Hi everybody! My name is Chanlar and we are here for a second time to raise money for our son, Ryker Gratto, for his intensive therapy journey. Ryker was born at 24 weeks gestation, and at 17 days old he survived a grade 3 Bilateral Intraventricular Hemorrhage (IVH). As a result of that brain bleed, Ryker was diagnosed with Spastic Quadriplegia cerebral palsy and Hypotonia.

Last year we did an incredible 2-week intensive therapy at ReImagineOT, and we learned and witnessed amazing strength from Ryker.

Now we are trying to continue this intensive therapy with another clinic. Currently, we are on the waitlist at CLIMB in Spring Hill, TN. These intensive sessions are personalized for his needs and are shown to improve overall physical or functional abilities and help overcome challenges he faces daily.

As amazing as these intensive therapies are, insurance does not cover them. These programs are 100% out of pocket and very costly. Any funds we raise go directly to Ryker’s therapy, room & board, and future intensives.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story, and please spread the word for our 5-year-old CP warrior!

Love,

Chanlar (Ryker’s mom and biggest advocate).
