One year ago, life on Maui changed abruptly.
Many of us will never forget August 8, 2023, and the days that followed. But today, we reflect, remember, and honor the Lāhainā we knew and loved, as well as the people who made Lāhainā Lāhainā.
Those affected by the Maui wildfires can find mental health resources at Maui Nui Strong.
As our island community continues to heal from the devastating Lāhainā fire, we find ourselves pausing to honor and remember those we have lost. Each name listed here represents a cherished friend, family member, or neighbor. Their absence leaves a profound void in our community. This post is dedicated to their memory and a testament to the enduring spirit of Lāhainā.
