SUPPORT FOR GIA PACHECO
|
Our beloved Gialynn, leader of our Children's Choir, suffered a serious neck injury. Gia is in intensive care and is being treated at Kapi’olani Medical Center on Oahu. Gia has a bruised spinal cord and suffered broken vertebrae in her neck. She will require spine injury care and therapy and is likely to have lengthy rehabilitation. Gia has been supported spiritually by visits from Kahu Kerry and Sara Nyoma, Rachel and Damien Martin of Camp Mokule’ia. Rev. Charles & Rev Bill of O'ahu will continue visiting the Pacheco family. Please send prayers for Gia’s healing of mind, body and spirit.

Kauai girl partially paralyzed, family asks for help after swimming accident
This appeal appears on Gia's GoFundMe page:
Aloha! I am the aunt of a very sweet 12 year old Hawaiian girl named Gialynn. Yesterday 10-7-25 I received the worst news over the phone. I was informed that my Niece had hit her head in a freak accident while swimming with her cousins. She also had a near drowning incident due to her injury she had lost all feeling in her lower extremities. Her relatives near by saved her and held her afloat till help arrived. From Kaua’i they transferred her to Kapiolani hospital in O’ahu. Doctors are trying to remain hopeful but have no good news to bare for my Brother and his wife. Gia is a fun, loving young girl raised with the true Hawaiian fundamentals of life. She lives and loves with her whole heart. Gia is also a very good student earning honorable grades. This injury has changed their lives forever especially for Gia. She will need the help of not only her parents but the help of all who can help. They need anything that you can give. Anything helps. Please help give to Gia so that she may have a chance at living life to fullest like she always has. They don’t have a home they own yet my brother serves in the National Guard and works a full time job and my sister in law works a full time job also. They are both very busy. I just want to try to raise money so that maybe just maybe she will have the chance to be able to walk again with the extensive treatment. With this money maybe she will have that chance. They will also need a wheelchair accessible vehicle. I’m hoping to raise enough money to help. So please help our Gia. Mahalo.
