Help MeKayla Rebuild After Tragic Accident

Donation protected
Aloha, my name is MeKayla. I was born and raised in Hawaii, and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart. On January 19, 2024, my entire life changed forever.

That day, my papa and I were driving when he noticed a drunk driver speeding recklessly. We pulled over to stay safe, but the driver still crashed into us at full speed, slamming our car into the bushes. The impact was devastating — the trunk and back seat were crushed into the front seats.

I suffered serious injuries:
• Head trauma
• Broken ribs
• Long-term memory loss
• Punctured lungs

Worst of all, my papa — my protector, my family — passed away from the crash. Losing him has left me completely heartbroken.

Since the accident, doctors have told me I’m unable to work. I’ve applied for social security disability, but I’ve been denied twice already. Right now, I’m surviving only on EBT, with no income and no way to support myself as I heal, physically and emotionally.

I’m asking for help because I don’t know where else to turn. Every dollar will go toward:
• Basic living expenses
• Transportation to doctor visits and treatments
• Building a fresh start and finding safe, stable housing

Your kindness can help me rebuild my life after so much loss. Even if you can’t donate, sharing this with others would mean the world to me.

From my heart, mahalo for reading this and considering helping me during the hardest time of my life.

I lost a year of my life, my ability to work, and my papa. I’m asking for $30,000 to cover the basic needs of living, medical treatments, and to get back on my feet.

God Bless You
MeKayla
