Ryan's Funeral Fund

My brother, Ryan, passed away on January 15, 2019. He was a disabled veteran from the United States Air Force. He was an amazing guy who was loyal, giving, kind, funny, and had the biggest heart I've ever known. He always gave whatever he had, whether time or money, to those in need. He was always concerned for others welfare more than his own. He stood up for the weak and those that couldn't fight for themselves even with risks to his own life. Ryan will be deeply missed. He was raised by a single mother, who loved him. This fund is to give my brother a proper burial without financial strains on my mother. While the VA may reimburse my mother for a portion of the funeral, it is not guaranteed and everything must be paid up front for them to even look at it. Also, the government shutdown doesn't help at all. If anyone is able to help with these unexpected funeral costs, we would be so appreciative. Stories and memories are welcome too.
