Hi, I’m Rudy Ruiz, a disabled National Guard combat veteran. I served 14 years and was deployed to Iraq 2 times. I have been struggling financially to help my family and need help quickly because I was diagnosed with lymphoma last fall.

I was diagnosed with lymphoma at the age of 44. I have completed my first Chemotherapy and am on a second-round journey. My next move is going to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, the way my doctor explained it to me was, if I don't go to the Mayo Client, my time of survival is months. So I’m praying that the trial will extend my life.

Since his second diagnosis, Rudy has left us. His goal is to raise at least $150,000 to help ease his children’s financial burden while adjusting to living without their dad by there side. Donations will go towards helping his kids go through this tough time. Any donations will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
