When I gave up my crown earlier this year, I wanted to highlight my hometown in my farewell. The town of Lahaina isn’t known to many, but I wanted the state/nation to see where I am proud to be from and recognize my home. After the worst natural disaster to hit Hawai’i in decades, now the world knows the devastation Lahaina is experiencing. What was once a highlight has now burned down and is no longer recognizable. Mahalo to those who have reached out. I haven’t been able to reply to all, but my parents and Roman are safe from the fires. They aren’t answering because the phone lines, internet, and power are down, but rest assured they are okay. Not everyone back home was so lucky. My heart goes out to all those affected by the fires in Maui. If you have the means to donate, please consider giving to the @mauifoodbank or @hawaiiredcross (links in bio) and support the residents and the first responders working hard to protect them. Please keep Lahaina in your thoughts and prayers. Our town may be devastated, but you can never destroy our spirit. #lahainastrong #lahaina #maui #mauifoodbank #hawaiiredcross #hawaiicommunityfoundation
