El Aina is now gone, the bench was temporarily removed and then brought back with a bar in the middle of it... |

It seems empty without El Aina Danine an iconic figure we all came to recognize on a regular basis at the Kapa'a neighborhood center bus stop. Everyone had their opinion of the 'Angel at the bus stop', 'Lady in purple', and other
names that people should be ashamed to speak. She became like family, many disliked her and yet many sent her love. Just like in the dysfunctional family where family members fight and argue they always miss each other when they are no longer around. I feel the same with El Aina. She has moved on.
The Bus stop bench that fronts the Kapa'a neighborhood center was removed and brought back after it was remodeled with a bar in the middle of it.... |
I think even those who complained are missing our 'Island Icon' sitting at the bus stop, I know I am?
Did you know Psychiatrists say it's a sign of recognition to live at places like bus stops?
It's their fifteen minutes of fame, after all why would anyone choose to sleep and take residence
at a bus stop? These are people who are not recognized with their jobs, letters to the editor or a loving family-- on a subconscious level they are looking for love, not a place to sleep.
The bench was a present to the community from 3rd grade students at Kamehameha schools! |
Next time you encounter somebody like El Aina just smile and say hello, you'll be surprised how much that helps both parties involved!
God bless the 'lady in purple,' 'the angel at the bus stop,' I pray for her health and hope she's doing better.
God bless Kaua'i and the victims of the recent floods.... |

Any clues about where she ended up? Some day you might even find her back there again.
I've heard many different coconut wireless rumors, nothing confirmed. When I know something as fact I will let you know....
I saw her there recently, but she was gone the next time I drove past
I saw the lady that was there that day. I don't believe it was her? The woman that day was much thinner, though wearing purple. I think it was just somebody waiting for the bus? That's why they were gone next time you went by?
it really looked like her to me. The next time I drove by was a day or two later. I could be wrong though
Whether it was my friend or not, I pray she's doing better wherever she is!
She was at the County Courthouse and Police Station today, most likely to retrieve her possessions. She was well and chipper. Hope this helped and she was dressed in purple.

Ami Thea & James Kimo Rosen It was her... not sure but heard that she was arrested again for "loitering" at the bus stop. James Ill see what I can find out straight from the source....
We saw her today she was just let out. She is a bit slimmer but doing ok.
She picked up her items at The kpd when we were there to file a report.
Bec, Did you talk to her? Do you know if Is she going to remain on Kauai?
But, Kimo, that "Angel" does not belong living at a bus stop no matter how many people feel sorry for her. To try and sleep, eat bath and live in such a place is wrong not matter how you cut it up. I only hope that she has found a better, safer more healthy place to live as, again, she does not deserve to be a "freak" for people to watch.
Just my opinion.

I saw her this morning. She's no longer sleeping in bus stop, but along fence by it covered in a tarp.
