Ryan Ousley and his family in the Hurricane Helene aftermath

Hello all,

I am Benjamin Osborne, Nottingham, England.

It’s taken me a few days to come to terms with, and realise just how devastating recent events have been for my best friend, friends and all in Asheville, North Carolina.

Hurricane Helene has absolutely flawed this beautiful area, and left my best Friend Ry (Ryan Ousley) unable to work and support his beautiful family.

They have no power, no gas, no clean water, and no end in sight to even attempt to get back to a normal life. Even having to get buckets of water from nearby streams to flush a toilet…

As most of you are aware, Ry is a self employed Tattooer. His work, his life, his everything.

With no power, no clean water and absolutely no way to currently work out of his studio in Asheville, they are at serious risk of losing their studio and their home.

I am attempting what little I can do to help.

By donating absolutely anything you can, you can insure Ry can feed and protect his family for as long as possible during this timely rebuild.

Ry has never wanted for anything but to be able to work and support his family, imagine having your ability to work and live a normal life, taken from you over night….

Please find it in your hearts to donate anything you possibly can.

Much love, with a heavy heart, Ben x

(100% of the money will be sent directly in a bank transfer to Ryan Ousley (Instagram: @sugarbombtattoos and his family to help with daily life essentials such as food, water and rent)
