Ryan Ellington was a fun and caring person who touched the lives of everyone around him. When I felt like I had no one to talk to, I knew I could always go to him, and he gave the best hugs. His kindness and warmth made a difference to so many people, and his loss is deeply felt by all who knew him.

Sadly, Ryan's passing was very unexpected, and his mom is now facing the difficult task of arranging his funeral. The suddenness of this loss has left her with expenses she was not prepared for, and she is struggling to cover the cost of anything needed to put him to rest. This fundraiser is a way for us to come together and support her during this incredibly hard time.

Any help you can give means so much to me, to Ryan's mom, and to everyone who loved him. Your support will help ease the financial burden and allow us to honor Ryan's memory in a meaningful way. Thank you for being there for us in this difficult time.
