"When You Give More, You Receive More."
A total of $150,000 was raised during Aerial Recovery’s Annual Benefit Gala.
This year’s Annual Benefit Gala for Aerial Recovery raised a total of $150,000 to support their life-saving mission. My wife and I were humbled to contribute $50,000, knowing that every dollar helps protect vulnerable communities and bring healing where it’s needed most. Aerial Recovery trains and deploys Humanitarian Special Operators who step into natural disasters, man-made crises, and even the fight against sex trafficking. Their teams of Veterans and First Responders from the Heal the Heroes Initiative embody courage, compassion, and a deep commitment to service. We’re grateful to stand behind an organization that brings hope, safety, and second chances to people around the world.
During the Divine Wealth Retreat, We Raised $150,000 to Help Save 15 Children from Sex Trafficking
What happens when aligned hearts unite with purpose? True impact.
At the Divine Wealth Retreat with Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Svetlana Newsome, we were surrounded by mission-driven leaders who embodied what it means to live with intention. In that space of deep alignment, our community came together and raised $150,000 for Aerial Recovery, an organization doing extraordinary work around the world.
Aerial Recovery’s missions include rescuing children from sex trafficking, providing aid to communities affected by natural disasters, and helping military veterans find renewed purpose through service. One of their recent missions saved 15 children who were victims of sex trafficking, giving them the chance to experience freedom and healing.
This retreat was a powerful reminder that true wealth isn’t measured by material success, but by the lives we touch and the hope we help restore.

About Heal the Heroes
The Heal The Heroes Initiative aims to provide military veterans and first responders with the opportunity to gain the healing they’ve been searching for during and after their transition from military and service careers to civilian life.
100 Heroes (4 platoons of 25 veterans and first responders) complete the year-long Heal The Heroes Program each year. The Heroes then graduate into the Heal the Heroes Veterans Community, which integrates past, present, and future platoons into a lifelong community, providing lasting support, opportunity, and motivation.

Healing Together: Supporting Mental Health Awareness
For the month of May, we had the honor of donating $2,300 to NAMI Hawaii in support of Mental Health Awareness Month.
We both grew up familiar with mental health struggles and the silence that often surrounds them in Asian households. It wasn’t something we talked about. We were taught to stay quiet, push through, and carry the weight alone.
After experiencing our own healing, giving back has become part of our purpose, to support others who are struggling and to help create a world where mental health is met with compassion and care.
This donation is more than a financial contribution. It’s a symbol of hope and a reminder that no one has to walk this journey alone. We see you, and we’re with you.

A Man’s Legacy is Written in the Hearts He Helps Heal.
A man’s legacy isn’t measured by what he owns but by the lives he uplifts and the hearts he helps heal. Every act of giving, no matter how small, creates ripples of hope that reach farther than we realize.
By being one of my clients, you also become part of this mission, as a portion of what I earn always goes back to charity. Together, we can create a legacy of kindness that never fades.
