Former Employee Convicted for Stealing Charity Tickets | Pittsburgh News

A former Pittsburgh Mercy employee, 65-year-old Ramona Wilkes, was convicted of stealing tickets meant for at-risk kids through a charity called Tickets for Kids—selling or using them for personal gain. Charged with serious felonies including theft by deception and corrupting an organization, she now faces five years of probation, including a year under house arrest, and must repay over $57,000 to restore the charity’s mission. This verdict underscores accountability when good intentions are exploited—and how the legal system steps in to protect vulnerable children.
