Final Push: Raising the Last $35,000 to Equip Makana Urgent Care with an Ultrasound Machine
North Shore Give is a nonprofit 501(c)3 foundation since 2012. We are dedicated to improving the quality of life on Kauaʻi’s remote North Shore, home to over 3,500 households and nearly 11,000 residents. This beautiful area spans 155 square miles, accessible by a single road with 9 bridges—8 of which are one-lane. During peak tourism, the population swells by up to 7,000%, creating a significant strain on local resources.
In the next 5 years, they are committed to expanding medical services at Makana North Shore Urgent Care, the only urgent care facility in the area. This year North Shore Give are raising funds with their “Give the Gift of Health” drive to purchase an ultrasound machine for the facility, a critical tool that will enhance diagnostic capabilities and improve overall healthcare access. A High-end Ultrasound Machine, which costs up to $75,000, will allow for essential screenings like monitoring pregnancies, assessing heart health, and detecting organ issues early.
Thanks to the success of the 2025 North Shore Give Charity Auction & Gala held in February, $40,000 toward the purchase of a new ultrasound machine has already been raised. Now, just $35,000 remains to fully fund this essential equipment. Any excess funds not required for the ultrasound will be carried forward to support the purchase of a second medical device for the clinic next year.
Your donation will directly improve healthcare access for thousands of residents and visitors alike. Go to the new GoFundMe page to donate.
