Hello everyone, our names are Tara and Stephanie. We are reaching out to ask for help on behalf of our dear, sweet friends, the Bair family, and their amazing husband and father, Ryan.

On June 9th, their worlds were turned upside down when Ryan was diagnosed with a brain tumor. What started as an unexpected event led Ryan to a CT scan, then a brain MRI, and quickly turned into news no family ever wants to hear. On June 10th, Ryan underwent an 8-hour brain surgery to remove the tumor. Only part of the tumor was able to be removed, as it was attached to his brain stem.

While they are awaiting final surgical pathology to see what treatment will be recommended, which may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and/or immunotherapy, they are now facing a medical journey filled with unexpected expenses. As you can imagine, the emotional and financial toll can be overwhelming. Between medical bills, time off work, and day-to-day costs, they are doing everything they can.

We’ve created this GoFundMe to help support Ryan’s care and recovery. Every donation, no matter the size, brings them one step closer to giving Ryan the best chance at recovery. If you are unable to donate, sharing this page, or simply keeping Ryan and his family in your thoughts and prayers would mean the world to Ryan, his family, and friends.
