A dear friend just received devastated news, this fundraiser is to help in her time of need.

Denise Rue and Joe Rue are long time residents of Hornbrook, Ca.

On Dec. 23rd, 2025 they were hit with devastating news, their daughter Samantha Rue had passed away from carbon monoxide poisoning. She was 28 years old. Their whole family is in shock as well as anyone who knows them. Samantha always had a smile on her face for everyone she met, and a huge heart for everyone and everything. She loved dragons, animals, drawing and loved to dye her hair brite colors. Her mom called her ~ her RainbowBrite girl. She was a sweet young girl taken to soon. Samantha now has her wings in heaven along side her older sister Sheila.

This Gofundme is to help pay for all the expenses that will come up in their time of need. Please, if you can help in anyway it would be greatly appreciated. No amount is to small. If not a donation, maybe you can just share this so it reaches more people and it may help this loving family. If you pray, this also would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for any and all you can do to help this family in their time of need..
