Family 2.0, outwork, outlove☘️

Let’s rally as a family around the Birk’s during this difficult time.

Ryan Birk suffered a Hemorrhagic Stroke on Saturday night, 4/5/2025. He is currently in the Neuro ICU at St. Vincent. He is awake and stable and trying to crack jokes. He unfortunately has suffered some speech deficits along with motor deficits primarily on his right side. He is however already regaining some movement which is very encouraging. We don’t have a time frame right now as he is still being evaluated, but he will most likely be in the ICU for several days and then moved into an acute inpatient rehab facility to continue work on regaining his movement and work on his speech.

Ryan’s recovery will be about a year. We would love to help them with medical bills, time off work (not just for him but for Natarsha so she can be there for him) and day to day expenses. Their son Ryder is a Junior at Westfield and a member of the football team, his parents have been hardworking members of the Westfield

Community for years. You may have seen them working hard at the mill, urban vines, urban farmer or field! If you know them, you can’t help but love them! I know our huge Westfield Family can reach this goal for them! Thank you for all your love, support and most importantly prayers
