return spell

my best friend ha'aheo is a filmmaker and storyteller who has released multiple short documentaries including the above. they and their adoptive brother and housemate, 3 māhū living in honolulu, have been struggling with the conditions of their housing due to the negligence of their landlord for over a year now, and while ha'a is trying to recover from an acute back injury they are now also being forced to deal with the aftermath of the storms that have been hitting oahu. one of their rooms was flooded and it's caused serious water damage in a house where i can personally vouch the floor was already threatening to give way in at least one location back in january. they've been trying to move for months but now it's truly urgent, but housing on oahu is more expensive than ever and like so many indigenous hawaiians they are being priced out of safe housing on their 'āina by american expats and military members. if you have some money to spare this month please consider donating, these are some of the most incredible people on earth and i know that any support they receive is multiplied tenfold in their tireless work for their community.
