<div>The Anana-Okamura 'ohana have called Māeaea, Waialua, Oʻahu home for generations. In March 2026, their lives were turned upside down when catastrophic flooding swept through the area. Water levels reached 20 inches inside the house, waist-high outside in the yard. The floodwaters were contaminated with gas, oil, and sewage, ruining everything it touched. Family heirlooms and treasures were lost, and the home’s interior, furniture, mattresses, and appliances were all destroyed. Everything must be gutted, cleaned, and replaced to make the home safe again.

<div> Before he passed, Uncle David Anana was someone the Waialua community could always rely on. He even took it upon himself to manage the community’s waterways and drainage systems, often working on his own to help prevent flooding before it ever reached any homes. Whenever there was a need, he responded without hesitation, providing rescue, relief, and repairs. That was simply who he was: a pillar of the community. Now that he is no longer with us, his family needs that same support. We are humbly turning to the community he cared for so deeply as they begin to rebuild.

<div>I am just one of many friends who have been blessed to know this generous and kind 'ohana. I worked with Paige Miki Kalāokananikiʻekiʻe Okamura at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa at the Institute of Hawaiian Language Research and Translation. I was the Program Manager and she was one of our Graduate Assistants. She carries on that same love for land and community that her Papa had and freely shares it with the ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi community through music and stewardship. Known as DJ Mermaid and "The girl who does things," Paige is always in the community and on the airwaves perpetuating ʻōlelo, mele, and laulima. 
</div>

</div>
<div> Their priority now is to build a secondary dwelling for Aunty Manu Anana, so she has a safe place to stay while the main house is demolished, cleaned, and rebuilt. All funds raised will be transferred directly to Paige and her ʻohana. The majority of what is raised will go toward cleaning and rebuilding, and any remaining funds will help replace essentials lost in the flood. Please help support this beloved 'ohana as they rebuild and recover from this devastating loss.
