When Mom Can't Do It Alone.... We Step In

Aloha Friends,

At some point, nearly every family faces this moment:

A parent can no longer live safely at home.

The house is full — not just of furniture, but of memories, photos, paperwork, and decades of life. The children often live thousands of miles away. Emotions are high. Time is short. And no one knows where to begin.

In Hawaiʻi, this moment is happening every single day to our kūpuna.

I started Aloha Senior 411 because I’ve seen too many seniors and families overwhelmed, grieving, and alone — trying to figure out what to do with a home that once held their entire life.

Too often, families are forced into impossible choices:

Pay thousands of dollars upfront they don’t have

Leave a home sitting vacant and deteriorating

Sell quickly and lose hard-earned equity

Or walk away emotionally exhausted and unsure if they did right by their loved one

We believe our kūpuna deserve better.

Aloha Senior 411 steps in when families don’t know what to do next.

We gently guide seniors and their families through:

Sorting and clearing a lifetime of belongings

Donating usable items to local charities and food banks

Coordinating minor repairs and safety upgrades

Cleaning, staging, and preparing the home with dignity

Selling the home thoughtfully — often with no upfront cost to the family

One trusted point of contact. One compassionate plan. No chaos.

We do this with respect, patience, and aloha — not pressure.

Why I’m Asking for Your Help

We’ve already helped dozens of Hawaiʻi families — often funding projects out of our own pockets to protect seniors who couldn’t afford upfront costs.

But compassion alone doesn’t pay for:

Cleanouts and hauling

Safety repairs

Staging and photography

Legal protections

Accounting and compliance

Right now, families need help faster than we can sustainably provide it.

Your contribution allows us to:

Create a revolving project fund so seniors don’t have to pay upfront

Formalize our legal and financial structure so we can serve more families

Reach isolated seniors whose children live on the mainland

Keep usable items out of landfills and food on local tables

This isn’t about building a big company.
It’s about protecting dignity at one of life’s most vulnerable moments.

What Your Donation Really Does

$50 helps cover donation and disposal costs so families aren’t burdened

$100 helps fund safety cleanups and minor repairs

$250 helps a senior prepare their home for a dignified transition

$500+ helps us front costs so no senior has to choose between care and cash

Every dollar helps a family breathe a little easier.

A Personal Note

Hawaiʻi is aging faster than almost any state. Many of our kūpuna built these neighborhoods, raised families here, and now find themselves alone when they need help the most.

If this cause touches you — because of a parent, a grandparent, a neighbor, or your own future — please consider supporting this mission.

And if you can’t give, sharing this page is a powerful form of kokua.

Mahalo nui loa for helping us take care of those who once took care of us.

With gratitude and aloha,
