A family with SoCal ties had their three homes, which housed roughly 20 relatives, destroyed in the Maui wildfires.
The three homes they owned in Lahaina - which housed roughly 20 members of the family - were destroyed. They're now separated."My mom's health has been very fragile. She has diabetes, she has COPD, asthma. She needs oxygen 24/7," said Edith Jacinto, who was born and raised in Lahaina. "I thought COVID was hard. That's nothing compared to what we're going through right now.
The Jacinto family has relatives in Southern California who have stepped up, including Downey resident Shanice Dickson. "All I could think about was my family and just hoping that they were OK," Dickson said. "It's definitely been rough considering Maui is my second home.""I keep on telling myself, 'I can't believe this happened. I don't want to believe it.' Specifically, Lahaina it's such a warming and welcoming community," Dickson said. "Everybody feels like family there. To see the images on social media, the news, it breaks my heart.
