This gofundme is being created for my son Chance Swanson. On November 5, 2025, he was attacked by a tiger shark while surfing in Hanalei Bay, Kauai. Chance is a well-respected lifeguard and surfer, and one of the humblest people you will ever meet. He embodies the true spirit of Aloha, and is a shining star, always happy and smiling.
The first responders on the scene did a fantastic job which ended up saving his life. Chance sustained series injuries to his left leg. Doctors are uncertain and predict a long road to recovery. Chance needed to be medevac'd to Queens Medical on Oahu for further treatment. His insurance will only cover a portion of this treatment, leaving him with an uncertainty of bills ahead.
Mahalo for all the love and prayers for Chance sent to me and my family. I am humbly asking for your support to help out with future challenges. We are so Blessed that Chance is here with us today.
Mahalo for any help that you are able to send. My family and I will be forever grateful
Love and Aloha,
Rose
