Hurricane Irma Relief Matching Campaign

Thanks to so many generous contributors to the W. Bradford & Co. Hurricane Irma Matching Fund, we are honored to announce our first $3,000 donation to Eddy and DeeDee Ruiz of Big Pine Key, Florida. After the storm, nothing was left of their home or personal belongings. Due to severe illness and an ongoing wait for a liver transplant, Eddy had been unable to work. DeeDee had been working long hours at a grocery store to make ends meet. The medical bills had been piling up. Then, Hurricane Irma arrived and destroyed their home and a lifetime of personal belongings. Now, even though so much was lost, this tough duo is building a new life with the help of the community. We're deeply humbled that our donation to the Ruiz couple will be covering six months of their rent. We will be presenting them with a check and learning more about their story soon, so stay tuned. Please join us in our wishes and prayers for Eddy and DeeDee – you've got this!

We are pleased to share that we have reached our campaign goal of $2,500 with eight days still remaining for donations. In the coming days we will be announcing the recipients – one small business and one family, both devastated by Hurricane Irma – who will each receive $2,500 to help restore hope for their brighter future. W. Bradford & Co. thanks you for your kindness and support in uniting with us for this inspiring effort.
