Their story

A single-parent family of 3 in Waialua, O'ahu is in temporary housing after the 2026 floods damaged their foundation & structure, interior walls, floors & ceilings. For over eight years, she has called her family’s land home. Born and raised on the North Shore, this part-owner of her family’s property at Otake Camp has deep roots in the land her children have grown up on. But after the last devastating flood brought eight to ten feet of water rushing through their home, everything she has worked to hold together is slipping away. The night of the flood is not something she will easily forget. Within minutes of the water rising, it came crashing in like a tidal wave. In the chaos, her son was swept away. She and her family managed to pull him to safety, but the trauma of nearly losing him lingers in every conversation she has since had trying to rebuild their lives. Their home is no longer livable. It needs major repairs. And yet, help has been nearly impossible to find. She has been denied by FEMA and her insurance provider, not because she doesn’t qualify, but because of a painful family conflict over property ownership. An uncle, living on the property without legal standing, reached out to relief organizations and government agencies in his own name — collecting funds meant to help the family recover. Because someone had already filed and received assistance for the property, she was disqualified. She is the legal resident. She is the one who stayed. She is the one whose children know no other home. The organizations meant to protect people like her have, one by one, turned her away. The transitional housing she has been relying on — Airbnbs and hotels to keep her children off the street — is no longer sustainable. The FEMA-assisted housing in Wahiawa is on the verge of removing them because FEMA denied her claim. She came to Ohana Restore as a last resort. During the call, she was emotional, exhausted, and quietly desperate — not for herself alone, but for her kids, for the only place they have ever called home. This family has already survived the unthinkable. Now they just need a safe place to land.

Our promise

Every dollar is traceable.

  • 100% reaches this family. Ohana Restore takes nothing from your gift.

  • Every item is tracked. From your gift to the day it is installed in the home.

  • Funds release only after three approvals. The family, the nonprofit, and the contractor.

Leftover funds stay with flood survivors.

The floods took everything inside these homes — beds, furniture, kitchen essentials, the everyday things that make a house a home. If this family’s rebuild is fully funded, any extra goes toward replacing those belongings — or, at the family’s choosing, helps another ʻohana still waiting. Either way, every dollar stays with a flood survivor.
