This is the MOST IMPORTANT post of my LIFE… If you’re seeing this, I NEED YOUR HELP. The boy who made me a Father, the baby who showed me what unconditional love is, my greatest teacher, my Son MANA, is fighting brain cancer. His diagnosis is extremely rare, very aggressive and already metastasized, but Mana, literally means ‘supernatural power’ & he IS going to overcome this. But he can’t do it alone. Help us move mountains to keep this magical little boy with us! How? 1. Donate what feels right (GoFundme link in my Bio) 2. Share this fundraiser with the hashtag #LetsGoMana 3. Follow our journey @the.mana.ohana 3. Pray for/Visualize Mana as the vital 40 year old man he will someday be! With everything I’ve got, ❤️🔥THANK YOU❤️🔥
Ohana – You’ve been on this journey with us for almost a year. The triumphs and the heartbreaks have been monumental & through it all, your support has been the wind under our wings, that’s carried us further than most would have dared to dream… “Grateful” doesn’t even come close to the immensity of all we feel for you… thank you, thank you, THANK YOU… and… our journey isn’t over yet. We are reaching out with one final and perhaps most difficult request for support… Last month, our magical Son and center of our universe, Mana Trinity Darville, took his last breath. We are shattered & will spend the rest of our lives longing to have just one more moment in the sunshine of his light. As we put the pieces of our hearts back together in a new mosaic that is forever expanded, we’re faced with the practical realities of all that lays ahead… We are proud to say that EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR that you helped us raise, was spent directly on Mana’s medical treatments. Towards the end, as the urgency mounted to fever pitch and the sleepless nights became sleepless months, the medical bills piled-up far beyond what we raised. We completely depleted our life savings and ate into the equity in our house. Cont in comments 👇

Hi family — update from mama and papa now that we’re back in Austin. Firstly – thank you so much for all of your donations. We are a quarter of a way to our gofundme goal of clearing our medical debt. Thank you to each person who’s donated and shared our story. It’s been an unbearable time but the love and support from our global community has made it so much more bearable. Mana’s life has ended but his story has not. The celebration of Mana’s life we did in Ojai in November was truly remarkable. We’re recreating the magic next Thursday for all of our friends, family, and global community that couldn’t be there with us in person and we would love for you to join us. Come learn more about Mana, listen to amazing music from some dear friends and have the space to sit with both grief and joy at the same time. RSVP for Mana’s celebration of life on Thurs 1/18 at Manafest.fun and we’ll see you there <3

Global Ohana! To each of you who’ve donated and shared, large and small…THANK YOU… For the words of support and encouragement; you have lifted us in moments where it’s all felt like too much. …THANK YOU… The journey continues and we are unshaken in our resolve to heal Mana fully and completely. For those with 12minutes to spare, watch the detailed video update. For those who don’t, here is my ask: – Mana is having a second surgery to debulk the primary tumor – This will happen at 12noon on the 12th of April Central Standard Time – The hospital is – Memorial Herman Childrens, Houston Texas – Our Surgeon is Dr. David Sandberg If you feel called to, at that time, take a moment to light a candle and send a prayer for Mana that includes – 1. That Dr. Sandberg moves with absolute precision & care, and is a vessel to channel the global outpouring of healing & love directed towards Mana. 2. That All of the primary tumor is removed 3. The biggest risk going into this surgery is that Mana looses, what limited movement he has left down the right side of his body. Pray that ALL of his movement is preserved and can be fully rehabilitated 4. The first blood that Mana will be transfused with is mine, however, he will also receive from others who’ve selflessly donated. Pray that all blood products he receives, are clean, vital and easily assimilated by his body. Your love, belief and collective power have fortified our love of humanity. Mana’s story will be a story of beauty, power & triumph of the human spirit. THANK YOU for being a part of that story! In fierce Love, Papa Eka & Mama Lila

Stop scrolling and get yourself into nature. You won’t regret it, I promise 🌱🌏
Ohana, we are only a day away from getting to celebrate our magically wise and forever radiant Boy. Thousands of you will be joining us to sing his praise with voices that will reverberate around the entire globe. Thank you for being part of our army of light warriors 💪🏾❤️🩹❤️🔥 Tomorrows celebration of Mana’s life will be a mix a both grief & joy in equal parts. We will sing! We will dance! We will cry We will laugh And most importantly, We will do it all TOGETHER ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏻 We’ve chosen to let you in to witness some of the most intimate moments of our family’s lives, because, it’s what Mana has guided us to do. In life, his way of being constantly re-imagined what was possible. In death, it has been no different. Mana’s life celebration that took place in Ojai last month, forever expanded our ideas of what death needed to look like. Perhaps it will for you too. By now, most of you know that Mana is a Musician. So, in his honour we have a world class collective of artists offering tribute performances! Join us to experience intimate performances from @xavierruddofficial, @peiabird, @deyadova, & more! In a world so riddled with division & negativity, come be a part of re-imagining a vision for the world you’d like to live in ✨ With fierce love, deep gratitude & an endless passion for our Boy. Mama Lila 🦁 & Papa Eka 🦍 RSVP for Mana’s celebration of life on Thurs 1/18 at https://www.manafest.fun/ and we’ll see you there ✨
