Due to tragic illness Ryan Farinas needs your help

Donation protected
Ryan Farinas is fighting for his life! He has been out of work for a long time due to his illness and the doctors explained he may not be able to go to work for another year! Please donate any amount you are able so Ryan and his family can survive this tragic situation. The family is also asking for prayers. A lot of people never knew how bad Ryan’s condition has been because he is such a fighter ! Today on 1/21/21 he is having another emergent surgery, the outcome is not known at the time of this posting, just that there are home bills to be paid and medical costs that funds will go towards.  Ryan continues to be such a fighter through all of this, even through the severe physical and mental pain. Ryan never stops fighting for the return of a quality life with his family!
  Ryan’s health issues began in July of 2019 when his abdominal area became hugely distended and he  went into emergency surgery. It was found out that at age 33 Ryan had stage 3 Colon cancer. After this first surgery he had to have a colostomy(an opening to the skin of the abdominal area with a bag attached to collect stool) and be on chemotherapy for around 3 months. In June of 2020 Ryan was able to have the colostomy reversed (removed). Unfortunately the medical issues did not stop there as Ryan developed intestinal blockages frequently and has scar tissue and fistulas’ that are leaking into his abdominal area causing severe infection and shock. Ryan has been in and out of the hospital since October 2020 and has remained in Intensive care unit since the first week of Jan 2021. Ryan started his hospital stay at St. Lucie Medical center and as of Jan. 19, 2021 Ryan was transferred to Shands medical in Gainesville, FL where he was  admitted to the intensive care unit. Ryan is currently having surgery again Jan. 21, 2021. 
We thank you so much for your time, donations and prayers!
