Ruth C.

Ruth C. says she is too young to let a bum hip slow her down. At age 85, Ruth had her third hip surgery. Thanks to the Ride United Last Mile Delivery program, Ruth was able to make a hot, nutritious meal with the essential pantry items delivered by a DoorDash courier. Your contributions to the United Way of Greater McHenry County make it possible for people like Ruth to recover in their own homes and alleviate the stress of figuring out how to get to the grocery store while she heals.
