Each workshop centers around a specific topic, although each workshop is a part of a larger series, it is not mandatory to attend all 6 workshops, however attending as many as you can is highly recommended.

Toy and Letter Drive for Raymond Senensi

Message from Inez Larson:

Aloha Kakahiaka Senator Shimabukuro!

I have remained in contact with Raymond’s mother. Raymond is the little boy that was bitten by a shark in Makaha, and I know what they need.

I am writing to you in regards to a toy drive and a letter drive for him.

He is doing well and should return to Nanaikapono on Wednesday.

Raymond has seven siblings. His mother, who is our age, is a single mom. Her oldest is eighteen and the rest are little. The youngest is eighteen months I believe.

The insurance won’t cover bandages or pain medication. She has started a gofundme account.

I love gathering toys and letters for Raymond, and I’m meeting his mom to give them to him. He’s so appreciative.

Surrounded by her children, the mother talks about sleepless nights, night terrors, and bandages. She tells me about incontinence and the pain he’s in.  He’s on children’s ibuprofen.

He’s shy and so is she.

They have been so traumatized, and I know well the impact a successful toy and letter drive would have on his recovery.

I know these are the types of things welcomed by the family. They will help a lot in their daily struggle in coping with the incident.

It helps for them to know they are not alone.

Please send toys and letters for Raymond Senensi to:

GoFundMe Fundraiser for Raymond Senensi’s Medical Bills

Raymond Senensi

Message from Raymond Senensi’s mother, Shirita Luvz Mikey:

This fund is set up on behalf of Raymond Senensi, III.

Raymond was bit by a shark on October 28, 2015 while he was waiting for a wave at Makaha Beach.  He was about 60-70 yards offshore when a shark jumped out of the water and grabbed his right leg and dragged him under water.  Raymond kicked the shark in the nose to free his leg.  When he reached the surface he yelled for help to one of the other surfers in the water who was an off-duty lifeguard.  The lifeguard pushed him on a wave to shore, and when he reached shore the lifeguards treated him until the EMS arrived.  From there he was admitted to Queens Medical Center in serious condition, where he had surgery.
The money is going to medical expenses and medicine that are not covered by insurance. This would mean a lot because it would help me with medical bills. We will be very thankful for any donations received, and it would mean a lot to Raymond to get through his recovery.

Wai`anae Moku 2030 Survey

The Wai`anae Economic Development Council was formed with a vision of community improvement through business development.

We work with business owners, aspiring business owners, and community organizations to educate, assist with, or manage businesses or projects that benefit the community through economic growth and financial sustainability. We have community resources who provide services to our community but have been struggling.  We have been UNDERFUNDED by Government agencies for Government mandated services, and in general IGNORED by those outside our community.

This has been going on for DECADES and it’s TIME FOR A CHANGE ! We need to come together as a community in a coordinated effort with one VOICE and a Long Term PLAN to fix these issues. Our DIVERSITY is our strength so if we  bring our ideas, perceptions, experiences, good common sense, and our values together, we can make this happen.

We need your input and would appreciate you completing the attached survey so that we can better understand how our community feels about our issues and look at ways to set the priorities to build a strategic plan to move forward. We sincerely appreciate your participation.
