Chris is organizing this fundraiser for John Ruple and his three daughters, Hailey, Madeline, and Eleanor, as they face the sudden loss of their wife and mother. No family is ever prepared for this kind of heartbreak, and right now John and the girls are trying to take each day as it comes while carrying an unimaginable grief. As a friend, Chris wanted to create a way for others to come alongside them with love, support, and practical help during this deeply difficult time.

The funds raised will help ease some of the burdens John is carrying as he cares for Hailey, Madeline, and Eleanor in the days and months ahead. Support will go toward day-to-day expenses, counseling needs, and helping the girls continue their love of softball, which can provide a sense of comfort, routine, and joy as they move forward. Most of all, this fundraiser is meant to give this family a little more stability and hope while they navigate life after such a sudden loss. Please consider supporting John and his daughters in any way you can. Every donation, prayer, and act of kindness will remind them they are not facing this alone.
