As just about everyone in the world knows, our historic and quaint town of Lahaina was devastated by wildfires on August 8th. What most don’t know is that 14 Coldwell Banker Island Properties families lost everything, or almost everything! CBIP immediately set up a GoFundMe page, and the outpouring of donations has been truly heartwarming! I wanted to share with you a Thank You message from our Principal Broker, Steve Baker:
“I wanted to send you a note about what our CBIP Ohana has been able to provide for the CBIP families that lost everything in the fires. Initially, we were able to give each agent $2500.00 within the first two weeks, and this week, due to the generosity of many, we were able to provide another $2,000.00 to each family. We have now given out over $100,000.00 to our agents. This week we will give out 14 checks for $28,000.00 and another 15 of their children will each get a $100.00 gift card to shop for themselves, hopefully to be able to replace something that they miss the most. I want to say thank you to all for the support within CBIP.”
Support efforts on behalf of myself and other CBIP agents will need to continue for the coming months, and possibly year or two, as they walk through the journey of rebuilding their lives! We are committed to walking side-by-side with them…
