Hi, my name is Ruth,

I want to thank all the generous people who have reached out to help me. The good news is that I can see getting my licenses renewed this week and then I can get work that will enable me to stand on my own feet. Thank you again and may your lives be rich with abundant blessings.

I am fundraising for an opportunity to get back on my feet after the sudden death of my husband on New Year's Eve. We had been rescuing dogs and cats for about 20 years. I find myself with a large number of critters that are too much for one person. I am desperately seeking loving homes. With the loss of my beloved husband, I have also lost about 2/3 of my income. Now I find that he has let many of our bills go unpaid for a few months. I retired about 2 years ago when stricken with cancer, but will be going back to work. Renewing my licenses will cost more than $1000. Any little bit will help. I just want to get on my feet and back to work.
