Rory Pope

Donation protected
Prior to Wednesday, I had no inkling that the Pope family existed. I am Shawna Green, one of the MANY volunteers that searched for Rory.  One day prior from the recovery of Rory, there was an abundance of individuals asking if they can help. The volunteer station was flooded with food, water, and other items. The natural thing to do was open a GFM account for the family to help with essentials. 

Sadly, the rescue turned into a recovery; therefore the original purpose of the money has been altered, as I mentioned below. The beneficiary will be the grandfather of Rory. Dave Wilkinson will have the opportunity  to help the family delegate where funds are used. The money will be used for much more than the funeral/burial site. The money will be utilized for long-term counseling  for the parents/ siblings to help with their grief. In conjunction, the money will help them relocate to Idaho to be near family during this undesirable time.

Please see below for more information about the Pope Family...


I’m setting up a GFM account on behalf of the Pope Family. As many of you know, Rory went missing Wednesday, September 2nd. I received more insight about the family, and wanted to share their back story:

Two weeks ago, the Pope family set out to find a better place to live. Living in San Jose, California, both parents were laid-off because both were deemed “non-essential workers.” In conjunction, California’s unemployment has begun running out of money; therefore, their monthly unemployment stipend had decreased.

The young couple and their children set out to explore options within Idaho.

On September 2nd, the Pope’s lives were forever changed. Their son, Rory, went missing. Three days later, their 2-year-old son was recovered in a pond.


I am asking the community to come together and give what they can to the GFM account.
