<div><strong>Help Ruben Ruiz Recover After a Life-Altering Stroke</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>	Right now, our beloved brother, husband, uncle, and friend <strong>Ruben Ruiz</strong> is fighting for his life after suffering a massive stroke on <strong>June 26th.</strong>
</div>
<div>What began as a hopeful short hospital stay quickly turned into a difficult and uncertain journey. Ruben has faced numerous complications, including additional mini-strokes and a severe fall while in ICU care that caused additional challenges. While he thankfully retains use of his limbs, he has lost his ability to speak. He remains under close medical care, and despite these immense challenges, Ruben continues to stay positive—communicating through hand gestures and nods.
</div>
<div>	By his side every step of the way are his devoted wife, brother, and sister. He is a <strong>loving father to three incredible young men</strong>, and everything he does, he does for them. Many know Ruben as an <strong>extraordinarily talented guitarist, songwriter, producer, and physical trainer.</strong> Around the world, fans recognize him as the guitarist for *NSYNC. Most recently, his creativity shone brightly as he co-launched a new project with the band SKNN.
</div>
<div>	The Ruiz family is proud and private, never ones to share personal matters publicly. But now, <strong>they need our help</strong>. The emotional, mental, spiritual, and financial weight of caring for a loved one under these circumstances is overwhelming.
</div>
<div>	<strong>Ruben’s journey to recovery will be long and costly.</strong> Between ongoing hospital care, medical bills, medications, physical therapy, post-stroke rehabilitation, and household expenses like groceries and mortgage payments—support is urgently needed.
</div>
<div>	With heartfelt humility, we ask you to stand with Ruben and his family in this moment of need. Your donation, no matter the size, will make a difference. Let’s help lift the burden so Ruben can focus on healing and returning to the life, music, and family he loves so deeply.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your love, support, and prayers.
