<div>All of the money contributed to this GoFundMe will be used to support Ryan and go directly to his father, Ryley John Brown (John).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ryan is a 7-year-old boy living with Xp21 deletion syndrome, an extremely rare genetic condition that leaves him unable to walk or talk and in need of 24/7 care to survive. His devoted father, John, is Ryan’s primary caregiver and provider. When no childcare provider was willing or equipped to support a child with Ryan’s complex needs, John made the difficult decision to leave his career to care for his son full-time. Together, they face overwhelming emotional and financial challenges while navigating a system that often overlooks families like theirs. Your support can help ease their burden and ensure Ryan receives the care and dignity he deserves.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every dollar you give goes directly toward improving Ryan’s quality of life. Some of the family’s most urgent needs include:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Uncovered Medical Expenses</strong> – Ryan requires constant, specialized medical care, much of which is not fully covered by insurance. Your support helps provide the treatments and equipment that keep him healthy and safe.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>A Wheelchair-Accessible Van</strong> – As Ryan grows, safely transporting him has become increasingly difficult. A modified van would allow John to take Ryan to doctor appointments, therapy sessions, and out into the world more easily.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Legal Fees</strong> –  John spends hundreds of dollars each month on a disability advocate to help Ryan navigate the system and access the services he deserves.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>A Vacation </strong>- With John often working 18 hour days and Ryan needing constant care, they’ve had little opportunity to simply enjoy time together. Their dream is to one day take a long, peaceful vacation as father and son. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for supporting Ryan and John, and for helping make their time together a little more joyful and a little less burdened.
