Rev. Bruce Nakamura of the Lihue Hongwanji Mission is excited about making futomaki, or a large roll sushi, for the “Kokua for Jason” fundraising craft fair scheduled 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 12 at the church located across from Kapaia Stitchery. It will benefit Jason Cabot.
“He’s not a member of the church, but he was a Boy Scout from Troop 83, and his father Gilbert, was one of the troop leaders,” Nakamura said. “Everyone knows him, and how good a person he is.”
Several hundred people gathered over the weekend for the Jason Cabot Zumbathon Charity event at the Chiefess Kamakahelei Middle School covered court, helping to raise funds for Jason, who was injured in a 2013 swimming accident. He is paralyzed from his chest down with limited movement in his arms.
He is scheduled to return to Craig Rehabilitation Hospital in Denver in May, and more fundraisers are planned to help the young man with his expenses.
