On Sunday, December 1st, after a long and hard-fought battle with cancer, Ryan Kirk left this world. He will be remembered for his enviable intelligence, sharp wit, warm heart, and joyful spirit. Ryan's life, while cut short, was filled with adventures traveling around the world. Even still, he would say his most important adventure was that of being a father.

As the godparent to Ryan's two young children, Anna (3) and Amaya (5), I ask that you consider making a donation to support them. Sadly, Ryan was unable to leave a trust or life insurance policy to provide for his children's future, but it was his hope that his children would be taken care of after his passing. Your generosity will help ensure that Anna and Amaya have the resources they need to navigate this difficult time and build bright futures. 

Your donation will help provide:

Grief counseling: To help Amaya and Anna cope with the loss of their beloved father.

Educational expenses: To contribute to their future education, whether it be tutoring or college savings.

Basic needs and medical expenses: To assist with everyday expenses such as food, clothing, and extracurricular activities, as well as assist with medical expenses related to Amaya's metabolic disorder.

A loving tribute: To honor Ryan's memory by investing in the future he envisioned for his daughters.

Ryan's memory will live on through his daughters, his family, and the countless lives he touched with his kindness, humor, and zest for life. 

Thank you for your support.
