"I want to express my sincere gratitude for your generous support in providing bus passes during my time of need. Your kindness made it possible for me to travel safely and reliably around the island while I was getting established.
Transportation assistance is crucial for asylum seekers like me, and your support made a significant difference in my life. While I have now transitioned to using Biki bike share for my transportation needs, I will always be thankful for your help during that critical period. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of people like me."
From an asylum seeker
“We were able to use funds from the generous Bodaiji grant to assist children in two families of Maui fire survivors to come to Oahu for fingerprinting. The families would have had to pay the out-of-pocket costs themselves in a time when they were recovering from the disaster.
We were also able to assist a trafficking victim with renewing an expired green card that allowed them to access desperately needed public benefits and other services to support their basic needs. One of our homeless clients needed to renew their work permit as they had it stolen and could not access any jobs to help them get back on their feet.”
