As an organization, our ties to Hawaiian culture aren’t simply geographical or based on state-issued articles. It’s not because Bethany Hamilton’s from Kauai or because we receive our mail here. It’s a little bit to do with the Hawaiian concept of Aloha, but it goes even deeper than that. We know that the deep honor, respect and companionship so native to Polynesian culture is rooted in the love and celebration of a Creator.

The mission of the Beautifully Flawed Foundation has always been to express the affection of God towards those that seek, ask and flow with the tides of life. We aim to help young men and women navigate the storms of unfathomable grief, change and loss, not only of the physical body, but of a sense of identity or even friends and family. The most outwardly evident aspect of what we do is that we serve those with limb loss and differences, yet it’s only an outward picture – the greatest impact is in the heart. What we aim to do is align those individuals, families and cultures that draw nearest to the Maker of heaven and earth – anytime that we have the opportunity to give visibility to that light, we are honored.
