Ryan’s Recovery Fund

Ryan needs your help. 

My brother in law, Ryan, was in a major roll-over car accident late Sunday night and is currently in the Trauma Center ICU. He had to have emergency abdominal surgery very early Monday morning to repair some internal injuries. Then on Tuesday he have a Spinal fusion  with rod as he fractured his lumbar spine. He also has 5 broken ribs, a small brain bleed that they are watching, his eyes are swollen and bruised which an ophthalmologist is monitoring closely.

Ryan works in the service industry, so he has no insurance. An application is being submitted at the hospital to hopefully help with the hospital bill, but that will not include the surgeries, the surgeons, the specialists, physical therapy etc. Just the hospital bill. They are also talking about sending Ryan to a rehabilitation facility to help with the recovery from his injuries. 

In addition, he will immediately need medical supplies and medications after discharge. He will be out of work for a minimum of 8 to 12 weeks. He will have no income during that time and bills will be coming due very soon. He has rent, utilities, his vehicle payment until the insurance settles his claim, he has a couple credit cards, and groceries, etc. 

We are doing this GOFUNDME to cover his $3800 monthly bills and to cover medical supplies that will be needed immediately upon discharge (those will be necessary for 3-6 months, possibly longer, until the internal reversal surgery can be done). 

Once we know what the hospital will cover, we will be trying to also raise additional funds to help with the remaining medical bills, which we fear will be extremely high.

Ryan boss told his mom that he has his job waiting when he is released to return  to work. But right now this young man, who is loved by so many who know him and would do anything for anyone because he has a big heart, REALLY NEEDS OUR HELP. 

Would you please consider giving whatever you are able and share this with others, too.
 
I believe by all the Prayer Warriors, friends, family, co-workers and so many who know him will want to give and that we can make this happen!

He has a long, hard road ahead of him...let's see if we can lessen the pain he's in and show him our love and support in this time of tremendous need. 

Thank you all so much in advance.
