We—Marissa Nonaka and Jaime Sonoda from Concord, California — are clients turned friends of Maui resident Jason Runyon. We’re reaching out to you with heavy hearts to support Jason, a beloved member of our community who has tragically lost his family’s livelihood in a devastating fire that engulfed his workplace in Maui.
The flames took away not only their belongings but also their sense of security and peace of mind. Jason is an individual whose love and dedication doesn’t just stop with his friends and family. His generous and supportive nature has impacted the lives of thousands of people globally who travel to Maui to learn how to surf. As a self-employed surf instructor, his love of surfing and his easy-going and nurturing personality empowers his students of all ages to discover a new-found skill and joy.
With resilience and gratitude, Jason has always been there to lend a helping hand to those in need. Currently, he has taken another family into his home who completely lost everything in the fires. Now, it’s our turn to rally around him and provide the support he and his family deserves during this difficult time. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will go directly towards helping Jason rebuild their life from the ground up. The funds will help secure basic necessities like shelter, food and clothing. Let’s show Jason that they are not alone and that their community stands strong beside them. Your donation will not only aid in their recovery but also serve as a symbol of compassion and unity.
