Better accessibility for Ryan Lafleur
Donation protected
Ryan was diagnosed with Anaplastic Astrocytoma in March of 2015, in his case an incurable, inoperable form of brain cancer. He has two very large tumours, that are almost identical in each side of his brain. Unfortunately Ryan had a serious reaction to the steroids used to prevent/decrease swelling in his brain due to surgery and chemotherapy and radiation treatments. He was diagnosed with steroid induced neuropathy in July of 2015 and has been mostly bedridden since then. He has lost the ability to use his right hand, sit stand or walk and has very little ability to talk. In spite of all he has been through Ryan remains a very happy, amazing and inspiring man. He has never complained about his situation, and makes the most of every day.
We moved to a newer more appropriate home in August, that has a bedroom and bathroom on the main floor. Unfortunately we do not have a safe way to get him in and out of the house. Currently we are using two portable ramps that are narrow and require two people to help when he wants to go anywhere. We have been quoted at $7200 for a wheelchair lift for the front porch, which is the safest and most appropriate solution. Due to financial limits, we need help to accomplish this goal. Any help will go far to improve the quality of Ryan's life! Thank you from Ryan's family!
