Tim Ruane Memorial Education Fund

Donation protected
This fundraiser is for the future college expenses of my 17-year-old niece, Hailey Ruane, who tragically lost both of her parents within the past three months.

Hailey’s mother, Lorraine Ruane, 52, of Morganville, NJ, suffered a fatal heart attack on Saturday, June 1, 2019, leaving behind her husband Tim and son Thomas in addition to Hailey. Two months after Lorraine’s death, Tim, 59, was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Thomas, who suffers from severe autism as well as other serious health issues, was placed in a residential facility so that he could receive proper care while Tim received treatment. Sadly, Tim passed away on September 15, 2019, just six weeks after his diagnosis. Hailey is now living with her aunt and uncle, but she is emotionally devastated and needs all the support she can get at this time. Paying for college is enough of a struggle, but doing so in the face of such tragedy is extremely daunting. 

Please PRAY for Hailey and Thomas. If you are able to help financially, please do so. The Ruane family appreciates your prayers, kindness, and support. To help get the word out, please share the link on your Facebook Timeline or other social media.
