A Remarkable Journey of Courage and Perseverance
At just five years old, Ryder Wells has demonstrated a bravery well beyond his age. What was meant to be a joyful family trip in 2015 quickly turned into a life-altering ordeal that would test both Ryder’s resilience and his family’s unwavering support.
At only 21 months old, Ryder suffered a devastating attack that left him with critical injuries. Doctors doubted he would survive—but Ryder defied those expectations. His will to live marked the beginning of a truly extraordinary story.
Since that day, Ryder has undergone approximately 50 surgeries to aid his recovery and restore vital functions. Every procedure has been a milestone on his path to healing. While the physical hurdles have been enormous, the emotional toll has been just as profound.
