Ryan has battled Primary Sclerosis Cholangitis for over 17 years. PSC is a rare disease that attacks your bile ducts and causes the biliary tree inside your liver to close down. Over the past year Ryan’s health has taken a turn for the worse and he has had multiple hospital stays where surgical procedures were needed to implant stints and scraping of the liver ducts to open them back up. He is officially in need of a liver transplant as his biliary tree is no longer and the ERCP procedure he’s been receiving are no longer a viable long term solution. Ryan has recently finished all of his pre-requisites in order to be placed on the transplant list and is officially listed for transplant. Due to all the factors the doctors feel good about obtaining an offer for Ryan to get a transplant, but he and his family are now in the waiting period until they receive the call. A loving father of three and husband requests your donations to ensure his family does not go without while he battles this disease through transplant. It will be a long road to recovery but Ryan knows through your generosity he will be able to heal properly to ensure he continues to grow old with his beautiful wife and kids
Donations will directly go towards medical procedures, the actual transplant, and anti-rejection drugs once transplant is complete. The average liver transplant cost over $875K and though insurance will pay for some the out of pocket and co-pays for anti-rejection drugs will be expensive as Ryan will not be able to work through this process
