Help Ruby after a traumatic loss of her Husband Terry

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Tim, and I’m reaching out on behalf of my beloved grandmother, Ruby Sanchez. Recently, she endured a heartbreaking loss when her husband, Terry Sanchez, passed away on July 10th, 2024, after a long battle with dementia. He was surrounded by all of us who loved him deeply in his final moments. Terry and Ruby shared a life built on love and mutual support. My grandmother relied on her social security check, her pension, and my grandfather’s social security to make ends meet. But after his passing, the system took away his check, leaving her in a tough spot—just because she earned $200 more than he did. Now, with rising costs, she’s struggling to cover her rent and buy basic necessities. My goal is to raise enough to secure a home for her, so she doesn’t have to worry about whether she can afford rent each month. Any contribution, no matter the size, would mean the world to her—and to our family. I’ve also included a link to my grandfather’s obituary if you’d like to learn more about the incredible man he was.

Thank you for any support you can offer.
