I'm raising funds to help me get back on my feet after several setbacks the last few years. I ended up living in my car and now a temporary shelter. There's a picture from the shelter, I'm in a steel trailer it's very hot. My cat is boarded and part of my debt is to repay the kindness of her care, and I take my service dog out daily when it's 86 and up in the 90s.

November 9th it'll mark 3 years since I lost my miracle son at 5 years old after brain surgery. It was just him and I for more than 3 years as I fostered him and then the State of Hawaii helped with the adoption since he was thriving and I became his bonus Mom with full parental rights. I saw him turn 2, 3, 4, and then 5. We had our best life and it fulfilled the purpose the home was bought for, to raise a family through adoption. He had hydrocephalus and that caught up with him unexpectedly November 2020. I haven't been able to honor him or my Dad with their memorial services yet due to continuing crisis's with the pandemic and lacking financial support. 

I will never recover from losing Mana. I have to go on. Before he passed I lost my Dad months before, my last living closest family member active in my day to day life. A month later my tenant moved to senior housing and with COVID going crazy I had to lose this income to keep my son, quite vulnerable, safe from interviewing strangers and potentially giving him COVID. After his death I had no income or financial assistance.

I'm getting treatment for cancer, my 3rd one, but caught early surgery saved me. I've had reconstructive surgery on my face and need more reconstructive surgery in the future. My Dr will not let me work without clearance from an Occupational therapist. I have repetitive joint disease due to osteoarthritis in all my joints. But I'm determined to find freedom and independence. I have a deep faith in God and I want to honor my late son with his story of survival in spite of his many special needs, he always smiled!

I need to sell stuff in the storage units and I can't access them as I fell behind the payments in June.

I need housing but first I need to save storage of household goods that sadly I had to store my Son's and my Dad's ashes in as well my late son's special equipment I want to use to help others. I can help in some ways others with special needs especially children since I can't lift too much.

I am an avid photographer and I can sell my art when I can get out of the shelter or living in my car. The storage need is $4000 payable to Extra Space Storage in Pearl City ASAP due to auction on the 26th.

Please help me find someone or someone's who are able to assist. I don't want to burden my loved ones and friends or anyone but I need help. Housing at 2 months with utilities was $2800/mo for a small apartment. I'm over a year behind on my car registration and I owe a small amount for pet boarding my cat miss Lily Yinyang born May 2011.

My photography, some is displayed on Facebook at Cats Corner of Hawaii. It's meant to inspire which I hope to do with my life. Thank you for listening it gives me Hope.
