Support for the Ryan family

Donation protected
The Ryan Family was your typical all American family. Andy and Paige had a beautiful connection and their 18 year love story brought about the lives of their 4 beautiful children Ava (14), Noah (11), Cora (8),and Mckenna (3).

The turn of their loving, peaceful life began after Andy sufferedfrom a horrific accident. Random events lead the family to a gas station where a couple was having a physical altercation. Andy, a rescuer by nature, tried to intervene. Unfortunately, he got caught in the car door as the driver took off, slamming Andy’s entire body into a tree at 40 MPH. This left Andy with a skull fracture, a spinal burst fracture, fractured fibula and tibia in both legs, along with road rash that span his entire body. Thankfully Andy survived this event and spent the next year healing andtrying to get back to his normal self.

A few months after Andy’s accident, Paige was part of a large layoff at Verizon resulting in her loss of income. After the layoff Paige took over the role of home schooling their children while Andy was busy healing and working the family business.

Just as it seemed life was getting back to normal, a year and a week past the accident, Andy suffered a huge mental break of paranoid schizophrenia. The family was unaware of his mental condition during his first terrifying mental episode. Since his first break, Andy’s metal health has not been able to be stabilized. As a result, Andy is currently being held in a court ordered mental facility under both government and medial care. He is still in the mental suffering of his schizophrenic break and is refusing medical intervention.

This awful process has left Paige a single mother to 4 children. It is my ask to you, that during this holiday season, we come together and show Paige that she is not alone. My goal is to help provide Christmas for her children in order to bring some much needed joy in their little world. Along with gifts, Paige has property taxes due in February and home owner’s insurance due in May, all totaling $5,000.  

As any family that has dealt with this terrible illness knows, it takes an army of support to get a mentally ill person the help that they need. My hope is that we can all be a little part of the Ryan family’s army in providing them love and resources.

This story is a HUGE reminder that none of us are immune to mental illness.

Please help support this family. If you cannot give financially, please share this campaign with your friends and family, and send love and light to them often through prayer and positive thoughts.
