As many of you are aware, Matt Ruiz was involved in a devastating car accident last year on the eve of March 28, 2008.  Our family has been blessed to have the outpouring of support and encouragement of out friends and community members including you.

As a result of Matt’s accident, he struggled through a month-long coma and was hospitalized for a period of approximately five (5) months.  It goes without saying that Matt’s condition is serious and both he and out entire family strive every day to remain positive as we face immeasurable medical challenges with him.  It was determined, after tests, that Matt has sustained a traumatic brain injury from the impact of the accident.

What this means for Matt is that he is currently confined to a wheelchair is unable to speak and absorbs nutrients through a feeding tube.  At present, his condition has been quite grim, however, Matt has recently made strides with his full-time caretakers and occupational therapist.  While we’re excited to continue this level of care for Matt, we are unable to afford the prohibitive costs.  Our family believes that with continued support and the proper medical attention that Matt will prevail.  We know his spirit coupled with the continued support of our family and friends that Matt will transcend this tragedy to eventually triumph.

We’re writing to share of Matt’s progress and also to respectfully ask for your help and direct support.  We’re teaming up with both Vision International and the Maderas Golf Club to host a fun-filled Golf Outing, to raise funds that will go directly to continue funding further care for Matt.

We invite you to join in the festivities and become a member of Matt’s winning team.  We would be honored to have you with us for the day of golf scheduled for Friday, September 25, 2009 at 1 p.m. entry cost is $150.00 and/or we would welcome your consideration in providing a charitable contribution to our planned auction and opportunity drawing.

Any donations provided by a private person or organization would receive prominent recognition at our opportunity drawing/live auction display area and verbal acknowledgement in the presence of all guests.

On behalf of both Matt and our family, thank you in advance for your consideration of our request.  If you have any questions, or if we may provide you with anything additional, please contact me directly as (760) 484-2767.  We hope you can be with us.

With tremendous hope and gratitude,

Lindsey Smith  (Matt’s Girlfriend)
