<div><strong><em>“I heard the news. What can I do?? How can I help??”</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We (John’s team) are speechless at the outpouring of support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We will be focusing all efforts on taking care of (John’s bride) Lindsay and their four daughters (Reagan, Blakely, Saylor, &amp; Layton – age 4 to 13).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As our friend, brother, mentor, and leader often said: <em>“Take care of the inner circle and the rest will work itself out.”</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For other ways to help John's family (and there are many), please visit <a href="https://giftologygroup.com/ruhlin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">our live update page</a> -- this is also where service &amp; celebration announcements will occur.
</div>
<div>(It is likely that all of John Ruhlin's social media platforms will be locked, and therefore we won't be able to update there)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Funeral preparation.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We would like to relieve the family from the logistics of John’s sudden passing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are in the St. Louis area and have either (1) connections or (2) willingness to help, be boots on the ground, etc – your help would be very much appreciated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please email Kami Schiller – kami(AT)ruhlingroup.com – who will be working (remotely) with Rod &amp; the family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>NOTE: all information regarding services will be posted on the <a href="https://giftologygroup.com/ruhlin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">live website</a> as it becomes available.

</div>
<div><strong>Financial contribution.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>John Ruhlin was a successful businessman.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That said, we recognize that many feel solace in moments of financial contribution.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are called to do so, monies collected (less any GoFundMe fees) will be used to help us support John's family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We believe the best way to love John’s family is not the next 12-24 months. But the next 12-24 years as his girls grow, mature, and ask questions about their father.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our team is committed to uphold the values and legacy of our founder.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are committed to financially support Lindsay and their daughters into adulthood.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are GIFTOLOGY’s #1 fans – and we are committed to our clients, friends, and the generosity movement.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We believe the best way to “play the long-game” in this tragic situation is to build a company John would be proud of.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>Friends, thank you.</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for supporting one another, for loving the Ruhlin family, and your desire to help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Being loved by John Ruhlin was a profoundly extraordinary gift.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>His light continues to shine within us, guiding us on this side of eternity.
