Sherrie Cummings fell in love with Hawaiʻi — the beauty, the spirit, the people. But beyond the sunsets and ocean views, she saw something else in the backyard of her island home away from home… children living without stability, without basic necessities, without the security every child deserves.

She couldn’t look away.

Knowing that precious keiki on the West Side of Oʻahu are growing up in cars, tents, and uncertain conditions, Sherrie chose to step forward. She chose to turn compassion into action.

Now, she’s asking you to stand with her.

Together, we can wrap these children in care, provide hygiene and meals, support their education, and remind them that they are seen, valued, and deeply loved.

Please join Sherrie in making a difference where it matters most — right here, right now.

 

Every Child Deserves Safety, Support, and a Chance to Succeed

On the West Side of Oʻahu, hundreds of children are living in cars, tents, overcrowded homes, and unstable conditions. While other children are thinking about school projects and sports practice, these keiki are wondering where they will sleep tonight.

At Project Hawai’i, Inc., we refuse to let homelessness define a child’s future.

Your donation provides immediate relief and life-changing support — restoring dignity, stability, and hope.

Year-Round Services & Mentorship

Homelessness doesn’t take a  break — and neither do we.

We offer:

• Summer educational programs

• Teen mentoring and leadership development

• Holiday outreach and celebrations

• Mommy & Me early childhood support

• Transitional guidance for long-term stability

We walk alongside children and families every month of the year — not just during emergencies.

Why the West Side Needs You

The West Side of Oʻahu continues to see high numbers of homeless families. Clean sweeps, housing shortages, and rising living costs push families into unstable conditions again and again.

Children suffer the most.

Your gift provides both immediate relief and long-term opportunity — empowering children to break the cycle of poverty through education, mentorship, and life-changing experiences.
