Ko Phantom Fireworks tētahi o ngā kaihokohoko nui rawa atu o te motu.

I mea te Tumu Whakarae, a Bruce Zoldan, "I whakapiki ake mātou i ā mātou utu."

He maha ngā hua o Phantom Fireworks i ahu mai i tāwāhi, ā, kua tino piki haere ngā utu tuku.

"I te tau 2019 i utua e mātou tata ki te $11,000 te utu mō ia ipu, ā, i tēnei tau e tata ana ki te $40,000 te utu mō ia ipu," te kī a Zoldan.

I tīmata ngā raruraru mekameka tuku taonga i te wā o te mate urutā. I te wā i whakakorehia ai ngā whakaaturanga tūmatanui, miriona ngā Amerikana i hoko i ā rātou ake ahi ahi mō ngā whakanuinga i te kāinga.

"I noho te iwi ki te kāinga. Ko te whakangahau mō ngā tau e rua kua pahure ake nei ko ngā mahi a ngā kaihoko," te kī a Zoldan.

Nā te nui haere o te tono i kore ai ētahi ahi mura i ētahi kaihokohoko i ngā tau kua taha ake nei.

Ahakoa te teitei o ngā utu, i kī a Zoldan he nui ake ngā taonga i tēnei tau. Nō reira, ahakoa me nui ake pea te whakapaunga, me taea e koe te kimi i tāu e hiahia ana.

I haere a Cynthia Alvarez ki te toa Phantom Fireworks i Matamoras, Pennsylvania, ā, i kite ia i ngā utu kua piki ake. E $1,300 tāra tana i pau mō tētahi hui whānau nui.

"E rua ki te toru rau tāra te nui ake i tā mātou i whakapau ai i te tau kua hipa, i ngā tau kua pahure ake nei rānei," te kī a Alvarez.

Kāore i te mārama mēnā ka pāngia ngā hoko katoa e ngā utu teitei. Kei te tumanako a Zoldan mā te hiahia o American ki te whakanui i tēnei tau ka tīmata tētahi atu tau nui mō ngā pakihi.
