Asher Romani Ritter, aged 43, from St. Croix, USVI (via Tampa, FL), passed away on January 26, 2024. Asher was a spiritual person who consistently radiated love in every encounter.

As a child the Ronald McDonald House helped provide Asher and mom Sandra, who has never left his side, with housing, enabling him to receive advanced medical care before he was able to get his first transplant. We've started this fundraiser, in Asher's name to carry on in support of the families staying at the Ronald McDonald House Charities of South Florida. Join us as we carry Asher's name forward to make a diffrence in the lives of families with ill children!
