Rebuild Family Homes and Businesses in El Paredon

My name is Ryan and I’ve been visiting El Paredon since 2012. I’ve brought many friends and clients here who enjoy this amazing village and know it’s charm.

With devastating news, I bring you this GoFundMe to recuperate funds to help rebuild those affected. My lovely girlfriend Isabel and her family’s hotel, Buena Vista, has been destroyed. The neighbors' homes and businesses are also all gone. (Lucy & Oliver, Pipa, and Hotel Swell) are all severely damaged or no longer existing.

My heart sits heavy with the last one I really wish to help. As many of you know, we have a jiujitsu nonprofit for the local village kids, “Ninos Guerreros.” One student of the ninos classes, “Juanca,” is 6 years old. His family’s home has burned to the ground. His father is a local surf instructor and they lost everything. I feel I have contacts globally and shared this special place with many of you. So please share and donate. Let’s bring the surf and jiujitsu community together. Give back. And help rebuild. Anything’s helps!

Please donate, and we will put the funds in the correct place for those who need it most.
