As we love your generosity and support, your gift to us is coming to Kaua'i and celebrating our marriage! If you do have some extra support to provide, we ask that you donate to a Kaua'i local non-profit in lieu of a wedding gift. These are some organizations near and dear to our hearts. All these non-profits are local and give their resources only to locals. 1. http://www.cavereserve.org/donate.php --- this organization is spreading awareness of the massive lava tubes of Kaua'i. There is an endangered cave spider as well as several native plants that rely on the lava tube's as their home. By donating to this organization you will help preserve Kaua'i's native population of flora and fauna. 2. https://haleopio.org/donate/ ------ this organization helps build community on Kaua'i by enhancing young people's quality of life through education, prevention, court diversion, and treatment. 3. https://www.kauairefuges.org/donate-join ---- this organization strives to improve understanding, appreciation, conservation, and awareness of the native Hawai'ian ecosystems on Kaua'i. 4. https://kumuscupboard.org/donate/ --- this organization collects and buys school supplies for teachers on Kaua'i.
