Let Grace In

Mahalo to Joy Rodrigues and Burden Lifters for supporting Let Grace In as a Legacy of Love sponsor. ❤️

“Lifting burdens is my heart work.”

As an End of Life Doula, educator, advocate, and founder of Burden Lifters, Joy has been helping Oʻahu families navigate life’s final transitions since 2019 with compassion, dignity, and expert guidance. Her work supports both those who are dying and the loved ones caring for them through education, care coordination, legacy projects, vigil support, bereavement care, and end-of-life planning.

Joy’s generosity extends far beyond her profession. She is also a dedicated Let Grace In volunteer, sharing her time and heart at Hope Retreats and Sibshops, supporting grieving parents, children, and siblings with the same compassion she brings to every family she serves.

We are deeply grateful for Joy’s partnership, her servant heart, and her commitment to helping others carry life’s heaviest burdens.

Mahalo, Joy, for all you do for our community. 🤍

My heart was so touched to receive these photos today from the Big Island. ❤️

One of the beautiful parts of the grief journey is witnessing how our children continue to be remembered and carried forward by others. Today, Grayson’s Warrior Angel sign stood proudly along Kaylan’s Warrior Fun Run route, and Ruthie’s parents made sure to send photos so I could see him there.
Mahalo for this loving gift and for helping me feel connected from afar.

And mahalo to Michela and the entire Kaylan’s Warrior ʻohana for honoring children like Grayson while supporting local families facing childhood brain cancer. What began with Kaylan’s courageous life continues to bring hope, awareness, connection, and support to so many families throughout Hawaiʻi.

Our children may no longer walk beside us, but they continue to bring people together in extraordinary ways.

With gratitude and love,
Gabby ❤️

🌺 We are deeply grateful to Justine and John Arrillaga for their deep generosity and support of Let Grace In’s Legacy of Love fundraiser.

Their commitment to caring for others helps create opportunities for grieving families across Hawaiʻi to find connection, healing, and hope after the death of a child.

Because of compassionate community partners like Justine and John, families are reminded that they do not have to walk this journey alone.

Mahalo for your kindness, generosity, and belief in our mission. 💚🌿
