Help Coach Ryan with Surgery Funds
Hello everyone, As you know, I am a father of 4, a youth sports coach and love to give back to my community and friends any way I can. Yesterday, I had an unfortunate accident while helping a close friend of mine. I was moving his furniture, and while doing so a table tipped over. As a natural reflex, I reached my arm out to stop the table and unfortunately that caused my bicep muscle to tear simultaneously. After a trip to the ER, and an orthopedic surgeon, I've been diagnosed with a Bicep Tendon Avulsion. Meaning that my bicep muscle detached from the bone. The surgeon has required me to have surgery to reattach my muscle to the bone this week. I hardly ever ask anything of anyone, but because of this injury, I am out of work for the next 6-8 weeks per doctor's orders, and even then I will have to ease into using my arm again. The majority of the surgery will be covered, but a down payment of $4000.00 is required up front that will not be covered. My wife and I were not prepared for this, and therefore, we are asking our friends, family, and community to help us with this hefty bill. Any donations help, even if we do not raise the full amount. We will be temporarily living off of one income for our family of 6. Thank you everyone for your time and support.
