This Go Fund Me is on behalf of the Dominguez McDonald Family. The family experienced the sudden loss of their husband/father, Retired Marine Michael Ryan McDonald, just over a week ago. After serving in the Marines for 20 years, Ryan was working abroad for a private company when he died. There are three boys in the family, all of whom have special needs. The boys last saw their father in September. Because of the boys' special needs and schedules, the mom did not work, and since the father worked abroad, the family does not have access to any of his finances at this time. The family is navigating the unexpected loss of their husband/father, bringing the body home, making funeral arrangements, and worrying about covering food and rent for the next month or two. This fundraiser is to help the family make sure their finances can be covered through December and January until the family's finances are situated and the mom can find employment. Any donation you can contribute will provide financial security to the family and emotional certainty to the boys, who are highly apprehensive about the future.
