The Red Cross sent photos of some of the people they have been assisting, along with their harrowing stories.
Among them were Arthur and Tara Valencia and their three children – Maele, Gabriel, and Mia. The Valencias lived in Lahaina, and loaded up their dog, Coco; their parakeet, Snowflake; and all their belongings when the ash and soot from the wildfires started covering everything nearby.
