New neighborhood
Kevin Burns and his wife moved to Redding, California in 2018. The couple was very excited to start a new life in a new city. The burns had helped people and were generous for anyone they met. Perhaps one of the best types of humans you meet.
Always remembered
When the burns left Ohio, all their neighbors were deeply saddened and did not want them to leave. The couple made everyone around them very happy and everyone appreciated their business. But in Redding, things seemed to be different for the couple.
Ruth Ratliff
Ruth aged 70 lived in the house right next to the one that burns have just bought. Ratliff lost her husband two years ago and had been miserable after that. She had no one to take care of her in the time needed. The poor old woman was alone.
Kindness
When Kevin and his wife learned to know Ruth, they decided to talk to him and be friends with her. The couple was always ready to help people around them. And they would have been more than happy to give the company in Ruth. But what Kevin would discover would be to let him abasourd.
Something weird
However, when Kevin was on the way to Ruth's house, he noticed something strange. He saw that Ruth was not in the house since last night. She was asleep in her car that was parked right in front of her house. And after Ruth started noticing that it was not just a one-day person.
Abandoned
Kevin noticed Ruth for days and that's when he realized that she had abandoned her home. She never went to the house. His car was his house during all the hours of the day. But why would Ruth do that? His house was right in front of her but she did not enter inside. Why?
Feel friendship
Kevin and his wife discussed the issue and came to a conclusion. They were both worried that something is wrong with Ruth and that they should help if that were the case. Kevin finally came out to have a word with Ruth.
Formal
Ruth was very happy to meet his new neighbor. She showed Kevin her little car and asked her family. Kevin felt that Ruth was a very kind and friendly person and so there was before asking her home. But as soon as he asked him why she did not live in her house, there was a complete silence.
No answer
There was an embarrassing silence between Ruth and Kevin after Kevin asked the lady of his house. She quickly changed the subject and started asking her from her wife. Kevin realized that something really did not go, but why does Ruth would tell his problems to a stranger?
An initiative
Kevin understood that you should be friends with Ruth to get to know his secret to give up his own home. It was very obvious that no one would tell his story to a stranger. So Kevin started talking to Ruth as often as possible.
Bad conditions
All that, Kevin noticed that Ruth's car was not in good condition either. The car could not be animated, it was out of service. The Ruth could not interrogate the heating of the car on cold nights. Kevin was more than preoccupied by why Ruth did not go home instead.
Best relationship
Passed days and Ruth and Kevin spoke every day for about an hour. They had become good friends and Ruth had started to share his personal life with Kevin. But few things were left untold and these were the things Kevin wanted to know the most.
A favor
One day, Ruth asked Kevin a favor. She cried before him and told him that she had forgotten the faces of her parents. There was a picture of them in his house and she asked Kevin to do a favor and get the picture for her. But why could not she happen in herself?
Breakdown
When Kevin asked Ruth why he did not herself and see the picture, Ruth broke. She sat down and started crying. Finally, she took a deep breath and told Kevin: "My house became a discharge because my husband died and I lost his head." But it seemed little truth to Kevin.
Dubious
Kevin could not trust Ruth even if he wanted it. He decided that to enter the house was the only way to discover the truth. He told Ruth that he would find his mother's picture for her and get it. She explained to him where the picture would be and told him to look for him in place and nowhere else.
The House
Kevin opened the lock and then the door of the abandoned house of Ruth. As soon as he intervenes, there was a pungent smell and it was difficult to breathe there. Kevin looked around and the house was indeed a nightmare. But he would soon find something that would give him goose bumps.
Looked around
There was garbage and human waste rose everywhere on the ground. What was Ruth even? Kevin has decided to look closely around the place and discover what was happening. He lives something weird and the truth would be revealed now ...
A discovery
Kevin saw a shelf bent up against the wall and when he touched the shelf, he opened a secret piece. For a second, Kevin wanted to flee. Why would anyone have so old a secret piece with such a strange opening? But then he entered inside.
Secret room
The room was dark and Kevin shuddered as soon as he entered him inside. Strangely, there was no bad smell in the room and there was no discharge either. It was a very small room and the walls of the room were covered with photos. And the images were a baby.
Mystery
But who was the baby in all the pictures? Ruth did not have children. And why was this room hidden this way? Was this room why Ruth had become what she looked like now? Kevin had so many questions, but he was afraid to ask Ruth about nothing.
Scared
Kevin had no other option but get out of the house because Ruth was waiting for him in his car. He took the picture of his parents and came out. After handing over the picture in Ruth, Kevin saw Ruth give the brightest smiles but he was afraid of her now. And if she had dark secrets she hid?
Uncertain
At first Kevin and his wife had decided they would help Ruth repair his house. They wanted to clean it so that the old lady would have home. But the house was in so bad state that Kevin now knew that he could not do it alone. And secondly, he was afraid now.
Uncertainty
After Kevin saw the room, he was not sure that Ruth was even the right person. He felt like not to know her at all and everything she ever told him was a lie. Suddenly, he could not trust the lady. But he knew he will have to do something for his own mental peace.
Confronted
Ruth had noticed her that after Kevin went to her house and brought her picture, he had become distant. She could see that he ignored her whenever he could and barely shared a word with her. And then one morning, she saw him coming with worried.
The story
Without indirect questions, Kevin has decided to be simple and asked Ruth about the secret room. Ruth smiled and told Kevin that she had no child on his part and it was nobody else than her own room. It was where she spent her childhood. But then why did she lock it like that?
Wrong
Ruth did not have family and children. She could never get pregnant because of her health conditions and every time she saw her childhood room, she reminded her children. She could not bear the presence and lock it up, the intention of never looking in the room.
Discussion
After hearing the story of Ruth, Kevin and his wife kissed Ruth and decided to move on to help him. They made him understand that she could not live in the car forever. They had to find a way out for the lady.
The solution
Since Kevin and his wife had moved to the city and started a new job, they did not have a big home either. Kevin was not so good to take care of Ruth. And about the house of Ruth? It had only one solution, burning it.
The experts arrived
Kevin called for help and told the team all the situation of the house of Ruth. The team investigated the entire house, trying to see if something could be done to save the place. But the conditions were so bad that there is only one option left and it was to burn the house.
Worst conditions
All rooms at home had walls covered with black mold. The mold appeared toxic and therefore Ruth had no other option but leave the house and give up. Even the experts said it was the worst case they had ever met.
Hopeless
Kevin felt miserable when he came to know that there was no other option for Ruth to save his house. Somewhere inside, the man was guilty because he had the impression of making Ruth homeless by entering his house and seeing the condition.
Find a place
Kevin now wanted to immediately find a place for Ruth so that she does not stay homeless. But he was herself new in the city and barely knew anything about his turn. Kevin felt broken heart. He would never even have enough money to build a new home for Ruth.
Support
When Kevin and his wife saw the burned Ruth House, they decided to open a gofundle page to lift gifts from the general public for a new home for the old lady. All those who have read about the story of Ruth have been emotional and wanted to help him.
All parties
All this then, Ruth did not know that Kevin had tried to help him get a new home. She was standing right there, look at her burnt house. She had lost the place where she had been living for so many years, and she could not do anything to save her.
A phonecall
And then came a call to Kevin, who changed everything. A non-profit organization saw Kevin's publication on the Gofundme page and told Kevin about the house for the elderly who were ready to take Ruth. Kevin finally had a solution for his dear friend!
New house
Kevin told Ruth on the new house and the offer he had received on appeal. The place was only ten miles from Kevin's house. It meant that he could visit the place at any time, he wanted and get in touch with Ruth. He would not have to lose his friend in a distant place.
Acceptance
Ruth has accepted the demand that Kevin did. Herself knew she could not stay in the car for the rest of her life. And now his only other belonging, his house was also part. She would need a shelter and a Kevin option seemed a beautiful.
New family
Ruth moved to the house for the elderly and finally been under a roof after so many years. She felt happy there and the old lady even had a family. All his friends at the place were like his family. She started enjoying this lifestyle.
Re-unions
Kevin visited Ruth every weekend and he was more than happy to see his friend recovering into his new home. His mental health improved now and she left her depressed feelings. Every new day was better than the previous one.
New life
Ruth had lost all his past souvenirs and all that is associated with him when the house was burned. But she seemed happy in her new house. And Ruth would have missed all this, his new friends and a new family if she would always stay in his car.
