(As things change I will continue to update this blog post. So below there have been added a number of new bullet points capturing a few alternative options to be involved.)
I’ve just added a new tab to the top of the blog that reads “How to Help“. So many people have asked this question or have been asked it by others that in a random moment of clarity I thought “Hmm, maybe I should post a written response…” Revolutionary right?
Many people have asked how they can help our family and/or support Grassroots Conspiracy financially. Let me do my best to give you a few options:
- To help fund our trip to Disneyland (that just happened, is going to happen again, and is still being paid for) you can make a tax deductible donation via paypal. Send money to troywagner@mac.com and mark it as a gift for Ryan Woods.
- To setup monthly tax deductible donations that supports our work in leading Grassroots Conspiracy you can go here: http://su.pr/1VwRyQ
- To send money or checks that support our work in leading Grassroots Conspiracy you can mail a check written to “Renovatus” and earmarked for Ryan Woods or Grassroots Conspiracy to PO Box 873575 Vancouver, WA 98687
- To donate monies that go directly toward our medical expenses you can deposit money through any Columbia Credit Union bank via account number: 444289
- Another way to donate monies that go directly to our medical expenses is to send money via paypal to jonesandindia@gmail.com
Here are a few alternative ways to support our family:
- Help us tell our story. Forward people to my blog, invite them to follow the posts concerning cancer, and invite people to sign up for our Downtown Dispatch.
- While my future health is unknown a group still intends to move forward with (what will become) our annual Summer fundraiser. Last year on July 17th hundreds of people showed up at Pop Culture to support our family via live music, raffles, and donations. It was overwhelmingly beautiful. The idea is that this fundraiser will happen each year with or without me, with all proceeds going toward an appropriate destination. Please anticipate this event with us!
- As other events and fundraisers develop I will add them to this page. At this point a local restaurant is hosting one on April 29th. To find out more visit the facebook info page: http://su.pr/4KxeYP
- We are still trying to figure out what helpful meals and housework will look like in our current context. As this develops we will provide contact info here.
I know I have just provided too many options and most likely convoluted things a bit! The reality however is that it all ends up in the same place regardless of what method you use. Especially if things are nearing the end as the doctors say that they are, the lines between medical expenses, special trips with the family, and part-time salary wages from the church are becoming more and more blurry.
Please feel free to contact me with questions if you need clarity or further information. Email is preferred: ryan@gr-c.org
Ryan and family,
I am not sure how I came across your blog but I have been following it for awhile now. I pray for you and your family and pray you will be healed and if not that your family will feel comforted by our Lord. My heart breaks for your family, I can not image what you are going through but your strength, faith, courage and love inspire me to be a better person and make more memories with my children and husband. I am also from Vancouver and everytime I am downtown I think of you and your love for our city. Your family sounds like an amazing family that I wish I had had the chance to meet you all and call you friends. I know right now time is precious and I do not expect a reply but I do hope you have a moment to read this and know you are in my prayers. I am sorry I can not contribute financially but I do send my prayers and love.
