Week One: For Ronnie

For those of you who do not know Ronnie, she's an incredible woman, friend and mother to two teen-aged boys with autism.

Not only does she advocate and fight for what is best for them, she has touched the lives of countless families in Sonoma County and beyond. For many years she has helped and informed other parents of children with special needs though her work with Autism Speaks and the Early Learning Institute (ELI). Ronnie has constantly worked hard to raise money and awareness to support programs for children and families in the county.

Last Thursday, April 19th, her husband Richard passed away while traveling on business. It was sudden, unexpected, and created a huge upheaval in their family.

Ronnie has always been there to support her family, friends, coworkers, and clients. Now it is her turn to be supported. So many have offered prayers and help, yet at such a time it is difficult to think about what is needed and ask for assistance.

This site is intended to consolidate message for Ronnie and her family, as well as serve as a posting place for items / assistance needed. News may be updated here as well, including any upcoming fundraisers, where to send correspondence to Ronnie, and information about the trust fund that will be set up for the boys.

Thank you for stopping by. We'll try to post an address as well for those of you who have further questions.
