<div><strong><em>My cousin Bryan never thought a pain in his foot would lead to losing his leg.</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For months, he searched for answers. At first, doctors thought it was gout. But medication didn't work and his foot continued to get worse. <em>The pain became unbearable.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In April 2025, Bryan was admitted to WVU Medicine where medical staff found blood clots in the lower half of his right leg. No one knows what caused them, and sadly, after many procedures and trials, nothing could be done to fix it. <em>The only choice was to amputate his right leg above the knee.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, Bryan is facing a whole new life. He hasn't been able to work full-time for months and <strong><em>bills are piling up.</em></strong> His home needed modifications to help him get around, and he still needs a wheelchair ramp up to the front porch. He's hopeful to have his prosthetic by mid-August, but doesn't know the full cost of that yet and once he has it he'll need lots of physical therapy to learn how to use it before he can get back to work. So, for now, <em>he needs support with daily living costs.</em>
</div>

<div><strong><em>Today, I am asking you to give what you can to help Bryan get "back on his foot." </em></strong>Recovery will take time, but with your help to regain some financial stability, Bryan can focus on healing instead of worrying about bills.
