Work to do.
The Koa Fund was not created as a memorial. It exists to move in the world the way Koa moved in the world, to be her hands and feet and heart as she continues her work.
Beauty to see.
Koa was inspired to express through so much — from paintings and poems, to film and food. She found and created beauty in anything and everything, and now it is Koa who inspires.
“Mamá, Daddy… look at the sky. Just, look at it. Every morning and every evening it does this. Isn’t that amazing? And most of the world doesn’t even notice.”
