I am starting this go fund me on the behalf of my bestfriends Ashley her husband Ryan and their boys Dean and Johnny.

Our sweet almost 3 year old Dean is a joyful, silly, curious boy who loves dinosaurs, story time and paw patrol. On Thanksgiving day, our world was turned upside down when Dean was rushed to the ER, diagnosed with a brain bleed and was flown to Comers Children’s Hospital in Chicago. A life threatening condition requiring immediate medical intervention.

Dean condition has required several procedures, Angiograms, MRI’s and CT scans. Next week Dean will undergo his 1st brain surgery, to relieve the blood bleed as well as remove the AVM.

Ashley and Ryan have been told Dean was born with this undetected condition. Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM)

While we are hopeful, and remain positive, between on going therapy to support recovery, and the unknowing long journey ahead. The mounting medical bills, days off work, have placed a significant strain on the family.

We are asking for your support to help cover Deans medical bills, specialized therapies, and necessary equipment for his recovery. Every donation big or small, will make tangible difference in getting Dean the best chance at full recovery.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping Dean and our family during this incredibly difficult time.

If your unable to donate, please consider sharing this go fun me to spread the word. Also prayers please, as they are so powerful. Together we can give Dean and his family the care and support he needs to heal and thrive.
