Ryan & Kellie's Pursuit of Health & Happiness

Donation protected
Hey everyone, I hate asking for help. I always try to pretend I'm strong enough to survive anything life throws my way. Unfortunately things have reached their inevitable breaking point. Yesterday I was informed we are losing our longtime apartment due to no fault of ours (landlord personal issues). Kellie and I have fought through 3 of my open heart surgeries, flew to CA for a new non-invasive procedure to help my heart last longer which failed shortly after. A completely unexpected diagnosis of stage 4 cancer after an emergency colon resection to remove a mass was next on the list, followed by a terrible brain bleed due to me unknowingly hitting my head while being on blood thinners that led to my brain swelling and many seizures along with a stroke during emergency surgery to remove a large section of my skull in an attempt to save any quality of life left for me. Kellie is dealing with being the lone income provider for both of us, 2 loving playful pups and 3 kitties while also having major pain issues from a much needed hip replacement. I can't work. I needed physical rehab just to walk unassisted again. Now I'm wearing a helmet 24/7 until March 24th when a prosthetic skull will be reattached to protect my brain again. Kellies hip replacement is pending. This all has been a battle since 2013 that has now come to a boiling point.

Any help will be used to relieve immediate monetary pressure, medical bills and acquiring a new living space for the 7 of us. We will never stop fighting but need some help to lift a bit of the burden at the moment.
