My Nonprofit Reviews

I have been a volunteer & donor for Project Hawaii since it began in 2003 as the Christmas Wish program. Magin & Cliff, co-directors & founder, are amazing as to what they have accomplished in 20+ yrs expanding the program to encompass more & more educational, healthy, celebratory endeavors; i.e., 2 wk Summer Edu-Camp, holiday parties/activities, continual disbursement to homeless camps of food & hygiene products & much more.

I have nothing but praise for Project Hawaii and hope they get the funding necessary to continue their wonderful work for the homeless keiki and their families!

I have been a volunteer & donor since the inception of Project Hawaii, 17-18 yrs ago when it was Christmas Wish Program! I have witnessed its growth from a small, one island non-profit helping their homeless keiki (children) & their families, to now all three major Hawaiian islands. And it is due to one amazing person, Magin Patrick, who has followed her visions & made this wonderful organization what it is today-- assisting hundreds of homeless families. She (with the huge help of her husband, Cliff Kama) is relentless in her pursuit to help these families, from every day needs to hosting yearly holiday activities; i.e., Christmas parties/gift distribution, Easter, as well as sponsoring Educational one-week summer camps. Her latest project is providing a small dormitory for those college-bound students who cannot afford the expensive of university housing! Project Hawaii ratings by far exceed 5 stars!!!

I am both a volunteer and a donor, and have been with Magin for past 11 years. She is truly dedicated to all these children and can't imagine what they would do without her and Cliff. However, it is very frustrating to see her work so hard to obtain the funds so desperately needed in order to provide all that they do for these keiki; often times, coming up short, but somehow she still makes it work!!! Project Hawaii is the best!!

I have been a volunteer with Magin & Project Hawaii since moving to the Big Isld 10 yrs ago. She is totally devoted to helping these homeless keiki and their families. If it weren't for her and Cliff, I don't know what many of these families would do. They work nonstop to raise funds to provide not only the necessities (food, clothing, hygiene items), but to also give them some joy in their lives; i.e., holiday parties/events, summer camps, etc. It is unfortunate that Magin and Cliff must work so hard to raise the funds needed to accomplish these goals and that many of the local community organizations/business, do not step-up to help them. Project Hawaii should be one of the top non-profits in Hawaii.

I have been both a regular volunteer and donor for Project Hawaii since moving to HI over 8 years ago. Magin has continually done an amazing job of always being there for any child/family in need while simultaneously organizing and offering all her regular yearly events for these children-- Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, summer camp, etc. She manages all of these tasks while working with only donations and volunteers. Project Hawaii is long overdue for major recognition and financial assistance!

I have been with Magin and Christmas Wish since moving to HI five years ago. And I have never experienced someone so dedicated to their "cause" as Magin. As another reviewer noted, she will use her own funds if she does not meet her monetary goals for a particular campaign, i.e., christmas gifts, books, food. I also agree that she seems somewhat dis- organized but amazingly to me (since I am a very organized person) everything falls into place and works! She does so much for these homeless keiki, it is really heartbreaking to see how oftentimes the community does so little to help her cause. Many families would be much worse off it weren't for Magin and Christmas Wish.
