***New update at bottom....8/18/24 
 
Let me introduce you to a wonderful husband and a dedicated father. Ryan Gullett was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor. It is an aggressive type of cancer. He recently had a craniotomy to remove as much of the tissue as possible, however, parts of the tumor had to be left due to their location. The pieces of tumor left are attached to healthy brain function tissue so they had to stay. 
 
He will be starting a treatment plan that includes chemotherapy and radiation treatment. He will be out of work for the immediate future. The prognosis is not bright, but we believe in miracles and positive vibes. 
 
Ryan has been the primary income source for our family. Without him working like he previously was, we are facing a financial hardship with paying the monthly bills and also the medical bills that will be coming due to surgery and cancer treatment. 
 
That is all the technical stuff, so let me tell you about Ryan and our family. Ryan and I have been together for almost 23 years. We have faced many issues and every time we have found a solution. He is my person. He is the father of our daughter and the stepfather to two sons. Ryan is also a grandpa to two wonderful boys! He has been that quiet stoic person who is constantly there and ready and willing to do whatever is needed for anyone. Ryan is also a veteran of the US navy. 
 
Ryan is a workaholic, not just because he pays the bills, but because he truly loves his job. I mean he loves his job. He is a supervisor and is the first person to volunteer to go in when there is a shortage of workers or extra jobs to do or even to cover working at a mill in another state. He helps train new employees and will help others with fixing machinery. 
 
With this diagnosis, it will be difficult for him to work at the level and capacity that he previously was able to accomplish. 
 
We recently bought our home that we waited 20 years to purchase. We were just starting to see a future that was going to be the life we always were trying to achieve. We were planning on celebrating our 25 years together with a cruise or vacation. Then on July 30th, he had a seizure and it was discovered that he had a brain tumor. Not just a brain tumor, but one that is aggressive enough that his life timeline is being cut short. How short we do not know but I am hopeful that it is many more years. 
 
Ryan adores animals and is the animal whisperer in our family! He can be around any animal and they instantly love him and roll around in front of him. We established a love of Saint Bernards. We have had the luck to have had 4 in our lives. Our current Saint is Betty. She adores Ryan and attempts to jump on him to hug him every time she sees him. Our other pet is Teddy. He and Ryan are a constant. He sleeps with Ryan, eats with Ryan, watches TV with Ryan and guards Ryan from Betty. 
 
I never imagined in any version of my life that Ryan got ill or was not able to be my rock. I am his rock now and am pushing him to fight. Fight like literally his life depends on it. I do not want him to have to constantly worry about bills or payments while he is going through this challenge. I am asking for any assistance to help him ease his mind and body so he does not have to spend his last remaining months/ years worrying about us. 
 
I am not sure if I have truly said how much Ryan means to everyone he meets. He truly is a wonderful person. My person who I will do anything for. Please help us with this newest burden we are facing. Thank you for your kindness and generosity during this difficult time. 
 
Jenny and Family
