Backing Rylyn: From Viral Star to Lyme Warrior
Donation protected
Rylyn was just 4 years old when he went viral for singing an incredibly cute version of Bob Marley's 3 Little Birds. The song touched many hearts during the Pandemic - a time when hope and comfort was desperately needed.
The song is making the rounds again at another time of great political uncertainty, and serves as a gentle reminder that everything is going to be alright no matter what happens in the world. That being said, he hasn't made a cent from his video.
Rylyn is now 8 years old and has been diagnosed with Lyme Disease, and has been fighting this terrible illness for the better part of 2 years. My hope is that despite the difficulty he is going through now, this song will remind him that everything will work out, and that every person he touched with his song back in 2020 is backing him today.
He will be in hospital for the foreseeable future, but through the distribution of royalties for his song and the funds made through this GoFundMe campaign, my hope is that we will be able to provide him some support in this difficult time.
