‘Help Ronnie's kids find joy amidst tragedy': Dumas family PI sets up GoFundMe for kids to attend summer camp
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) — The private investigator for the family of the still-missing Huntsville realtor has set up a GoFundMe for the children to go to summer camp and for the eldest's birthday in a few days. 'Help Ronnie's kids find joy amidst tragedy,' James Andrews said. Ronald Leslie Dumas Jr., 37, was last seen on Dec. 15, 2024. A missing persons report was filed on Tuesday, Dec. 17, 2024, and he was placed on the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency's Missing Persons List as a missing adult on Dec. 23. The Huntsville Police Department and ALEA upgraded the missing adult alert for Dumas to a missing and endangered person alert on Feb. 7, saying he 'is believed to have been abducted and in danger of bodily harm or death.' Andrews, the family's private investigator, has now created a GoFundMe to support Dumas' kids as they head into the summer months. 'Ronnie is a dedicated father who loves his children, and he was involved in every aspect of their lives right up until the moment he was taken away from them,' the GoFundMe reads. Kai is 12, Lindsi is 6 and Ryili is 4. 'Kai turns 13 on June 11th, and he wants to celebrate at the Lego store. Kai, Lindsi, and Ryili would all like to go to summer camp this year, and from personal experience, I know how beneficial that would be for them! Summer camp alone for the 3 kids will be a few thousand dollars, but it will be worth every penny to bring these children some joy and moments of peace,' Andrews wrote. ALL funds raised will go directly toward helping the kids feel some sense of normalcy while their mothers and other family members continue to help them navigate this crisis. As we continue to search for Ronnie and answers, we cannot forget about the impact this is having on his young children. We ask everyone that is able, please donate and share! Every contribution, no matter how small, helps us bring comfort and stability to these amazing kids during an unimaginable hard time. GoFundMe You can visit the GoFundMe page here.
