On Saturday, September 22nd, two residents, Faye Massey and Vilma Sanchez, attended our signature fundraising event, Kokua for Kupuna, to share their experiences that they’ve had while living at Hale Makua Wailuku and Kahului respectively. Their stories moved many guests to tears, and there were several individuals who commented that the speakers were the highlight of the event.
 
By speaking at our fundraising event, Faye and Vilma helped other individuals in our community learn about our services, their wonderful care partners, and that they still live full and active lives at Hale Makua. In this way, these residents provided care for our entire organization, which is an example of Eden Alternative Principle 4: An Elder-centered community creates opportunities to give as well as receive care. This is the antidote to helplessness. It is also an example of Principle 6, which states that meaningless activity corrodes the human spirit. The opportunity to do things that we find meaningful is essential to human health.
