By the Inside Outreach team · March 10, 2026Good news. Kokokahi Gymnastics reopened yesterday, and the keiki are back in class.
Getting there wasn’t easy.
Stuck
After the flooding we’d been working to get the gym ready so classes could start again. Then we hit a wall. The bigger equipment needed a truck with a lift gate. And there wasn’t one available anywhere.
Everybody was tired. It had been a long day.
Then Aloha Junkman
Late in the evening, Aloha Junkman showed up and helped us get it done. After their own long day. No fuss. Just loaded it up.
This is what community looks like. People showing up when it matters.
Why a gym matters
You might wonder why a gymnastics gym is on a disaster relief list. Here’s why. When a flood hits, kids lose their routine. Their safe place. The thing they look forward to all week. Getting keiki back to normal is part of getting a whole community back to normal.
If you or an organization in your community needs help after the storms, reach out. We’ll do our best to connect you with volunteers and support.
