A Piper's Request for Help; Now, Thanks

[PipeIT]

@MaukaMan sorry I didn’t see your post sooner.

I don’t remember in our chats before, if you mentioned you were on the West side.

I’m so sorry for your loss, my family use to live there when we first moved to Maui. If it wasn’t back then for the difficulty of finding a place, we might of stayed there to this day.

It looks like you’re getting a lot, but I have some extras, so PM if you want some more.

Aloha!

Ive kept going back and forth between being prideful and not asking, or suffering without but I've been in a bad situation lately and would kindly like to ask you all here for some help if it is within your ability.

I am from Lahaina Hawaii and recently suffered a very traumatic wild fire. My family lost our home, and all of our possessions. We had just enough time to grab a baby bag, and our documents before the fire took everything. We are all safe, thank god but left to figure out how to put our lives back together now. Money is tight and I feel ashamed to even be asking but does anyone have a couple tins and a pipe they could spare? I find myself very lost without familiar comforts. A pipe at the end of the day was my sanctuary, a place to unwind, think things through, relax. Maybe it's just because of how stressed I've been but I miss that part of my old life. To make matters more complicated Hawaii recently banned online tobacco sales. I had a good collection of briars and a cellar of at least 6 years of tobacco, all of which is now gone and with Hawaii's laws I am unable to purchase more. My financial priorities right now are for our 1 yr old and our baby boy on the way. But if anyone has an old cob or briar kicking around that they don't use, or a spare tin, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks, Erik

if you get me your address i will send you something
