My name is David Mehlhorn, and I’m raising support for the Ruiz family, whom I’ve come to know through coaching two of their sons, Jose and Jesus, in track and field. Jesus, who will be a senior this year, is also a member of the school’s football team.

The Ruiz family is facing an incredibly difficult season. Mrs. Ruiz is currently hospitalized, and one of the Ruiz daughters is now in the hospital as well. On top of this, while Jesus was at work, their home was broken into and robbed.

They are a kind, hard-working family in need of both prayers and practical support. Any funds raised will go directly toward medical expenses and helping to replace some of the essentials lost during the robbery.

Thank you for anything you can give—whether it’s financial support, words of encouragement, or simply keeping the Ruiz family in your thoughts and prayers.
