Bring Ria Gabrielle Williams Home

Donation protected
On February 3, 2020 Big Bear, California tragically lost Ria Gabrielle Williams and Paul Stockwell, two young people full of life and love for each other.  Ria had driven to Big Bear to visit her boyfriend Paul.  They met and were seen in town.

Here is where the story becomes murky.   They were gone overnight...then days.  Missing persons reports were filled out for both.  Later Ria's car was were found at the trailhead of a local trail.  Search hounds found the two young people in the woods...deceased. No more will her gentle smile grace others, or their common laughter be heard.

The ice-water shock of losing his 27 year old daughter has hit Ria's dad, Daryl Williams, with tremendous force.  He resides in Connecticut and wants with his whole heart for nothing more than to see his daughter smiling and whole.  Daryl will have to wait for Heaven for that privilege. In the meantime, he desires to transport his daughter remains to her home state, so Ria's mother, brothers, family and friends can mourn together.  

Imagine flying across country to retrieve your dead 27-year-old child.  In between your disbelief and grief, you still have final arrangements to make, and  the worry of not knowing exactly how you're going to pay for everything.

Please friends, will you help this grieving family say good-bye to their only daughter in the fashion they desire?   Violence has already robbed them of so much, can't we chip together and grant them this one last wish?

All funds will be transferred to Daryl Williams to cover the cost of final expenses.    For Paul's story
