From One Child's Hope to Healing Other's: Our Story of Love, Innovation, and Accessibility
The Heart Behind Jake's Healing Place
Jake's Healing Place was created from a grandparent's love, a mother's determination, and a family's life-changing experience with hyperbaric therapy. It tells the story of how one child's journey inspired a mission to offer hope and healing to families throughout the nation.
A Family's Journey
When Annette and Rick Ryder's grandson, Jake, was born with a rare genetic disorder, the family found themselves navigating uncharted waters. Krystal and Nathan were told to take Jake home and begin hospice. His seizures were uncontrolled. Jake's mother, Krystal, tirelessly searched for treatments that could improve her son's quality of life as hospice was not a suitable option to her. It was during this search that they were able to contact a doctor that began treating Jake as an infant with hyperbaric therapy.
The Turning Point
Despite being on epileptic medication, Jake was experiencing 20 to 30 seizures a day at just one month old. In a bold move, Krystal decided to try hyperbaric therapy for Jake, making him one of the youngest children to enter a hyperbaric chamber for seizure control. The results were nothing short of remarkable: within two months, Jake's seizures had significantly decreased, now only occurring when he's ill.
From Personal Experience to a Greater Purpose
Witnessing the transformative power of hyperbaric therapy in Jake's life, Annette and Krystal realized that this treatment could be a lifeline for many others. With their background in hyperbaric chambers, they understood not only the therapeutic potential but also the challenges many families face in accessing this treatment.
Founding Jake's Healing Place
Driven by compassion and a vision of accessible healthcare, Annette established Jake's Healing Place. Their mission was clear: to extend the hope they found to families across the nation. They committed to making hyperbaric therapy and essential medical equipment accessible to those who need it most, regardless of their financial circumstances.
A Legacy of Healing
Today, Annette and her family run Jake's Healing Place with hearts full of empathy and a wealth of experience in hyperbaric therapy. Their unique combination of personal experience and professional knowledge drives their passion to help others. They believe that every individual deserves a chance at healing, and through Jake's Healing Place, they're making that belief a reality for countless families facing similar challenges. Jake's story is not just about one child's journey—it's about the ripple effect of hope, the power of a family's love, and the impact that accessible, innovative treatments can have on lives across the country.
