GO FUND ME - RILEY CREMER

https://gofund.me/cee1bc2b

Please keep Riley Cremer and his family in your thoughts and prayers.  Riley, an apprentice lineman with Mountain States Line Constructors and just 20 years old, has been diagnosed with autoimmune aplastic anemia.  Treatment for aplastic anemia is a bone marrow transplant.  Mayo is hopeful that a match will be found soon, but the next step will bring challenges for Riley and his family. He will need to relocate to Rochester once a match is found for the planned transplant, requiring time for testing to ensure he is healthy enough to undergo a transplant, extensive time in the hospital for the transplant, as well as the need to remain close to his medical team after he is released from the hospital (likely at least 3 months). He will also need to have a family member with him as a care provider during that time to help care for him as he recovers. His mom, Alysha, and dad, Shay, are incredible support for him, but will also have to take extended leave in order to be there with him and help care for him while in Rochester, while balancing traveling back and forth to care for Riley’s younger brother, still in school in Coeur d’Alene. 

Any funds raised will help support medical costs, travel, and the cost of relocating to Rochester for treatment.  

Please consider donating blood at your nearest Red Cross to help support Riley, as well as others needing frequent transfusions.
