Support Ruth Cusack on Her Journey to Recovery
Ruth Cusack, a passionate outdoorswoman, dedicated conservationist, and devoted supporter of the Purple Heart Hunting Program, needs our help.
Alongside her husband, Louis, Ruth has been a driving force behind the Alaska Chapter of Safari Club International (SCI), tirelessly raising millions of dollars to support conservation efforts, hunting education, and veteran programs like SCI’s Warriors on Safari. Their unwavering commitment has directly benefited countless disabled veterans, including those served by the Purple Heart Hunting Program. Without their partnership and support, our mission would be much harder to achieve.
On September 27th, Ruth suffered a devastating brain aneurysm, followed by a series of medical challenges, including a stroke and several intensive procedures. Although she is fighting her way toward recovery, the road ahead is long and costly. Ruth’s rehabilitation requires specialized care at a facility outside Alaska, and her family is facing significant financial burdens, including medevac transport, medical bills, and associated expenses not covered by insurance.
We invite you to join us in giving back to Ruth and Louis, who have given so much to the veteran and conservation communities. Please consider supporting Ruth’s recovery by contributing to her GoFundMe fundraiser. Together, we can help ease the burden for this extraordinary couple during their time of need.
