Bless our Palu Siblings

Hi my name is Elenoa,

I am the First Cousin of Beloved Lute Fekitoa and Naomi Cook.  My relation to Lute and Naomi is through their Mother, Lupe she is the Eldest Sister of my Father Poiloti and his Siblings.

The reason I organized this fundraiser is because I am asking for your help. If you know my Cousins no matter what they are going through in life they will continue to smile and not show their pain, they will never show their struggles and keep it hidden behind their smiles and will always be there to help anyone wherever they can help. I am humbly and kindly asking for your help from all our families and friends near and far to lift some weight from my Cousin’s heavy hearts during this tough time.

On the evening of March 1, 2022 is when I last seen my Cousins, Lute her Husband Maikolo their only daughter Atimata (9), Lute’s younger Sister Naomi and her Husband Boso and their 2 Children Keola James (13) and Ella “Lia” (10). They were loading up and getting into Naomi’s Black Sedan and had departed Auburn, Washington to travel to Las Vegas, Nevada But on the following morning of Wednesday March 2, 2022 were all involved in a Deadly Car Accident and due to this Tragic Car Crash their road trip to Las Vegas did not happen. This all took place in Fresno County, California.

My Cousin Lute, her daughter Atimata “Ati” (9 yo) Lute’s Sister Naomi, her Son Keola “KJ” (13 yo) were all passengers in the vehicle during the Car Accident and they did not survive. The only survivors from this tragedy is Naomi’s husband Boso and their youngest daughter Ella Cook (9 yo) and Lute’s Husband Mikolo, All 3 are currently in the Fresno Community Hospital undergoing medical operations and tests. Naomi’s Daughter Ella is the only Child that survived in the tragic car crash and Ella also has a Heart condition and Asthma so she has to be monitored closely. 

Lute, Naomi, Maikolo, Boso and the 3 Kids had planned to make a quick stop in Los Angeles, California to help out out a a family member pick up last minute supplies from L.A. unfortunately that stop in Los Angeles and their road trip to their destination to Las Vegas, Nevada did not happen.

I grew up with Lute, Naomi, Fono, Sila, Liliani, Fanga and Mikaele and my whole life after their parents Saia and Lupe Palu passed away, they were raised by our their uncles and aunts and my father Poiloti was one of them who stepped in as a parent.  We’ve lived together and were raised together in Hawaii I’ve always watched them act so Selfless and are ALWAYS helping others, LITERALLY! No matter how hard my Cousins’ Financial situations were and their Health conditions, battling Cancer and during their own hardships none of these Hardships did not stop any of the Palu Siblings from putting ALL of their struggles to the side and helping family with whatever they needed and showing up to support anyone whether you were family to them a friend or even a stranger, the Palu Siblings will help you with no hesitations. The Palu Siblings always were so dedicated to helping from Family events to Church events whatever they could partake in to offer their help they were there!

Just an Example of their Selflessness is the reason Lute, Naomi and their little families were on this road trip they were traveling to Las Vegas to help an Aunt who resided in Las Vegas for a funeral. Naomi and Lute and their other Six Siblings lost their Mother and Father at a very Young age in the years 1996 they lost their Father than in the year 2000 they lost their Mother. Fast forward years later they lost their Sister Stephanie in 1983, than their other Sister in 2006, 1 of their brothers passed in 2018 and in 2020 the youngest of them all was hospitalized due to COVID-19 and was on life support but Miraculously fought out of her Coma and is living life one day at a time, now March 2, 2022 our Palu family lost Lute Fekitoa, her daughter Atimata, Naomi Cook and her Son Keola Jr “KJ” in the tragic Car Accident.

My Cousins, the Palu Siblings has been through so many Heartaches and pain yet during these Hardships not once have they stopped Helping other people. They could never say “No” when one has asked them for help, so I’m trying my best to come together with family, friends, and the public to give back to them and help ease their minds and lighten the weight on their heavy hearts. My Cousins the Palu Siblings would not ask for help because they never want to burden anyone’s family So on their behalf, I am Organizing this GoFundme and asking for your help out of pure love for them and with this Fundraiser I hope to come together with everyone and anyone all over the world anyone that will hear my cry for my First Cousins Sila, Fono, Liliani, Fanga and Mika to help bring their Sisters and their Childrens bodies from Fresno, California back home to Auburn, Washington and lay them to rest peacefully and to also help with some medical expenses for Ella, Boso and Maikolo. Although no amount of money can bring my Cousins Lute, Naomi and their Babies Atimata and Keola Jr. back to life I know the Donations from this fundraiser will help their family be at some type of ease financially.

These days everything has been hard on families especially during the Pandemic and I understand if you’re unable to help, anything is appreciated even your prayers and kind words of encouragement are appreciated. All funds donated will go directly from myself to Sila, Fono, Liliani, Mikaele and Fanga Leka for ongoing expenses, provide proper celebrations of life for the family and hospital bills. Thank You all so much for your support, thoughts and prayers.     

May God bless you all
