Help Support a Healing Journey
Dear Friends, Family, and Community,
We are reaching out to you in a time of deep sorrow and need. Our beloved student, Mason Jassar, and his family are grieving the sudden and heartbreaking loss of his father, Rick Jassar. Rick leaves behind his loving wife Vanessa Jassar and his two beautiful children Mason Jassar and Hudson Jassar. This heartbreaking loss comes just a year after Mason and his father leaned on each other for comfort while grieving the passing of Mason’s grandfather in 2024. Now, Mason is facing a loss that no child should have to endure.
Mason is a bright, loving, and resilient child who thrives when surrounded by understanding and support. He has a strong connection with those who know him best and has always been uplifted by the care and guidance of his dedicated team. Mason attends a specialized program to meet his unique needs. Mason has nonverbal autism and is a complex individual requiring specific support needs. He thrives in an environment that is quiet where there is low stimulation, he has access to lots of opportunity for movement and staff who are highly trained in supporting individuals with unique needs. He requires a constant 1:1 support who can remain present and attuned to him to support with daily life tasks such as putting on his shoes, eating and self-care. Now, more than ever, Mason and his family need their community to stand beside them and help them through this difficult time.
We are raising funds to ensure that Mason can continue receiving care and support from the specialized team that knows him best. These funds will help:
- Maintain his access to his trusted support team, who play a crucial role in his healing and emotional well-being.
- Ensure he remains in a safe and loving environment, where he can grieve in his own way, surrounded by understanding and compassion.
- Provide Mason access to therapeutic supports that will guide him through a trauma informed approach to healing.
- Support his grieving family by helping provide the stability and care Mason needs during this difficult time.
Mason’s love for his family is immeasurable. He and his father shared precious moments of healing and connection, and we want to honor that bond by giving Mason the space and support he needs to process this immense loss. The road ahead is difficult, and with love, community, and care, we can help Mason and his family navigate this journey.
Any contribution, big or small, will make a difference in Mason’s life. If you are unable to donate, we ask that you please share this campaign to help us reach those who can.
Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support. Let’s come together to give Mason the stability, love, and care he needs. ❤️
