LIVE ALOHA FOUNDATION

Guided by the Hawaiian value of Aloha, our mission is to transform trauma into hope by delivering dedicated mental health resources to two vulnerable groups: children grieving the loss of a parent to suicide, and veterans striving for mental wellness. We strive to empower these individuals and families to heal and live meaningful, healthy lives.

Born from the personal tragedy of losing our family member, Lance "Bo" Chavez – a proud Hawaiian, beloved father and USMC veteran – to suicide, The Live Aloha Foundation is dedicated to transforming pain into purpose. We fund crucial, paid grief therapy for children navigating the unimaginable loss of a parent to suicide, and provide essential mental health services for veterans battling their own unseen wounds. Through the enduring spirit of Aloha, we are committed to fostering healing, building resilience, and honoring legacies by bringing hope to those most vulnerable.
