Aloha friends,
Every holiday is better with a home.
But this Christmas, more than 24,000 people in Hawaii don’t have a decent place to live. Children are growing up in inadequate and overcrowded homes, while parents struggle to make ends meet. For too many, the cost of home is simply out of reach.
This is why I am raising funds for Honolulu Habitat for Humanity: so that more families on Oahu can know the joy of being home for the holidays.
Honolulu Habitat for Humanity has been helping low-income families build and repair affordable homes since 1988. Many who have benefited from Habitat’s work say it’s the only way they could ever dream of owning their own home. Habitat homes are not free! Homeowners pay an affordable mortgage and help build their own homes alongside volunteers.

EXAMPLE: “I have been volunteering with Habitat for over a year now and have seen the impact of their work firsthand. This summer I helped build a home with a family in Waimanalo and I’ll tell you, it’s tough work! But meeting the homeowners and learning how much this house means to them made it all worth it. There are no words to describe the feeling of watching someone’s life change right in front of you.”
Will you help me reach my goal of raising $[XXXX]? Any amount will make an enormous difference. My deadline is January 31, 2023.

This holiday season I have joined forces with Honolulu Habitat for Humanity to raise funds for families in need of safe, affordable homes. Help build an island where everyone has a decent place to live. Donate to my fundraising page today.
A decent place to live removes the barriers to opportunity, success and health that have been part of a family’s life for years, if not generations.
Everyone deserves a decent place to live, and everyone can do something today to help make that possible for another family. That’s why I’m raising funds for Honolulu Habitat. Will you join me?
