In Honor of My Grandmother, Daisy Yadao Depakakibo
A Legacy of Faith, Hard Work, and Quiet Strength. My grandmother, Daisy Yadao Depakakibo, lived a life guided by faith, discipline, and quiet service. She didn’t seek attention. She prayed deeply, worked tirelessly, and gave generously.
Her influence was steady and deeply felt. Through her example, she taught us that a meaningful life isn’t measured by recognition, but by the lives we quietly uplift.
In her memory, we are committed to continuing what she embodied. That means supporting families who strive to create better lives. We believe education is one of the greatest tools for change—and that with faith and perseverance, anything is possible.
This is about more than remembering her. It’s about carrying her values forward, through real action that reflects who she was. I honor her not just with words, but with purpose.
