<div><strong>For Leo and Hermie Norberte, owners of JN  Coffee Farms</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>On the night of August 15, 2026 Leo and Hermie were woken from bed with a loud bang followed by rushing flood water quickly filling their home.  The gulch located behind their home overflowed and broke their back door in half.  With no exit route, massive floodwater quickly filled their home.  Leo, the survivor that he is broke the front window to escape the rising waters. Hawaii firefighters were called and rescued my elderly parents.  At that moment, Hurricane Lala  wiped out Leo and Hermie Norberte’s home and family coffee business. 

</div>

<div>The Norbertes have lived in that home for more than 40 years, and after the storm, they lost nearly everything except the clothes hanging in the closet. This is the home their family has known since the 1980s, a place that has long been a gathering space for family and friends. Leo is an amazing cook who loves feeding and welcoming guests, and together Leo and Hermie not only built a loving home, but also a thriving coffee business that reflects their hard work, care, and dedication. Their award-winning product is loved by many, and their customers have been a joyful part of their lives for years.  Since this devastation Leo and Hermie have been displaced from their home and business has come to a halt.  

</div>

<div> Joann is raising funds to help her parents Leo and Hermie rebuild both their family home and the coffee business that they worked their entire lives to create. Donations will help replace essential appliances, furniture, cabinetry, and household goods, while also helping restore the processing area needed to bring their coffee harvest back to life. Most of their farmland survived the hurricane, but without the processing plant within their home, the harvest cannot be used. Please join Joann in helping parents Leo and Hermie recover from this devastating loss and rebuild the home and business that mean so much to their family and community.  Thank you all for your love, kindness, and support. Mahalo.

<div>Help Support the Families of Our Employees &amp; Our Fight Forward
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve never done anything like this before. But I’ve also never faced a situation like this in my life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After 25 years of building our businesses, supporting our community, and creating jobs, we are now facing circumstances that could leave many of my employees without work.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The first and most important purpose of this GoFundMe is to help the families of my employees.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My employees have people depending on them — children, spouses, partners, and loved ones. My concern is making sure their families have food on the table and help with basic necessities while they navigate the uncertainty ahead.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I sincerely hope my employees who qualify are able to receive unemployment benefits. That process is for them. What I want to do is something separate: help their families through this transition and make sure the people who depend on them aren’t left struggling because their source of income has suddenly been taken away.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I care very deeply about these families, and after everything these employees have done for our businesses over the years, I want to do whatever I can to help the people who depend on them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The second purpose of this GoFundMe is to help with the mounting legal expenses I am facing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Legal fees have already become significant and continue to grow as I move forward trying to protect our rights and salvage whatever I possibly can from this unfortunate situation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Asking for help is something I have never been comfortable doing. I have spent much of my life trying to help others. But this is a situation unlike anything I have ever experienced, and right now I am asking our community for help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any contribution will be deeply appreciated. If you cannot contribute, simply sharing this GoFundMe can make a difference.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My priority is helping these families through this difficult time while continuing to fight for everything we have spent 25 years building.

Save North Shore Surf Shop

<div>With heavy hearts we share the loss of sweet Kalena who passed away at just 16 years old. Kalena was in a tragic car accident driving on Pali Highway, Oahu on June 18th, 2026.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Kalena was a courageous, strong, creative, and adventurous soul. She was ambitious, driven and determined. She had her future mapped out and was well on her way to executing it. She loved exploring the world and discovering treasures in any second hand stores she could find, and she found joy in serving at the nearby food bank.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Most of all, Kalena was a deeply loved daughter to Rick and Alicia, a cherished sister to Kai and Kekoa, and a beloved granddaughter, niece, cousin, and friend. Her kindness, laughter, free spirit, and loving heart will leave a lasting impact on the many lives she touched.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Kalena loved this island and gave to it in her own quiet ways. This fundraiser was created to support the Abelmann Ohana as they navigate this sudden and tragic loss. Contributions go toward funeral and memorial expenses and any amount beyond that will be directed to local causes and organizations that reflect her passions and spirit.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Abelmann Ohana is grateful for the love, prayers, and generosity our community has shown. Mahalo, from the bottom of their hearts.
</div>

</div>

Support for the Abelmann Ohana After Tragic Loss

<div>On May 30th, my son Kekoa Tamale, a 23-year-old Hawaiian/Tongan Waimea Valley lifeguard and aspiring musician, was brutally attacked on the North Shore, along with a 15 year-old Hawaiian boy, an honor-roll student and all-star athlete. Both were kicked and beaten unconscious and almost drowned by a group of 20 teens and adults.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Both Kekoa and this young boy were rushed to the ER with severe injuries. Kekoa suffered broken hand and eye sockets, had plastic surgery to reconstruct his eyelid, a concussion, and bruising all over his body. The young boy suffered a broken nose, concussion, possible loss of vision in one eye, loose teeth, and a severe knee injury. Out of respect for his privacy and his family's wishes we are keeping the 15 year-old victim's identity protected.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They are both now recovering at home under close medical supervision, and lucky to be alive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To add insult to injury, the attackers, who had filmed the entire incident, took the time to edit and create a whole reel of the attack, glorifying the violence, and posted it to TikTok. We're actively in investigations to identify all the attackers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They didn't deserve any of this, and do not deserve to suffer the fall-out of such a senseless and evil act. Kekoa and this young boy have a long road ahead of them and I'd like to ask our communities' support in helping them recover. If you are able, we are collecting funds for medical and legal costs, and Kekoa's lost wages while he recovers. Any help is greatly appreciated to help them get back on their feet.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All donations will be split equally between Kekoa and the young boy 50/50.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mahalo nui loa and Malo au pito for your help.

Help Kekoa and Young Teen Recover from Brutal Attack

<div>Aloha, please consider making a donation to Marck Aphay and Merrily Cazimero, who lost their home to the devastating Kona low storm that ravaged much of Waialua. The flood destroyed the couple's house of more than 12 years after tearing it from the ground and pushing it directly into Waialua Bridge. While they wait to see what they can do, the two and their family are helping their neighbors who also lost their homes, demonstrating incredible resilience and generosity during an overwhelming crisis. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The couple and their children would greatly appreciate any contribution. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Mahalo nui and aloha.

Help Rebuild Marck and Merrily's Home in Waialua

<div>My name is Joeffrey Balanay, and I am a farmer from the Waialua/Mokule’ia area of O’ahu. I am raising funds for immediate and urgent needs as my farm was disastrously hit by the recent March 2026 Kona Low storms.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am a Filipino sugar cane farmer. As you may know, sugar cane has been a staple crop of Hawai’i for hundreds of years. About 4 years ago, I became a sugarcane farmer after finding out I was diabetic; before that, I harvested okra, papaya, banana, lemongrass, &amp; bittermelon, to name a few. I often bring my sugarcane harvests to farmers markets where I can sell the juice to my community; I love seeing people walk away with big smiles on their faces after trying my natural sugarcane juice. It brings me joy and happiness to see both young and old customers enjoy my sugarcane. As much as I enjoy and love being a farmer, when I’m not working in the fields, I also enjoy spending time fixing up and working on vintage Volkswagen cars like bugs and dune buggys. It keeps my mind sharp and is a good break from being out in the fields all day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>However, all of that changed when the storms hit.</strong> The heavy rain washed away all the crops in my fields—all my sugarcane lost. The winds and intense flooding tore through the shack that I built to shelter my car projects; the cars are now severely damaged and unsalvageable. I could not save any of it and am left devastated. These were my passions, the loves of life; two things that brought me so much joy and meaning. Both of them gone away with the storms.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because of this, I humbly turn to my community for support as I begin to recover all that I have lost. Thank you so much to those who have taken the time to read my story as well as those who decide to share it. Please know that any contribution, big or small, is deeply appreciated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This GoFundMe was created by the volunteers from Help Maui Rise for the Storm Kōkua initiative and will directly benefit Joeffrey Balanay and his bank information was added for him to withdraw directly.

Help Joeffrey Restore His Farm and Passions

<div>Aloha everyone,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Kamalani Pico, and alongside my sister's best friend, Joreen Kepa. We are coming together to start this GoFundMe to support the Heimuli family during this devastating time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Deisha Lei, her husband Martin, and their five children- Taleah, Sotia, Teia, Tenelle and Taimani- was displaced from their home and lost nearly everything inside due to severe flooding and mold contamination on the island of Moloka'i.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They are a family of seven, with two children in high school and three in elementary school. In a matter of hours, their lives drastically changed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Deisha is a special education teacher at our local elementary school and someone who has always shown up for others. She volunteers and supports families in need and is always giving back to her community every chance she gets. During covid she helped organize food drives and when the Lahaina wildfire devasted Maui she was one of the first to take supplies over by boat to help affected families. Martin volunteers his time coaching kids soccer and high school football. Now they are the ones who need help. Their home received major water damage and due to severe mold contamination almost nothing inside could be saved. They lost their beds, clothing, furniture, kitchen appliances and every day essentials. They are truly starting over from nothing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>One of their daughters, Tenelle, has an underlying health condition which makes this situation even more challenging. On top of everything, their small family business has also been impacted.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Moloka'i is a tight-knit community with very limited resources. We don't have access to major stores like Costco, Target, Walmart, Home Depot. We rely heavily on barge shipments for basic necessities. Additionally, with so many families being affected during this time, resources have been stretched thin and are extremely limited, making recovery even more difficult and slow.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is not easy for Deisha and Martin to ask for help so we are doing it for them. They are the kind of people who are used to helping everyone else, but right now they need the support of others to get back on their feet to provide stability for their children.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are able to donate, no amount is too small. Every bit of support helps. If you're unable to give, simply sharing this fundraiser and keeping them in your prayers would mean the world to our us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mahalo nui loa for your kindness, support, and prayers during this time.
</div>
