HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

[From a-z-animals.com: "Beautuful Roses in Hawaii", by Cindy Rasmussen]
The “Volcano Rose” of Hawaii is known as the “Loke-o-ka-Iua-Pele”. These pink roses actually grow along the active volcano of Kilauea on the Big Island of Hawaii. As traditions state, Kilauea is the home of Pele the great volcano goddess. Pele is revered as the one who created the Hawaiian Islands. She shapes the landscape by both forming land and destroying areas with violent eruptions and scorching lava. Despite the harsh conditions in and around these volcanoes, beauty can evolve. The pink volcano rose is often found around volcanoes including in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. These are hybrid multiflora that produce large pink blooms that tend to fade a bit to a blush pink.
