Help our friends the Payumos

Hi my name is Frank Kakouros and I want to help some great people. The Payumos are a lovely couple the whole pool world knows. They would give you the shirt off their backs. They are always the first to help without offer. Tragedy in the form of a house fire has left them homeless and that feeling cannot be explained. Jess and Ren need our help now.

Let's pitch in and help these guys out when they NEED us. No home, no possessions. Let's see what we can do as a community.

ADDENDUM:

We are reaching out to you with heavy hearts and hopeful spirits to ask for your support for our dear friend, Ren Payumo and Family. Recently, Ren faced an unimaginable tragedy when his home was destroyed in a fire. This devastating event was not caused by negligence but by an intense personal struggle that Ren has been battling silently for far too long.

Ren has always been a pillar of strength and kindness in our community. He is a devoted father, a caring friend, and a tireless worker who has always put others before himself. However, behind his warm smile and selfless nature, Ren has been grappling with severe mental health challenges. These issues reached a breaking point, and in a moment of profound distress, he accidentally set his home ablaze. The fire resulted in the total loss of his house and all of its contents.

Ren is now facing a long and difficult road to recovery, not just in terms of rebuilding his home but also in addressing his mental health struggles. He is seeking professional help and counseling, and we believe that with the right support, he can begin to heal and rebuild his life.

How You Can Help:

We have started this GoFundMe campaign to assist Ren and Family in the following ways:

1. Basic Necessities: The fire destroyed all of Ren’s belongings, so the funds will help replace basic necessities such as clothing, household items, and personal effects.

Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in Ren’s life. Your generosity will not only help him get back on his feet but also provide him with the emotional and financial support he needs to overcome this challenging period.

We understand that these are difficult times for everyone, but any support you can offer will be greatly appreciated. Please share this campaign with your network and help us spread the word.

From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for your kindness and compassion.

Mental health is often suffered in silence and Ren wants everyone to know to reach out for help when they feel they are powerless.
