<div>We are raising funds for my sister, Libby Klinner, as she navigates the unimaginable loss of her husband, Alex.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Alex proudly served our country as a Major in the United States Air Force for eight years. He was recently deployed in support of Operation Epic Fury, and on March 12, 2026, Alex made the ultimate sacrifice when his KC-135 plane crashed in western Iraq while serving his country.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Alex was more than a serviceman. He was a devoted husband, a loving father, and the kind of person who would quietly step in to help anyone who needed it. He embodied what it means to be a servant leader. His loss has left an immeasurable void in the lives of all who knew and loved him.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Libby and Alex built a beautiful life together and were raising three precious children: their energetic two-and-a-half-year-old and their seven-month-old twins. In an instant, Libby has been left to walk through profound grief while caring for their young family.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>During this incredibly difficult season, we want to surround Libby and the children with the same generosity and love that Alex so freely gave to others.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Funds raised will go directly to Libby and her children to help support their needs as they navigate life without Alex, providing stability, care, and the ability to focus on healing in the months and years ahead.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We are fervently praying for peace and strength over this family and trust that God will surround them with His comfort and supernatural peace.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you feel led to give, please know that any contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference for Libby and her children. If you are unable to donate, sharing this page and keeping this family in your prayers is deeply appreciated.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for helping us honor Alex’s legacy by caring for the family he loved so dearly.

</div>

Honoring Major Alex Klinner — Supporting Libby & Children

<div>In Loving Memory of Annalynn Bradshaw
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This morning 12/12/2025, Megon and Corey Bradshaw lost their 7-year-old daughter, Annalynn, in a tragic and heartbreaking passing. There are no words that can adequately describe the pain of losing a child, and no parent should ever have to face something like this.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This GoFundMe has been created to help ease some of the immediate financial burden during an unimaginable time. The goal is simple: to give Megon and Corey one less thing to worry about as they grieve and focus on their family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All donations will go directly to Megon Bradshaw and will be used to help cover funeral and related expenses, as well as provide support in the days ahead.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’re able to give, thank you. If you’re not, please consider sharing. Most importantly, please keep the Bradshaw family in your thoughts and prayers.
</div>

In Loving Memory of Annalynn Bradshaw

<div>Fellow RRATS, friends, family, and American Airlines brethren of Lt Col Thomas Brittingham,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As many of you know, Thomas has been struggling with medical issues since last fall. What began with not being able to run as fast or lift as heavy during workouts with friends, rapidly progressed into difficulty walking, standing, and most recently, eating and breathing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Through many visits with doctors, trips to the ER, and lots of research, Thomas and Jessi recently received his diagnosis – Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis – ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. ALS is classified as “very rare” with fewer than 20,000 cases per year in the United States. A progressive neurodegenerative disease, it breaks down nerve cells in the brain and spine, resulting in increasing muscle weakness and paralysis. The disease is incurable with little to no effective treatments. Average survival rates are anywhere from two to five years, with some living past diagnosis for 10 years or longer. We hope that Thomas will be in that 10+ year group, surrounded and supported by his military and civilian friends and family. To learn more, Thomas suggests that everyone watch the documentary “Gleason,” about Steven Gleason, New Orleans Saints’ safety who was diagnosed with ALS in 2011 at age 34. The film covers Steve’s diagnosis and 5 years thereafter; it is currently free on Amazon Prime.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thomas is a man who loves adventure and thrives on being a loving and devoted husband and father. He has already accomplished more in his life than many dream of. His integrity and selfless service to our nation serve as a constant inspiration to those around him. According to the ALS Association, military veterans are more likely to be diagnosed with the disease then the general public – for reasons yet unknown. Ironically, Thomas’ 17 years of service may be a factor in his diagnosis.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The past months have taken an emotional toll on Thomas, Jessi, and their boys Brennan (3 ½) and Parker, 1 ½). Throughout, many of you have reached out with a desire to help in some way. Until very recently, Thomas &amp; Jessi’s wish was to not release this information publicly. His very close friends and family – including some amazing individuals from the 336th Air Refueling Squadron and Fourth Air Force – have been providing as much help as welcomed in the form of meals, rides to medical appointments, and visits. Following a recent visit at the UC San Diego ALS clinic, Thomas let us know that his muscle weakness is continuing, and his breathing capacity is significantly reduced. Last week he had a feeding tube placed. Next steps include a military Medical Evaluations Board, an accessible van for transportation, and changes to their home to make it accessible to Thomas and allow him to tuck Brennan and Parker in every night.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thomas and Jessi are now comfortable sharing their journey and welcome your support. For now, the needs are simple – help with rides to appointments and help watching the boys. You can sign up for either of those, along with future requests here: <a href="https://alsa.lotsahelpinghands.com/request/team-thomas-1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://alsa.lotsahelpinghands.com/request/team-thomas-1" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://alsa.lotsahelpinghands.com/request/team-thomas-1</a></a>. Additionally, to assist with off-label treatment options, therapies, and durable medical equipment not covered by insurance, meal deliveries and groceries to make Jessi’s load lighter, as well as future unknown medical requirements, we have also set up a GoFundMe for the family. They will have direct access to these funds.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Finally, more than anything, we ask that you surround the Brittingham family with kindness, love, and support. We will continue to keep you all posted with news and progress. Thank you for being a part of the Brittingham family support network.

Join Thomas Brittingham's Fight Against ALS

<div>Hi, my name is Michael Burks and I am fundraising for the funeral costs, childcare, and financial support for the family of United States Air Force Veteran Daniel (Danny) Winkler.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For many people Danny was not just a friend, coworker, or someone you could always count on to bum you a smoke, but a light you could always count on to shine. So many of us have stories of him going out of his way to make sure we were taken care of and felt loved whether by genuinely listening to us, generously giving to us, or by ceaselessly providing hugs and care. He was the life of the party and the best listener. He was many amazing things, but most importantly he was also a father to little baby Nora and a dear lover to the beautiful Lauren Miller. They are not just losing a goofball dad and a tender companion, but a hard working provider and nurturer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>During this time we ask that you lean into that generosity and compassion he had for others and bless Lauren and baby Nora by helping donate to cover all funeral expenses, a year of childcare, and a little extra as a cushion for emergency as this young family loses not just a husband and father, but over half of their household income.
</div>

Danny’s funeral costs and Nora’s Childcare

<div>Mom passed away unexpectedly on November 2, 2021. She was so strong &amp; so loved by all.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>We thought this whole time she had made arrangements in advance, to take care of things when her time came, but have just discovered this is not the case.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Rollins Funeral Home in Kenova is working with us to provide her a basic cremation service, which was her wishes. They have offered to take care of everything, paperwork &amp; urn included, for around $1300.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Unfortunately, we don't have a lot of extra resources at the moment, and with two houses and Jack to take care of, I'm asking for any assistance we can get to help cover her cremation expenses.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>It's hard to ask for help, she was never good at it, and neither am I. But we need help.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Thank you for considering &amp; thank you all for you unconditional love and support through all of this.<br /><br />Edit: I have increased the goal simply because of anticipated needs in the coming weeks, with Jack, &amp; the two households that we are now responsible for.

Help us put Dukes to rest

Life is precious and changes fast. Beth VanWassenhove is a mom, a researcher,  and teacher in Cincinnati, Ohio. In May of 2020 Beth will graduate with an EdD in Educational Leadership from Northern Kentucky University.  But right now.. she's fighting for her life. <br /><br />Beth went to the doctor on a Thursday thinking she had the flu... but instead her primary physician ordered her to the E.R. immediately. Within hours she learned she had cancer. By Friday morning doctors confirmed her bone marrow was full of leukemia. On Valentine's day she was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. "AML" is a blood cancer, and once active is relentless in damage.  Within 48 hours of going to the doctor, she was on the 14th floor of Good Samaritan Hospital, and receiving her first dose of chemotherapy along with multiple blood transfusions. <br /><br />This new normal is a shock, and the reality is it will be a significant financial burden. Beth is a single Mom to 7 year old Henry. Beth's first stay at the hospital will be for one month, but could be longer depending on how her body responds to treatment.  After being released, she will need to return for chemotherapy once a month for 5 days at a time.. indefinitely.   At a time when every ounce of energy and focus should be on her battle, these unexpected expenses for her fight are the distraction and stress she does not need right now.  Your generosity, whatever it may be.. is  deeply appreciated.  <br /><br />She has the love and unwavering support of Team VW who remains VW strong, as well as that of her dissertation sisterhood and an army  of friends who support her, Henry and Henry's dad, Glenn. <br />As a side note, Beth lost her father to Multiple Myeloma cancer in 2017,  after a 5-year fight. She is no stranger to navigating a winding river of pain and hell. From that incredible loss comes gratitude for life, and living each day awake and in awe. Through her fight, Beth will celebrate victories every day no matter how small they may be.
