Message from Emiko,

"Thank you all so much for your generous contributions. I’ve decided to end the fundraiser early. Your support has made a significant difference in keeping my business afloat."

Gofundme Campaign for Emiko, Owner of Mise Hawaii and jewelry designer of M33Ms.
Emiko, owner of Hawaii-based business M33Ms Designs and shop owner MISE, was targeted by burglars last week. Unfortunately, the timing was terrible; Emiko had scheduled a major shoulder surgery that would prevent her from working, and she was in the process of closing up shop. Emiko worked tirelessly in the lead-up to her surgery scheduled on 12/15/23, spending days and nights preparing additional inventory during her downtime. She had planned and was prepared to open up MISE one more day post surgery, but tragically discovered that she had been robbed Wednesday 12/20.
The criminals had broken through the back door, and had taken everything: Emiko's materials, pieces, jewels, custom items, and even her colleagues' consignment pieces. They tampered with every locked drawer and even managed to crack into her safe. The security cameras failed to capture any footage, suggesting that the burglars tampered with the WiFi connection during the robbery. Although Emiko had insurance, there was only so much it covers.
As a friend of Emiko's, I am setting up this gofundme campaign on her behalf. Emiko is one of the most hardworking women I know, having built her life and career entirely on her own. She has an incredible work ethic and a heart of gold, always putting others before herself. Despite all that she has lost in the burglary, she remains focused on the missing consignment pieces and custom items that she had been working on for her clients.
Emiko is so humble that she would never ask for help herself, but I implore anyone who can lend a hand to do so now. Let's help Emiko get back on her feet so that she can rebuild her shop, install better security systems and metal gates, and restock her materials. Our support will allow her to recover and reopen her store once she has healed from her surgery.
