Please support Ryan Mazar‘s family after devastating tragedy

Donation protected
On April 22nd a devastating tragedy struck our family and friends. A young family of three were prawning in a boat out in the Finlayson Arm like they usually did and enjoyed to do often. Ryan, Mykaila and their 3 month old baby Ariel.
Ryan has prawned these waters for years.

Unexpectedly, all three were thrown overboard. Ryan made sure Mykaila had the baby and she immediately began swimming for the shore with baby Ariel on her chest. After swimming for two hours they were found on shore and are now recovering in hospital. Sadly, Ryan did not make it to shore with them and has not yet been found. Family, friends and the community are still actively searching for him.

Ryan became a new father again only three short months ago. He also has his first grandchild on the way within the next two weeks. Family and friends are experiencing birth, life and celebration. As well as facing uncertain futures, circumstances, and tragedy, we need to ban together to provide as much financial and emotional support for the babies, parents and family as we can. Anything at all is greatly appreciated, including prayers and love. We thank you very much for your time in reading, sharing and donating to help ease some worries during this unimaginable time. Please keep everyone involved in your prayers. ❤️

We love you Ryan and we love your family.

Again thank you for helping the family and taking the time to share this far and wide. There have been family members ( Joyce and Doug Volek) appointed to take care of any money raised to ease the burden of those directly affected.

Thank you
