Support Atreyu fight his CKD and SBS

Hi, I’m Ryan Ursida-Tyderek, the proud and loving father of my dear son, Atreyu Ursida-Tyderek. My wife, Kylie Ursida-Tyderek, and I have been caring for and supporting our son, Atreyu, through many challenges in his life. After countless surgeries and procedures, and constant trips to and from the hospital, hotels, and many other insurance expenses that we’ve had to pay out of pocket, we are left with little support. But we carry on each day with love for our little guy.

Artie has had six surgeries to date, two of them being his G-Tube placement so that he can be fed, and the other being his TPN line (Central line) through his heart so that he is hydrated and healthy! Artie has CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) Stage 4, which will require a kidney transplant. I, his loving father, have just been laid off work at the worst of times, and with his transplant coming in the near future, on top of all our other bills and obligations, I am looking for support in any way possible, even if that’s in words of support, prayer, or experiences similar to Artie’s situation. My loving family, as well as his two siblings, Arwen (6 months) and Berlin, his big sister (2 years old), are all in this together.

Anything helps our little family get closer to making sure Artie has everything he needs to continue his journey!
