15 bikes for the keiki

Christmas at Hui Mahiʻai ʻĀina, and why a bike matters more than you think.

By the Inside Outreach team · December 31, 2025

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, ʻohana.

Because of your generosity, this season was filled with joy for the keiki at Hui Mahiʻai ʻĀina. Through our Christmas outreach we donated 15 bikes to the kids in Aunty Blanche’s community.

More than a gift

Think back to the first bike you ever got. The freedom. Riding to a friend’s house. Feeling the wind. Being a normal kid.

A lot of these keiki have lived through things no child should. Tents. Moving around. Not knowing where they’d sleep. A bike says something simple. You’re a kid. You get to have fun. Somebody out there cares about you.

A tradition

We’ve been doing Christmas with Aunty Blanche’s community for years. Cards. Gifts. Bikes. It’s one of our favorite days of the whole year.

Thank you to everyone who donated, supported and believed in this work. As we head into the new year, we’re excited to keep serving, partnering and building up our communities together.

Mahalo for being part of this.

A bike may seem small, but it means a lot to a child. Help us keep showing up for the keiki and their families.
