Creating Futures Donna Rhodes

Based on a true story, Creating Futures is a beautifully woven journey of tears and laughter. The middle child of a hardworking Hispanic family finds his passion early in life and grasps it tightly as it carries him through life. The result is a trail of miracles that reach marginalized, minority, poor, and hopeless individuals, transforming them into recipients of new and brighter futures.

The story is timeless, relevant, and compelling. Deeply insightful storytelling explores the mind, heart, and character of Richard A. Ruiz while reminding us of our own legacies.
