Single father of 3, house fire help
Donation protected
Ryan Yeoman is a veteran of the US ARMY, single father of three, and known by his friends and family as the first to show up and help.
On the morning of July 4th, Ryan marched in his children's hometown parade with his fellow VFW members. That night, after the local fireworks display, Ryan took his kids back to his apartment and put them to bed. At approximately 12 PM he woke to a fire alarm and smoke. He quickly scooped up his son and ran to his daughter's room. As he pulled his terrified daughters from their beds, the window burst in with flames. They escaped with their lives and the clothes on their backs. After securing his children in his car, Ryan returned to his neighbor's doors to make sure they were awake and evacuating. The firefighters said the fire started on the rear deck and quickly spread to the apartment wall. It consumed the home and what was not burnt or smoke damaged was soaked beyond repair. Ryan is left with no home, no clothes, and nothing for his children.
We (his family) are asking for help from friends, family and the community he was born and raised in. ALL donations will be used for a deposit and first month's rent on a new apartment, used furnishings, clothes for the kids and Ryan, and basic housewares. If anybody can donate clothing (Clothing sizes: boys 8, girls 8 and 12 Ryan: 38/30 pants, XXl shirts) or furniture we will happily accept. Gift cards would be great too. We appreciate any and all help!
