This October, our incredible parents will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary — a rare and beautiful milestone that reflects a lifetime of love, commitment, and shared purpose. To honor this moment, we want to give them something truly special: a once-in-a-lifetime journey to Tahiti, French Polynesia, to attend an international event deeply aligned with their hearts and values.

Why Tahiti? Why Now?

From October 18–28, 2025, the island of Tahiti will host the World Indigenous Peoples Gathering, known as “Second Breath.” It’s more than a conference — it’s a spiritual, cultural, and healing event that brings together Indigenous wisdom keepers from around the world. Our parents have long been connected to their Indigenous heritage, community healing, and cultural preservation. Attending “Second Breath” would not only be a celebration of their 50 years together but also a profound personal and cultural experience.

They’ve dedicated their lives to others — raising a family, supporting their community, and living with integrity and humility. They’ve always dreamed of visiting Tahiti but never made it a priority while taking care of everyone else. We think it’s time they finally receive something just for them.

How You Can Help:
