Northern Nevada showed what it means to help neighbors in need during the Wildfire Fund Drive, and KTVN 2 News Nevada anchor Ryan Canaday had a front-row view of the generosity. Ryan joins Sarah Johns during this special edition of 2 Plus You Nevada to share what he witnessed as community members arrived throughout the afternoon to support victims of the recent North Valleys wildfires.

From $20 donations to $500 checks, Ryan explains that no contribution is too small when a community comes together. He also shares an emotional encounter with a donor named Pauline, who approached the KTVN team with tears in her eyes, offered a heartfelt hug and explained that while she couldn't give a lot, she wanted to give something.

For Ryan, moments like these demonstrate why the little contributions can add up to something much bigger—and why he is proud to call Northern Nevada home.
