Help ease Ryan and Katie’s medical financial burden

Hello, everyone. With their permission, as they are way too humble of people to ask, but drastic times call for drastic measures, I am making this go fund me for my father and step mother, Ryan and Katie Hood… I am just organizing this fundraiser on their behalf. All donations will go directly to their account of their choice. As some of you may know both of them have been battling heart issues since December. Starting with my step mother having surgery in February, followed by dad having open heart surgery in March.

Katie was scheduled to return to work soon but due to these new complications with my father, Katie will have to be out longer to care for him. The expenses are piling up daily including travel to and from Boston for Katie, lodging, eating, and regular household bills.

My dad is in the hospital at Brigham and Woman’s in Boston and is scheduled to have multiple surgeries in the next several weeks. The complications from the open heart by pass have been very traumatic and serious. My father will have an extended road to recovery.

My dad has had to cancel at least 26 shows and is expected to cancel several more as he continues his recovery. Katie has been out of work since December 21st. All of these things combined have created an enormous amount of pressure and stress on their finances. My family has always helped others in times of need and now it is their time of need. If you could find it in your heart to donate any amount to help cover their expenses, we would be eternally grateful from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you.
