I don’t even know where to begin…

Over Easter weekend, my brother Ryan lost everything in a devastating house fire in Malakwa, BC. His home—everything he built with his own hands, everything he owned, and every memory he held onto—was gone in a matter of moments. There was no time to save anything. He walked away with only the clothes on his back.

Ryan had just left to say his final goodbyes to his grandmother in Vernon when he received the call from the RCMP and fire department—his home was burning to the ground.

In the span of a single day, Ryan lost both his home and his grandmother.

To make matters even more difficult, there was no insurance coverage in place during renovations. That means Ryan is now facing the unimaginable task of rebuilding his entire life completely on his own.

We are asking, from the bottom of our hearts, for your help.

If you are able to donate—even a small amount—it will go directly toward helping Ryan begin again: securing basic necessities, finding temporary housing, and eventually rebuilding what was lost.

If you can’t donate, sharing this with others could make all the difference.

Please help us show Ryan that he’s not alone—that even in the darkest moments, there is still kindness, community, and hope.

Thank you for standing with him when he needs it most. ❤️
