In 2017, Eva's mother, Vera was diagnosed with a rare neurodegenerative brain disease called Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP). The disease has completely changed her mother's life and the family supporting her. Currently, there is no cure for PSP, which is why we hope to drive awareness and funding to learn more about the cause of this disease and hope to one day find a cure to prevent other families from suffering. Any contribution you are able or willing to make is greatly appreciated. You may also donate directly to the charity at psp.org and add either Eva or Ryan's personal email to be notified of your contribution.

COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic on March 11, 2020, putting lives and livelihoods at risk. It is also why we are unable to celebrate our marriage as originally planned. Join us in combatting COVID-19 through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation so that we can come together and celebrate.

The Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services (RAICES) is an effort that is also near and dear to our hearts. Eva’s mother and sister immigrated from former Czechoslovakia in the 1970s at the height of the Cold War. Much like immigrants today, they were seeking better opportunities in North America. Ryan and Eva are active contributors to RAICES in the hopes of empowering underprivileged individuals and families to have the same opportunity.

The Natural Resources Defense Council helps protect our beautiful world. Our appreciation for the outdoors has grown exponentially after moving to the PNW and traveling to other parts of the world. We want to support organizations that continue to invest in preserving our natural resources. You may also make a donation directly through the website: nrdc.org.

Our dream is take a honeymoon in Israel and Jordan following our wedding. Any contributions would be greatly appreciated.
