Support for Emily Ryan's Family

Donation protected
Hi friends and family. We are raising funds for Emily Ryan's husband and two children after Emily passed away suddenly during this Thanksgiving season. On November 26, Emily was rushed to the hospital, breathing but unresponsive. She had catastrophic bleeding on her brain after her brain had shifted and was pushing down on her spinal cord. There was nothing the doctors could do to save her.

Since Emily was an organ donor, she remained on life support until November 28 so that she could donate organs to others in need. Her life-changing gift of a heart, liver, and two kidneys was an incredible Thanksgiving miracle to 4 people who received her organs.

Emily always had a generous heart, and it's just like her to make other people's lives better in spite of this. Now, her husband Tim and two kids, Caitlynn and Michael, would be so grateful for any financial help you can provide. The hospital bills, funeral, and ongoing bills will be a mountain, but with the support of family and friends, I'm hopeful we can make things a little easier for them during this time. All funds raised will go directly to Tim.

We would love if you can share a story or memory of Emily!
