April 2026 Letter

Hi everyone,

Thank you again for another month together.

This past month has been incredibly heavy for the Hawaiʻi community. The North Shore was hit with two major storms back-to-back during the week of March 13th and in the weeks that followed. The impact has been devastating for many families and small businesses including my own, as my business runs in the area collaborating with other business owners, artist's markers, and the community itself. 

If you’re able, I encourage you to support North Shore businesses in Haleʻiwa and Waialua—whether in person or online. Every bit of support makes a difference right now.

You can also follow Jamaica Osorio on Instagram for real-time updates on the community’s needs and where donation hubs are being relocated.

Lastly, I will be donating part of the proceeds from any purchases to some organizations that include: 

• Hawaiian Humane Society (in partnership with Hawaiʻi Pointer Rescue)
• Waveline Collective — supporting North Shore artists affected by the storms
• Lāhui Foundation

Spread aloha, and thank you for reading.
