Help Ryan & Sons Find a Home

Donation protected
I was born and raised in Sandy, Utah, and have spent my whole life here. I went to Jordan High School and have worked various construction jobs, always trying to make ends meet. Financial struggles have been a constant challenge, and after going through a terrible fentanyl addiction, I lost my support system and ended up homeless. Despite everything, I’m working a part-time job and searching for more work every day, determined to turn things around for myself and my family. I have been sober since the end of August of 2025

My two sons, Ray and Enzo, are my world. Ray is two years old and Enzo is just four months old. I’ve been separated from Ray for most of his life and have never had the chance to live with him fully, but I spend as much time as I can with him and Enzo every week. All I want is to give them a safe, stable home where we can be together and start fresh. If I could just get help with a deposit and first month’s rent for an apartment, I know I could find steady work and keep up with the bills.

I want to personally thank anyone who supports us. It’s incredibly hard being out in the cold and struggling, especially with two kids looking up to me to save them. Your help would mean the world to us and give us hope for a better future.
