Please help us in our animal rescue efforts!

We would love to have your help and would appreciate your sharing.
I know it is quite difficult to ask for volunteers for Pearl Ridge on this since there are so many places on Oahu with volunteers in charge of their own colonies and daily activities.
But if you can help us, even if only a little, please share this information with us.

My husband and I have been volunteering to feed cats
at Pearlridge Mall since 2008, and since 2019 we have been dealing with the mall management, arranging feeders, some regular TNR activities, kitten I have also been in charge of rescues, finding fosters, and hospital treatment and euthanasia of sick cats. However, my husband is disabled from his time in the Navy and has had Parkinson's disease for almost 10 years now, and these days he falls and faints even on level ground, so it is no longer possible for us to do TNR together.
For about 3 years now, we have been looking for an organization that could support us, including dealing with the management of Pearlridge, but have not found one yet.
However, my husband's condition has recently worsened and I no longer feel confident that I can continue to feed the cats daily while also being his care giver and TNR at the same time.

I have a good relationship with the mall manager and security people, and I hope every day that I can pass the mall to the next person so that the cats can continue to live.
The average age of our Pearlridge feeders is over 60 years old. I am 65 years old myself.
We volunteers pay for everything, including food and medical treatment, out of our own pocket money, but as we are living almost entirely on pensions, we as volunteers have no way to raise money for the cats at the Pearlridge Mall at this time. I am posting this in the hope that if any organization or individual can help the Pearlridge volunteers in any way, please do so. My current situation is that if my husband gets worse, we will have to leave Hawaii. I can't predict when that will be because it depends on his symptoms, but by then I will do my daily routine of feeding the cats as much as I can until the end of time.
And now I am doing a little bit of TNR for cats that have not been spayed or neutered.

There is just one place where I can't trap them all by myself. In that case, I would like to ask for a donation from some organization to spay or neuter the cat, of course.
If any of you know of any organization that would be willing to take charge of or cooperate with and support Pearlridge and Newtown's food, even if not daily, please let me know and I would appreciate it.
