Help with Miss Ruby's Medical and Life Bills
Donation protected
Ruby Wyrosdick is a 92-year-old woman who continued to work a full-time job for over 35 years to provide for herself and her remaining family. She is now retired but in severe pain due to pneumonia and arthritis.
Miss Ruby has been through a lot, which has prevented her from being able to retire. In 2009, her daughter and grandson were severely beaten with a baseball bat. Her daughter sustained injuries that left her physically and mentally disabled, ultimately succumbing to her injuries in 2018. Ruby selflessly took her family in to care for them, even while battling and surviving breast cancer in 2014.

"Man gets 40 years for baseball bat beatings - A man accused of beating his girlfriend and her 7-year-old son with a baseball bat and leaving them in a pool of blood on her kitchen floor claimed Thursday he was acting in self-defense."
In 2022, Miss Ruby was in a horrific car wreck that totaled her car and left her with severe bruising and whiplash.
Despite all her hardships, she keeps an inspiring outlook on life:
"I don't really know what to tell about my life, I've always tried to help others that are less fortunate than myself, I feel like I've been a good person all my life, and I've been blessed with so much."
"Life is a struggle, at any age. I suppose the financial burden is due to my being generous and helping those people less fortunate than myself. As you know, I adopted a grandson in order to keep him out of foster care. It's been a hard time, but I would do it again without hesitation. I have been truly blessed, and I will get through this one also."
Miss Ruby is loved and admired by all of those around her. She is a very strong, kind-hearted, genuinely good person who just needs some help from her community right now to stay on her feet. If you can donate anything, even a few bucks, it would be very greatly appreciated. Whatever you can do to help.
