A GoFundMe has been launched to help the Irish father of two, whose family lost everything in the Hawaii wildfires, rebuild his life.

Peter O’Riordan’s aunt, Noelle Twomey, appealed to people to donate whatever they can to help her nephew, originally from Cork, but who runs a boat hire company on the Hawaiian island of Maui, and who has been working frantically on the aid effort in his devastated town of Lahaina which was razed in the deadly August 6 wildfires.
