The Foundation plays an important and continuing role in the lives of Ke Aka Ho‘ona families. Mandatory money management classes, individual development account programs to help accumulate funds for home mortgages, improvements, and college accounts are all part of the joint commitments made by families and Consuelo.

Family counseling, anger management, computer classes, a playground and community center keep the Foundation tied to the lives of Ke Aka Ho‘ona families.

HONOLULU STAR- BULLETIN 1997: "I love the rules," said Leihua Kaauwai, whose family earned their home in 1994.

"I want my children to be winners, but they have to follow rules. I want them to be productive members of the community."

Kaauwai said Ke Aka Ho‘ona families gathered at Alger's grave over Memorial Day to "talk story" and to reflect on the gifts she left them.

"There's never a day that goes by that I don't count my blessings," Kaauwai said.

"We live the values we learned in the program.

"I'm so grateful to give back to people what was given to me."

* the words of St. Paul, quoted by Consuelo
