The Abrigo Ohana needs our kokua!

abrigos - tim and kidsMany of you are familiar with the three very talented keiki known as the Abrigo Ohana (Timi, Emily and Quinn), either from seeing them play live, seeing their YouTube videos, or watching their outstanding Pakele Live! performance earlier this year...

The children's father, Tim Abrigo, is a master mechanic who suffered an injury at work in February. He has been in severe pain and unable to walk (or work) since the injury, and the family desperately needs our help! They've had no income since that time, but hadn't mentioned anything to anyone. Mom Lanet was trying to handle everything herself....

To read about the family’s plight, please go to the ChipIn page that has been created for them (click on the blog title above - it is a link to that page). You may also go directly to the donation page by clicking on the radio button in the widgit below.

(NOTE: Since my initial article on this, Tim has learned that a piece of a disk has broken off and is floating in and around his spine. He will need back surgery, but the length and extent of his recovery from that surgery is not yet known...)
