Our History

The David Ryan charity is a 501(c) non-profit created to elevate the accessibility of provisions to disadvantaged communities by offering desirable resources to aid in their self-care and instruction to persons with HIV, the medications available to assist them in their health preservation. Efforts to reach this goal began with the distribution of care bags to a shunned population, including the LGBTQ and the homeless. These bags primarily provided hygiene materials such as deodorant, soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, socks, etc.
Our itinerary includes, but is not limited to, assisting un-housed veterans to apply for housing and social services via computer access, educating about HIV prevention and advocacy, while partnering with other organizations to actively promote this mission. It also includes first-aid items, including but not limited to, bandages, hand cleansing wipes, antiseptic ointment, etc.
This charity is in honor of David Ryan Edwards, who was a prevention specialist actively assisting in HIV awareness by testing persons, educating them, and offering instruction to persons with HIV, the medications available to assist them in their health preservation and medications accessible for treatment. He recognized the disparity in the attention granted to those in the urban neighborhoods. His regimen in his HIV self-care maintained his high energy presented in the passion displayed using his musical talents and all things MARVEL.
