On August 1st we said our last good byes to Ruth Ruiz she was not only my mother, she was also a friend, a manager, a teacher, a mentor, and much more to many of us. She battle a lymphomatic cancer for over a year and in the last couple of months her condition became worst and her life deteriorated every day that passed. She fought hard to stay for her family but God had other plans, her pain was too much for her body to take and in the afternoon she took her last breath surrounded by those who she held dear to her.

Now I'm reaching out to you friends and family of ours to help us reach this goal which will help cover medical expenses of hers and a funeral ceremony like she had wanted, surrounded by all of those who she had beautiful memories with throughout her life. Anything would be appreciated by my family and will help us more than you think. Thank you to all of you from the bottom of my heart.

Sincerely, Fernanda Castro and Castro family.
