Support for the Ruch Family – Benjamin’s Journey
The Ruch family recently welcomed their beautiful twins, and while the babies are stable, the early days have already been incredibly challenging. Baby A was born at just 15oz and Baby B at 2lbs 5oz, requiring extended hospital care and constant monitoring.
Now, Benjamin is preparing for a major next step in his care. He will be transferred to the Nicklaus Children’s Hospital in Miami , though the family is also pursuing the possibility of getting him into CHOP (Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia), which specializes in children like Benjamin and is running a trial that could truly be life-changing. Both hospitals are equipped to provide the intensive care he needs, but this journey will be physically and emotionally taxing for Lana and Ryan, who will need to be by his side throughout.
This SupportNow page is designed to make supporting the Ruch family easier and more impactful. Here, friends, family, and community members can:
- Stay up-to-date on Benjamin’s progress and milestones
- Contribute directly to help cover medical bills, travel, and family needs
- Offer assistance through the Lend a Hand feature for meals, errands, and other practical support
Every donation, message, and act of support provides a lifeline to this family during an incredibly challenging time. Your help allows them to focus on Benjamin’s care and gives them the strength to navigate this next chapter.
