John Arredondo's Memorial Fund

Our hearts are broken to say that our beloved friend Ruthie lost her husband, John Arredondo, on Sunday, November 20th. John was struggling with his mental health and tragically took his own life Sunday evening. He was a husband, father, son, brother, friend and loved by so many. He has left behind countless individuals who are affected and devastated by this immense, traumatic loss.

We have launched this campaign to help Ruthie and John's family pay for memorial costs and other expenses that have now unexpectedly fallen on the family. Every gift of generosity helps; there is nothing too small that his family would not cherish and be grateful for during this time.

We'd also humbly ask that you continue to keep Ruthie, her daughters, John's daughter, their entire family and support group in your prayers as they navigate this tragedy. There are no words to express the vast impact of suicide on the lives of all those left behind. Your prayers and support mean everything at this time.

If you, a friend or a family member struggle with suicidal thoughts, help is always available. Please call the National Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988. The Lifeline provides 24/7, free and confidential support for people in distress, and prevention and crisis resources for you or your loved ones.
