Help the Derry-Riehle Family in Sean's Fight

Donation protected
Family and Friends - we are joining together to circle around the Derry-Riehle Family to make things a bit easier as Sean fights for life itself.

Having been diagnosed with Lupus nephritis, Sean has quietly dealt with, at times, debilitating symptoms, but things took a turn on July 6th when he was rushed to the emergency room and has not yet been able to return home. After several surgeries and two major bleeding issues that landed him in the ICU and on a ventilator, Sean has fought back as hard as he has been able to, but the setbacks keep coming. New test results show he is now facing a cancer diagnosis; the treatment for which can't even be started until other complications clear up.

First and foremost, we ask for your prayers. We all believe they are helping and thank you in advance for every single one.

As this situation approaches the six-month mark, it's simply time to ask for more help as mounting expenses are getting overwhelming. 100% of donations will go directly to the family; on behalf of Sean, Melanie, Leila, Jakwon & Daekwon, thank you for your love and support.
