This week on the Team Lally Real Estate Radio Show, we interview Michael Wong. Michael shares the heart and mission behind Laulima. He talks about how the program helps families in the gap—those who don’t qualify for government support—and how donors, local businesses, and community partners keep the mission alive. Michael also speaks on their goals for 2025 and how Laulima continues supporting those in need even during the “off-season” of giving.
Michael Wong, our featured guest, was born in Kona and raised on Oʻahu. With a background as an educator, coach, and advertising professional, Michael brings a deep-rooted passion for serving Hawaiʻi’s communities. Now, as the Business Development Specialist for the Laulima Giving Program, he channels his diverse experience into making a lasting impact across the islands—supporting keiki, kūpuna, and families through heartfelt initiatives.
The Laulima Giving Program is a nonprofit dedicated to helping Hawaiʻi residents in need who may not qualify for traditional assistance. With programs like Back2School drives, Adopt a Family, and the Laulima Telethon, Laulima works year-round to bring hope and practical support to those facing hardship. Their mission is simple yet powerful: to uplift and empower local families by connecting them with the resources and compassion they deserve.
