Help Ryan and Paul Rebuild After recent Fire
Donation protected
My name is Ryan McCabe.
Two years ago, I made the decision to be my grandmother's full-time caretaker. Not an easy task when dealing with a stubborn woman who was perfectly comfortable putting her love for you on the line as a bargaining chip. But she soon learned the stubborn gene most certainly got passed on, and I was capable of holding my ground as well.
This past summer, she passed, and by this time, I had moved in completely and had also moved my special needs son, Paul, in with me as well for the nights that I had him.
I continued to live at the residence and was in the process of moving when this fire happened. The structure survived, but the remaining contents under the roof were destroyed and not salvageable.
I have found a new place to move into, but as I am setting things up, I'm realizing how much was really lost. You count your blessings, and I have, but I'm now at the point of realizing how behind I am in the ways of replacing everything.
I'm in no way trying to replace everything. I am definitely looking at things as necessary and luxury, even in terms of what I need to replace for my son Paul. Not everything needs to be replaced today, and I'm okay with that. It'll take time; I'm just hoping for some assistance in getting a step or kick in the right direction.
Thank you
