Please Help Ryan After Life Altering Event
Donation protected
On September 18th, 2022 we got the dreaded call that our brother was on life support. Ryan was in critical condition after suffering a stroke (affecting left side), septic shock, acute hypoxic respiratory failure, bilateral pulmonary embolism, left ventricular thrombus and blood clots in his right leg which then traveled to his heart and brain. If this wasn’t enough Ryan also had a heart attack and has residual symptoms from the stroke such as vision loss which we are unsure if he will ever get back. To say Ryan's journey hasn’t been easy is an understatement. Due to the clots in Ryan’s heart he is still considered to be in significant heart failure and may have to have an additional procedure down the line to treat this. Unfortunately, while in the hospital the clot in his right leg restricted blood flow and he had to have it amputated in order to save his life. After spending over 70 days in the hospital Ryan is finally back home trying to navigate his new normal after this life-altering event. Please help support Ryan while he is out of work due to illness and learning his new routines as he is unable to drive, walk or participate in daily tasks many of us take for granted. Ryan’s road won’t be easy and there will be struggles but he is a fighter. If you donate all proceeds will go towards Ryan’s medical expenses, rehab, groceries, bills and any other general living expenses to help keep him afloat while he relearns his new normal. Our family appreciates any support you are able to provide to Ryan during this difficult time. Ryan moved to Montana to better his life and fulfill a dream. I know he does not want to lose what he worked so hard for. Hopefully, we can help him get back on track to accomplish his dream. Thank you so much! Ryan never asks for help that is why we feel the need to do this for him. He does not have a Facebook account. It means the world to our family and we are so thankful Ryan is alive and on a road to recovery.
