Hey R2R let's help a fellow hobbyist! (Bracelets for Rylee Simmons)

[revhtree Verified Admin]

Hey gang every year R2R likes to get involved with helping our community or fellow hobbyist in distress besides the Christmas Toy Drive.

It was brought to my attention that Jon and Melissa Simmons (Boston Aqua Farms) have a little angel with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and is undergoing treatment.

The treatment plan is 2 years long and the bills are very high, The family have to travel an hour or more to Boston twice a week for checkups and to receive treatments.

To help pay the growing list of bills, mom (Melissa Simmons) is making bracelets to sell to anyone that is willing to buy them. These are simple beaded bracelets but they are made with love and care and hope for Rylee's future.

I think we should get behind this family and show them the support of our reefing community!

Donation sent. BAF is one of my biggest competitors. If I feel compelled to help this little girl out I think most of us can dig deep and come up with a little something. I have two special needs kids and a wife with multiple health issues at home myself. So I know all about struggling with medical bills. Trust me, one of the hardest things to have to do is ask for help. Reefers are like family and we need to take care of our own. Every one of us could find ourselves in the same situation.

Many thanks to everyone this is just amazing! The response from everyone has been so wonderful I can't say enough to make my thanks meaningful.

I have been meaning to setup an account here for months and months, I just wish I done it sooner so this wouldn't be my first post.

Thanks so much
Jon

Being a father of two girls, this hits home. I know the R2R family here will do all we can to help little Rylee. My family's prayers and wishes are with you and your family Jon.
