Brian Ruiz, my co-worker of 25 years, recently faced one of the toughest challenges of his life.

On December 3, 2025, Brian bravely underwent surgery to remove a tumor from his brain. While the operation was successful, the road to recovery is long and filled with uncertainty. Brian is now at home, surrounded by the love and care of his wife, Alyssa, and their four young boys, who are doing everything they can to support him through this difficult chapter.

Unfortunately, Brian was between jobs at the time of his surgery, which has added a significant financial strain to an already overwhelming situation. The family is now facing mounting medical bills and daily living expenses, all while focusing on Brian's recovery. As friends and colleagues, we want to come together to help ease the burden and give Brian and his family the support they need.

Your support—through a donation, sharing this page, and keeping the Ruiz family in your thoughts—will make a real difference.

THANK YOU for standing with Brian and his family during this deeply challenging time. Your kindness and generosity truly matter.
