Dear Friends.

On Friday, July 5, one of our Coop members (Kyohei Mitazaki, his wife Rena and their 6 year old daughter Asahi and 1 year old son Jin), were involved in an unspeakably tragic and fatal motor vehicle accident while they were beginning a camping trip. In an effort to support their family members to travel from their home country Japan to Nelson, BC, we have started this GoFundMe on behalf of the father (Yoshihiro MITAZAKI) to cover travel expenses and accommodation costs in order to give the deceased family's parents an opportunity to come to Nelson to mourn and celebrate these truly beautiful and kind people. Thank you for your support.
