Ryan Maestas' TBI Recovery

If you are reading this, you probably know our cherished friends Ryan and Alicia Maestas. On March 5th Ryan suffered a severe traumatic brain injury from a horrible fall. Three doctors told Alicia he likely wasn’t going to make it through the night, but Ryan has shocked them all, is fighting like hell, and continues defying the odds.

While we remain deeply hopeful for his recovery there is an unclear and undeniably long road ahead for Ryan, Alicia, and Maxon as they navigate these unknown and murky waters surrounding the brain injury Ryan suffered. Alicia remains one of the most remarkable, strong women to walk this earth, but this is a battle no one should have to face. This GoFundMe is a way for us all to band together in support for Ryan, Alicia, and Maxon through this next chapter of unknowns. #ryanstbirecovery

If you’re thinking of Ryan wishing you could hang out, hear his laugh, crack a beer, watch some hockey, or travel the world together - send them love. The power of individuals joining together to send healing thoughts, prayers, wishes, and acts of support have a synergistic effect. Any and every contribution helps.

As you can imagine it's been an incredibly taxing and emotional time for Ryan, Alicia, and everyone who holds them dear. In an effort to respect her space, minimize the stress, and allow her to focus solely on staying present with Ryan and Maxon during these critical times, we are creating this GoFundMe for them. This fund is intended to help her offset any expenses for Ryan’s medical care, consultations with specialists, in-home care, therapies, and anything else that arises over the course of their healing journey. We hope that whatever is given will help relieve any financial stress for Alicia as she focuses her energy on taking care of her boys.

As your questions and messages of love and support come up, we ask for those to be posted here, so she can access them as she is ready. Updates on Ryan’s condition will also be posted on here or on the Caring Bridge site, as to minimize the stress of responding to everyone individually. The love and outpouring of support from all of those who hold Ryan and Alicia dear is remarkable and let’s keep it up throughout this journey.
