Ruffino Family House Fire Fund

Early this morning around 1:30am the Ruffino Family home in Tycer Park (Amite, LA) was severely damaged by fire. No lives were lost but all personal belongings, including the only family vehicle, were lost due to fire, water or smoke damage (furniture, medicines, hygiene products, food, etc.). Unfortunately, due to financial constraints related to taking care of Ms. Josie (Nana) who was on long term hospice before her passing in July, there was no homeowners insurance on the home. Louis (dad) and Rose (aunt) have both given everything they had caring for their mother and since her passing, both have had ongoing severe health problems of their own.  They need their community more than ever.

Any financial support you can offer is greatly appreciated. Your prayers during this unimaginable time are also coveted!!!

LOCAL FRIENDS: This tragic event has left Louis and Rose without housing, clothing, and daily essentials.  If you know of any temporary housing availability, please share with Louis @ [phone redacted].  

Rose’s sizes are 6 in pants , Small - Med in blouses and 9 1/2 in shoes .

Louis’ sizes are 38W 32L pants and XL Shirts.

If you can help with clothing, please text Louis at [phone redacted].

They also need IMMEDIATE assistance in getting things out of the home to avoid mold on anything that can be salvaged. If there are any Carpenters / Contractors that volunteer your help it would be most appreciated! Text Louis at [phone redacted]
