I’m writing this on behalf of a family who is walking through an unimaginable loss.

Ryatt Sadler passed away just 7 hours after officially being adopted by the family who loved him so deeply. While their hearts are completely shattered, they are holding onto the truth that Ryatt is now whole, walking, talking, and able to see in the arms of Jesus.

Ryatt’s life began with heartbreaking circumstances. He suffered severe physical abuse at the hands of his biological family, leaving him with life altering injuries. But God had a different plan for his story. He placed Ryatt into a home where he would be safe, cherished, and unconditionally loved.

For the past two years, this family poured everything they had into loving Ryatt. Though he could not walk, talk, or see, he knew love. He was surrounded by it every single day. His life, while incredibly difficult, was also incredibly meaningful. He changed everyone who knew him.

Now, as this family grieves the loss of their sweet boy, they are also facing the financial burden of funeral and memorial expenses. I am asking, on their behalf, for any support you feel led to give, whether through a donation, sharing this page, or praying for them in the days ahead.

They are also committed to continuing Ryatt’s story by seeking justice for the abuse he endured and being a voice for him.

Please consider coming alongside this family as they navigate this heartbreaking time and honor the life of a boy who fought so hard and was so deeply loved.

Thank you for supporting them and for helping honor Ryatt’s beautiful life.
