Thank you for the article about Ryan Grant.
I know this young man and his family. Ryan was fortunate to be brought up in a loving, supportive, caring home. He was taught to be kind and loving to everyone.
To succeed in life trusting the world around you is difficult enough, but to be so trusting that you are taken advantage of is cruel.
Ryan will be fine. Perhaps the person that stole from him won’t be.
Maybe that person was not given the love and support that Ryan has.
I sincerely hope Ryan will not let this incident cloud his infectious smile and outgoing personality.
Thank you.
