GOOD MORNING AND WELCOME BACK TO BROOKE COMMUNICATIONS AND
ROGUE CREDIT UNION’S WISH UPON A STAR PROGRAM…

IN A WORLD THAT OFTEN RUSHES BY, THERE ARE THOSE WHOSE KINDNESS AND SELFLESSNESS SHINE LIKE BEACONS. RUTH, A REMARKABLE SOUL, EMBODIES THIS SPIRIT THROUGH HER DEVOTION TO HER FAMILY. HER JOURNEY, ETCHED WITH LOVE AND SACRIFICE, SPEAKS VOLUMES ABOUT RESILIENCE AND THE POWER OF COMMUNITY.

HERE IS TODAY’S WISH UPON A STAR…

Ruth’s life took an unexpected turn when she became the primary caregiver for her grandson following her daughter’s passing. Despite life’s challenges, Ruth’s unconditional love led her to prioritize her family’s needs over her own. Her dedication echoes through her actions as she cares not only for her grandson but also for her other grandchildren, supporting them while their mother undergoes recovery.

The absence of a kitchen stove for over a year meant Ruth resorted to using a hotplate to prepare meals. The sheer inconvenience didn’t dampen her spirit, yet the financial constraints made it impossible for her to afford a new stove.

At 60 years old, Ruth should be relishing leisure time and cherishing moments with her grandchildren, rather than feeling the weight of obligations. Her belief in the true essence of holidays, emphasizing family time and heartfelt gestures over material gifts, speaks volumes about her character.

In partnership with Brooke Communications and Rogue Credit Union’s Wish Upon a Star Program, a beacon of hope has appeared on Ruth’s horizon. Through the collective efforts of compassionate hearts, Ruth will soon have a brand new stove, a gift that will undoubtedly ease her daily challenges.

Thanks to the generosity of Rat Rod Roundup, Ruth will receive a substantial Walmart gift card. Moreover, an additional gift card for Sherm’s Thunderbird will be matched to support Ruth with groceries, hoping to alleviate some financial strain and enable her to focus on addressing other essential household needs.

Ruth’s story is a testament to love and the transformative power of community support. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those who selflessly give their all for others. As Ruth continues her journey of care and compassion, her story serves as an inspiration for us all to lend a hand where it’s needed and spread hope in our communities.
