Help Support Ryan, Emilee, and Baby Brynlee Elkins

I know that people have been asking a lot of questions about Ryan, Emilee, and Baby Brynlee so we thought it would be best to tell everyone what is going on and ask for help at the same time. On December 22, 2023, our unborn Baby Bee was diagnosed with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. Since then, we've been given a lot of information about this heart disease and what we must do moving forward to see that Baby Bee has the best chance at a happy, healthy life.

In mid to late February 2024, we will have to relocate to Cincinatti, Ohio so that around 34-36 weeks of Emilee's pregnancy she can be induced and give birth there for Baby Bee to be taken straight into open heart surgery. Brynlee will be in recovery for an additional 3+ weeks, whereas Emilee and I will be periodically out of work and will be traveling back and forth to Huntington to try to make ends meet.

A good friend of mine, JoAnna Vance has offered to make this GoFundMe to help cover our expenses while we are going through this process. We are grateful for her, and everyone else to whom has stepped up to support us during this difficult time in our lives. If you, or anyone you know can offer any help financially, we are in your debt from the bottom of our hearts, and we thank you.
