Aloha friends,

I've never asked my community like this before. I'm reaching out with an open heart because I need help during a really challenging time.

You know me through the women's circles, workshops, storytelling, and ancient Hawaiian teachings of Living Aloha that I've shared for years—helping women reconnect with their inner wisdom and move forward with more clarity and trust.

Here's what's happened:

At the end of 2025, I was injured in a workplace accident for a part-time job I was doing that was mismanaged and that denied me the treatment I needed to recover from the fall. It left me in pain for nearly four months, that I am still recovering from, and I was not given any compensation for the lost wages from that experience, leaving me in financial instability.

At the same time, the vision conditions I have been living with have gotten worse. The physical injury and emotional stress from the accident also aggravated them. I have Irlen Syndrome, a neurological light-sensitivity condition that makes looking at computer screens extremely difficult. Without the proper tinted lenses to filter the light, screen time causes severe eye strain, physical and emotional exhaustion, and stress on my nervous system. I do not currently have the lenses I need.

I also have age-related macular degeneration. I am already blind in one eye, and my good right eye is beginning to show early signs of deterioration, which honestly scares me about the possibility of losing my remaining vision. With the proper lenses and vision support products, I can stabilize this condition and even improve my vision.

Running my online business requires many hours of computer work each day—emails, promotion, and communication. With the vision challenges I live with, and the way the physical and emotional stress from this accident has aggravated them, I am realizing that I can no longer manage all of this work by myself. I now need to hire a virtual assistant to help with many of the day-to-day computer tasks in order to continue doing this work in supporting women

For most of my life I have been something of a lone wolf, believing I could take care of everything on my own and not burden others with what was going on in my life. But this moment has become more than I can carry alone, and without biological family to lean on, I am having to reach out to my community of friends for help.

What I'm asking for

I'm raising $6,000 to create a 3-month bridge through this unexpected period while I heal and get back on stable ground again. This will cover late unpaid bills, still from the accident (car payment due March 14), the updated Irlen lenses and vision tools I need, a part-time virtual assistant to handle computer tasks, and basic living expenses until I can create financial stability for myself again. I am also in the process of applying for substitute teaching positions to help bring in some steady income as I stabilize.

$1,000 by March 14 is a priority right now to catch up on several overdue bills from the lost income after the accident - keep my car from being repossessed after March 14, as well as keep my phone and internet still on — all of which I rely on for work and daily life.

Kumu Mahealani Kuamo'o Henry entrusted me with these teachings - and now that she is ihe the spirit realm, to help them out to the world when they are so needed.

Will you help me continue in being able to do that?

Any amount makes a difference. If you can't give, sharing with someone who might is just as powerful.

Mahalo for reading this and for being part of this community.

With aloha and gratitude,

Kaleo Wheeler
