Another tiny home for Aunty Blanche

Because of your generosity, one more person gets a door that locks.

By the Inside Outreach team · October 8, 2025

We bought another tiny home for Aunty Blanche’s community.

That sentence doesn’t sound like much. Let us tell you what it actually means.

It means somebody who was sleeping in a tent, or on a beach, or in a car, gets a door that locks. A bed that’s theirs. A place to keep their stuff where it won’t get stolen or soaked. A roof when the rain comes in sideways off the mountains.

One at a time

This is how Aunty Blanche has done it from the start. Not with a giant government grant. One home at a time, every time someone gives.

When we first met her there were maybe 15 or 20 homes. Now there are a lot more. And she’s getting ready to break ground on permanent housing for more than 300 people.

It isn’t free housing

People in Aunty’s community work. They follow the rules. No drugs. They farm the land and run market stalls. The home is a fresh start, not a handout.

Because of you, one more person gets that start. Want to help with the next one? We’re ready when you are. Mahalo nui.
