Ka Hale A Ke Ola
“Breaking the Cycle of Homelessness:
The founding family of TKO has always lived with the Spirit of Aloha in their hearts, but on Jan. 18, 2012 they found a place of love nestled on the back roads of Wailuku, Maui.
Ka Hale A Ke Ola is a homeless resource center for families that provides necessities that families need to get back on their feet. The shelter provides housing for the lucky few who get in and for those waiting they offer resources to help their children. When a family needs to interview for a job, the staff provides free child care, counseling and educational skills to assist the parents in obtaining and keeping a job. TKO was not allowed to take photos of the children as some of them were in hiding from abusive parents and relationships.
The children were loving and sweet and were playing in the playground as we toured the center. Tiffany Somera, the Director of Children Services said that they are in need of everything from diapers to educational toys. The children range in age from 6 weeks old to teenagers. You can also donate your time and special skills to the teenagers. We plan on offering a Kids Finance Lesson on our next trip by the kids finance coach. www.kidsfinancecoach.com
