Help Support Kailani's College Journey to the UK

My daughter Kailani has the incredible opportunity to study English Literature and Creative Writing at the University of Leeds in the UK, a dream she’s worked tirelessly to achieve. While this opportunity is full of promise, it comes with financial challenges.

After years of dedicated work in nature conservation, my career recently took a sudden turn, leading me to explore other options. The financial impact of my unexpected career shift has made it difficult to provide the support my daughter needs for her education. I have stepped into a new avenue with Hibiscus Studio Art, which holds great promise, but it will take time to become a sustainable source of income. While my daughter has been working hard and saving up to contribute what she can, we could use some help.

This is why I am reaching out. This campaign is about turning an unexpected challenge into a meaningful opportunity. If you believe in the power of storytelling—whether through words or art—your support will make a profound difference in shaping our future.

Donations will help cover educational expenses like fees, books, dorm and tuition for my daughter. To secure her enrollment, we aim to reach our goal by August 15, 2025. Every contribution, big or small, helps us take this important step forward.

Thank you for being part of this journey. For donations over $100, I will send a personal card featuring one of my artworks—a small but heartfelt token of appreciation for your support. Mahalo for your consideration!
