Pearl City Family Loses Everything in House Fire, Community Urged to Help

The Campogan family, a single mother and her four children, recently lost their home and all their belongings to a catastrophic fire. Now staying temporarily in a motel, they are facing significant challenges as they try to rebuild their lives.

The mother, Kimberly Campogan, is raising her family in the Pearl City area. Her children attend local schools, with one son at Pearl City Elementary, another at Highlands Intermediate, a daughter who is a senior at Pearl City High School, and her youngest daughter, a freshman at Mililani High School.

The Pearl City Elementary Parent Teacher Organization (PTO), along with other community members, is rallying support for the family. They are seeking assistance in several forms, including housing leads for Section 8 properties, donations for essentials, and financial support to cover daily expenses such as food and gas.

Donations can be made directly to Kimberly’s Venmo account (@MzKim713). Additionally, the PTO is collecting gift card donations at the Pearl City Elementary School office. Every contribution, no matter the size, can make a difference during this incredibly difficult time.

This is a critical moment for the Campogan family, and the community is being called upon to show its strength and compassion. Let’s come together to help them rebuild their lives.
