Receive Text UpdatesRuth is a wonder all her own; curious, kind, and full of quiet magic. She shares her last goldfish (after a nibble), counts everything in sight, and hums her ABCs like a secret song. She prefers the shimmer of perfume counters to playgrounds and finds poetry in puddles. With a brilliant mind, gentle heart, and a world of stories behind her eyes, Ruth doesn’t just observe, she enchants.
What are Ruth's favorite activities?Ruth is a full-time water lover and part-time gravity scientist. She pours, splashes, and drops with great focus—all in the name of research. Pools, splash parks, sinks, and baths are her natural habitat. She’s obsessed with letters and numbers, creates stories from stickers, and sorts markers like a curator. She adores books and music, and ends each day with a nightly concert from her pillow stage. Ruth brings curiosity and creativity to everything she does.
How would $25,000 impact your family?$25,000 would mean the world to our family. It would help us access therapies and child care to support Ruth’s growth and creativity. It would ease financial stress, allow us to fully repair our home from last year’s hurricane season, and cover essentials. Most importantly, it would give us stability and hope, allowing me to focus on giving Ruth a childhood full of love, joy, and opportunity.
