This Go Fund Me has been created for my grandparents, David and Rochelle Hoopai, who recently lost everything in the recent Kona 2 flooding on Oahu, in Waialua.

In a single night, rising flood waters swept away the home they had lived in for years, along with everything inside. A lifetime of belongings, memories, photographs, clothing, and personal treasures are now gone. My grandfather was a musician who found joy in sharing music and bringing people together, and all of his instruments and memorabilia were lost in the flood. His vehicle, which was submerged in water and mud, may no longer be usable.

While we are incredibly grateful that they are safe, he and his spouse are now displaced with only a few items of clothing they were able to escape with. As a retired couple living on a fixed income, they do not have the resources to recover from a loss of this magnitude on their own.

Donations will go to immediate needs such as clothing, food, temporary shelter, and eventually helping him rebuild what was lost. If you're unable to donate, sharing this page would mean just as much. Every bit of kindness, whether through donations or spreading the word, helps bring hope during an incredibly difficult time. Thank you for the compassion, generosity, and support.
