Ruth Ricks

I love all of God's creations. I live in midtown Kansas City and I want change to come. I love peotry. I have 2 kids Benita and Shawn, and 3 (and 2 potential) grandchildren, 5 brothers, 2 living sisters, whom I love dearly. I have a 96 year old aunt (Aunt Lydia) in California. I was born in Chicago, IL raised in Chicago and Los Angeles where I also went to school. I have no living parents or grandparents. My desire is to use Promises (also found on this site) to create help in redirection from neighborhood crime and to job opportunities, mentoring and motivation in my area, and I hope to be connected to many other cities. I hope to work with schools, realestate professionals, entertainers, sports figures, comedians and many of the homeless shelters. I need money for programs, in-kind donations, ideas that can stimulate this process. Thank you for your support and may God turn your lives around to give this assistance to our organization. Amen
