Fund in Memory of Mayda Ruiz

It was a typical Valentines day 2/14/11. Nothing unusual. Was seemingly going to be a nice valentines day. Mayda had bought the usual treats for her teenage daughter and young son. I surprised her in the afternoon with a delivery of fruit flowers to her job around 230 the afternoon of 2/14. after completing her shift at 530pm that day, Mayda was supposed to go with A family member to workout at 7pm. She then sent a text at 620pm after arriving home telling her cousin that she all of a sudden was not felling well and decided to stay home. At 630pm she called me, her husband to ask if I was on my home because she wasnt felling well, thought maybe the flu. I was on my way home, however God decided that my 25 minute drive home was not good enough and he made the decision to take her away.

Mayda was 36 years old. We had been together since childhood. she was taken from this world 2 weeks before our 20 year anniversary and during the prime of her life. But thanks to this site we hope that we continue to honor her memory as we contribute time, as well as donate to this cause. It's a silent killer that needs more awareness in order to avoid tragedies such as the one suffered by my family. Thank you for your interest and support.
