Caren’s Story

Site created on December 20, 2020


Caren was shockingly diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer on December 18. While the prognosis is undetermined at this point, Caren is ready and willing to fight for herself and for her sweet family. Speaking of her sweet family, Caren is the BEST mom to her 11 year old daughter Omi, ensuring she is her first priority in any scenario, even while fighting cancer. Omi has grown into a quirky, gorgeous and kind little human who loves and depends on her mom, her best friend. Additionally, Caren’s husband, Kaleo whom she married recently is a kindred soul from her native Hawaii who also desperately depends on our girl.
 
Anyone who knows Caren knows that she’s hilarious, loving and endlessly puts everyone else’s needs before her own. It’s time to return the favor. The urgency to help and provide support is weighing heavy on our hearts.

 We will be using this site to keep family and friends updated in one place. Please post messages of love and encouragement often under “Well Wishes” and visit the “Ways to Help” section for a link to our GoFundMe and Wish List registry.
