<div>Hi my name is Sonya Jolley, my big baby Buddy Jolley needed life saving surgery yesterday 13/05. On the Tuesday night, I noticed that Buddy was lethargic, and had done a couple of vomits. He is a Labrador, and for a lab to not want a treat or anything to eat, you know you have an issue. I called our Vet first thing yesterday morning, and they were able to get him seen at 9am. Once the vet had a look at him, he said that Buddy had to stay, because he neeed an urgent ultrasound. He had a distended tummy, and his gums and inner eyes were very pale. He believed that Buddy was bleeding internally. 
</div>
<div>Buddy was booked for his ultrasound at 1230pm, the vet called me at 115pm and said Buddy needed life saving surgery. He had a 10cm tumour in his spleen. So the spleen had to be removed. After an agonising 2.5 hour wait, we got the news that Buddy had come through the surgery. He wasn’t out of the woods yet. But, he was on his way. Approximately an hour later, I received another call from the vet saying Buddy had crashed, and was being rushed back to surgery. In what seemed a lifetime, I finally got the call that Buddy had again pulled through. So after 2 blood transfusions, 2 surgeries, Buddy my big beautiful lab made it. 
</div>
<div>after losing 2 of our beautiful labs at Xmas time, one to cancer and one to old age, we couldn’t even fathom the harsh reality and pain of losing Buddy. Buddy turns 10 to, and to have him home for his birthday, I can’t express what that means to us. 
</div>
<div>so if you can please find it in your heart to help, we would be eternally grateful. If you can’t, sharing this go fund me would be greatly appreciated. 
</div>
<div>I know things are tough atm, and we sincerely appreciate everything anyone can offer. 
</div>
<div>I will have a good day now that I know my boy is safe and possibly coming home today. 
</div>
<div>Tank you for reading our story, and helping my beautiful boy.

<div>Help Our Beautiful Friend Make Precious Memories with Her Family
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is one of the hardest things I have  ever had to write  our beautiful, kind, and selfless friend Stacey is facing the unimaginable. She has been diagnosed with a devastating, life-limiting form of cancer — and while her fight is strong, the road ahead is painful, uncertain, and emotionally taxing. 
</div>
<div>Stacey is more than just a friend. She’s the one who’s always been there — the first to offer help, to volunteer at BMX so all the kids can ride, the first to offer an ear if you need a whinge.
</div>
<div>Stacey is the kind of person you’re lucky to meet even once in your lifetime. She’s the friend who shows up no matter what, who listens with her whole heart, who makes you laugh when you’re down, and who gives more than she ever takes. Her kindness, strength, and loyalty have touched so many — and now, she needs us more than ever.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Stacey is a devoted wife to Luke and an incredible mother to Logan and Brandon -  her beautiful children. Her love for her family is boundless. What she wants most right now is simple — time. Time to make unforgettable memories with her husband and children. Time to laugh, to rest, to enjoy the little moments that make life magical.
</div>
<div>Stacey is one strong woman but this diagnosis has rocked them to the core!  This fundraiser is about easing the burden — the financial weight of treatment, the cost of living, the extra support they need day to day. But more than that, it’s about giving Stacey, Luke and the boys,  the chance to step away from the stress and focus on living. Whether it's a special family trip, a weekend vacay, or simply a day without worry, every donation helps make those memories possible.
</div>
<div>We know times are tough for many, but if you’ve ever crossed paths with Stacey you know how deserving she is of love and support. And if you haven’t met her — know that you’re helping someone whose heart is full of kindness, and strength! 
</div>
<div>Please consider donating whatever you can. And even if you’re not able to give, you can still help by sharing this page.
</div>
<div>Let’s rally together to give the Willy’s moments that will last a lifetime. This isn’t just about survival it’s about living while there’s still time to truly live.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Forever grateful our paths crossed x
</div>
<div>Love always V

Snags for Stace needs a bit more than snags

<div>Hi my name is Sue and I am helping Cherrie to manage while she supports Sam through his recovery. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Many of you will know Cherrie Vitali our bright bubbly selfless friend who would do any thing for anyone even to the extent of going without herself to make sure someone else doesn’t.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Due to a tragic accident in the early hour's of august 20th,  Cherries son, Sam was hit by a taxi, resulting in a traumatic head injury.  Sam has spent 3weeks in ICU and now is on  the ward with Cherrie with him every step of the way 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> Sam is facing a long road to recovery that is likely to see him transferred
</div>
<div>to Brisbanes Brain Injury Rehabilitation unit.  Cherrie is hoping to be able to remain by Sam’s side for this phase too
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cherrie hasn’t left Sam’s side for long periods and is unable to attend work as a nurse at Townsville Mater Hospital and returning to work will depend on Sam’s rehabilitation  
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> I am hoping that the people can spare some money to help alleviate financial concerns and allow Cherrie to continue to be by her Sams side 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much on behalf of Cherrie and Sam 
</div>
<div><br />

Help Kristina Townsend and her young family

Could you imagine losing everything you own? All your furniture, electrical items, clothes, photos, sentimental jewellery - everything!<br />No longer having a place to sleep?<br /><br />Imagine that the only belongings you had were those that fit in the garbage bag you filled before you had to be evacuated by boat from your house.<br /><br />This is exactly what happened to my Grandma, Aunty, Uncle and Children in Townsville, Qld, Australia.<br /><br />Without any prior warning they woke up to water lapping at their front door. They were some of the first people affected by the floods and needing evacuation.<br /><br />My grandma is in her eighties and only lost her husband of 50+ plus years 4 short years ago. She is now tasked with the job of restarting her life again. A new place to live, new car(was not covered for flood) and replacing everything she once owned.<br /><br />My Aunty, Uncle and children are also in in need with them finding out they were not covered with insurance on their unit the morning of the flood. They now have to try replace everything as well as rebuild their unit. <br /><br />It's indescribable the stress and emotional strain that come with this so we have started this page to try ease the financial burden. <br /><br />This money will immediately go towards temporary accomodation costs for all 5 family members affected and clothing and footwear. Also helping my grandma find a new permanent place to live and taxi vouchers to get to medical appointments and grocery shopping until a car can be sourced and purchased.  <br /><br />Once the floodwaters have receded this money will be used for the clean up and repairs to the unit and a car for our grandma.<br /><br />Your support is very much appreciated and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your donation no matter how small. It all helps immensely in this heartbreaking and devastating situation.<br /><br /><br />NB: In the event we have excess funds to our requirements we will forward these on in the way of a donation to any other families in need that were affected by these floods.<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/36800072_1549261143406987_r.jpeg" alt="36800072_1549261143406987_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" />

Help Townsville Flood Affected Family

<p dir="ltr">Gabby's tough journey started when she was only 6 weeks old. Her initial diagnosis wasn't a shock nor did we feel it would hold a bleak and overwhleming future. We have battled through and continued to do everything we can to help her. Our latest mission is our biggest and possibly the most daunting one.</p>
<p dir="ltr">People often dream about buying or building their first home to start fresh, have security, their own place to belong and we are no different except a few not so minor details. We dream of a home where our beautiful Gabby can run around barefoot, feeling safe, being comfortable and knowing that the one place she can truley feel secure and happy isn't trying to harm her.</p>
<p dir="ltr">We need to build a custom home for Gabby, one with special hardwood floors, special no VOC paints (they don't emit chemicals that cause reactions to her sensitive body), An Air-filtration system, ducted Vacuum system and special built-in draws to reduce the risk of dustmites living in her clothes. Gabby is nearly 4 now and she doesn't have the choice to attend school, do sports or group activities with other children her age. It breaks our hearts but we do our best to maintain a positive attitude because for Gabby, this life is 'NORMAL'. Falling short of putting her in a bubble for her entire life (which has actually been recommended), we NEED a safe haven for her. These things that might seem like unnecessary luxeries to some are not only life changing for us but also potentially life saving for Gabby.</p>
<p dir="ltr">We have started this GoFundMe account in the hopes that we can finally provide this for her. We need a deposit to be able to obtain this custom built home for Gabby and we simply can't do it without help.</p>
<p dir="ltr">We are hoping to raise $25,000 to make this dream a reality. This would not only change our lives, it has the potential to give Gabby's little body a break and a chance to heal.</p>
<p dir="ltr">We manage her medical expenses and special (and expensive) food costs well but that means we have no wriggle room for any type of savings to be able to do this alone. We can't put into words what it would mean for us to have this dream become a reality, because there simply is none that would convey the appreciation and complete gratitude we would feel.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Thank you for taking the time to watch our video and read some of our story. If you are unable to donate we please ask that you take 5 minutes to educate yourself about living with life threatening allergies and eczema because doing so could change someones life.<br /><br />#safehomeforgabby</p>
