Jason sustained extensive, life-altering injuries to his hands and arms after suffering a severe electrocution that passed through both of his arms and across his chest for an unknown duration of time. The physical trauma is significant, and the road to recovery will be long and challenging.

Currently, Jason is living on a remote island that lacks the specialized neurological care he desperately needs. We recently received the devastating news that the only viable neurology facility in the state, located on Oʻahu, cannot accept his insurance. This means his only option for treatment and recovery is an emergency relocation to Colorado. He has spent months living in excruciating pain without answers, and as you can imagine, this injury is eating through his savings fast.

While he isn’t ready to discuss the full circumstances and trauma of what happened just yet, he urgently needs our support right now.

Jason is one of Colorado’s long-time advocates for health and Constitutional values. His decades of determination led to a landmark cannabis trial victory in 2009 and the co-authoring of pivotal hemp legislation in 2012 and 2013. 

Navigating the financial side of health recovery is proving to be a massive hurdle. We are currently waiting for insurance approvals and claims to be processed, creating a stressful financial gap for immediate out-of-pocket medical costs and daily living expenses. We want to focus all our energy on Jason’s healing, rather than the mounting stress of bills. If you are able to contribute, any donation will directly bridge this temporary gap.

Every dollar raised will directly fund Jason’s emergency relocation, ongoing healing, and medical rehabilitation:

• • Emergency Medical Flight: An immediate flight to Colorado to access the advanced, long-term neurological care he desperately needs, as all local facilities in Hawaiʻi are no longer an option.
  • Robotic Physical Therapy Devices: Robotic arm devices (spanning from shoulder to hand) to assist with movement and specialized physical therapy as he works to regain mobility and function.
  • Mobility & Assistance Service Dog: Funding to acquire and train a specialized service dog to help Jason safely navigate daily physical tasks while his arm and hand functions are compromised.
  • Retroactive & Ongoing Caregiving: Covering the cost of the full-time, round-the-clock in-home care Jason has required to survive since the incident in May, and funding a continued caregiving team moving forward.
  • Digital Assistant: Jason’s professional career requires consistent computer interaction, encompassing web development, legislative drafting, and public outreach. Due to heightened tactile sensitivity, operating a keyboard or mouse is currently difficult and painful. Dedicated funding will secure a digital assistant to perform manual computing tasks, enabling him to sustain his technical endeavors and professional commitments.
  • Housing & Transportation: Rent for a safe place to stay near the hospitals in Colorado, and a reliable vehicle for transportation to and from frequent appointments.
  • Daily Living: Nutritious food and basic living expenses while he is physically unable to work independently.
  • Medical Expenses: Out-of-pocket medical bills, treatments, deductibles, and necessary rehabilitation supplies.

We know that not everyone can contribute financially, and our hearts will rejoice with any type of support, even if it is a prayer. If you have resources, knowledge, or time, here are other critical ways you can support Mr. Hemp:

• • Medical Connections: Do you know anyone interested in conducting medical research or offering expertise on bilateral arm/hand and across-the-chest electrocution injuries? We are actively seeking specialized knowledge.
  • Alternative Healing: Are you a practitioner, or do you know one? Donations of medical/recovery supplies or access to alternative healing services are deeply appreciated.
  • Meals: Dropping off a meal (once he arrives in Colorado) or sending grocery gift cards.
  • Organizing Group Contributions: If personal financial support is not feasible, please consider coordinating group or organizational donations.
  • Share His Work: Visit, read, and share Lauve.com and LawOfLiving.com.

Please do not feel obligated to give financially. Your emotional support, words of encouragement, keeping Jason in your thoughts, and sharing this message with your network mean the world to us.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, generosity, and love during this difficult time.

With immense gratitude and love,

Jason Lauve, Sabrina Moani & Jason’s Support Team
