At SCE, "We Heart Rylan!"


"I Heart Rylan"
Just a few weeks ago, eight year old Rylan (a student at Stewart Creek Elementary), was running the bases and playing at recess.  Recently, all that changed when he was diagnosed with Restrictive Cardiomyopathy.  Rylan needs a heart transplant.  This rare heart condition affects about 1 in a million children and requires extensive medical care.  Rylan truly is one in a million and needs our help.
There are several ways you can support Rylan and his family:
Have a BIG heart and help Rylan’s!
To join the fight to help Rylan, contact Texas Select Property at 936-447-3800

 Right now we would like to schedule volunteers for the month of October.  Please look at your calendar and see which day (or days) in the month of October you would be willing to help out in the areas listed here.  Each month we will be sending out volunteer requests, so if October is not a good time for you, then there will be other opportunities.
