Ryder

Ryder was born with a serious heart condition known as a complete atrioventricular (AV) canal defect. He also has Down Syndrome, seizures, and was recently diagnosed with autism in February 2025. Even with these challenges, Ryder is full of joy, energy, and always has a big smile.

He loves spending time with his mom, dad, big sister, and Grammy—playing games, cooking, and going on adventures. Ryder is a true daredevil who enjoys Disney, rollercoasters, waterslides, and anything that moves. His favorite color is blue, and he loves watching YouTube, Fuller House, reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and playing with race cars and remote-control cars. His family is so excited to stay at Give Kids The World and visit the Disney parks!
