In the cold, early morning hours today (1/24/2026), our dear brother, Abi, beloved friend, and Beat Society alum, Jason “Sao” McCoy, experienced a devastating loss. A fire that began next door quickly spread to his home and in a matter of moments, everything he owned was gone. Sao escaped with only the clothes on his back...

Anyone who knows Sao knows his heart. Over the years, he has consistently shown up for his community — creating beauty out of dust, lifting others up, and bringing people together through his friendship, talent, and spirit. Now, in this moment of unimaginable loss and upheaval, he needs that same love and support returned to him.

We are asking for your help to support Sao as he begins the long journey of rebuilding. Immediate needs include basic necessities like: clothing, food, and toiletries, as well as longer-term needs such as: securing permanent housing, replacing important documents, and obtaining a laptop to help him get back on his feet.

In addition to losing his home, Sao also lost all of the tools he relied on for his livelihood. As many of you know, he has lovingly carried forward his father’s legacy by building a respected career as an esteemed electrician. The loss of his tools has temporarily taken away his ability to work, making this support even more critical.

Please know that any contribution — no matter the amount — truly makes a difference. Your generosity will help restore stability, dignity and hope as Sao works toward rebuilding his life.

Thank you for holding him in love during this incredibly difficult time.
