Support family and Baby Ryker

**Update**

With deep sadness and heavy hearts we’re sad to announce that “baby bear” Barret entered heavens pearly gates on the evening of January 4, 2025. Although his time here was short, his memory will live on forever with everlasting love. Please continue prayers and support for the entire family. Most importantly pray and support his dear brother Ryker as they navigate this difficult road ahead.

I am starting this GoFundMe on behalf of my dear friends, Kyle and Bridget, who recently welcomed their twin boys, Ryker and Barret, at just 25 weeks gestation. Both boys were born weighing only 1 lb 7 oz each and are currently in critical condition at Valley Children’s Hospital in Madera.

While they have made some progress, Ryker and Barret are facing significant challenges, including stage 4 brain bleeds. They are receiving intensive, round-the-clock care as they fight to grow stronger and work toward the day they can finally come home.

Kyle and Bridget are traveling over an hour each way to be by their boys’ sides while also caring for their other children at home. With these unforeseen circumstances, both parents have had to take time away from work to focus on their family during this incredibly difficult time.

This will be a long journey for the family—emotionally, physically, and financially. I’m asking for your help to ease the burden on this wonderful family so they can focus on what matters most: their boys’ health and well-being.

No amount is too small to make a difference, and every contribution is deeply appreciated. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this campaign and keeping Ryker, Barret, and their family in your prayers.

Let’s come together to support Kyle, Bridget, Ryker, and Barret as they navigate this challenging time. Your generosity and kindness mean the world to them.

Thank you for your support.
