<strong>Doug Hubner</strong> is Jason’s father, and he is the kind of man who taught his family the value of hard work, strength, and love. Doug has always been fiercely independent, the person his family could count on for guidance and support. Now, after being diagnosed with an aggressive brain stem cancer, H3 K27M mutant diffused midline glioma, everything has changed. The disease has affected Doug’s mobility so severely that it has taken away the use of his right side, much like a stroke, and he now needs full-time help from his close family for transportation, washing, and daily care. Watching someone so strong go through this has been heartbreaking, and the emotional toll on Doug and everyone who loves him has been overwhelming. Jason and his younger brother Ryan are standing together to support their dad through every step of this difficult journey, doing all they can to help care for him and be there for their family. 
<br>
<br>
 On top of the pain of this diagnosis, the financial strain has become more than the family can manage alone. Medical bills continue to grow, necessary medical equipment is needed, and the home requires a chair lift so Doug can move around more safely. Property expenses have also added to the burden during a time when the family is focused on caring for him every day. Any support for Doug will help ease both the financial and emotional weight his family is carrying and make sure he has the care and equipment he needs. Doug is deeply loved to the moon and back, and his family prays every day for a miracle. If you are able to help, please consider supporting Doug and keeping him in your thoughts during this incredibly difficult time.

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>March 25, 2023</strong>
</div>
<div>It is with a broken heart that I bring this update. With her husband and three beautiful children by her side, Cary passed away early this morning. She fought a battle against time and while waiting to be put back on the transplant list, her body and organs just couldn't keep up. Cary was an angel on earth, a dedicated and loving wife and mother, and a dear and loyal friend to so many. Jason and the kids want you all to know how much your love, generosity and prayers have meant to them. Thank you. And until we meet again Cary, we love you.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>March 20, 2023 - Update</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>To recap... </em></strong>
</div>
<div>On March 3, despite not having any symptoms, Cary was put into a 10-day quarantine after the hospital told them that she tested positive for Covid just before she was taken back for her liver transplant (a viable organ donor from Tennessee was a match). Disappointed and confused because she tested negative just hours before, they went home. The next morning she tested negative with 2 home tests and 1 test at MedExpress.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>Today's update...</em></strong>
</div>
<div>Cary and her family need your support and prayers now more than ever. The 10-day quarantine came and went and Cary did not get put back on the transplant list. Instead, she is facing a new host of issues.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On March 8, Cary went to the Emergency Room due to confusion, fluid, swelling, and her ammonia and sodium levels being unstable. She was almost immediately moved to the ICU, where only 1 person can visit her for 1 hour each day. She is still in the ICU. On top of her levels being unstable, her breathing was strained and she was aspirating fluid in her lungs and throughout her body, due to her liver and kidneys not being able to do their job. She was also bleeding internally and it was unclear from where it was coming. She has received countless bags of blood and had several scoping tests done to find the source of the bleeding. There was a hernia found and a mesh was used to help with clotting, but the bleeding continued. Yesterday she received 7 units of blood within 24 hours. If the bleeding is not corrected, she may no longer be considered a candidate for a transplant.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She has been heavily sedated for the past week - since Monday, March 13. At that time she was put on a ventilator and breathing tube, a PICC line/catheter, IV and a feeding tube. On top of all of this, the doctors don't know if she has a bad infection or pneumonia because her white blood cell count is elevated. She was tested for Covid again and the result was again negative. They are treating her for an infection.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cary needs so much love, support and prayers sent her way. She is in multiple organ failure and her liver and kidneys are shutting down. She began kidney dialysis yesterday and the doctors are hopeful that it will reduce the fluid throughout her body and help with the blood issues. As of this morning, she did not need any additional blood and most of her bloodwork came back decent.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This family just isn't catching a break and every turn adds another element of difficulty. While managing the endless worry, keeping oversight of the doctors, financially supporting the family and being the emotional support for the kids, Jason is worn out. Please keep Cary and her family in your prayers. Your prayers and support mean everything to this family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>March 10, 2023 - Update</strong>
</div>
<div>First, thank you for the love, generosity and prayers. Cary, Jason and the kids are overwhelmed and humbled by the outpouring of support from family, friends and neighbors.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cary has been in and out of the hospital with countless X-Rays, EKGs and blood work to ensure that she is ready for surgery as soon a donor becomes available. Keeping her ammonia and sodium at normal levels has been an ongoing struggle due to her lack of liver function and strain on her kidneys. This has been the biggest challenge as she waits for a donor.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On Thursday, March 2, they received a phone call. The nurse told them to come to the hospital because they had a donor! Early the next morning they arrived at the hospital. She went through another round of pre-surgery testing (including a covid test that was negative) and bloodwork. She was prepped and ready for her life-saving surgery at 7:00am.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When they took her back for surgery they learned that the organ donor’s liver was not viable. In fact, it was in worse condition than her own. Spirits and hopes crushed, they were sent home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Later that night they received a call to come back to the hospital. There was a new match from an organ donor in Tennessee! They returned to the hospital around 11:00pm, repeated the testing and she was prepped for surgery. They expected her to be taken back around 3:00am.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Instead of being taken back for surgery, she learned that she tested positive for covid. They were shocked because she had no symptoms and she had just tested negative hours earlier for the first surgery. She could not receive the transplant and was sent home again. Even worse, she was taken off the transplant list for 10 days and forced to quarantine.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The next day, two home tests and one rapid test all came back negative, but nothing could be done to reduce the 10-day wait because even with trace amounts of the covid virus, the transplant anti-rejection medication could cause serious risk.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On Wednesday, March 15 - they will be at the 10-day mark and hopefully back on the list and waiting for a donor.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please keep your prayers coming!! Time is precious and your support is giving them the strength they need to fight and win this battle.
</div>

<div><strong>February 6, 2023 - Original Post </strong>
</div>
<div>Writing a Go Fund Me description for my best friend is not something that I ever, in a million years, thought I would be faced with doing. But here I am, doing just that, telling Cary's story.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cary DiBiase is in desperate need of a liver transplant, due to an Alpha1 antitrypsin (A1AT) deficiency, or Alpha-1, for short. It is a hereditary and progressive condition that attacks the liver. Her fight began back in October of last year and progressed very quickly. Today, just a few months later, she finds herself in desperate need of an organ donor or living donor match. Without a transplant, her doctors give her <strong>3 months</strong> to live.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Those who know Cary, know that she is the one who makes others' struggles her own, who steps up and comes to the rescue of her friends and neighbors, and who is the constant that her husband, children and family know they can count on. She is the definition of the word selfless, always giving, and giving and giving. Knowing that people are supporting and helping her will be a concept that is difficult for her to comprehend, one that will be humbling and hard to accept, but also appreciated in a way that words can't describe.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fundraiser will help ease the financial burden that comes with a life turned upside down, unpredictable expenses, lost work, trips to the hospital and all of the other unexpected challenges faced by Cary and her family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please give what you can and know that ANY donation is greatly appreciated. To learn more about what is involved with becoming a living donor and whether you are a match for Cary, please follow this link.

Help Us Care for Cary's Family

<div>Hi, my name is Rhianna and I am not normally one to ask for help. 

</div>

<div><br />
</div>

<div><br />
</div>

<div>Unfortunately my sister, Lisa Marie, has passed away suddenly on Saturday evening April 23, 2022 she was 43 years old. She did not have insurance and the burden of her funeral expenses falls to the family
</div>

<div><br />
</div>

<div>Funeral services will be for family members and close friends but are still being finalized. I will post more updates as I get the details. 

</div>

<div><br />
</div>

<div>Please help us inform all who knew her by sharing this post.

</div>

<div><br />
</div>

<div>Lisa Marie Bianco was very fond of the Catskills in the spring so I put this photo together in memory of her.

</div>

<div><br />
</div>

<div>She enjoyed 80’s and 90’s rock music, talking with friends on the phone and despite the challenges she faced in her life she lived it her way.

</div>

<div><br />
</div>

<div>No donation is too small. 

</div>

Unplanned Funeral Expenses for Lisa Marie

<div>Over the past two months Chelsea Alvarez, or “Chelly,” as my babies call her has been experiencing a myriad of health issues that seemed to be GI related. She lost over 30 pounds in a matter of a month. Unfortunately, since our healthcare system has been slammed, she was not scheduled to get diagnostic testing done until October. Her symptoms expanded as of this week to include difficulty breathing and swallowing. The combined symptoms brought her to the hospital two times this past week.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>The second hospital visit brought some answers. However, they are not ideal. Chelsea was diagnosed with a rare fungal pneumonia, ARDS and the rest of her organs are under a lot of distress. This is not COVID related. Within hours of being admitted to the ICU Chelsea’s condition was deteriorating. She was having extreme trouble breathing and unfortunately this resulted in her being put on a ventilator yesterday afternoon. While there aren’t improvements, her condition is remaining steady. The ventilator process is pretty traumatizing but she is a fighter and handling it like a champ.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Doctors still have not completely got to the bottom of the GI issues, but the sedation is allowing them to finally perform the necessary tests.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Chelsea is still not able to breath without the help of a ventilator and it is completely unclear as to how long she will be on the ventilator. She is strong, and we know she will come out of this, but she faces a long road ahead.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Chelsea essentially works paycheck to paycheck and is facing mounting medical bills, and will be out of work for the foreseeable future.  Her parents are in Atlanta supporting her, so they also cannot work right now to help her. Inevitably, this will result in mounting bills. We want Chelsea focused on her recovery, and to reduce stress as much as possible. The road ahead is going to be challenging.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>We are kindly asking for anyone that is able, to think about donating to help Chelsea in her recovery. Anything and everything will help. MOST IMPORTANTLY, we are requesting your prayers that she continues to gain the strength to get through this.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Thank you for your consideration, gratitude, good vibes and prayers! Chelsea loves you all!
</div>

</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Early this year, Jeff was delivered the devastating news that he was diagnosed with colon cancer. Typical JD, he remained completely optimistic for a full recovery, especially to be there for Parker. Jeff was unfortunately playing the roll of both parents as just two years ago, Caitlin lost her struggle with an extremely rare form of cancer, leaving then eight-year-old Parker with Jeff his only parent. Without Caitlin, Jeff has done all he could to support Parker, especially his passion for athletics. Undoubtably you could hear the pride in JD’s voice when he talked about Parker’s achievements at such a young age.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Jeff also loved working for ESPN and revered his ESPN colleagues, who have been a constant source of support and inspiration throughout his two decades of work for the network. His unwavering passion for the Bear's was felt by all, including even me, his sister-in-law from St. Louis. 
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Many people have reached out wanting to know how they can support Parker. We set up this fund to do exactly that. Please know that every dollar raised will directly support Parker’s education, health and welfare … and yes, his athletics. P arker will continue to be surrounded by many fans - doting grandparents Sandy &amp; George, Grandma Patty, aunts, uncles and cousins. We hope this fund becomes a lasting tribute to a loving father, son, a great brother-in-law, uncle, professional, coach, colleague and friend.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Donations to Parker's fund will also benefit the cancer research foundation, The V Foundation, founded by ESPN. An extremely generous anonymous donor has come forward to match every $1 raised for Parker by making a matching donation to The V Foundation (up to $60,000). The V Foundation for Cancer Research started in 1993 with a big dream: achieve victory over cancer. Since then, they've awarded over $200 million in cancer research grants and have grown to become one of the premier supporters of cutting-edge cancer research.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>We all love you JD!
</div>

<div>

</p>

<p><strong>Subject:</strong> Rich's story...<br /><br />I first met my friend, Rich, in 1986.  I was in a couple's league with my parents.  It was the first time I ever bowled at Nesbit Lanes.<br /><br /><strong>Fast-Forward...</strong><br /><br />A mutual friend told me about Rich's situation.  <br /><br />It's not good.<br /><br />Because of Covid, the lanes are down over 350 bowlers per week.<br /><br />Leagues keep cancelling.<br /><br />Rich has already borrowed well over $200,000 to stay afloat.  <br /><br />Between now and September, he stands to <strong>lose another $100,000</strong>.  Or more.<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/54249198_1611861150312299_r.jpeg" alt="54249198_1611861150312299_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br />Nesbit's Lanes has been owned and operated by the Nesbit family since 1947.  <br /><br />It's become my favorite place to bowl.  I have gotten to know Rich very well over the last 8 years.  We have become good friends.<br /><br />Rich is one of the most generous people I know.  He never expects anything in return.   I know that Rich is the kind of guy that's not looking for a handout, but <strong>it would be a tragic loss to the Plum community - and surrounding communities - if this bowling alley would end up closing due to Covid-19.  </strong><br /><br />If the lanes are losing 300-350 bowlers a week - even at $10 a bowler -  Nesbit's is losing $3500 a week, or over $14,000 a month in revenue.<br /><br />With more bowlers feeling uneasy with Covid, Rich has lost even more bowlers as of last week.  <br /><br /><strong>I would like to see if we can help Nesbit's Lanes with his everyday bills that are piling up. </strong> I would like to have a place to bowl that has a friendly atmosphere with great people - for me an all the junior bowlers and teens in the community who spend their time there.  He never charges young kids because he loves the sport of bowling, and wants to see it grow.<br /><br />Let's see if we can get Rich through August.<br /><br />Join me with whatever you think you can give.<br /><br />Thanks a lot,<br /><br />Dave Poremba.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/54249198_1611861213996379_r.jpeg" alt="54249198_1611861213996379_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br />Rich has always supported the Plum community, police, fire department and families.  <br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/54249198_1611865626614616_r.jpeg" alt="54249198_1611865626614616_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br />Ricky Brunori, former PBA tour pro, is one of the people who inspired this idea for the fundraiser.  Ricky bowls in the Thursday night trio league at Nesbit's with me.<br /><br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/54249198_161186131316567_r.jpeg" alt="54249198_161186131316567_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br />Sam Cooper is one of the bowlers who's on my team and been part of Plum bowling almost 10 years.<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/54249198_1611861352231059_r.jpeg" alt="54249198_1611861352231059_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br />Barrett Raabe started out working for Rich when he was young.  He's part of the Thursday night trio league.<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/54249198_1611861381406705_r.jpeg" alt="54249198_1611861381406705_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br /><br />Jim Petzel is another member of the Nesbit community who inspired the idea for this fundraiser, and who said he will help spread the word.<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/54249198_1611861440593422_r.jpeg" alt="54249198_1611861440593422_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br />This is the Nesbit parking lot last fall.  It would usually be full.<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/54249198_1611861472337223_r.jpeg" alt="54249198_1611861472337223_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br />We hope to turn the page and fill up this parking lot by next summer.<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/54249198_1611861545704663_r.jpeg" alt="54249198_1611861545704663_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br />Dave Poremba<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/54249198_1611861256565560_r.jpeg" alt="54249198_1611861256565560_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br /><br />Rich has been a huge supporter of the essential front-line workers during this entire pandemic.  He's helped local nursing homes, grocery stores and Plum police right from the start.<br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/54249198_1611858823170634_r.jpeg" alt="54249198_1611858823170634_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br />Thank you in advance.<br /><br />Even pitching in $1 would help!<br /><br /><br />

Help Save Nesbit's Bowling Alley

Hi everyone! <br /><br />On December 11th, Noah’s adoption was finalized! 2020 certainly threw us a lot of curveballs, but man oh man, are we over the moon to have him be officially ours!<br /><br />As you may know, Noah has a condition called arthrogryposis. This affects his spine and limbs. His is classified as severe as other organ systems are significantly impacted; mainly, his lungs (which is why he has a trach and uses a ventilator). Noah’s legs (and arms) are in a permanently bent position. Thus, he navigates with a power wheelchair. <br /><br />Since Noah came into our custody a year ago, Dave and I have been tackling a steep learning curve when it comes to wheelchairs and accessibility. (I also pause this to tell you our child, at age five, puts my parallel parking to SHAME!)<br /><br />One of the biggest curveballs was how wildly expensive wheelchair accessible vans are. Noah’s chair is over 150 lbs. and is quite prohibitive to take about in our Honda. So, we usually pack him in the car and carry or stroll him wherever we go.<br /><br />Noah is a very willful, spunky and independent kiddo. We are quickly approaching the time where his dignity, size and yearning for independence will render our temporary solution unusable. <br /><br />An accessible van would allow Noah to be safely transported in his power chair and be able to navigate the public world independently. It would open up new experiences and include him in his surrounding community in a way that we just haven’t been able to— but very much want to—yet.<br /><br />It took us four years of pretty relentless searching the foster care system to find Noah. He is a once-in-a-lifetime soul. Dave and I wake up every day and just can’t get over what absolute luck we have to call this boy our own. I still get goosebumps thinking about what magic this has all been! <br /><br />In celebration of Noah’s adoption, we are raising funds for a wheelchair accessible van for him. It will be the icing on the cake for what has been an absolute magical, humbling experience of a building a family. <br /><br />We extend our most sincere thanks for helping us achieve something we can’t our own. Wishing you and yours a joyful holiday season!<br /><br />-Michaela &amp; Dave
