The fight of Ed Ruyters life...

Donation protected

A respected business owner, community leader and the father of three beautiful
children (the primary caretaker and provider since the day they were born) is in
the middle of the fight of his life. It’s often said that an accusation is all it takes to
ruin your life, than currently that’s exactly what Ed Ruyter is battling. As
important as his reputation in the community is to him, the real battle is about his children, Brooklyn, Dawson and Bodhi. Above all else, this is where he is focused, this is where it counts. 

For all that know him, there is a divide. Those that believe the accusations and 
those that don't. That is understandable. However, the friends and family that 
know him the most, know in their hearts that he's not capable of the things that 
he's being accused of. They know that his family is his world! And, he would never do anything to harm it, protecting them at all costs; And the costs have been high. 
Unfortunately, his story has yet to be told as his adversary has had a head start. 

We're confident that once his story is shared he will be successful, but it's costing 
him his freedom, his business, his reputation, and most importantly, the
custody of his three children. We are asking all of you, friends, family and 
acquaintances, if you trust in the relationship you've made with Ed, please show 
him your support. I've known Ed for almost 30 years and I've never met anyone
more giving and more generous. He's always encouraging the "pass it forward" 
attitude and does so without expecting anything in return. It's in the spirit that 
he's looking for support. Please consider donating what you can as he faces this
challenge, the most important challenge of his life. He's had amazing support so 
far, but the bills and fees have reached new heights and he could really use our 
help. Thank you for your consideration. Together we can be triumphant and help Ed to reunite with his children.

Thanks,
Shana
