Colin Ryan — Back on Stage, Still Need Help Covering Medical Bills & Lost Income

⸻

Hi, I’m Colin Ryan.

I’m a full-time musician based in Elgin, Illinois, and I play with Covington Groove and InFunktious.

Eight weeks ago, I was injured and couldn’t perform for well over a month. Summer is my busy season and where I make the majority of my income. That meant:

• $8,000 in lost gigs/income

• $10,000 in medical bills & rehab

The good news: I’ve started gigging again . Being back on stage feels amazing. But those missed weeks left a real financial gap, and the medical bills are still here.

I’m raising $19,000 to cover:

• Medical expenses & rehab

• The remaining shortfall from lost income

• A small emergency buffer as I get fully back to it

⸻

How You Can Help

• Donate — even $10 helps cover a co-pay or medication

• Share — spread this link on FB, IG, and with music fans who know our bands

• Encourage — every word of support matters as I recover

I’ll be posting regular updates, and progress reports so you can see exactly how my progress is going.

Thank you so much for helping me get back to full strength and back to sharing music with our community.
