Support for The Daly Family

Hey y’all, after many tears and hesitations I have finally decided I need to ask for help. I am and have been the sole caretaker (monetarily, physically, and mentally) for my momma for the past 8 years. <br /><br /> To catch you up to speed, last August, after her emergency abdominal surgery - doctors found she has two new aneurysms at the top and bottom of her aorta, and a tear spanning her entire aorta. Who knew aortas were that long ?? 

<br /><br />The vascular surgery she needs is so highly specialized- there’s no doctor in Louisiana qualified to do it.  This means I need to take her to Houston, TX for treatment.

We just got back from Texas this week after meeting her 2nd surgeon - she will need either one massive surgery or two difficult surgeries. They said to expect a 2 week hospital stay for the first surgery alone.<br /><br /> While in Texas my mom was diagnosed by a geneticist with Loeys-Dietz Syndrome. LDS is a very rare genetic disorder that affects connective tissue. Connective tissue protects, supports and gives structure to all tissues and organs in the body. Symptoms of LDS include: Clubbed feet, pigeon chest, curved spine, recurring hernias, aorta and heart problems, etc. (pretty much everything she’s ever dealt with in her life). But this is also why she has velvety soft skin!
<br /><br /> If they decide against the one massive surgery - they want to do open surgery (go through the side of her ribs) on the upper part of her aorta in roughly 4 to 6 weeks. Then they would like her to return one month after her first surgery so they can operate on her lower aortic aneurysm (where she’s also at risk of losing one of her kidneys).<br /><br /> Of course, I’ll be staying at the hospital during my mom’s recovery - not only to care for her, but to be her advocate. 

I need to come up with money for: time off work; the flight there; one night in a hotel; lyft rides to and from the airport, hotel, and hospital; food; a rental car and gas for the drive home because she will not be able to fly; and whatever other incidentals come up.<font color="#333333"><br /><br /></font> It’s a lot, but it’s my momma. She is the reason that I live such a beautiful life. If my momma has impacted your life in any positive way like I know she has mine, please consider sending whatever you can. ❤️
<font color="#333333"><br /><br /></font> I also would like to mention that I never want to spell aneurysm again.<br /><font color="#333333"><br /></font><font color="#333333"><br /></font>

Help a girly pop save her very sick momma.

<div>With the heaviest of hearts we are putting this fundraiser together to help with the funeral/burial costs for the family of Ryan Worden. There is noway anyone can be financially prepared for such a tragic and sudden loss as this has been!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ryan Worden impacted so many of our
</div>
<div>lives with his loyal friendship, contagious smile, constant story's and always making time for not only his friends but his family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ryan Worden leaves behind two sons. Kyler who is 17 years old and Brayden 9 years old. The financial burdens we all feel today just got way worse for the families of Kyler and Brayden that have permanently lost not only their Father, but their co-provider! Nothing will bring back their Dad, but anything we can do to help financially will definitely help the families!!!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am so sure that with the thousands of people that Ryan Worden impacted that we can come together and relieve as much financial burden as possible for Ryan's family and his boys.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The donations will go directly too his family so they can give Ryan the funeral/memorial that he deserves. We set the goal very high because Ryan Worden leaves behind his two boys and anything we can do over the funeral expenses will be available to his boys to help provide them with anything they may need.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Anyone who knows Ryan knows that he has impacted more lives than any of us could even begin to count. So imagine the expenses the family will have to come up with in order for all of us to be able to be together to give Ryan the goodbye that he deserves!!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We understand that not everyone is capable of donating and thats completely understandable, but know that anything means alot at a time like this. So if anyone has anything that they can offer other than financial offering please let us know!!! If anyone might have a large property that the family might be able to use for a memorial, or catering that could be donated or anything that can help in this tragic time!!!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ryan Worden you have earned much deserved Wings and we will never forget you!!! Until we meet again my friend!!!

He is also struggling to care for his two children during this trying time.  Please keep Jr. and his family in your thoughts.
