Help Ruthann Rebuild After Hurricane Helene

Meet Ruthann Matronardi, an 85-year-old mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and even great-great-grandmother whose home was heavily damaged due to Hurricane Helene that swept across the Gulf Coast of Florida and beyond on Sept 26th, 2024.

Ruthann has lived her life giving to others. She not only raised her own 5 children but also 2 grandchildren. She still works as a receptionist at Innovative Edge Hair Design, giving back to our community every day. This 85-year-old woman was born to be a hard worker and to care about every single person she ever came in contact with. Not only is she the most amazing human being I have ever met, but she continues to take care of her adult children, one of whom has a chronic illness which forces her to be on oxygen 24 hours a day.

Ruthann lost her husband about 6 years ago and her eldest daughter 3 months later. She has cared for her family her entire life and now it is her turn to receive the help she so needs and deserves.

If Ruthann has touched your life in even a small way or if you were touched by this story of survival and perseverance, please donate to help the most deserving human being I have ever known.

My name is Kimberly Pelton, owner and operator of Innovative Edge Hair Design, Ruthann’s employer. With the permission of her family, this GoFundMe was just a small way we felt we could help her and her family during this difficult time.
