Last week’s storms in Nashville caused severe interior damage to the humble home of the Ryan family - Matt, Julia, Cleo, Rui, and Dune - when the pipes in their attic burst, flooding the house and leaving it unsafe to live or dwell in. They’re facing extensive water damage, mold, replacing necessities, and necessary relocation to temporary housing, among other things. This comes less than a year after a severe flood in Nashville caused harm to their home and washed many of their items away.

As they face a million next steps and uncertainty about how much of the ice storm damage insurance will cover, we know many will feel compelled to help, just as the Ryans would for us.

To know Matt, Julia and their kids is to adore them. If you feel called to be in their corner during this difficult time, we invite you to do so.

No doubt, this is a family who will pay it forward time and time again when they’re back on their feet – just as they’ve always done. Thank you for supporting this family and for helping Nashville neighbors recover together.
