Ruby Rios Memorial
Donation protected
Miami Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired express our deep sadness on the passing of Ruby Rios, a victim of a fatal traffic accident on March 5 in Southwest Miami-Dade County. We are starting this GoFundMe page to help Ruby Rios family with burial costs.
Ruby, who was blind, stepped off a street corner when a truck turned into the intersection and struck her. Ruby’s white cane was found by her side when authorities arrived on the scene.
Ruby was a remarkable woman with a bright future ahead of her. A graduate of Miami Lighthouse’s Employment Training Program, she worked in the gift shop of the Perez Art Museum where her diligence was recognized with an Employee of the Month Award. Ruby also dedicated her time and talent as a volunteer in the Miami Lighthouse Social Group Activities Art Program, sharing her enthusiasm and experiences with our clients. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered as a treasured member of our community.
Miami Lighthouse for the Blind will be paying for Ruby's family costs directly and monies left over will be donated to the family.
