Ali’i Outriggers & Balingit Ohana
Many of you who have spent time in Ka’anapali and Lahaina know the wonderful Balingit family. Jamie and Jeni Balingit are the epitome of Aloha, and the owners of the Ali’s Outrigger Canoes. Jamie and Jeni have suffered an incredible loss in Lahaina: their fourth generation home, along with the life of their father in the tragic fire. They literally have nothing left, and the entire family is starting all over again. Jamie and Jeni have been more than an outrigger canoe company. They have served Lahaina town with many projects for underprivileged kids and counseling throughout the community. To get a sense of of the this special family, please watch this video:
Wahi, featured at the start of this video, recently welcomed the birth of his first child, a daughter. The Balingit family deserves all the aloha we can give back to them. Links to GoFundMe and direct Venmo accounts below:
