Project Update: Quick Update
Just a quick update for everyone on how our artist Rick's family is doing.
(Tonya is their family friend who organised the Go Fund Me and has been a huge help to them all in so many ways.)
The art poll should be closing soon, so we'll have the final pieces that were popular on the pledge manager once that's finished. We are also collaborating with Rick's team at Kids In the Attic to do some charity stream one shots of Rick's ttrpgs. So stay tuned for those on our Twitch channel over the summer!
Meanwhile, here's the update from Rick:
May 22nd, 2025
We wanted to share a quick update on how the kids are doing, and to thank you, truly, for every bit of support you’ve given. This road hasn’t been easy, but your kindness has helped us breathe, regroup, and keep moving forward.
Here’s where we are right now:
Mya is still scheduled to undergo reconstructive surgery on her knee. She's in pain most days wearing an immobilization brace, but handling it like a champ. She just had an ER visit because ortho wanted to make sure she had no clots from swelling, and all is good for now. We’ll know more soon about timing and the recovery process ahead.
Marilyn continues to wear a back brace for her spinal fractures and is still healing from a broken collarbone and hand. She had X-rays today and has a neuro appointment at the end of this week to check on progress. She’s been pushing hard to graduate early, but the injuries have made that a struggle. We’re doing everything we can to help her cross that finish line.
Madilyn is doing better physically. She still has soreness and aches, but overall she's recovering well. Emotionally, though, this has hit her hard, as it has with all the kids in different ways.
Ricky is healing from major abdominal surgery. He had a nick to his kidney and aorta, and then had a small seroma we needed to treat with antibiotics. We're now waiting on follow-up appointments with a cardiovascular surgeon to monitor his recovery and make sure everything is healing as it should.
This week we also started psychological evaluations, and we should have resources in place soon for PTSD and trauma recovery, not just for one, but for any of the kids who need it. That kind of help is hard to come by, and it’s happening because of the support we’ve received.
There’s still a long way to go, but we’re doing it together. One day at a time. Thank you for helping us get this far and thank you to Tonya Sparks for organizing and handling this (and so much more).
With gratitude,
Rick Hershey & Family
