Aloha, my name is Kimi, and my beloved son Giovani passed away in Garland, Texas. He was found in his apartment on October 10th, and the coroner believes he had been gone for over a month. Investigators believe it was due to natural causes. He was far too young to leave us this soon.

The circumstances are devastating—if only I could have seen him one last time to tell him how much I loved him. The pain is unsurmountable, and my heart is broken beyond words. I am now trying to bring him home to Hawaiʻi, so we can honor him with love and peace, and uplift his spirit so he knows how deeply he was loved and how greatly he will be missed.

The costs for his cremation, travel, and arrangements are more than I can manage on my own. I humbly ask for any support to help me fly to Texas, take care of his belongings, and bring my boy home.

Mahalo nui loa for your kindness, prayers, and generosity during this unbearable time.
