Ryan's Battle for Christopher

To further understand the circumstances involved in this very difficult custody battle, we encourage everyone to read the following write-up from the Star-Telegram. Below are a few quick excerpts to understanding the severity of the situation:

“Between 2009 and 2016, medical records show Christopher was seen 323 times at hospitals and pediatric centers in Dallas and Houston and underwent 13 major surgeries, according to a Child Protective Services petition.” “It’s horrible for my son, or any kid because obviously, my son is not the only one that has had to go through this type of torture,” Crawford said. “The system has to be exposed — all the weaknesses that are in the system — because the kids don’t deserve that.” “The allegations against Bowen fit the model for what is known as Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a disorder in which a person exaggerates or creates medical symptoms to gain attention.”

We are on a mission to raise the funds Ryan needs to be reunited with his child and offset his growing legal fees. Any contributions are greatly appreciated and we hope to see Christopher back in Ryan’s arms very soon. Watch the video here.
