A red-letter day for the developmentally delayed community of Maui was the opening of La’a Kea Village, with gifted funds used to purchase Mele House in Paia.
Moving on from the traumatic events of Aug. 8, communities have played a key role in giving families a boost in the recovery process. One Lahaina family is moving forward
Two nonprofits, Maui Hope and the Hawaiʻi Autism Foundation, presented a $1,900 check to Lahaina resident Jhuendel Sabalo and her 8 year-old daughter who has autism. The funds were raised through a Gofundme campaign, and will help the family to purchase a car after they lost their home, vehicle and all their belongings in the Aug. 8 Lahaina fire tragedy.
