We created this page to help support the Schwab family as they work through a tough hand they’ve been dealt. As some of you may know, Ryan was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma back in December and fought victoriously through 6 months of chemotherapy.
What should have been a time of celebration took a different turn, and Ryan relapsed in July. He will be undergoing in-patient chemo treatments and a stem cell transplant over the next 4 months. He will not be able to work, and Melissa will likely find herself taking a lot of time off as well, taking Ryan to and from appointments and taking care of their two boys.
It goes without saying that this will put a large financial strain on them, one they shouldn’t have to worry about and endure during this time. We’re reaching out to all of you in hopes that we might be able to come together and lighten that financial burden, and let them focus on the only things that matter right now – getting Ryan better, and taking care of their family.
This is a family of very special people, and while there aren’t enough words to be said for the kindness, thoughtfulness and selflessness that they live out every day, we do have a chance to rally around them and give them back some of the goodness that they give so freely to other people.
We know that these are uncertain times for everyone, so whatever it is you're able to give - be it a well wish, a prayer, or a dollar or two, know that everything is received with very thankful hearts.
With love and gratitude on behalf of the Schwab family,
The family and friends of Ryan, Melissa, Jackson and Jacob
