On January 7th, Ryan Parinas experienced severe blurry vision while working and went to the ER. To everyone’s shock and devastation, a tumor was discovered. The doctors believe it is a meningioma, which is a noncancerous tumor, but Ryan will still need to undergo brain surgery to have it removed and tested. Ryan had to immediately stop working, as he is unable to drive and has medial restrictions until his surgery. He faces a long recovery but is optimistic for a healthy outcome.

As you can imagine, this is a difficult and stressful time for Ryan. He is facing not only the emotional toll of the diagnosis, but also the financial burden that comes with unexpected medical bills. That's where we can help!

This GoFundMe page will help Ryan with the costs associated with his surgery and will ensure can recover comfortably knowing his living expenses will be covered while he is healing. Any donation, big or small, would be greatly appreciated.

Everyone knows Ryan as the life of the party and the source of the deepest belly laughs. He strives to make everyone feel included and loves deeply and without judgement. As a nurse, his life has been dedicate to caring for others and now it's time he lets his community care for him.
