After the fire: Help the Ryder-McMurray family
Spende geschützt
My wonderful parents, Rande McMurray and Morgan Ryder, along with their young sons, recently lost everything they own in a devastating house fire. From all of their clothes, furniture, sentimental items, toys, and even presents purchased for the boys for Christmas later this year - everything is gone.
They are incredibly selfless people who have dedicated the last 20+ years of their life to raising foster children, and Morgan acts as Minister at several local churches. They are always there to help friends and neighbours whenever they are needed.
Now, their family needs our help. A fire started in the barn on their property in Rose Lake (near Burns Lake, BC) on September 29, 2019, and quickly spread to the neighbouring shed and then the house. The rural location of their property prevented local firefighting crews from being able to reach them. As a result, they have lost everything, and the only home they knew.
Eventually insurance should help begin to cover costs, but it will be a very slow process. Until then, they are in a temporary living situation and soon will be renting a 2 bedroom house. In the meantime their whole lives are turned upside down as they try to build up the necessities of life, including clothes, bedding, new mattresses, furniture, toiletries, medication, kitchen supplies and toys for the kids. They also have to contend with gas prices as they travel to town and Prince George to get supplies, driving 3 hours each way.
Their local community has so quickly and lovingly rallied around them. For those family and friends from near and far who love them, we also wanted to establish an easy way to support them.
I am hoping we can raise these funds to get them back on their feet quickly.
