As some of you may already be aware, our colleague Ryan’s little baby Brooke was born with a serious health condition.

At such a young age, she has already been through many surgical procedures with many more ahead and unfortunately has been in the hospital since over a month, unable to keep any food down on a steady base even if intubated ...

Here are the details of Brooke’s medical condition:

Brooke Quynh Kelly was born February 12th 2025 with severe heart condition called Tetrology of Fallot with Mapcas, PA, VSD she was born without the artery that pumps the blood to her lungs. As well she has 22-Q which is missing chromosome that can result with immune deficiencies which she has and delayed learning difficulties.

She had partial successful open heart surgery September 10th to move the Mapcas to a created artery with a shunt put in. But they weren't able to close the hole in her heart (VSD) until a future surgery in the new year. Sometime during or just after her surgery she got severe brain damage to the core of her brain (The basal ganglia) which is involved with motor skills.

Having to face this life challenge in the present situation and be at the hospital with Brooke for an extended period, it has become nearly impossible for Ryan and his partner Lisa to carry on in a normal life and continue working for now…

all donations will go directly toward helping Ryan and Lisa with essential living expenses while they focus entirely on caring for Brooke and be by her side.

Hope with the strength of our amazing community we can show some support and help Ryan and his family navigate through this difficult period.
