Samantha Dutton, Remembering Maverick

"Our family is so thankful for Ryker's Rainbow. Our sweet boy went to his heavenly home on August 19, 2021. The hardest part of losing a child is living with it every day afterward. Ryker's Rainbow showed us that we weren’t alone no matter how alone we felt, and we were shown nothing but love & comfort during the most terrifying, most tragic time of our lives.

Ryker's Rainbow gifted our family a box of keepsakes, which I hold close to my heart, assisted us with the cost of a marker, & also a gift called Sprite for our daughter who has been grieving the loss of her brother.

I later learned that there is no greater bond than the connection between parents who understand the agony of enduring the death of a child. It’s a pain we suffer for a lifetime. Ryker's Rainbow & their mission of love will forever be in our hearts."
