Hi, I’m FRANCIS MCCULLOUGH, and I'm reaching out to you to support the Fisher Center for Alzheimer's Research Foundation. Their mission is vital: to understand the causes of Alzheimer’s disease, improve the care of those living with it, and ultimately find a cure. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of millions affected by this condition. Your contributions will directly support their groundbreaking efforts in research and care. Here are just two ways your donations will help: Funding innovative research to uncover the causes of Alzheimer’s disease. Enhancing care programs for individuals and families impacted by Alzheimer’s. Join me in this important cause—every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to a world without Alzheimer’s. Thank you for your support!

We are Frankie, Alex, Everly, and our puppy Paco, full-time YouTubers over the last 7 years. Well, 3 days ago, our email connected to the channel was hijacked. The hackers stole our YouTube channel and changed all of our 2-stage authentication into their own in seconds. We are in the process of trying to regain access to the email to regain control over the channel and many other resources they stole from us. This means we lost our business and income overnight. I was wishing this was just a bad dream; unfortunately, it's not a bad dream, it's real life. The last 2 months, we've raised over $2000 for 2 non-profits on this platform. I never thought we would need this kind of help, but the day has come. Thank you in advance if you are so kind to donate to us so we can keep up with our monthly expenses while we figure out the next steps. We will keep you updated, and if we regain access, we will notify you all. The channel was FnA Life on YouTube. I have a secondary channel called Frankie n Alex if you want to see what it is like daily during this situation.

This is Paco — our best pal and a beloved member of our family. We adopted him in 2020 in Oregon, and while we thought we were rescuing him, it turns out he actually saved us. We were preparing to drive through the Samuel H. Boardman Corridor — a breathtaking but treacherous stretch of cliffside road with steep grades — when we received an email in an area with no cell service. That email led us to the South Coast Humane Society in Brookings, Oregon, where we decided to stop and meet a dog named Samuel instead of continuing on. Samuel was shy and easily frightened, especially around men, so he was hesitant to warm up to me at first. But the moment we took him for a walk, we knew he was going to be part of our family. We brought him back to our van — our home on wheels at the time — and he seemed nervous, so we decided to take him to the beach to let him stretch his legs and get comfortable with us. On the way there, we noticed our brakes beginning to fail. A pinhole leak had formed in the brake line. Had we continued into the Boardman Corridor instead of turning back for Paco, we would have experienced complete brake failure on one of the most dangerous roads on the Oregon coast — an outcome too frightening to imagine. Paco saved our lives the day we brought him home. That's why we feel so deeply called to give back to the place that made our family whole. Today, Paco — long since renamed — is a big brother to our two-year-old and a completely different dog than the timid, frightened pup we met that day. He just needed a loving home, and we're so grateful he found his way into ours. If you can find it in your heart to donate even just one dollar to support the incredible people at South Coast Humane Society, it would mean the world to us — and to them. Thank you so much for your kindness.
