The unexpected death of Ruthie Akuchie has left the family in need of financial assistance to pay for her funeral . She was only 35 years old. This is such a difficult time and we can help by donating to pay for the funeral expenses.

The funeral expense is estimated at 17,000 but any money raised exceeding funeral costs will go to start a memorial fund in the Mansfield area to support her passion for minority art and artists and the celebration of diversity through creativity.
