UNITED WITH HOPE
Writing to Your Loved One's Recipient
Legacy of Life Hawai‘i recognizes the incredible gift shared between donor families and transplant recipients—a gift of life, love, and healing. While each journey is unique, many find comfort in reaching out through a letter.
United with Hope is our program designed to support this connection. From the first letter to the possibility of meeting in person, our team guides and cares for both sides of this sacred exchange.

Steven Ginoza
Organ Donor
To his family and friends, Steven was an outgoing and active 28-year-old, a beloved son and brother, a gift. To the transplant recipients whose lives he saved, he is a hero. A civil engineer at the Honolulu Board of Water Supply, Steven was a kind and generous man who gave back in many ways. Steven continued on with his giving spirit by becoming an organ donor after a tragic accident took his life. Steven's gift touched the lives of four people who received his heart, kidneys, and liver.
Lokelani M.Y. Kruse
Organ & Tissue Donor
Lokelani had a sparkle in her eyes and a beautiful smile. She was a precious daughter and a cherished older sister. She loved playing volleyball and practicing ballet and tap dancing. Lokelani had many friends and a big heart. When an auto accident took Lokelani's life in 1998, she saved the lives of two people through organ donation, and through cornea donation, she restored sight to two others. Lokelani touched many lives in her short lifetime; her gift continues to touch the lives of others.
Randall Crisanto Guadiz, Sr.
Organ Donor
To his family and friends, Randall Guadiz was a fun, loving, and caring 41-year-old. A beloved husband, father of three beautiful children, son, and brother, Randall was also a gift to the two transplant recipients whose lives he saved. In their eyes, he is a hero. Randall's life was cut short in a motorcycle accident in July 2012. Because of Randall's generous kidney donation, two others received a second chance at life. His family and friends will always cherish and dearly miss him.
