To Whom It May Concern,

I write in strong support of The White Rabbit Foundation and their mission of providing free healing retreats to cancer patients and their families in Hawaii. This foundation exemplifies the values of compassion, dignity, and aloha that are vital to the healing process.

As a cancer survivor and lifelong advocate for accessible, compassionate care, I understand the profound emotional impact of a cancer diagnosis. The White Rabbit Foundation fills a critical gap by offering a space of peace and family unity during a time of immense hardship.

I encourage grantmakers, philanthropists, and healthcare partners to support their work and expand access to holistic recovery for families nationwide.

Sincerely,

Mazie K. Hirono
U.S. Senator – Hawaii

To Whom It May Concern,

As a Native Hawaiian educator and community wellness advocate, I’m honored to offer my support to The White Rabbit Foundation.

Their mission to provide free, restorative cancer retreats in Hawai‘i aligns deeply with the values of mālama (care) and pilina (connection). Their work not only uplifts families but also honors the land and spirit of Hawai‘i.

This is a model of healing our communities need more of. I encourage all philanthropic partners to join in supporting this vital effort.

In community,

Dr. Kū Kahakalau

To Whom It May Concern,

When my husband was recovering from aggressive cancer treatment, our entire family was unraveling — emotionally, financially, and spiritually. Then we were introduced to The White Rabbit Foundation.

The opportunity to heal together in Hawai‘i changed everything. Our children laughed again. My husband found peace. I finally had a moment to breathe. This organization gave us time, space, and hope when we needed it most.

I will be forever grateful to The White Rabbit Foundation.

With aloha,
