We are raising money for recovery efforts of our precious Alohalani, the residency property where we disciple and serve for Hawaii Leadership Residency, a nonprofit launched from Makanalani. Our area, the North Shore, was hit quite hard by the recent Hurricane Lowell. Large trees like Banyans, Rubber Trees, and invasive Albizias are fallen and scattered around our property, and quite costly to remove. Further, many of our equipment/belongings (incl. cars, tables & chairs, a gazebo) were hit by the storm. Our Bakery also experienced some flooding.

Miraculously, surrounded by giant uprooted trees, our meager wooden cross still stands. Shoutout to Gavin & the c/o summer '25 boys who built it.

3 times a year, we run semester-long sessions out of Alohalani where young adults serve the island by helping at Makanalani Kids Camps, farming & landscaping, running a farmer's market, community outreach; all alongside Biblical leadership curriculum taught by pastors and leaders from here and around the world. Our residents are sent back into the world to bear the Gospel and lead through service wherever God calls them.

All funds will cover HLR's recovery from this storm-- whether towards labor, tools, or materials. To everyone who has donated so far through our main link, and to everyone who may donate through this-- Mahalo Nui.

Aloha, Grace & Peace,

Noah & HLR Team
