<div>FROM SLAVE TO BUFFALO SOLDIER – COURAGE WORTH HONORING
</div>
<div>Cathay Williams is the only known documented African- American female Buffalo Soldier; a courageous woman who despite the prohibition against women serving in the Army, enlisted as a man under the false name of William Cathay on November 15, 1866.
</div>
<div>Little is known of Cathay Williams’ life; however, this is what we do know:
</div>
<div>• U.S. Army documents show she was born in Independence, Missouri in 1844 to an enslaved
</div>
<div>mother and a free father. She was pressed into service by the U.S. Army during the Civil War at
</div>
<div>the young age of seventeen.
</div>
<div>• We also know she traveled throughout the West as an army cook and washerwomen under the command of General Phillip Sheridan and the United States Color Troop.
</div>
<div>• What we don’t know, but can imagine, are the hardships this teenager endured and the abuse
</div>
<div>she bore during the years before her enlistment in the 38th U.S. Army Infantry in 1866.
</div>
<div>• In 1868 due to failing health (she contacted smallpox in New Mexico), her sex was revealed and consequently given an honorable discharge.
</div>
<div>• She lived in and about Trinidad, Colorado until her death in 1892. Although not proven, it is
</div>
<div>believed her burial took place in an unknown grave site in Trinidad, CO.

Memorial Statue for Ms. Cathay Williams

I have spent over 30 years in the culinary field, most of that time right here in Southern California. My passion for food and flavor led me to start a small batch, all-natural barbecue and hot sauce company, inspired by the vibrant local ingredients and the desire to offer a health-conscious alternative to traditional sauces. Unfortunately, despite my dedication and vision, I had to put my venture on hold due to a lack of capital. It was a tough decision, but I never lost sight of my dream to bring El Padre sauce to life and share it with my community. 
<br>
<br>
 Now, I am reaching out for support to help me rebuild and relaunch my sauce company. The funds raised here will go directly toward every aspect of the business: sourcing fresh, local ingredients, bottling the sauces, creating merchandise, and marketing to spread the word. Your support will not only help me overcome the financial hurdles but also allow me to continue my mission of providing an all-natural, health-conscious alternative for sauce lovers everywhere. 
<br>
<br>
 I want to thank everyone who believes in me and my dream. Your encouragement means the world, and I invite you to join me on this journey as I rebuild El Padre sauce and share it with everyone. Together, we can make a difference and bring something truly special to the table.

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Flooding is one of the most devastating natural disasters in the US, causing billions of dollars in damage each year and displacing thousands of families. Too often we see people create fundraisers on the GoFundMe platform asking for help in the wake of destructive floods.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>GoFundMe.org has launched this fund to provide direct and immediate support to those impacted by floods this year. Tax deductible donations will go to individuals and families impacted, and to the nonprofit organizations who are responding on the ground. Every dollar will go directly to the communities in need. Your support will help flood survivors begin to rebuild—stronger and together.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Current Need</strong>
</div>
<div>On December 9, 2025, an atmospheric river began sweeping through Washington state and the greater Pacific Northwest, resulting in widespread flooding and damage. We will be issuing grants to verified folks impacted as donations are raised.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On October 12, 2025, Typhoon Halong swept through Alaska’s Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, resulting in widespread flooding and damage, and over 2,000 people being displaced. New donations raised will be granted to support this community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are currently raising money to support victims of the deadly flooding in Gila County, Arizona.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Torrential rain on this August caused historic flash flooding across southeastern Wisconsin, damaging over 1,800 homes and 20+ public schools. Streets, schools, and neighborhoods in Milwaukee County were overwhelmed as rivers reached record levels. Thousands of families are now displaced, schools are facing costly repairs, and FEMA is still assessing the full extent of the damage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over the July 4th weekend, catastrophic floods swept across Central and South Texas, devastating homes, displacing families, and leaving entire communities underwater. With little warning, rising waters destroyed businesses, washed away roads, and forced emergency evacuations. Thousands of Texans are now navigating the aftermath—mourning lives lost, cleaning up what’s left, salvaging what they can, and facing an uncertain road to recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In mid‑June, San Antonio was slammed by a flash flood when over 6 inches of rain fell in just a few hours, sweeping away vehicles and killing 13 people. This marked the city’s worst flooding in over a decade, causing extensive infrastructure and road damage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Who we help</strong>
</div>
<div>We deliver cash grants directly to those impacted by domestic floods. We grant to verified individuals who qualify and are fundraising for themselves or on behalf of someone else. We may also provide grants to fundraisers benefiting small businesses and community relief efforts, and to vetted nonprofits coordinating long-term recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why donate to this fund?</strong>
</div>
<div>We provide swift support (within a few days) to individuals and communities who are directly impacted by a flood, supporting as many people as we can. Donations to this fund are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by U.S. law. We’ll send you a receipt upon donation completion.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Stay informed of our impact</strong>
</div>
<div>We’re deeply committed to operating with transparency and strive for maximum impact. We post regular updates to this fund about how donations have helped which are emailed directly to donors.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Thank you</strong>
</div>
<div>Thank you for supporting this critical relief fund. Every single donation is meaningful, no matter how small. Together, we can show up for people in times of crisis and let them know they are not alone.

2025 Flood Relief Fund

<div>"I don't know what to say. I'm still in shock. The horrific fire destroyed my home and everything I owned." This was Toni Scalera's heartbreaking response when I called her yesterday (January 7th).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Pat Craig, Executive Director of the world's largest Lion, Tiger, and Bear Sanctuary, a non-profit that relies on compassionate individuals like Toni.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Toni, a dedicated volunteer at our Sanctuary for over a decade, spent her life helping others. Now, she desperately needs our help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Forced from her Altadena, CA home at 3:00 AM by raging wildfires, Toni, a retired senior citizen living on a limited income, lost everything except the clothes on her back and her beloved cat.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Like countless others affected by these devastating fires, Toni must rebuild her life from scratch.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Known for her gentle spirit and unwavering generosity, Toni is like family to all of us at The Wild Animal Sanctuary. We deeply miss her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After moving to California to be closer to her son and grandchildren, her life was tragically disrupted by these fires.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>Now, heartbroken and uncertain about the future, Toni needs our support.</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please join me in donating to this Go Fund Me account to help Toni rebuild her life!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All monies donated will go to Toni so she can find a place to rent and put a roof over her head again. In addition, she will use the funds to purchase clothes and the basic necessities that are needed to live alone. It will definitely take a lot of money to rebuild her life, but for now, we hope to raise enough to get her back on her feet.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have been the Director of The Wild Animal Sanctuary in Colorado for more than 45 years and promise that every donation given will be given to Toni for her much needed recovery.
</div>

Help Toni Scalera Rebuild After Fire

<div>Hi, my name is Amy Main and I am raising funds on behalf of Amber Bush’s family for her funeral expenses and for the continued medical needs of her children.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Amber was a beautiful soul and brought a special spark to the lives of everyone she touched. She was only 38.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Amber leaves behind two teenage children and young twins with special medical needs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please consider donating, as her family does not have the means to cover her funeral expenses. Plus the young twins have ongoing, lifelong medical needs. All funds will go directly to the family on her behalf.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Her family thanks you!
</div>

<div>My name is Patricia Potts and a best friend suddenly passed away yesterday. Her name is Linda Johnson and she touched the lives of so very many people. From feeding her co-workers at AFW FedEx to feeding the homeless in the park in Trinidad, Colorado, she showed her love through cooking and sharing. She was a wonderful Airbnb hostess, a faithful parishioner of her Catholic church, a caring mother and doting grandmother and a beautiful friend to so very many beyond me. I'd really like to give her young adult sons, who are just starting there lives and families, a little help during this very difficult time by helping to ease their financial burden in this process. If Linda touched your life, please consider donating anything to help send her off and show her boys how much she meant to so many. I will post info about arrangements once they are known.
