Perry's SIL is doing such a great job with posting the updates.

Helena and Suz, I have been hyper focused on Maui, so I have not kept up with the fires in Canada.  I will be adding that area to my prayers as well.  Thanks for the info.

Prayers for Laurie. Suz on "Maui" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maui#post-2335974 Wed, 23 Aug 2023 04:37:40 +0000 Suz 2335974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ AJ,  this is so sad. I'm glad your sister and family are ok, but even so, it must be devastating to know how badly the community has been hurt. I will certainly hold Laurie and other victims of this fire in my thoughts. As Helena notes, we are dealing with raging fires in Canada this summer also and several cities have been completely ravaged.  Helena on "Maui" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maui#post-2335951 Wed, 23 Aug 2023 01:17:12 +0000 Helena 2335951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ AJ this is absolutely heartbreaking to hear. I will absolutely hold Laurie in my most loving thoughts. Maui, and the northwest of Canada are on my mind often as we watch these horrific fires.

I will absolutely hold Laurie in my most loving thoughts. Maui, and the northwest of Canada are on my mind often as we watch these horrific fires. AJ on "Maui" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maui#post-2335933 Tue, 22 Aug 2023 22:56:50 +0000 AJ 2335933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My sister and her husband live in Maui.  Thanking God that they still have their health and residence, but many of their friends lost everything and have heartbreaking stories of how they escaped the fire. If you will allow me to ask for prayers/good thoughts for one such victim.  Her name is Laurie.  She is my BIL's co-worker. The following is taken from Laurie's gofundme page: <div> Laurie’s Story: She and some neighbors were outside watching the fire when the wind shifted and the flames came quickly toward them. She ran to gather emergency needs, and came out to see a couple of neighbors in a state of shock. Neither of them were taking actions for evacuation. It became as black as night from smoke, with cinders flying around them. We estimate at least 15 minutes were lost trying to get them to leave. She tried to get them into her car, but they both insisted on driving themselves. They wound through the neighborhood where all traffic was being diverted into town - not away from the fire! She could only see taillights. The first driver stopped his vehicle and jumped into the next car. Then they both ran to Laurie's car and got in. He said a tree was blocking the road. Photos show a large banyan tree had fallen, crushing cars; its flames making a wall of fire.</div><div> </div><div>Flames immediately surrounded her car. Laurie yelled for the others to run - she heard their doors open but did not see them again. She jumped into the flames and ran about 100 yards across a field of burning grass to the main road. A fireman and policeman were about to evacuate when they saw her. They put out the flames on her body and took her to the Civic Center, being used by Red Cross as the Emergency Shelter. That was when the voice message was sent to Perry's phone that they thought they had his wife. An ambulance miraculously got her to the Maui Medical Center in Wailuku. She was life-flighted to the Burn Center in Oahu. Much of Laurie's body suffered serious burns, a few spots all the way to the bone. She has a long recovery ahead so I ask if you are inclined, to keep Laurie and her husband Perry in your daily prayers as well as all the other Maui residents who are also facing great trials.  If you would like access to Laurie's gofundme page where there are updates on her condition, written by her SIL, as well as an ability to donate to help with their heavy medical expenses, please send me a message. Thank you. </div>
