Thanks for your generous offer. The priority is to find a place for this athlete to land. There must be someone in for Kona that can spare a couch.

Its kind of late in the game for this, how about a go fund me page? Can they be set up for such a short time period? I would give a few bucks, like a lot would I presume, if you gave a little more of his story, and who he actually is. I presume one of the African runners turned triathlete? It would be way easier to get a little bit from a lot of people, than a lot from one person at the moment..

Good luck to whoever it is..

He should register at the "couch surfing" website to see if anyone is offering a place. I've never used it, but I know someone who has an she says it is great.

The more people I encounter the more I love my cats.

There are campgrounds all over the big island. Kona on a budget would be a great video.

I know it's late in the game. I just found out about the situation shortly before posting. I was reluctant to ask for monetary donations. Honestly, I'm not sure how to help this fellow out. He needs a place to stay, and asking for that seemed to make the most sense. I'll touch base with him today and see what info he's comfortable sharing.

Thanks all for the suggestions. My first time doing something like this, so it's much appreciated.

How much $$$ do you figure he needs for the trip? I suggest having a "goal amount." Maybe someone will feel sorry enough for him that he can't afford this 10 day trip to Hawaii, a better bike, etc....

That sucks that he is not sponsored by this time. Is that unusual for an athlete of his caliber?
