HELP OUR CAUSE AVM/STROKE RECOVERY
Your support and contributions will enable us to meet our goals and improve conditions. Your generous donation will fund our mission.
My name is Ronda Huffman, and I'm reaching out to share the story of my son, Ryan Foster. On April 20, 2023, Ryan's life took an unexpected turn when he was life-flighted from Montana to Utah due to a rare AVM rupture/stroke. This devastating event has left him bedridden and in need of complex medical care.
We spent 7 months in the hospital in Utah. Ryan experienced two infections after his surgery which led to 17 procedures, of which 3 were craniotomy surgeries (the removal of his skull). He also has had 3 shunt revisions. We have had to start over a couple of times with his therapy. But after his last shunt revision we weren’t able to get back into rehabilitation, where he was talking and eating. We were discharged back to rural Montana to a nursing home, the only one in Montana we could get to accept him. Thankfully it’s my little town I live in but we have no resources here. Despite his incredible resilience, the limited resources in our rural Montana town have hindered his progress. We've reached a point where Ryan requires more advanced and hands-on care, which simply isn't available locally.
Ryan has shown remarkable progress in understanding and even writing his name. However, he still faces significant challenges in regaining his ability to walk, speak, and eat. While he's showing promising signs such as chewing ice, he needs access to specialized rehabilitation services that are beyond what is available here.
That's why we're turning to you for help. We urgently need to relocate to another state where Ryan can receive the comprehensive care and rehabilitation he deserves. Our goal is to find a reputable inpatient rehabilitation facility where Ryan can receive the intensive therapy, he needs to regain his independence.
But we can't do this alone. Relocating and accessing these crucial services come with significant financial barriers. That's why we're asking for your support. Your donation will help cover the costs associated with relocation, medical expenses, rehabilitation services, and necessary accommodations.
Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a difference in Ryan's life and his journey towards recovery. Your generosity will give him the opportunity to access the care he desperately needs and deserves.
Thank you for considering our plea and for your compassion and support during this challenging time. Togetheru, we can make a meaningful difference in Ryan's life and help him on his path to recovery.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Ronda Huffman
