RYAH'S REVIVAL
Donation protected
On behalf of the Hope family...
We are so thankful for the support of the community so far. We are in Phase 2 of Ryah's recovery journey. Thanks to the help of the previous donations on the first Go Fund Me campaign, we were able to to get Ryah to Louisiana to see Dr. Harch, Arizona to see Dr. Profeuck and Oshner medical for the initial stages of seeing if the treatments would work and where he was at and would possibly be able to go regarding Physical and cognitive therapy.
Excitingly, Ryah is Recovering! The Lord is working, the treatments are working and the hard work of the Entire family, church, relatives and literally the lower mainland is paying off. The Physical Therapists, Doctors, Consultants are all shocked, stunned, surprised, amazed, and astonished with how Ryah's healing has such a momentum.
Unfortunately, he's only 40% recovered, which is amazing for accident of this magnitude, however, we as a family feel we need to keep up on the momentum he has been making. Ryah has gone from a completely vegetative/quadriplegic state with a diagnosis of little to no recovery...to sitting up by himself, smiling, laughing, slowly swallowing easy foods, grabbing things with his left hand and taking steps in his gait trainer in just 4 months.
BC/Canadian medical is extremely limited in what they can do for home care support/medical/expenses regarding brain injury. Ryah's bills from the USA are still there ($74,000 american/ $101,000 canadian, Several trips back that are still needed for stem cell and Dr. Crawford intense physical therapy ($50,000 canadian). His Home care team which has been assembled by the family out of pocket (3 nurses on rotation, nanny, dietician, physical therapists) at around $6,000 a month alone, Medical equipment, medicine etc... and Growing.
He still cannot talk like he was, walk by himself, eat by himself, play by himself, dress himself, crawl or call for help mom and dad. Ryah is supposed to start school in the following new year sept 2024/11 months. We are asking for your help to get him there. Dads goal is to see him be able to play, run and ride a bike again. Moms goal is to see him eat by himself and speak as he has lost a lot of weight and it is hard to maintain his calories. We truly believe that if we can continue the Physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, MNRI therapy, HBOT therapy, Stem cell Therapy etc... he will get there. You could help get a little boy back on his bike.
Full transparency: his costs can be seen on his website ryasrevival.com, this is a second go fund me campaign, if you have already given, this is not an ask to give again, however, if you would like to share it with friends and family it would be appreciated. There is an event on Nov. 4, 2023. You can find info on that at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/cheam-sports-presents-ryahs-revival-journey-to-recovery-community-event-tickets-725774369677
