Hello everyone!

I’m setting up this GoFundMe for my dear friend and former colleague, Saori, and her husband, Jasper. Tragically, they recently lost their house and belongings in a devastating fire. We are raising funds to offer them immediate relief and support as they begin the difficult process of rebuilding their lives. It’s heartbreaking to see them go through this, and any help—no matter how small—would make a meaningful difference. Your generosity and kindness are deeply appreciated. Thank you so much for your support!

*Saori and I worked as tour guides in Japan for five years. Even after moving on from our jobs, we stayed close friends, frequently travelling between Vancouver and Seattle to visit each other and create wonderful memories together.
