Stand with Ryan Mapes: Critical Care Needed

Donation protected
My name is Michael Holley and I want to help my lifelong best friend Ryan Mapes and his family in this time of need.

Ryan went into the hospital Wednesday, May 14th, 2025, in the evening when he started to become really sick. The next day, Thursday, May 15th, 2025, the Emergency Department found that Ryan had lost half of his blood, so he was given a blood transfusion. I went to visit him that evening, and he seemed to be able to have a decent conversation with me. Not knowing the next morning, Friday, May 16th, 2025, would become a complete disaster as Ryan took a turn for the worse. Ryan's parents went to see him, and he wasn't responsive. The doctors then took him for a CAT scan to find that he had bleeding in his brain. He was then rushed into emergency surgery to relieve the pressure in his brain by removing the right side of his skull. The doctors had found that he had a brain stroke.

Now, as we all hope and pray that he heals and recovers at a rapid pace, the hospital bills are going to add up, and he and his family could use all of our help. His road to recovery is going to be a long journey.
