Update: Funeral and Bill Expenses

Donation protected
Update: We wanted to update to let everyone know that the funerals have been said to be covered. I have been asked by many if I will leave the page open for a little bit longer because people still would like to donate to the families through this time of need. So I have decided we will leave the page up till Friday for people that still would like to donate to the families. Josh, the father of the 7 year old, is the only one that works, and at this time he does not need to worry about bills. Both families needs time to grieve and spend time with the people they love. But the bills don’t stop... there is still a light bill, water bill, phone bill, vehicle bills, food, etc.... so from here on out, the money will still be split between the families because Ryland's parents that will have the other 2 children are going to need some help also because they will have extra people in their home as well. So moving forward, the money that is raised will go to the families to cover extra expenses and so Josh and the grandparents of Ryland's children will not have to worry about anything right now. Thank you all again to the people that has helped already. This family is so blessed to have all the support through this time of need.

Please read and help...... Saturday night, July 18th, three innocent lives were taken. A night that was just going to be a fun filled night fishing took a turn for the worst. A night no one wants to experience, that no one wants to go through. Crossing over 43 Highway, a drunk driver with no headlights came up behide the ATV that the 3 were on and hit them. That’s the night we lost 3 beautiful lives. That’s the night that a mother and father's life froze, that’s the night a daughter and a son's life changed forever. We never want to see this happen, we never want this phone call. But when God calls us home, that means it’s our time.

These 2 families were not prepared for this at all. So this Gofundme page is asking if you feel in your heart to give, please do so, nothing is too little. With that being said this amount is going to be split to cover the cost of 3  funerals. If you look at the amount, yes it is a large amount, but think about how much 1 funeral is. We are covering 3, so please please help. The first life that was taken was a beautiful, happy, sassy 7 year old, Marleyanna Skinner (MootMoot). The parents are Josh and Brittany Skinner, and Marleyanna also has a two year old sister.

The second life that was taken was Ryland Daughtridge, 36. He was the cook at Brian's CheeseSteak. A wonderful father that also took the mom name too. He loved his kids, and everyone that knew him loved him. He left behide a daughter and son. The third life that was taken was Ryland's youngest daughter, Autumn, age 12. A beautiful young soul that was full of life and full of smiles.

These families need help and to make sure that they can give their babies just what they deserve. Please, if you can find it in your heart to donate, please do.
