@Ford Boss Me

Everybody good day to you uh real quick update on our friend. Ryan krause. Many many of you will know him as rk automotive. As many of you know ryan currently hospitalized with uh.

Some severe brain swelling. And he is currently in a coma. I made a video about this a few days ago. I'll post a link to it in the description down below because of this ryan and his family are going through some incredible hardships right now and myself ford boss me and several others have kind of put together an impromptu fundraiser to help out ryan and his family as they as they go through these troubling times.

I'm very pleased to announce that ryan's gofundme page has accumulated over 34 thousand dollars and the contributions to the paypal link that i set up are almost in excess of ten thousand dollars. So in the past week or so we collectively as a community have come up with nearly forty four thousand dollars. And i think that's an incredible achievement and i'd like to personally thank and congratulate everybody who involved themselves in this situation just for their act of selflessness for another person. Ryan's family is incredibly grateful for your support and your generosity that has been rallied for them in these troubling times.

Because of that ryan's fiance. Katie has sent me. A video response to everything that's happened in the past few days. And i'm going to go ahead and play that for you right now hi.

I'm katie. I'm ryan krause's fiancee or you guys probably know him better as rk automotive. Um ryan's family and i just want to say thank you and express how grateful we are for all the love support and donations you've given ryan. While he's fighting for his life in the hospital.

We especially want to say thank you to ford boss man rayman ray mike mccarthy and all of his other followers for everything you guys have done the support has been tremendous and we cannot thank you enough ryan's a very strong man. We are so hopeful that he can pull this off. But with all of the love and support you've given him. He definitely has one last thing to worry about so thank you guys very much for me.

And everybody else who's involved in this situation. Thank you again for your support. And as ford boss. Me would say be blessed.

    Cool. At least he's not one of those antivax antimask pieces of shit who take up hospital beds in the name of ignorance 🙂

  50. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jim Anderson says:

    Well done Ray on helping out this family. Wish I could have added more than prayers at the moment. I’m in over my head in debt after having my wife in the hospital for the better part of the past 6 months. Will continue to send prayers and it sounds like he’s strong enough to pull himself through this like my wife did. She is to damn ornery to give up easy.

  51. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Anthony Bellard says:

    You're a good man and a good friend for doing this for his family, God is watching

  52. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars kyzercube _ says:

    I muted the video for the first 22 seconds and played Florida Man in the background 🤣Ray, always love your videos as they not only incorporate life lessons but they also attract other mechanics ( like myself ) to laugh and learn.

    Fu*k yes!!!! I knew we would do it!!!

  54. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bluesrains says:

  55. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ED Harry says:

    Thanks to all & God Bless ! Lets not forget to PRAY too , Keep RK in your prayers Please………

  56. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ColinWatters says:

    A relative suffered a brain injury and to help recovery tried Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. There have been a few proper scientific trials that show it can help following brain injuries like concussion but I dont know about infection. Anyway he found it very helpful and it wasn't very expensive. Here in the UK it is used to treat/help people with MS at centers around the country. I mention it because its not widely known about. I have no connection with any providers.

  57. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Phillip Fletcher says:

    Get well my brother.from Fletcher auto repair.look forward watching you video ok .

  58. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Will Hutton says:

    ❤️👍

  60. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Smith says:

    It’s weird hearing your voice and seeing your face. Usually don’t see you on a video. Hope RK gets better.

  61. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Clint Price says:

    Ray, you and your friends have such big hearts and it really does make a difference. It may not be the cause of his illness but I keep saying in yours and others comments that all the chemicals you spray do have a cause for concern. Your videos are great, I get the humor in spraying it but all chemicals have a lifetime cumulative affect to our internal organs and central nervous system.
    Ryan is so lucky to have you guys as his friends.
    Looking forward to hearing some positive news soon.

  62. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars set ward says:

  67. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jj chap says:

    <<<<<<<still tears up at Old Yeller. TYVM for the update. Always amazing to see those who care about those in need. Thought and prayers go out to you and yours, and of course, to Ryan and those with him.

  68. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James C says:

    I would like to personally thank RAY for bringing us the videos about Ryan K. Ryan is in our prayers and because people who care like Ray many people have sent in donations to help Ryan's family. You are a God man Mr. Ray. Please everybody keep sending in those donations to help Ryan and his family. Also pray, it cost nothing to talk to God about sending Angel's to help Ryan. God bless to all the givers in this magnificent Country.

  74. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars GrimmReefer says:

    Thank you Ray. As it has been said by others in this comment block, you get what you give and it is obvious to many of us that you have a big heart. I am pleased we have this platform to help others, as well as, scream at aftermarket wiring. You keep doing you and we will attempt to raise the waters so that all vessels may float a bit higher.

  75. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jim Deane says:

  79. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars michael Lafleur says:

    Ray you are an awesome person for doing this for someone in need and ford boss also. To all the people that helped out with your kindness you are all wonderful people nice to know there are good people in this world still. Prayers go out to RK and his family and fiance.

  80. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Phreak says:

    This kinda shit hits the people that DON'T deserve it all the time, but the people that do go through life healthy as an ox… Karma is off kilter

  81. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Darren says:

    Ray your credentials are so amazing! It's one thing to post great videos for entertainment and educational purposes and another that you can bring a community of viewers together to at least Pray and if possible to give monetarily to support your friend and his family at this time.🙂

  84. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hayley says:

    You are a great friend and person. It's such a shame the US healthcare system forces people to have to go through this. Wishing all the best for Ryan and his family.

  85. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kevin Curry says:

    Still praying everyday for him and his family.

  86. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars TheJCorbi82 says:

    Ray… why do you look like Captain Morgan?

  87. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Kauffman says:

    May God move his healing hand over RK and keep his family

  88. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paul Hall says:

    May God be with you and your friend 🙏 ✨

  89. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chris Browne says:

    Thank you and Ford Boss Me it’s heartbreaking to see him as his fiancée get engaged at a baseball game on his FB page and then to read the worrying updates about his condition. God bless

  90. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chris Bailey says:

    Yeah america…get sick and then hope people on the internet will pay the bill, that in most of the rest of the first world would be covered…but yeah, capitalism is soo good….your health is a commodity. Sorry to hijack this, but this shit is so stupid. Hopefully this guy gets better….O one other thing, if you are going to pray after the fact, try praying to make sure people don't get sick or shot or whatever instead of having to pray for them after it happens…see how that works.

  91. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars clbcl5 says:

    From the description given by ford boss me of his condition it is just like many of the descriptions used on the Doctor TV show House that I have found on Y/T. Something minor turns into something major with no obvious connection.

  92. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars TakeDeadAim says:

    Now THIS is how the world SHOULD work….

  93. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bill Walsh says:

    Happy to contribute.

  94. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jose rocha says:

    God Bless everyone involved that helped him monetarily and the ones who can't but are praying for his recovery

  95. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mark Raday says:

    God bless Ryan and his family and everyone involved with this horrible time. Wish there's more I can do.. I will continue to pray for a speedy recovery. REMEMBER NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF PRAYER 🙏🙏

  96. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars fefi says:

    You're a good man.

  97. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Spongebot says:

    which youtube channel does he have?

  98. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Speeddemon3 says:

    That's fantastic!! Keep us posted with his condition Ray, if you don't mind!

  99. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Wes Gregg says:

    Do they still perform a decompressive craniectomy for that? My cousin had to have one in (if I'm remembering correctly) 1976. He was in… dire straits, and was in the hospital for a while – but was conscious and communicative the day after that surgery, and they later said that (more or less) immediately deciding to do the procedure instead of p*ssing around with medication and waiting (, waiting, and waiting) to see if it helped reduce the swelling was almost certainly the reason that his brain function wasn't negatively impacted. Although I'm guessing that being told that their son (he was 16) had to have the top of his skull removed, and right now would have been pretty traumatic for his parents, in and of itself. Seems like, these days, doctors want to spare people that experience… sometimes to the detriment of the patient (who, ultimately, is their only responsibility). I get that there is a risk of infection and all – but I'd willingly risk that, against the probability of having my egg scrambled by the substantial intracranial pressure issue.

    Serious stuff. Best wishes. . . .
