Jacosa Nao Kato's Memorial Fund

This world has lost a brilliant light of compassion, strength, incredible talent, and love. Jacosa affected all that knew her, no matter how briefly, and children and grown-ups alike will forever miss the beacon of her smile. May we all carry Jacosa Nao Kato's artistic torch into the future with as much presence, commitment, and joy as she brought to everyday of her short, fierce, and full life.

All gifts made in Jacosa's honor will be used to fund the journey to Japan to place Jacosa Nao Kato's ashes in the Kato family shrine in Omiya, Saitama. Jacosa's father, Kiyoaki Kato, and sister, Kasumi Kato, will travel to Japan together.
