Help Skip Stubblefield Be There for His Son, Ryan

Imagine the heartbreak of losing your only daughter to a rare and mysterious disease. The medical community does not have answers. As the weeks turn into months, and into years, the family is always hopeful for a cure but there is none to be had for Molly. This precious girl left us at just 10 years old.

Imagine 12 years later, your son Ryan is diagnosed with the same type of illness. What devastating news for any family to receive. But this family is strong. They are fighters and they are hopeful as new advances in the medical field have been made. Now, so many years later, there may be answers for Ryan that weren’t there for Molly.

Due to the rarity of RAG-1 Deficiency, Ryan has had to travel to medical specialists around the country and has already endured much medical testing. He is currently receiving treatment to fight off diseases and keep him healthy until a bone marrow donor can be found.

Skip Stubblefield is the father of these two incredible children. He is a beloved band director and mentor to hundreds of students in our local school system for the last 30 years. Countless numbers of band parents consider Skip not only a friend, but family. Skip can always be depended upon to be there for others when needed. Now, it’s our turn to be there for him.

This page is set up to help Skip and his wife travel and be with Ryan during medical treatment including the much-awaited bone marrow transplant. Donations will also directly help with Ryan’s current expenses. No donation is too small and every donation is greatly appreciated.
