Ariel Quiroz, a wedding painter who lives with his wife in Lahaina, returned to their house to find it still standing. Several nearby homes were destroyed.
“It’s a mixed feeling and it’s so complicated,” he said. “It’s like you don’t allow yourself to feel happy and grateful that your house is still there because it’s so tragic. It’s so sad that people died there.”
Quiroz added, “We’re not selling.”
“We want to be here for the rebuild and support as best we can,” said his wife, Vanessa Castro. “And, you know, if you’re not from here, you don’t understand.”

On top of the widespread destruction and devastating loss of life, the wildfires are taking an incalculable emotional toll on many residents of a tight-knit island community who now face a hard choice: Move and start over elsewhere. Or stay and rebuild from scratch.

Aloha,
Please lend your kokua (help) by extinguishing the conversations sparking up not only about real issues but also about wild conspiracy theories, such as the ridiculous space lasers that have been trending on TikTok. But also about blame, negativity, causes, criticism, and misinformation.

There will be time for those conversations later. Right now, the message we want to share with the media and the world is: "Lahaina is closed; the rest of our beautiful island is open." We need to keep the rest of us strong for our Lahaina.

Lahaina is closed, Maui is open. I ask for your kōkua with this!

Mahalo,
Ariel Quiroz
