It was a trip that turned into tragedy. At the beginning of February 2024, the family of Ricker Stippick decided to make his dream come true. In fact, the child wanted to go to New York to see musical comedy Hamilton on Broadway. His parents, from Texas, saved up to pay for a four-day trip with him.
Once there, the little boy lived a daydream before suffering a terrible health problem. On his tenth birthday and on his way to the 9/11 memorial, Riker Stippick suddenly complained about “worst headache” that he ever had. According to New York Postthe child lay down on a bench and started to vomitbefore his parents decided to call for help.
The state of health of the child uncertain after a ruptured aneurysm
Quickly evacuated to the hospital, the little boy was plunged into a coma. Doctors discovered that he had been the victim of a aneurysm rupture. They also detected a arteriovenous malformation. This is an abnormal communication between arteries and veins in the brain. “We don’t know if we can expect him to recover, or when, and even less what types of therapies or treatments will be needed in the future.” lamented his father to Fox 7.
While doctors had prepared Riker Stippick’s parents for the worst, his state of health would now be “optimistic”. However, those close to him are still very worried about possible after-effects and concerning the costs of his hospitalization. Indeed, between the care, the prolonged stay in New York, the cost of a possible transfer to Texas, the care of the little boy’s sisters and the temporary absence of work, his parents are overwhelmed. A jackpot GoFundMe was therefore created to help them. In a few days, it has already exceeded the bar 100.000 dollars.
