Ryan, Lora & Caleb Fund

Donation protected
Our hearts have been broken by the news that on July 6, 2018 Ryan and Lora Smith and their 4 year old son, Caleb, were tragically killed in Khada of the Republic of Georgia while on a camping trip.  It was initially reported by authorities that they died in a landslide. After a complete investigation it was concluded that Ryan and Caleb had been murdered and Lora died fleeing the attack from falling into a ravine. This new news has made it even more difficult for the family to even hear and comprehend. This fund is being setup to bring Ryan, Lora and Caleb home to their families here in the U.S. and to cover all the family members who will also be going to Georgia to collect their personal belongings, as well as all memorial and burial costs for the three of them. The order of events and what will actually take place is still being determined. The funds from this account will go directly to Byron and Lin Smith and they will be the specific family members to manage withdrawals. It has been beyond incredible to see the outpouring of love, prayer and support for both families. Thank you for your generosity. ❤️❤️❤️
