Help the Kubo Family Overcome Heartache and Loss
Donation protected
Aloha,
My name is Brandon Obatay, and I am asking for a little kokua from friends and the community. Over the past year my family has suffered heartache after heartache, with the losses of three very close people.
If you are from Kaneohe, and know the Kubo Ohana, George, Jeff and Kim, you’d know they type of people they are how loving they were to their friends and family. Unfortunately, early last year, we lost my Uncle George so suddenly and unexpectedly. As if that was not enough pain, over the summer we would lose the matriarch of our family grandma Jonelle Kubo. Earlier this year we lost Uncle Jeff, as if we didn't suffer enough in one year.
These three, have played a huge roll in my families lives. Any time we needed anything, whether it would be a place to stay, money for rent or food, or even just someone to talk to, we knew we could always turn to them. With them being in Heaven now, it has left a scar and huge hole in our hearts, and a heavy financial burden. My aunty Kim who was the care giver and the strong one of the family has be really struggling to keep up with everyday life and especially with the rent and caring for her daughter and grand daughter. She is tired, drained, emotionally done with everything, but still fighting through it all to provide what she can for them.
I rarely ask for any kind of help from anyone, my family has always been one to persevere and overcome any obstacle that is thrown at us, but we are out of options, and I want to give back to them the best way I can since they have always given so much love to my family even the times we didn't deserve it. Grandma was the matriarch of the family, and my uncles played a huge role of being like my father figures. Now, its my turn to be that person they have always been to me.
Anything is appreciated to help my family with this, and most of you know the big heart I have for helping people, this time its a little hard for me to do on my own.
I want to thank you all in advance, and I'm sure my family will be very grateful for everything, and I will remind them that there are reasons to always never give up, and to know there are people who care and have big hearts like mine.
With lots of Love and Aloha
