For Sam Younger and his wife Josie, Hawaii is home. But before moving to the Aloha state, Sam was born and raised in Northeast Ohio.

“I was raised in Hudson, Ohio and graduated in 2001 from Hudson High School,” Sam said.

Last week Sam and Josie had to evacuate their home after seeing never-ending black clouds of billowing smoke.Caught in the middle of the wildfires, their home on Front Street is now a total loss.“We've seen pictures of the remains of what our house and it's now completely unrecognizable,” Josie said. “It still almost doesn't feel real.”“The little front office that's gone down on Front Street, our house is gone, all our equipment, everything is gone,” Sam said.

Sam's mother, who still lives in Hudson, started a GoFundMe to help Sam and Josie get back on their feet and eventually rebuild their business. So far, over $16,000 has been raised.
