My name is Samuel Weidenhofer, and I’m on a mission to help complete a life changing project, the Promised of Love Ministry orphanage in Uganda. What started as a vision to provide children with a safe and loving home is now becoming a reality, with the building already 70% complete. I’m raising funds to help cover the remaining construction costs and get this home finished so Enoch and the children can finally move into a secure place built with love, hope, and purpose. Every contribution helps bring us closer to the finish line. Together, we can turn this dream into a completed home and create a brighter future for these children!! I will be surprising Enoch with the funds that have been raised on my next visit to Uganda very soon...

Help Silvia Get the Life-Saving Surgery She Has Fought Two Years For My name is Samuel Weidenhofer, and with the family’s permission, I am creating this fundraiser to support Silvia Signore and her family during the biggest fight of their lives. I want to be completely transparent: Silvia’s family already has an existing fundraiser that has received incredible support from their community. This fundraiser is not replacing that campaign or suggesting the original fundraiser has done anything wrong. I’m simply using my platform to reach people who may never have seen their story and to help raise the remaining funds needed for Silvia’s surgery, recovery, and the enormous costs that still lie ahead. Every donation from this fundraiser will go directly to Silvia and her family through GoFundMe. ⸻ For nearly a year, Silvia has been in Germany fighting for her life. What began as stage III colorectal cancer two years ago has become an aggressive, recurrent disease. Over the past two years, she has endured more than eight major surgeries, countless procedures, specialised chemotherapy, and constant monitoring. After two major operations and chemotherapy in Australia left her with serious heart complications, her family made the heartbreaking decision to leave everything behind and travel overseas in search of treatment that could give her another chance. Her two sons, Jake and his brother, have spent nearly a year in Germany by her side. They left Australia, stepped away from their businesses, put their lives on hold, and have dedicated every day to researching treatment options, advocating for their mum, coordinating specialist care, and fighting through every medical, logistical, and financial obstacle imaginable. Together, they have already spent well over $450,000 of their own money trying to save Silvia’s life. They’ve emptied savings, taken on significant debt, and sacrificed almost everything to get her to this point. After months of fighting, Silvia has finally been accepted by one of the world’s leading surgical teams. The team believes this major 12-hour operation has curative intent—offering the chance to remove the disease, reverse her stoma, and give her a genuine opportunity for recovery. Without this surgery, there are no remaining treatment options. The current estimate for the surgery alone is approximately €85,000, but that is only the beginning. Operations of this complexity often involve additional costs, including intensive care, specialist nursing, medications, medical equipment, rehabilitation, transport, extended hospital stays, and months of recovery while the family remains in Germany, far from home. Time is critical. After everything they have endured, they are now approaching seven weeks without treatment while waiting for surgery. The surgical team is ready, the treatment plan is in place, and this is the opportunity they have spent two years fighting to reach. Silvia has also missed so much of her four-year-old granddaughter’s life while receiving treatment overseas. Birthdays, family milestones, and the simple moments most of us take for granted have been replaced by hospitals and uncertainty. Despite everything, they haven’t given up. They are exhausted, emotionally and financially, but they still have hope. If you are in a position to help, no matter the amount, your support will go directly toward giving Silvia the best possible chance—not only to receive this life-saving surgery but also to cover the ongoing medical and recovery costs that follow. If you can’t donate, sharing Silvia’s story could help it reach someone who can. Thank you for helping give this family hope when they need it most.

Hi, my name is Samuel Weidenhofer and I’m fundraising to rebuild this incredible school in Papua New Guinea

A devastating fire in Semaphore has left this family with nothing The home belonged to their grandad, and in a matter of moments, everything they had was gone… The mum is a full-time carer for Isaac, who lives with autism and faces stage 2–3 challenges with communication and social interaction. Because of this, she isn’t able to work, and right now their situation is even more overwhelming they’ve lost not just their home, but their stability, safety, and routine. They are now homeless, trying to navigate this unimaginable situation while still giving Isaac the care, support, and consistency he needs every single day. We’re raising funds to help them find a safe place to stay, replace essential items, and begin rebuilding their lives. Any support, no matter how small, will make a real difference. ❤️

6 Weeks. One Mission. Last time I came to the U.S., I met Ed. 88. A veteran. Still working because he had to. We shared his story… and together, we raised just under $2 million to help him retire. After that, thousands of emails came in. Families facing terminal illness. People recovering from car crashes. Victims of scams. Families who had lost everything in fires. Ed wasn’t the exception. This Time I’m heading back across America for 6 weeks. To Just find people who need help… and doing something about it. Where Your Donation Goes To help me show up where it matters. Travel. Accommodation. And direct support for the people we meet. I’ll share regular updates showing exactly where every dollar goes. Be Part of It If you can donate, I’d love your support. If not, sharing and following matters more than you think. Thank you ❤️

I met a beautiful family in PNG who we are now raising money for… In 2006, this mother lost her husband to illness, and since that day, she has carried the full weight of raising her children on her own. Through grief, hardship, and uncertainty, she never gave up on her family. Then in 2023, tragedy struck again… their home was burned down. In a single moment, everything they had was gone. Not just their house, but their sense of safety, comfort, and the little stability they had built over the years. Since that day, they’ve been left with almost nothing. They’ve been forced to sleep under tarps, trying to shield themselves from the outside world with whatever they can find. Two of her daughters are living with disabilities, yet despite everything, this mother continues to show up every single day with a strength that is hard to put into words. To survive, she goes out fishing, just to try and feed her family. She told me there are days they go 2–3 days without eating… something no family should ever have to experience. Last night was especially heartbreaking. One of her daughters, who has a disability, fell from the school benches she has been sleeping on and woke up with severe bruising across her face. We were able to step in and provide a small moment of relief, buying her a proper mattress and a blanket. When she received it, she broke down in tears. It was such a simple thing, but to her, it meant everything. But the reality is… they need so much more. This family deserves a safe place to call home. They deserve to eat every day. They deserve comfort, dignity, and the chance to rebuild their lives after everything they’ve been through. We are raising funds to help them rebuild to provide safe shelter, consistent food, and support for the children, especially the daughters living with disabilities. Every single donation, no matter how big or small, will go directly toward changing their lives. Moments like this remind us just how strong people can be, even when life gives them every reason to break… but they shouldn’t have to do it alone. Let’s come together and help this family rebuild their future. ❤️ there can’t be a PNG beneficiary due to it not being an eligible go fund me country, so my team in PNG is gonna help w this. Many updates will be provided :)

I met Lisa on what seemed like an ordinary day in a supermarket in Sydney, but it turned into something I’ll never forget. She had been nominated by a friend for support, though at the time, she didn’t see it that way. In fact, when I first approached her, she was overwhelmed and even a little annoyed understandably so. Life had already thrown so much at her, and trusting a stranger in that moment wasn’t easy. Lisa has been living with multiple sclerosis for the past two years, and it has changed everything. She can’t work anymore, and some days the fatigue and pain are so heavy that even getting out of bed feels impossible. Recently, her situation became even more difficult she lost everything and now lives in a caravan in a driveway, without the basic comforts most people rely on. As I got to know her, I began to understand just how much she’s been through not just physically, but emotionally. What struck me most was how simple her dreams are. She isn’t asking for anything extravagant. She just wants a place to call home, a dog for companionship, a car for independence the basics that so many people take for granted. Over time, that initial frustration softened, and a connection formed. Helping Lisa hasn’t been about big, dramatic gestures, but about showing up, building trust, and reminding her that she’s not alone. Meeting her changed my perspective it showed me how quickly life can shift, and how powerful it can be to stand beside someone as they try to rebuild, one small step at a time. Let's come together and make her dreams come true. She will be the beneficiary and receive all funds raised!

I Samuel Weidenhofer came across Goldie’s story on the news and connected with her friend to help surprise her and share her story on my social media pages, to hopefully allow Goldie and her family's dream of her getting treatment in Singapore to become a reality Goldie is just 20 months old. She should be playing with her sisters in the garden, but instead she faces life saving radiation overseas. One of the rarest and most aggressive childhood cancers has taken hold, and safe treatment isn’t available in Australia. At home, she’s their ‘Golden Bean,’ with the cheekiest little grin that hints she’s up to mischief. Her favorite game is lining up tiny pebbles into perfect piles then flinging them across the room in a mix of laughter and chaos. Those ordinary toddler moments have become sacred. In mid-2025, everything changed. Goldie began losing motor skills she went from almost walking to collapsing and eventually couldn’t stand. Despite raising concerns, repeated tests, and asking for help, doctors initially dismissed the signs. Her pain worsened, with hours of screaming and agony, leaving her family feeling helpless. On October 22nd, she became critically unwell and was rushed to emergency care. Scans revealed a large tumour crushing the nerves in her spine. That evening, the 17-month-old was taken into emergency spinal surgery. Goldie survived, but the battle was far from over. A month later, she was diagnosed with an ultra-rare and aggressive cancer called extra-cranial malignant rhabdoid tumour (eMRT), with less than five documented cases worldwide in her condition. Since diagnosis, Goldie has endured intensive chemotherapy, infections, transfusions, hair loss, and more. And still she smiles, still flings pebbles, still shines. Now, the next critical step is radiation. Standard photon therapy in Australia carries significant lifelong risks for a toddler. Proton therapy, available overseas, dramatically reduces exposure to developing tissues and could mean the difference between lifelong disability and a more normal future. Goldie’s family must urgently relocate to Singapore within the next 10 days to access this treatment. Your support will help fund: Proton therapy treatment overseas Urgent international travel and accommodation Medical insurance and specialist care Support for her sisters’ care and well being This isn’t just about saving her life it’s about protecting her future. Please help protect their Golden Bean. If you can donate, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. If not, sharing her story brings them one step closer to giving Goldie the safest treatment possible.
