“Prom Night Tragedy in Hudson, FL – Help Ryan Recover After"

Hi, my name is Nathan Richard, and I’m raising funds for my best friend’s daughter, Ryan Brown.

Late Friday night/early Saturday morning on April 12th, Ryan had just left prom in Hudson, Florida, when a drunk driver, speeding at 120 mph, rear-ended her vehicle. The impact caused the car to flip 3–4 times.

By the grace of God, Ryan survived — but she suffered a broken neck and faces an uncertain, difficult recovery. A cross that had been around her boyfriend’s neck was found hanging in a tree at the crash site — a chilling reminder that this could’ve ended much worse.

Ryan is a gifted athlete in softball and volleyball. Her father, Kory Gordon, is a dedicated pastor who ministers in prisons and serves his community with love and sacrifice. While the other driver walked free, Ryan's family is left to carry the weight — physically, emotionally, and financially.

We’re raising funds to help cover medical bills, physical therapy, and legal expenses. Every dollar helps. If you can’t donate, please share.

Thank you for your prayers, support, and generosity.
