Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit this JustGiving page.

It's been created to allow Ryan's many friends and family members to pay their respects, by supporting a cause which he held so dear. 

Ryan worked for many years for the Big Issue, part of the team which launched the Big Issue Cymru in Cardiff in the mid-90's. The issue of homelessness continued to be close to Ryan's heart, long after moving into a new career. Ryan was always the first to help those who were suffering and would go to great lengths to support others. 

His impact was evident in the warmth the Big Issue vendors showed towards Ryan, many years after he had left the organisation. He took so much pleasure in seeing how their lives had improved, or continuing to help them out if life still proved a struggle for them. 

Ryan had a huge heart, I'm sure he'd be happy and grateful to see your donations go towards Shelter Cymru's work for the homeless in Wales, which is needed now, more than ever. 

We too are so very grateful. Thank you.
