Donate to Secure Housing for Ruthie's Family

My name is Ruthie. My husband Jack, son Keith, and I are in crisis.

My son Keith is autistic and came to live with us in 2017 after being sent to a substandard grouo home without my consent. He was trapped there for 10 years before I was able to become his conservator.

I've been doing my best to take care of him.

I am now suffering from macular degeneration in both eyes, so it falls to my husband to be our caretaker.

We lost our rental home in Running Springs and we moved down to Orange County to rebuild.

We were there for almost 2 years before my husband lost his job. We came back up to the mountains as he grew up here and should be able to find employment much easier.

We have a small dog and one cat. Both are fixed.

Unfortunately, my son's SSI is on hold due to moving counties.

So we are in danger of becoming homeless.

I have contacted every outreach but to no avail.

At this point, I'm hoping to raise enough to get into a small rental home. Which I'm sure most folks know isn't easy. This is why I'm asking for $4000. That way, we have enough for a deposit and to turn on necessary utilities.

I just would like to give my son a stable environment again. He needs structure and familiarity.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thank you.
