Ryan from Austin is a 17-year-old friendly boy who loves music and dancing. Ryan has undergone two complex heart surgeries. At seven months old, he was diagnosed with Williams syndrome - a genetic condition that affects heart health and development. His first surgery was performed when he was three months old, and the next one took place when he was four years old. After the diagnosis, the family immediately began visiting specialists and participating in various activities and therapies to support Ryan's development, despite the prognosis. The results are evident—there has been significant improvement in the boy's language and speech development, as well as in his coordination and attention span. Equine therapy has played an important role in stabilizing his emotional balance. Along with other rehabilitation efforts, this therapy yielded good results in the boy's development. Ryan can now read and write, and his understanding of mathematical concepts has improved. He attends school and is a sociable young man. In the afternoons, his mother persistently works to support Ryan by taking him to activities, such as an intellectual development studio, where Ryan works with a psychologist, educator, speech therapist, and ABA therapist. Ryan regularly attends physical therapy and massage sessions. Thanks to these regular therapies, Ryan's development has significantly progressed; however, it is crucial to continue the current efforts so Ryan can live independently and integrate into society, minimizing his need for adult assistance.

In a family where the sole breadwinner is his father, it is very challenging to cover all expenses for specialists and activities. Ryan's family is seeking community support for his rehabilitation, as they cannot provide the necessary assistance solely with their own resources. Ryan needs $16,360 for his developmental activities and rehabilitation for the year.
