Aftermath of Hurricane Lala
Aloha,
Hurricane Lala hit East Maui Animal Refuge hard.
We lost roofs. We lost fences. We lost trees. Every enclosure was soaked… but we did NOT lose a single animal.
We flooding occurred throughout the property, including inside the cattery. Sections of roofing were torn away, trees fell onto buildings and damaged roofs, fences were crushed by falling trees, and trees are down throughout the refuge. Both sides of the property experienced significant flooding.
But through it all, every single animal made it safely through the storm.
For that, we are incredibly grateful. Now comes the long road to recovery.
A tremendous amount of cleanup and rebuilding lies ahead. Roofs and buildings need repairs, fences need to be rebuilt, fallen trees need to be cleared, and damaged enclosures and supplies need to be restored or replaced.
This is going to take a lot of time, hard work, and money. If you are able to help East Maui Animal Refuge recover, please consider making a one-time donation or becoming a monthly supporter. Monthly donations are especially helpful because they give us dependable support while we work through the recovery and continue caring for all of the animals here.
We made it through Lala. Now we need you to help us rebuild.
More information about how you can help and the impact of your donation is here.
We work with a number of other rescue organizations to assist animals in distress with nowhere else to go for help
Mahalo from the animals, staff and volunteers!
