 Ryder’s Miracle Foundation 

 
Continuing Ryder’s Legacy Through Hope and Healing.

Ryder’s story touched the hearts of many. Through the generosity of many, Ryder was able to access life-changing therapies that helped him grow, connect, and experience the world in ways that once felt impossible. 

 Those therapies did more than support Ryder. They revealed a heartbreaking truth: for families navigating acquired brain injuries, the most impactful care is often out of reach. Insurance coverage is limited. Costs are overwhelming. And many families are left without options, not because hope is gone, but because access is. 

 From that reality, Ryder’s Miracle Foundation was born. 

 Our Mission 

 Ryder’s Miracle Foundation exists to provide financial grants to families of children with post-birth (acquired) brain injuries, helping them access specialized and alternative therapies that are often not covered by insurance—but can be life-changing. 

 
We believe no family should be denied hope because of finances. 

What Your Support Helps Fund 
Grant funding may be used to support opportunities such as: 

 
  • Intensive therapy programs (physical, occupational, speech, DMI)
  • Neurological and functional medicine care
  • Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
  • Alternative or emerging therapies shown to improve quality of life
  • Travel and lodging required to access specialized treatment
  • Other therapy opportunities critical to a child’s progress

These are the same types of therapies that helped Ryder—and they are the same opportunities families are still desperately trying to reach.
 
Why This Matters
Many of these therapies are considered “experimental” or “emerging” within traditional medical systems, despite meaningful outcomes for children with neurological injuries. As a result, families often face thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket costs with little to no support.

Ryder’s Miracle Foundation exists to help bridge that gap—turning generosity into access, and access into possibility.

Legacy of Light
 
Ryder’s life continues to make a difference. Through this foundation, his legacy lives on. Not only in memory, but in action.
 
Every donation supports families walking a similar road, helping children access care that could change their lives.
 

Thank you for being part of Ryder’s miracle.
To God be the Glory.
