Who we are
Engaging Community, Empowering Independence
We are a grassroots, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Hawaii, focused on helping individuals with spinal cord injuries (SCI) and similar mobility challenges to reclaim their independence and dignity. Founded by those who’ve walked (and rolled) the journey themselves; we understand that living with a SCI is not just about surviving — it’s about thriving.
Whether you are newly injured or years into recovery, we offer peer support, advocacy, and access to practical tools and real-world guidance. From navigating rehab to rebuilding daily life, we walk alongside you — some as experts, but more importantly, as a community that gets it.
We believe healing goes beyond the hospital. It’s emotional. It’s social. It’s spiritual. Here in the islands, we do it with Aloha.

Our Commitment
Our Kuleana
Living with a spinal cord injury (SCI) is a lifelong journey — one filled with physical, emotional, and logistical challenges that don’t end when you leave the hospital. That is why we are here.
We are a Hawaii-based nonprofit organization created by and for people impacted by spinal cord injuries; families, friends, and care partners. Our mission is to support every step of that journey — from rehabilitation and mental health, to transportation, housing, and community reintegration.
We believe in meeting people where they are. Whether you are newly injured or decades into life with a SCI, you deserve access to tools, support, and a local community that understands what you are going through. No medical jargon. No false promises. Just real, lived experiences — and the help you need to reclaim independence and purpose.
We also advocate for long-overdue accessibility changes in Hawaii. Our islands should be a place where every person, regardless of mobility, can navigate freely and live fully.
As a ground roots organization, we bring heart, shared experience and a relentless commitment to ensuring no one has to face this journey alone.
