The struggles continue for laid off Aloha employees. There's the pressure of no paycheck coming in and for some, medical costs eat up what little they had saved up.

For 21 years, Rod Nakabayashi took pride sharing his aloha with passengers. But, when the flight attendant suddenly found himself in need of help, he was uncomfortable taking it.

“I didn't want to make people go out of their way to help me or burden them or worry about me. I just kept it all to myself,” said Nakabayashi.

That changed overnight when Aloha shutdown. Rod suddenly didn't know how he could pay his medical bills. Medications, dialysis treatments 3 times a week, as he awaits kidney and pancreas transplants. Former co-workers, faced with their own financial hardships, found a way to help Rod.

“Even though they lost their jobs, they're willing to even pay for my medication, using their gas to transport me,” said Nakabayashi.

Still, Rod and his wife can't pay their mortgage and are in the process of boxing up their lives, moving out of their Ewa Beach home, and in with their parents. HMSA's cobra and Medicare covers a portion of dialysis. Community fundraisers are helping with the rest.

“It's very overwhelming. I really love Hawaii and the amount of support from people I don't know, they're all like family trying to help each other,” said Nakabayashi. “I think the friendship, care and love is going to pull me through.”
