Description
Ruth Craven was a beloved daughter, wife, mother, and friend who suffered from postpartum depression following the birth of her first child. This illness took a stable, positive, and happy young woman and turned her into a weakened, helpless, lost soul. On December 5, 1999, two and a half months after the birth of her son, Ruth could take the pain and anguish of PPD no more and chose to end her life.
To help prevent this tragedy from happening to another family, her mother, Helena Bradford, and friends, Elaine Earl, and Mary Anna Mullinax formed The Ruth Rhoden Craven Foundation, Inc. in March of 2000. We are a nonprofit organization located in Mt. Pleasant, SC committed to the following goal:
To provide information and support to women suffering from postpartum depression and their families and to serve as a resource to those in the medical community.
