Help the Copeland Family Keep Their Transportation

Our Story

My younger brother Ryan and his wife Rachel are facing one of the most challenging seasons of their lives. This faithful family of nine—parents and seven children—needs support during this difficult time.

Ryan, a user-experience designer (basically, designs software interfaces), was laid off in October 2024. Despite his skills, experience, and countless applications and interviews, the job market has been incredibly tough. He's taken on odd jobs whenever possible, but it hasn't been enough to cover their family's basic needs.

Recognizing they needed multiple income streams, Ryan and Rachel started a cleaning business about 18 months ago. While they've worked to build this venture, they're still in the early stages and haven't generated enough consistent income yet.

Where They Are Now

For the past several months, the Copeland family has been living month-to-month. They rent a home and were able to renew their lease (praise God!). God has been faithful and provided just-in-time rent payments each month—but their debt is overwhelming, and they have recently filed for bankruptcy.

Now they face losing their family van—their only vehicle—through the bankruptcy process. Without reliable transportation, Ryan cannot continue his job search effectively, maintain their cleaning business, or ensure their children can get to youth group.

Our Faith and Hope

Ryan and Rachel are committed Christians who have always trusted in God's provision. They've been active members of their church community, serving others whenever possible. We're reminded of Acts 4:32-34, where the early church "had everything in common" and "there were no needy persons among them" because believers shared what they had with those in need.

We believe God works through His people, and we're humbly asking our brothers and sisters in Christ—and anyone with a generous heart—to be part of God's provision for this family.

Our Commitment

Ryan and Rachel aren't looking for a handout—they're working hard to rebuild. Your support will give them the breathing room they need to keep their transportation and continue growing their business while Ryan searches for permanent employment.

This family has seven beautiful children who are watching how their parents handle this trial with faith and dignity. Your generosity doesn't just meet immediate needs—it shows these kids that the body of Christ truly cares for one another.

"And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4:19
