This is Joseph from Hawai'i’s story…

"Joseph Calaustro, Jr., also known as Boji, is a 29-year Air Force veteran that was stationed at Mt. Kaala and 15 years as an FAA Air Traffic Systems Specialist, Joseph has made a positive impact on the Waialua/Haleiwa community for many years. I have known Joseph, or “Boji,” my whole life. Our families have been close since the 1960s. His parents have both passed, and his sisters now live on Maui, leaving him here to manage things on his own.

Boji has always been someone who shows up for others. As a young man, he mentored kids who needed guidance and treated them like family. Many of them say he helped keep them off the streets. As a lifeguard, he taught children how to swim, but also how to face life with strength and confidence.

After his father passed, the home was placed in a trust. Boji has cared for that property for years while trying to have it transferred into his name. Despite the challenges, he has remained committed to maintaining the home and honoring his family.

Boji works between Oahu and Maui, traveling back and forth to make a living. After the first Kona storm, he cleaned up the property and returned to work. Then the second storm hit. His home was lifted off its foundation and pushed into his truck and a neighbor’s fence. The damage is severe, and the house is no longer safe to live in.

Now, Boji is facing the loss of his home and transportation at the same time. He has given so much to others over the years. Any support will help him rebuild, find stability, and move forward during this difficult time."
