Help Ryan while he fights cancer again
Donation protected
Hello. We are Ryan and Kristy. You may already know us if you live in Easton, PA. Ryan has been bartending at Porter's Pub for over 20 years and we been together for over 11 years now. In the last year we also began creating content and streaming on social media, i.e., Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Twitch via our channels Wonderland Karaoke, The West Ward Wanderers, and Damuson Gaming.
While the last five years have been a time of growth for us, we were coming out of dark times and had thought they were finally past us. In 2017, Ryan was diagnosed with Stage 3c colorectal cancer at age 40, just weeks before we were to be married. 2 years later, after chemo, radiation, and multiple surgeries he was in remission. Then just as we took a breath, we found out it had metastasized to his liver. He had to start all over with more surgery and chemo. After a year he was back in remission again. This time he has been in remission five years, and now he has cancerous lymph nodes next to his spine.
Unfortunately, this time has found us in a situation where we have both been struggling financially, it seems every time we start to recover from it another cancer pops up and we must pivot to get by, this time we are trying something a little different. With our social media channels we see an opportunity for us to still earn income while we take this time to focus on his health, but we need your help! There are many ways people can help, and it doesn't even have to be monetary. Please share and encourage people to follow all of our channels and subscribe to our YouTube and Twitch. We will be documenting this journey to hopefully help anyone else going through this as well. We know how scary cancer is; we hoped we wouldn't be standing at its door again, but here we are. We hope at least this time we can also help others who are just going through the process by sharing our experience through our content.
