Post Hurricane Lowell update:
…
This is a shot of my driveway going to my house… almost every road looked(or still looks) like this!
…
The Hostel in fine! Couple small boards and a few other things that we have been planning to replace during this remodel anyway! But the entire island has trees down everywhere. Which has created a lot of power lines down as well. The island has been hit hard, but the community has banded together and we’re figuring it all out as we get through all the issues. Many people are still without running water and electricity to their homes and businesses.

If you want to donate we suggest make sure you are donating to reputable non profits or just families that are boots on the ground.
…
I am NOT trying to ask for money, but if you are unsure of who to donate to I can send you my Venmo and I will make sure to pass extra gas to a family in need. Many homes are running off generators. The multimillion dollar ocean from homes and resorts ON THE SOUTH SIDE have experienced MAJOR damage if not total loss. Those were the biggest waves on the south shore EVER! Peaking in the 30-40foot size over night Sunday into Monday.
…
We are VERY SAD to say that friends of ours lost their father during the night. He was living near the shoreline on the south side by himself watching over his families property. He is the only know fatality at this time. We look forward to celebrating his life in the near future.
…
But the island is asking visitors to stay away for some time to keep roads empty for crews to get us back online. Please tell any and all friends with plans to come here to push it back till atleast October. Most hotels are requesting September to stay away. The community is healing. The island is filled with downed trees and closed businesses… you’re not missing out on anything unless you wanna come work FOR FREE. No one is getting paid. We all just lost our tourism jobs and just helping each other from the goodness of your hearts.
…
If you are serious about disaster relief work. Message me and maybe I can help set you up with a place to stay out here.

Mahalo for all the thoughts and Prayers! ALOHA!
