side, the Pacific on the other, cars burned out, lined up, backed up in both lanes, my heart sank. There was nowhere to go. Trapped. You know what that means, I know what that means. Smoke, fire, searing heat.
Please show some respect.
