Officers in the Kaua‘i Police Department Investigative Services Bureau reported in a press release that they have located and taken into custody Cody Powers, 17, a Kaua‘i High School student who was reported to be a runaway.
He was located Thursday afternoon, according to a police spokesperson.
Grant to help Kaua‘i families
Officials with the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Hawaii announced in a press release that they have received a $10,000 donation from leaders of the Elsie Wilcox Foundation to help assist members of Kaua‘i families who need to travel to O‘ahu for medical care for family members.
“It is very gratifying that the Elsie Wilcox Foundation has honored us with their support,” said Jerri Chong, executive director of Ronald McDonald House Charities of Hawaii (RMHC).
“The confidence this shows in us is inspiring, and the grant will quickly begin to help assist Kaua‘i families with seriously-ill children.” Hawai‘i’s RMHC officials have served thousands of seriously-ill children and their family members since 1987.
They operate two residential facilities (Ronald McDonald Houses) and a respite and support center inside Kapi‘olani Medical Center for Women and Children, the Ronald McDonald House Family Room.
Members of Kaua‘i families required to travel to O‘ahu for medical care are allowed to stay at the residential facilities if they can’t afford extended stays in hotels or other lodging there.
