Help support Jason's family

Hi, we are Gary and Lydia and we are asking for help for Jason Pita's wife and family to survive without their husband, and father and provider. Jason tragically died from a shark bite while diving for fish for his family on Monday 25 April.

Many of you reading this will have memories of this wonderful man and the life-changing experiences he gave you as a fishing/surfing/diving/bird-watching guide at Vavaghio Guest House in Solomon Islands. Jason was a man with an incredible knowledge of the sea and nature which he willingly shared with his infectious smile and with kindness and generosity.

Many of you will also know or can imagine the difficulties that will be encountered by his wife Kylie and his children (Tina, Treasure, Lynette Joy and little Lydia) without their provider of food and the basic necessities of life. There is no social welfare in Solomons.

We are heart-broken that such a good man has passed before his time and would ask if you are able to help Kylie and the children, in Jason's memory.

Thank you so much,

Gary and Lydia
