Fundraiser for Ryan and the Balbag Family

Donation protected
This year we all tragically lost one of the best humans that I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Ryan was a son, brother (both by blood and not) and friend to so many of us. He made the world a better place wherever he went and truly brought out the best in those around him. Ryan still had so much life left to live when he was taken from us suddenly, him taking his final breath on the 5th of February 2022. Now all we want is to help and support his family in any way possible during this hard time. All money collected will be given directly to the immediate family of Ryan Balbag so that they may use it towards the funeral services and memorial and to help with hopefully bringing about a conclusion to the case. Sadly at the moment, no new information has yet to come forward in regards to who the shooter or shooters were. We are all still clinging on to the hope that justice will eventually be served however, so please keep the prayers going and the video shared. The money won't be able to bring Ryan back sadly, but I hope that it may be able to offer at the very least some financial assistance and comfort to the family and may help to relieve the financial stress and burden that comes with the expenses associated with planning a wake and funeral. If you have the means to and would like please consider donating to this page and sharing, it means more than you will ever know to so many of us. Aside from that please keep the memory of Ryan alive and remember him fondly and with love and a smile. Ryan was always smiling and just had the most wholesome and positive aura about him, and I would like to think that in the end that is how he would want us to continue on his legacy and memory. Thank you for your time and consideration and for any questions regarding the incident or anything else feel free to reach out to me on facebook, James Armband. Life is short so be sure to tell your loved ones that you love them today, and please be safe and continue to pray for the Balbag Family and that hopefully one day, the world can be a better, safer and more united place.

Sincearly,
James Armband
