About the featured family:
Ruby and her children - Bryson, Mason, and Kaison - are photographed with their dog, Niva. Niva was adopted from the Cincinnati SPCA. The family was not sure how Niva would be with kids, but she immediately gravitated to Ruby’s youngest child. The entire family is currently living in permanent supportive housing, operated by Found House IHN. Ruby and her family lost everything, and to have found stability with Niva means everything to them. Losing Niva would have been like losing a family member.
