SUPPORT FIREFIGHTER RYAN JONES’ RECOVERY

For more than 20 years, North Mason Regional Fire Authority Firefighter Ryan Jones has dedicated himself to serving his community and helping others in their greatest times of need.

Recently, Ryan suffered a serious fall while working in the line of duty, resulting in significant injuries. Ryan has undergone an extensive surgery and is now beginning what will be a long road to recovery.

The months ahead will include continued medical care, rehabilitation, and significant time away from work as Ryan focuses on healing.

After more than two decades of answering the call for others, it’s our turn to answer the call for Ryan.

All funds raised will go directly to Ryan to help with medical expenses, everyday living expenses, and the costs associated with his ongoing recovery.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

DONATE — Every contribution makes a difference. https://gofund.me/71663262e
SHARE — Help us spread the word throughout our community.
SUPPORT — Keep Ryan in your thoughts and prayers throughout his recovery.

Thank you for rallying around one of our own and supporting Ryan during the road ahead.

It’s about the struggle of working people fighting for a seat at the table, fair wages, fair hours, safe working conditions, and a voice in the workplace.
