Help Ryan Rea Recover After a Tragic Accident
Hi, my name is Traci, and I’m fundraising for Ryan Rea—the love of my life, my best friend, and one of the kindest, most selfless people you could ever meet.
On July 2nd, Ryan was involved in a devastating accident while riding his bike. He was found unconscious and severely injured. After a police investigation, it was confirmed that a vehicle was involved. Sadly, there were no witnesses at the scene.
Ryan suffered a brain bleed and serious injuries to his foot and ankle—requiring surgery, extensive hospitalization, and a long, painful road to recovery.
Ryan has always been the kind of person who puts others first. Whether it’s helping a neighbor, supporting a friend in need, or simply sharing a kind word with a stranger, he shows up with love and generosity every day. Now, he needs us to show up for him.
Why We’re Asking for Help
This accident has been not only physically and emotionally devastating, but it has also created a severe financial hardship. Ryan will be unable to work for an extended period, and the costs associated with his recovery are overwhelming.
Funds raised will go directly toward:
24-hour medical care and follow-up treatment
Hospital stays and rehabilitation
Physical therapy and mobility support
Medical equipment and home modifications
Lost income during recovery
Mental health and trauma counseling
We’re still processing the shock of what happened, but what we do know is this: Ryan is alive, and we are going to fight for his full recovery. Every donation—no matter the size—makes a meaningful difference.
If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this page to help us reach more people who care.
With deep gratitude,
Traci, Rea Family & Friends
