Mission and programs · 2024

• KELEA FOUNDATION CONTINUES TO ADVANCE ITS MISSION OF MAKING SPORTS, RECREATION, AND WELLNESS ACCESSIBLE TO ALL, WITH A PARTICULAR FOCUS ON INDIVIDUALS LIVING WITH DISABILITIES. FOLLOWING THE AUGUST 2023 MAUI WILDFIRES, KELEA FOUNDATION RAPIDLY EXPANDED ITS SCOPE TO MEET URGENT COMMUNITY NEEDS, PARTICULARLY FOR FIRE SURVIVORS WITH DISABILITIES, MOBILITY LIMITATIONS, AND ACCESS AND FUNCTIONAL NEEDS. IN 2024, WE SOLIDIFIED AND EXPANDED OUR DURABLE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT (DME) DONATION PROGRAM, WHICH SOURCES, PROCESSES, AND DISTRIBUTES DONATED EQUIPMENT-INCLUDING WHEELCHAIRS, WALKERS, SHOWER CHAIRS, HOSPITAL BEDS, AND CONSUMABLE SUPPLIES LIKE ADULT DIAPERS AND GLOVES. THIS PROGRAM SUPPORTS BOTH INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS MAUI. OUR MAIN DISTRIBUTION SITE, KNOWN AS KELEA HQ, IS CENTRALLY LOCATED AND FULLY ACCESSIBLE, AND SERVES AS A HUB FOR COMMUNITY SUPPORT, COLLABORATIVE PROGRAMMING, AND INTER-AGENCY COORDINATION. WE HAVE NOW DISTRIBUTED OVER 550 PIECES OF DURABLE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND NEARLY 30,000 CONSUMABLE MEDICAL SUPPLIES TO SURVIVORS, KUPUNA, PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES, AND OTHERS IN NEED. OUR EQUIPMENT INVENTORY IS MANAGED VIA A DEDICATED WEBSITE, MAUILOANCLOSET.ORG, WHICH ALLOWS BOTH INDIVIDUALS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS TO REQUEST ITEMS DIRECTLY. IN 2024, KELEA FOUNDATION PARTNERED WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, FEMA, THE AMERICAN RED CROSS, ALOHA INDEPENDENT LIVING, AND A GROWING COALITION OF GRASSROOTS LEADERS KNOWN AS THE DISABILITY HUI TO ENSURE THAT NO ONE IS LEFT BEHIND IN THE RECOVERY PROCESS. OUR TEAM WORKS CLOSELY WITH SURVIVORS TO PROVIDE ONGOING SUPPORT INCLUDING, REFERRALS FOR PHYSICAL AND OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY, SSDI BENEFIT NAVIGATION, DENTAL AND VISION CARE ACCESS, AND SOCIAL SERVICE NAVIGATION. WE RECEIVED AND PROCESSED SEVERAL LARGE-SCALE EQUIPMENT SHIPMENTS FROM NATIONAL DONORS AND MUTUAL AID PARTNERS. KELEA FOUNDATION WAS THE ONLY MAUI-BASED NONPROFIT ABLE TO RECEIVE, STORE, AND ORGANIZE THESE DELIVERIES. THIS WAS MADE POSSIBLE BY VOLUNTEER POWER AND TARGETED FUNDING FROM FOUNDATIONS AND LOCAL GRANTS, WHICH SUPPORTED EQUIPMENT HANDLING, STORAGE LOGISTICS, AND STAFFING FOR OUR GROWING OPERATIONS. THE DISABILITY HUB AT KELEA HQ NOW OPERATES AS A COLLABORATIVE SPACE, SUPPORTING SERVICE PROVIDERS OFFERING ONE-ON-ONE RECOVERY NAVIGATION, WELLNESS PROGRAMMING, CAREGIVER SUPPORT, AND ACCESSIBLE RECREATIONAL CLASSES. WE LAUNCHED MULTIPLE PILOT PROGRAMS IN 2024, INCLUDING TRANSPORTATION SERVICES FOR ISOLATED KUPUNA AND ADVOCACY SUPPORT FOR INDIVIDUALS FACING BARRIERS TO SERVICES. AS OF THE END OF THIS REPORTING PERIOD, WE HAVE DIRECTLY SUPPORTED OVER 325 INDIVIDUALS WITH MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND RECOVERY SERVICES. INDIRECTLY, OUR WORK HAS REACHED HUNDREDS MORE THROUGH SUPPORT OF SHELTERS, GROUP HOMES, AND COMMUNITY RESOURCE HUBS. THE NEEDS REMAIN SIGNIFICANT, ESPECIALLY AS SURVIVORS TRANSITION FROM TEMPORARY SHELTER TO LONG-TERM HOUSING AND BEGIN TO REBUILD THEIR LIVES. KELEA FOUNDATION CONTINUES TO EVOLVE IN RESPONSE TO COMMUNITY NEEDS AND REMAINS COMMITTED TO INCLUSIVE, COMMUNITY-CENTERED RECOVERY, WITH A UNIVERSAL DESIGN MINDSET AT THE CORE OF OUR WORK. OUR PARTNERSHIPS, PERSISTENCE, AND DEEP LOCAL ROOTS ENSURE THAT SUPPORT REACHES THE PEOPLE WHO NEED IT MOST.
