When Doug Ruch, a 55-year-old from San Antonio, learned he had just a year to live, he didn’t retreat—he set out on a mission called ‘Dying to Serve.’ Traveling across America, he volunteered at food pantries, senior centers, and shelters, proving that even in life’s final chapter, giving to others is the greatest legacy. His story reminds us that service doesn’t require crossing the country—it can start on your own block. With Skillisto, every neighbor has something to give, whether it’s an hour of tutoring, a hot meal, or a helping hand. Like Doug, we can transform time into impact—one skill, one act, one connection at a time.
