Meet Ryder

Ryder was born in December 2025 with a condition called Hypoplastic left heart syndrome.    He is from the Roanoke area and we discovered his dad was the one who built our UVA basketball bench in 2020 for our fundriasing raffle we had during Covid.  We were so happy to be able to help this family.  

Ryder is the first born child and his parents stayed comfortably in Baer-Hart House until Ryder was strong enough to go home.
