Harold “Keliʻi” Losano knows what it means to lose everything. For years, his life was shaped by addiction, instability, and nights without a place to feel safe.
But this is not that chapter.
At Kīpūola Kauhale, something has shifted.
He wakes up with somewhere to go.
He goes to work.
He’s rebuilding, one day at a time.
“I feel human again.”
This was the story shared just before Keliʻi stepped onto the stage in front of more than 400 people at last week’s gala. Not as someone defined by what he went through, but as someone showing what is possible on the other side.
With support, time, and a place to begin again, he is working toward something simple and powerful. A home of his own. A life rooted in dignity.
Mahalo nui, Keliʻi, for sharing your story. Your vulnerability inspired all of us and reminded us why this work matters.
