Help Ryan Heinke Get His Life Back!

Donation protected
HI!

I Made this gofundme to try to help out one of the most well intentioned, thoughtful, and hard working people I've ever met, Ryan Heinke.

The past few months have been a whirlwird of terrible events beyond his control.

The restaurant he was working at for the past year in Guerneville closed right before the winter, leaving him jobless in an area that is notoriously hard to find year round work in. 

Shortly after losing his job, Guerneville experienced catastrophic flooding.  The small road he lives off of had significant damage, making it impossible for his to access his home for nearly 6 weeks.

When he returned home to the property, the majority of his appliances, furniture, clothing, and personal items were broken or damaged.

Somewhere after returning home as the floods calmed down, he landed a job doing construction about 45 minutes from where he lives.

A few weeks into the job, he was driving down the hill one morning on his way to work.  A hillside to his left had eroded during the floods, causing a stream to run over the road.  As he drove across this section of his daily drive, his car hydroplaned and he was sent of the side of a very steep road.  Luckily a tree stopped his car from falling farther down the hillside, and he was able to climb out of the totaled car with no extensive physical damage.

Between the unforeseen loss of his job, damage to his house, totaling his car, and medical bills, Ryan has still carried on, trying to climb out of debt and leave this mess behind him.  He isn't the type of person to ask for help and that's why I'm making this for him. 

The money will go directly to Ryan to help him rebuild his life and take care of his precious dog Yoshi!  

We love you Ryan!!!
