Help with Final Expenses for ELMA LEILANI KANEAKUA

Aloha Ohana & Friends,

With a heavy heart, I want to express my gratitude to all of you who have come by our home to spend time with Mom during the past few months, weeks, and recently her last days until Akua was ready for her and called her home to heaven. On Sunday, November 24th, 2024, while surrounded by her ohana, Mom took her last breath and was freed from all the pain she endured. Whether it was only for a brief time to say “Aloha Aunty, love you” or to share a story with her about a time you remembered, please know that it has touched my soul more than you could ever imagine, and I thank you so much for that.

As I navigate through this difficult time, planning Mom’s celebration of life, I am faced with the harsh reality of the cost of her final expenses. The amount due to the Mortuary must be paid in full by this Friday, December 6th. Other expenses for the burial must be paid by January 10th, 2025, the day before her services.

I humbly ask for your support. I know many of us have been experiencing financial hardship, especially at this time of year. But I am respectfully asking and reaching out for help because I have no other resources. If I had any other way to do this, I would not be asking.

Your contributions will go directly toward her funeral costs, memorial arrangements, and other related expenses.

Every donation, no matter how small, makes a difference. If you are not able to contribute financially, sharing this campaign with your network would mean the world to me.

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers as we honor Mom’s memory and celebrate her life.

‘O wau iho no me ke aloha ha’a ha’a,

Helene Kahaunaele-Akiona & Family
