Help Relocate Aina from Big Island!

Aloha!
My name is Maia Nagahisa. This is a fundraiser for my mother.
My mother is on the Big Island right outside the evacuation zone. Since the beginning of May, the Big Island of Hawaii has been under an emergency evacuation alert for certain areas in the Puna district. My mother lives in Puna. Although her area is not in the immediate evacuation zone at this time, she is close. The volcano is unpredictable and the air quality hazardous.
For those of you that know us, my mother has been working very hard to maintain her health and well being to the best of her ability. She is now and has been for the past year completely bed-ridden. She has been living quietly in her home with a caregiving service, family and friends tending to her needs. My mother was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma 7 years ago and has been battling this disease with strength and dignity.
I am planning to relocate my mother to the island of Oahu to live with my family and I. The move is challenging and the process complicated.
The state of Hawaii does not have a proper service to help with this kind of situation. Due to the fact that my mothers body is fragile and unable to sit up, the relocation process is all the more expensive and complicated.
They do not deem her situation an emergency, so to medevac her to Oahu would cost $10,000. We have decided to try and tape her torso and medicate her in order to get her here. However, she would be forced to sit up. Takeoff and landing could cause tremendous pain and possible injury. But this is the chance we have to take.
I'm in need of financial help to get her here.
The barge will cost $300 ( Hospital bed)
Uhaul $80
Airline tickets ( including escort) $500
Construction on my laundry room to make it appropriate for her to live in $3000 (*Necessary, my home is small and cannot accommodate my mother without the small renovation).
Construction is due to begin on Wed. and I need to move my mother ASAP. I thought I had financial backing for this process but it fell through. That is why my fundraiser deadline is so immediate.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
We appreciate your willingness to help!
With Peace and Aloha!
