Skylar and Elijah Ryan Fundraiser

Please help support the Ryan family as they grieve the loss of Luna Eloise, one of their precious twins and care for her sister, Sabrina Sunshine who is in the NICU (born 10 weeks early.) The Ryan family is in great need of financial support to help with medical bills, funeral and burial costs, and lodging.

When Skylar and Elijah were young children, they met at church. They were later married in 2015. From the very beginning they knew they wanted to have a large family. After 3 years of marriage Skylar became pregnant, and in 2019, she and Elijah praised God for the birth of their first born son, Leonidas. It was a high risk pregnancy, but "Leo" was born healthy and happy.
It took another three years for Skylar to get pregnant again, this time with twins. They received the good news on February 21, 2022. They became aware of complications with Luna in the second trimester. Over the next few months, Luna’s growth slowed tremendously. She began showing signs that she wasn’t receiving enough nutrients and was diagnosed with Intrauterine Growth Restriction. Elijah and Skylar were told Luna may not survive. They were given the news on July 5, 2022, that Luna Eloise had passed away. Although they are greatly grieved, they know that God has a higher purpose for their loss. They trusted God to carry them through the remainder of the pregnancy with the surviving twin, who was eventually affected by the loss of her twin sister, Luna. At 30 weeks, Sabrina Sunshine was born on July 30 2022, weighing 3 lbs 5oz. Currently, Sabrina is in the NICU and will be hospitalized for the next several weeks. Skylar and Elijah have accumulated medical bills and will continue to accrue more. There will also be funeral and burial costs for Luna. The Ryan family lives an hour away from the hospital and will need to stay in a nearby hotel to be close to Sabrina until she's ready to come home. Elijah has already exhausted his vacation time at work, and is facing many days off without income as he cares for his family. As well as financial support the family greatly appreciates prayers offered on their behalf.
