<div>Hello everyone,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm trying to raise funds to avoid being evicted from my home. I take care of my mother who is unable to work due to a stroke and was barely managing to live paycheck to paycheck after hour home burned down and we lost everything. I'm working as hard as I can to get us back on our feet, but recent financial setbacks have resulted in my inability to pay rent and utilities. If my mom and i get evicted (as is imminent) we will be homeless as there is nowhere else we can go.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The funds will be used to catch up on rent.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your help and kindness woulg be a much needed blessing.

Support a Family Facing Homelessness

<div>The Thomas family is facing one of the hardest things imaginable: the loss of 19-year-old Caitlin to medical complications from Aicardi Syndrome.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Caitlin has been hospitalized for more than a month. One or both of her parents, Michael and Lynne, have been with her the entire time. But medical tests have now confirmed there was nothing the doctors could do to resolve Caitlin’s recent complications. On October 7, Michael announced that they are in the end phase of Caitlin’s life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lynne and Michael are devastated, as are all of us who know them and Caitlin.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve spoken a bit with Michael. It sounds like the medical costs of Caitlin’s treatment are covered. End-of-life costs are another matter.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The goal of this fundraiser is to cover those end-of-life expenses, and to hopefully provide a financial cushion to allow the Thomases to spend their remaining time with Caitlin – and when the time comes, to grieve – without also having to worry about money. All donations will go directly to Michael and Lynne (with the exception of GoFundMe’s processing fee).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lynne, Michael, and Caitlin are well known and loved in science fiction and fantasy circles. Lynne and Michael are co-editors of the award-winning Uncanny Magazine. Caitlin is a familiar presence at SF/F conventions. Their family has touched countless lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your support.

Lynne and Michael Thomas

This campaign is an effort to fund my senior recital &amp; complete my undergraduate degree in music composition from  Cal State University, Northridge (CSUN). <br /><br />I'll be producing a concert of my original works this coming fall--most likely early november. (I'll definitely share the date here as soon as I nail it down.) The program will be a minimum of 45 minutes of music that I've composed since I left Los Angeles City College &amp; began my studies at CSUN. <br /><br />I'm very pleased to be collaborating with the amazingly talented, LA-based ensemble Brightwork New Music (checkout their website here: brightworknewmusic.com). They're a fantastic group of world class musicians, &amp; itb truly is an honor to be working with them on this project. The funds I aim to collect here will go towards the production of my recital: compensation for the players for their time in preparation, both individually &amp; as an ensemble, as well as for the performance itself; use of facilities &amp; equipment rental for rehearsal &amp; the concert, which will include a high quality recording &amp; sound engineer. I also know I can expect the unexpected when it comes to random production expenses. The more I raise here, the more time &amp; resources that both I &amp; the ensemble can invest into making this performance &amp; recording a true representation of my musical output over the past few years. <br /><br />I've been studying music composition for a good while now &amp; it's finally time to wrap up my undergraduate studies. I've had the good fortune to work with some great teachers both at CSUN &amp; at Los Angeles City College, where I first began my musical studies. This is kind of the most exciting part... the culmination of it all... an entire program of music that I dreamed up... I'm jazzed!! I've made some real progress &amp; I look forward to sharing this music with you all.
