Just hours after leaving work, Ryan suffered a massive heart attack and was rushed into emergency surgery. Doctors discovered that only 2% of his heart was functioning. At just 43 years old and in great shape, Ryan's life was suddenly hanging in the balance.  Following a quadruple bypass, he remains hospitalized as he begins a long road to recovery. His wife, Haley, and their two young children, Preston and Paisley, are facing a reality they never imagined. Officer Alexander has a heart for service and has been protecting our city since 2017. He serves in the 2nd Division and has always wanted to be a police officer, driven by his passion for helping others, protecting our community, and keeping dangerous substances off our streets. Now, he needs our support. Ryan and Haley are facing mounting medical bills, and Haley is taking family medical leave to care for him during his recovery. On top of that, Ryan is unable to work overtime to help support his family as he heals. Please join with us to walk alongside Ryan and his family on his journey to recovery. If you’re able to contribute, please do. And just as importantly, keep Ryan, Haley, Preston, and Paisley in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Thank you for your support.
