Puʻuhonua is a refuge actively lifting people up, of all ages and backgrounds that may find themselves on the street without a home. This community shows the true meaning of the Aloha spirit.  They look at a holistic approach to homeless and houselessness. They say healing comes through community first, not housing first, not sobriety first, but community and relationships first. "Relationships are key to healing. In Puʻuhonua O Waiʻanae, everyone’s path to healing is different. It might come through a relationship with the land, with pets, with caring for kids, or being of service to others." Twinkle is an example of what we should all strive to be. She is selfless and has made it a mission to lift up a community that many have forgotten and lack compassion for. I am humbled every time I hear her speak.
