Help for The Carter Family #RileyStrong

Hi my name is Kelsey and I am one of Bonnie’s best friends. I started this GoFundMe because everyone was asking what they could do, besides pray, to help.

Bonnie and Rodney had to go through IVF within the last year, successfully bringing us all their amazing and handsome son, Riley Carer. Unfortunately, as of Thursday, October 26, when Riley was being tested for RSV and Covid (which he was positive for), a miracle nurse noticed something was off with Riley and his coloring. Riley was sent for more testing and after consulting with the doctors, Riley was admitted into CHOA.

Riley has, what no mother or father wants to hear, liver disease, or Biliary Atresia. Riley will have surgery next week to narrow down a few things. This will lead to a more extensive surgery which will have the put the Carter family in recovery at Egelston for 10-14 days.

From what Bonnie said: “This procedure could work or it could fail. If it fails, Riley will have to receive an immediate liver transplant… we are hoping the procedure holds until he is 2, this is best case scenario.”

Throughout everything going on with the Carters they remain confident in God and His greater plan for Riley. I have never seen a family more determined to have a testimony and change lives while simultaneously going through a nightmare.

Of course, with everything that is going on, the Carters will have a MILLION hospital bills. If you can, please donate to help them with the bills, or ordering food while they are living in and out of hospitals. I know Bonnie would never ask for money, so I am doing it for them. Thank you for everyone’s prayers and donations. It means more than you could know
