<div>Subject: <strong>Help Us Support Melanie “Kehau” King in Her Fight Against Leukemia</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Aloha Family, Friends, and Community,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>We are reaching out with deep urgency and heartfelt aloha. Our Tita, Melanie Kehau King —known affectionately as "Mel" by her ‘ohana and "Kehau" to friends and the community—has recently been diagnosed with NPM1-Mutated Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), an aggressive and life-threatening blood cancer.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Kehau, who recently married the love of her life, Dino, is a proud mother of 6, grandmother of 5, a wife, daughter, sister, aunty, cousin, teammate, youth paddling coach, entrepreneur, and a deeply rooted member of our community. Her life has always been about giving—lifting others, coaching youth paddling, helping friends and family, and building her businesses from the ground up with determination and humility. <strong>Even while in pain, Kehau has never asked for help. She never complains. She just shows up.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, she needs to stop and focus on herself. She needs to malama herself—to heal. And that means we, her family and friends, must step up and surround her with the love, support, and resources she deserves.<strong> She's a fighter and she is ready to take this head on!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’ve launched a GoFundMe campaign to help offset the high cost of medical care that will soon force her to go out of state to seek specific treatment for this type of leukemia that she has which cannot be treated in Hawaii....and to also assist with personal needs that Kehau has always managed on her own. <strong>Every donation—no matter the size—makes a real difference. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing her story and lifting her in your prayers.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>This is our time to give back to someone who has spent her life caring for and giving to others.</strong> Please kokua and help us support our beautiful Tita, Kehau.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Me ka ha'a ha'a,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>‘Ohana Melanie “Kehau” King

<div>Hola me llamo Gloria Vasquez Rios, soy la mamá de Gustavo Eduardo Nigenda Vasquez, quienes muchos lo llaman como Gus, quienes lo conocen, saben que es un joven muy sociable, le gusta trabajar, reír todo el tiempo, ayudar a los demás y nunca le haría daño a alguien.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lamentablemente la madrugada del sábado pasado tuvo un incidente con una persona, al intentar pasarlo chocó con su moto ya que él estaba girando sin prender sus direccionales, y por mas que mi hijo intentó explicarle que podía quedarse con su celular y al día siguiente él volvería con dinero, la otra persona no entendió palabras y su reacción fue tan rápida que no le dio tiempo a Gus de defendersee ni evitar que esta persona lo golpeara hasta romperle la mandíbula y dejarlo inconsciente. Cuando despertó no había nadie, lo habían dejado tirado, no tenía su moto, ni su celular ni su cartera, por lo que tuvo que caminar hasta su casa, después de esto tuvo que viajar a la ciudad de Oaxaca, donde existen médicos capaces de revisarlo detalladamente y darle un diagnostico ya que en Puerto no radica ningún médico especialista en estos casos, dos fracturas de mandíbula, tres dientes rotos y dos fisuras mas fue el resultado de este ataque, por lo que al momento necesita operación urgente pero por la urgencia tiene que ser hecha en una institución privada, y para también intentar asegurar que todo salga de la mejor manera posible, por lo delicado del caso.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Únicamente por la cirugía, incluyendo hospitalización, anestesiología, quirófano, honorarios del cirujano, y el equipo médico a utilizar la cuenta sube a 100,000 pesos mexicanos, dinero con él cual ni Gus ni su familia contamos por el momento, y aunque estamos haciendo el esfuerzo de conseguirlo, nos está siendo muy difícil debido al poco tiempo. A Gus nunca le ha gustado pedir ayuda, incluso tardó un día en comentarme lo sucedido, aguantando el dolor y pensando que no se trataba de nada tan grave, pero en esta ocasión nos vemos en la necesidad de acudir a todos ustedes, amigos y familia, para pedirles que si les es posible apoyarlo para solventar los gastos médicos, mi hijo Amaury, yo, la gente que ha estado al pendiente, y especialmente Gus, les agradeceríamos infinitamente.
</div>
<div>Todo el dinero recaudado será utilizado para pagar los gastos médicos, de hospitalización, medicamentos y para la pronta recuperación de Gus.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Estoy segura que él se recuperará pronto, volverá a sonreír como a él le gusta, y prometo intentaremos devolver el favor de una u otra forma, cualquier apoyo suma, por mas pequeño que parezca lo vamos a valorar y les aseguro que hará una diferencia, si de algo he sido siempre muy agradecida es de todos los amigos que tiene mi hijo, y les pido que en esta ocasión no lo dejen abajo, porque los necesita.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Espero puedan ayudarme y desde ahora les agradezco
</div>
<div><br />

<div>Hello my name is Gloria Vasquez, I am the mother of Gustavo Nigenda, who many call him as Gus, those who know him, know that he is a very sociable young man, he likes to work, laugh all the time, help others and would never hurt anyone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unfortunately last Saturday morning he had an incident with a person, when he tried to pass him he crashed with his motorcycle because he was turning without turning on his turn signals, and even though my son tried to explain to him that he could keep his cell phone and the next day Gus would come back with money, the other person did not understand words and his reaction was so fast that he did not give Gus time to defend himself or prevent this person from hitting him until he broke his jaw and left him unconscious. When he woke up there was no one there, he had left him lying there, Gus did not have his motorcycle, his cell phone or his wallet, so he had to walk home, after this Gus had to travel to the city of Oaxaca, where there are doctors capable of reviewing him in detail and give him a diagnosis since there is no doctor in Puerto Escondido who specializes in these cases, Two jaw fractures, three broken teeth and two more fissures were the result of this attack, so at the moment he needs urgent surgery but because of the urgency it has to be done in a private institution, and also to try to ensure that everything goes in the best possible way, because of the delicacy of the case.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For the surgery alone, including hospitalization, anesthesiology, operating room, surgeon's fees, and the medical equipment to be used, the bill goes up to 100,000 Mexican pesos, money that neither Gus nor his family have at the moment, and although we are making the effort to get it, it is being very difficult due to the short time. Gus has never liked to ask for help, he even took a day to tell me what happened, holding the pain and thinking that it was nothing so serious, but on this occasion we feel the need to come to all of you, friends and family, to ask that if you can support him to cover the medical expenses, my son Amaury, me, the people who have been watching him, and especially Gus, we would be infinitely grateful.
</div>
<div>All the money raised will be used to pay for medical expenses, hospitalization, medications and for Gus' speedy recovery during the time he is unable to work.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am sure he will recover soon, he will smile again as he likes, and I promise we will try to return the favor in one way or another, any support adds up, no matter how small it may seem we will value it and I assure you that it will make a difference, if there is something I have always been very grateful for is all the friends my son has, and I ask you not to let him down this time, because he needs you.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I hope you can help us and I thank you from now on.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

Cirugía urgente de mandíbula para Gus Nigenda

<div>Hi everyone, on behalf of Nacho's "Kala" friends and family I wanted to let everyone know that sadly he passed away on January 21, 2023. He was surfing at the Cove, and once he got out of the water he was not feeling well, and once he sat down he had a heart attack. Unfortunately, the paramedics couldn’t save him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As I considered Nacho "Kala" a member of my family since I have memory, I wanted to start this GoFundMe will be used to help pay for medical, funeral service, the cremation process, and airline tickets. His brother will be flying out from Argentina to Maui to help with everything. Any donations would be greatly appreciated to be able to help cover those expenses. As I am not currently on Maui, Ignacio Amuchastegui, who was one of Nacho's best friends, will be the beneficiary of these funds to ensure they are distributed to cover the expenses.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you to everyone who was a part of his life, he will be deeply missed. We will keep everyone posted on when we will have his celebration of life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If anyone would like to share any photos/videos/memories with Nacho please send them to Leilani's email.

<div>Hola todos, de parte de los amigos y familia de Nacho, quería avisarles que el 23 de Enero, 2023 Nacho tristemente falleció de un ataque de corazón. Estaba surfeando en el Cove, y saliendo del agua decía que no se sentía bien. Y en cuando se sentó, tuvo un ataque de corazón y desafortunadamente los paramédicos no lo pudieron salvar.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Este GoFundMe, va ayudar con los gastos médicos, del funeral, cremation, y boletos de aerolínea. El hermano de Nacho también va volar a Maui desde Argentina para ayudar con todo. Con lo que sea que pueden donar estaríamos muy agradecidos para poder ayudar con estos gastos.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gracias a todos que fueron parte de su vida, lo vamos a extrañar mucho. Nosotros los mantendremos informados de cuando vamos a tener su celebración de vida.
</div>

In Loving Memory of Nacho "Kala" Veron

<div>Hello,
</div>
<div>This is Kale, Rafi's uncle.  I am putting together this fundraiser to help Rafi. He is in Bali and Broke his femur bone earlier today while surfing.
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, he did not get travel insurance, so this must be paid ASAP. He is scheduled to have surgery in the morning; then, we will need to coordinate getting his mom to Bali to make it as comfortable as possible to bring him home and start the healing process.
</div>
<div>So far, he's been quoted $28K for the surgery plus 4-5 days stay in the hospital; then, we need to get him home.
</div>
<div>If you know Rafi, then you know he is the kindest kid, always lighting up every room he enters. I am humbly asking on Rafi's behalf for help monetarily, and if you could please help spread the word and share on social media we would be forever grateful.
</div>
