Tragic loss of Matt 'Chick-fil-A' Chippeaux

Donation protected
Matt Chippeaux had everything going for him. At only 42, he opened a very successful Chick-fil-A franchise in Land-0-Lakes FL, a suburb of Tampa.

After a five year relationship, he proposed to his girlfriend, Ruth Alicia Reyes,  and invited her, and her two young sons to move in with him, and blend their families.  They spent a year living together in a beautful home in Ivy Lake Estates, a gated community in Odessa, FL, while he worked tirelessly on the franchise. With the business booming, their future was incredibly bright.

Then overnight, their world crashes. Matt passes away at only 43 years young. Since they were not yet married, Ruth is not entitled to any of Matt’s assets or income and she unfortunately has already been asked to vacate the premises as soon as possible. 

Ruth needs our help! Although she is gainfully employed, Matt was the main breadwinner. She cannot afford to remain in the house -or even the area she and her sons have called home for over a year. With her current income, she can only afford minimal rent and expenses. She will also need help with furnishings and moving.  

A bright future has turned into despair in an instant. No fiancee, no home, very little money, and an uncertain future. Please help by donating and forwarding.  Please be generous!
