Ohana means family

"Ohana means family...family means nobody gets left behind, or forgotten"

I have a family. I love them and would do anything in the world for them. Always. I also have a Ohana. For them. The same rules apply. Tragedy has struck my Ohana and my heart aches at the thought that my Ohana is suffering. The recent events here in Orlando have caused me to ponder the importance of my Orlando Ohana. My last program was really hard for me. I had a lot of downfalls and struggled a lot with anxiety. Having an Orlando Ohana was the only means of keeping me sane during those hard times. Being here a second time has given my Ohana a chance to expand. I have gained so many new work friends and have fallen madly in love with my roommates. For them, I will be forever grateful. We have laughed, cried, and sat in a stupor of silence together so many times already. My prayers are with my Ohana who are struggling and my plea is that they are in your prayers and thoughts as well. You can't break my Ohana. We are Orlando strong.
