Baby Ryker

Baby Ryker was diagnosed with Trisomy-18 in the first trimester. It's an extremely rare and fatal condition that affects less than 20,000 per year.

 

He has inherited his parents' rough and tough mentality of never giving up and always fighting. He's already beaten the odds by overcoming the hurdle of being born. Each passing day is filled with hurdles he has to fight.

 

Ryker has such an amazing big sister who has taken her role very seriously since first learning she would have a baby brother. Kelsey just celebrated her 10th birthday and longs to spend more time with her brother.

 

His father, Wayne, is a fireman captain who saves lives and selflessly serves his community. Wayne is an Air Force veteran and is dedicated to his job and his family.

 

Ryker's mom, Amanda, is a strong woman who handles the day to day affairs of human resources and benefits while maintaining a positive attitude about all life has to offer. During pregnancy and her full time job, she received a psychology degree and never settles for anything in life.

 

During his time with us, Ryker should have the best experiences with friends and family. Amanda and Wayne have enough to worry and stress over without adding the costly medical expenses to the list.

 

Today, I ask for help with the day to day finances and medical expenses that this family is accruing during this difficult time so they can focus on what really matters, Baby Ryker.
