Hi everyone,

Yesterday morning, Rudy Ruiz' family woke up to terrible news. They were finding out that their beloved Rudy (19 yrs old) had passed away. He had been struggling with depression for a while. He lived with his mother, his aunt and his nephew.

Now his family, apart from dealing with this painful situation, they must also find the financial means to repatriate their loved one to his home country, Guatemala. That is why I am turning to you.

This is a hardworking, low-income family that does not have the money to cover repatriation costs. The Guatemalan Consulate will cover half the cost, but they still have to come up with $10,000, which they do not have.

If anyone is interested and able to contribute financially to this family, we will be forever thankful. Everything counts!! Thank you for your help.
