Hala'i Sam Fong

Aloha, along with Shanell Altura, Dana Kunitake and all of the 'Ohana and friends of Lee Jon and Nalani Sam Fong, are fundraising for their sweet Hala'i battling Stage 4 Neuroblastoma.

In July 2022, our Kawaihala'ilanamalie, better known by her 'ohana as Hala'i developed a lingering fever, stomach pains and began to limp. While traveling back and forth to O'ahu and undergoing numerous diagnostic tests, her parents, Lee Jon and Nalani never left her side. On August 18, 2022, our sweet Hala'i was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma after a mass was detected between her right kidney and spine. Additional testing and biopsies have confirmed a stage 4 diagnosis as cancer has spread to her left thighbone and into her bone marrow.

Hala'i's first round of chemotherapy is set to start next week on September 13th at Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children. Her initial treatment plan will continue for 21 days, followed by stem cell transplants and additional rounds of chemotherapy. Despite all of the discomfort our loveable hero has endured in the last several months, she still lights up the room with her beautiful smile and joyful spirit.

We humbly ask for contributions to assist with the travel, medical expenses and subsequent bills as we support our Hala'i to beat this cancer!

On behalf of her parents, her sister Sierra , her brother Titus and all of her extended 'Ohana, we thank you for your continued prayers, generosity and warmest aloha that you have surrounded them with during this time.

Let's battle this cancer together for Hala'i...our Hero!
