Hi My Name is Maranda and I come to you all humbly for support. As many of you know our family experienced a huge loss March 6th 2024 when Ryan lost his life at the age of 49, after a short and aggressive battle with Glioblastoma a very rare type of brain cancer. Ryan is my cousin by heart and marriage to his beloved Wife my cousin Melanie. They would have celebrated their 26th year wedding anniversary on March 26th 2024. Never in my life have I ever seen a couple more in love and devoted to each other and their family. Never have I seen a man protect and provide for his family the way Ryan did.

If you ever got even 5 minutes in their presence together you know exactly what I mean. For 30 years Melanin and the kids were incredibly blessed to have Ryan as the sole provider for their family. Melanie worked part time and was most amazing stay at home mother and Wife. You could imagine how the loss of Ryan has not only impacted her emotionally but also financially as well. Since Ryan’s passing, Melanie has not been able to work at all, lost her husband’s income which supported their finances 100%. She is struggling and I want to help her in anyway possible. I’m am well aware of the fact that everyone is experiencing challenging times financially. If all you can do is share this with your friends and family that would be extremely appreciated by our entire family as we are doing everything possible to come together and support Melanie and the kids in their most difficult time of life. Thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you for sharing and donating. If you do not feel comfortable sending a donation through this platform please reach out to me and we will figure out another way. Thank you kindly.
