## Resource

Hurricane Lowell unleashed chaos on Kauaʻi’s southwest coast, shredding Port Allen Harbor’s historic breakwall, swallowing boats, and leaving 100+ livelihoods in ruins. Fisherman Kekoa Seward barely escaped with his vessel—now stranded without a launch spot for years. As tourism tanks and small businesses shutter, the Keala Foundation steps in, turning an old grocery store into a youth gym and community hub next month to offer free mentoring and fitness programs. With mental health support on the front lines, Aaron Hoff and the County of Kauaʻi are building resilience—one kid at a time. Need help? Visit kealafoundation.com.
