Help the Ruach family lay Nya to rest

Donation protected
Nya(lat) Ruach's mother Nyadeng is a quiet and humble Sudanese immigrant with English as her second language.  She has worked a lifetime of long and hard hours since coming to the United States to courageously support and raise 6 children on her own while trying to gain her education on the side.  She didn't hesitate to move her family to Rochester, MN when Nya was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and needed better medical care than she was getting in Nebraska.  She has done all she can to protect her children and give them every opportunity their circumstance would allow.  Nya's medical expenses have always been difficult to manage with all of those mouths to feed.  And Nya's too young and too soon death and the costs associated with it will be a giant stretch for this family on an extremely tight budget and with kids in college.  In honor of Nya's vibrant life and to alleviate the burdens the family will need to bear to lay her to rest, we ask for your generous help to cover Nya's final expenses, including transporting Nya home, and her family's travel where needed.
