<div>Dear family and friends,

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With broken hearts, we share that our precious niece, Harbor, unexpectedly passed away after a week long fight in the ICU. She was deeply loved, and always will be. She would have been 3 years old this March, and most likely in one of her favorite princess dresses twirling around. With big blue eyes, adorable curls &amp; a cute smile she was so full of life and fearless. She loved swimming, nature, and most of all her mom, dad and older sister June. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This has been an incredibly difficult and emotional time for the entire family, and the financial burden is significant. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you feel moved to help, contributions can be sent through Zelle ( this information will be on my page) or Go Fund Me. If not, sharing this or holding us in your thoughts is more than enough. We are so grateful for every prayer, message, and act of kindness. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers ❤️ heaven gained a precious angel January 3rd 2026.

Honoring Harbor Lichter Hallstrom's Bright Spirit

<div>Hi everyone, as you may know I’m down in Mexico where the plight of street dogs is dire. We found a lovely pooch who is in need of medical care who can then become a loving companion in the states. He’s an adorable, sweet, calm and friendly doggies but he’s been living on the streets and has some tick born illnesses and a hernia. Luckily the cost down here isn’t Terrible for his care and surgery but we need your help to get him treated and transported for adoption. 

</div>

<div>Juanito is a 5-6 year old small pup - chow-chow, corgi, terrier, mix (guesstimate). We’ve gotten his mats taken care of as he’s been groomed and he needs a 30 day does of medication before he can get surgery. All of this is treatable!! And then he can become an amazing companion. Anything you can give will help get him well! 

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>➡️➡️➡️Update - surgery may need to be emergency this weekend if he can no longer go to the bathroom.

<div>Hello, friends.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On the night of May 16th, an arsonist targeted Anchor Pantry in downtown Vallejo, and the store is a total loss -- and it's a huge loss for Vallejo. Since opening a little over a year ago, Jessica and Frank have been invaluable members of our downtown community, bringing good food and good will to our town. To lose them is unthinkable.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Though they have insurance, it will take a while to get them back on their feet and into a new space, and they will need help with their day-to-day expenses, as this is their livelihood -- The Go-Fund-Me will help to tide them over. Any little bit helps!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please help our friends at Anchor rebuild their shop and their dream. Thank you!

Help Jessica and Frank Rebuild Anchor Pantry

<strong>Please see our new campaign for more information here: <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/forthe49" target="_blank"><a href="https://www.gofundme.com/forthe49" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.gofundme.com/forthe49</a></a> </strong><br /><br />In the aftermath of the massacre at Pulse, Equality Florida made two promises.<br /><br />First, we would do everything we could to help the families of those killed and the survivors dealing with the physical and emotional pain of being targeted in the worst anti-LGBTQ hate crime in U.S. history.<br /><br />You helped us keep the first promise by contributing, online and in person, more than $9M.<br /><br />And we have kept our word that every penny we collected - even the interest that accrued on the funds - is going to the victims of Pulse. No staff or overhead. We’ve donated all of our time.<br /><br />On September 27th, those funds will be disbursed and now our attention must focus entirely on fulfilling the second promise - to honor the dead with action.<br /><br />Thoughts and prayers and symbols are not enough.<br /><br />We are committed to ensuring the lasting memorial is the real change of uprooting anti-LGBTQ hatred at the source.<br /><br />To keep this promise, we need you with us again.<br /><br />Our mission for the last 19 years has been to uproot bigotry and fight for equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in Florida. Indeed, we fight for freedom for all Floridians to live without fear of violence, harm to their family, being fired from a job or refused service because of their sexual orientation and gender identity.<br /><br />The massacre at Pulse has made this vision a priority for millions more people in the state of Florida. We have never been closer to a huge breakthrough in LGBTQ protections in a state that will have ripple effects nationally.<br /><br />It is time for us to demand huge strides, not tiny measures, in changing the culture and the laws in Florida to ensure we stop the discrimination and violence that anti-LGBTQ hatred makes inevitable.<br /><br />We are asking you now to join us in achieving two goals that are ambitious but achievable if we have the courage to stand together.<br /><br /><strong>Banning anti-LGBTQ discrimination in Florida and passing gun violence prevention policies in the third most populous state in the country.</strong><br /><br />Florida has a long and hateful history when it comes to the treatment of LGBTQ people and has been the springboard for national anti-gay campaigns from Anita Bryant to the Liberty Counsel. Florida-based groups have not only done harm here, they’ve exported their prejudice to states around the nation and other countries as well.<br /><br />But the tide has turned in our favor as hearts have softened and minds have opened in the wake of Pulse. Shame on us if we let this moment pass without pushing with all our might for the state to treat us all as equals under the law and to end easy access to weapons of mass slaughter.<br /><br />We are so very grateful to have found the resources to help these people and their families get services, make up for lost wages, heal wounds and begin to put their lives back together.<br /><br />Will you stand with us again and fulfill the promise of real change as the lasting memorial #ForThe49?<br /><br />Inspired by our work in the aftermath of Pulse, an anonymous donor will match the first $100,000 raised for this campaign. That means the gift you give today will be doubled!<br /><br /><strong>Please see our new campaign for more information here: </strong><a href="https://www.gofundme.com/forthe49"><strong><a href="https://www.gofundme.com/forthe49" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.gofundme.com/forthe49</a></strong><br /><br /></a>_______________________________________<br /><br />This is the official Pulse Victims Fund page for Equality Florida, the state's lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) civil rights organization. <strong>Equality Florida is collecting contributions via this GoFundMe page to support every single victim of the horrific shooting at Orlando's Pulse Nightclub. This includes victims’ families, survivors, and those in the club who may not have suffered physical injury but in need of support.  </strong><br /><br /><strong>For information regarding how funds will be disbursed directly to the victims' families and survivors, please refer to below links: </strong><br /><strong>English: <a href="http://www.eqfl.org/transparent" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.eqfl.org/transparent</a></strong><br /><strong>Espanol: <a href="http://www.eqfl.org/Transparencia" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.eqfl.org/Transparencia</a></strong><br /><br />Equality Florida, the GLBT Community Center of Central Florida (The Center) and the National Compassion Fund announced a partnership with OneOrlando to ensure all funds collected for victims are disbursed in a unified process that will expedite funds, ensure transparency and safeguard against fraud.<br /><br />We have made available emergency deployment of short-term disbursements from our fundraising efforts, and connected victims with the immediate funds available via state and federal resources.

Support Victims of Pulse Shooting

Fourteen years ago I was young and healthy with a pregnant wife and attending beauty school to provide a more substantial income for our growing family. I had a cyst in my armpit that was infected and my doctor recommended removing it. Unfortunately, she cut too deep and also cut the nerve that was just below the cyst. I felt a strong electric shock down my arm, but did not realize that at that moment my life had changed forever.  Intense pain ensued that would not go away, and after many doctor’s visits, I was diagnosed with CRPS, a chronic nerve condition whose symptoms are an intensely painful,  continuously burning sensation. <br /><br />I have suffered for the last fourteen years trying to maintain any "quality" of life outside of this pain that fills my body every minute of every day. It has turned my life into incurable agony! Some days it is so bad that I lay in bed all day in tears. My wonderful 14 year old son, Zack has never known me—the true me—for I have had this chronic painful condition his entire life. It broke my heart many years ago when the number one item on his letter to Santa read “For Dad’s arm to be better"…  I would love nothing more than to be able to throw him a baseball, take him fishing, wrestle with him, volunteer as a team Dad, classroom parent, or even just go for a hike.  Unfortunately with this acute pain, these simple activities are just not possible. <br /><br />Immediately following the accident we tried to settle in mediation with the doctor, but she denied any wrongdoing. Unfortunately, with this disease there is not a test to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that I have this condition.  The doctor had deeper pockets in order to fight a protracted legal battle.  We got scared, so she ultimately wore us down and my lawyer suggested we give up, so we did. I continued working for seven years after the accident, but I got to the point where I couldn’t even hold a hair dryer, so I had to quit.  Since then I have been unable to work at all, with the exception of some paintings that I create for the company my wife Katie works for.   <br /><br />I have spent more than a decade trying every treatment that is out there. I have tried pain killers, mirror therapy, heat therapy, electric stimulation, infrared, nerve blocks, trigger point injections and even been to Stanford in search of any new treatments they are currently researching. None of these treatments have worked, and in fact, my CRPS just keeps getting worse each year.  It has spread from my arm down to my legs, and I now walk with a limp, and have to use a cane every day. All we have to show for these treatments is a huge pile of medical bills, which have decimated our life savings. <br /><br />Recently I have heard of a treatment that has been around for a few years and has had extremely good outcomes for patients with CRPS. It involves using Ketamine (an anesthetic and pain killer) in a drip to induce a trance like state that can reset the nervous system (like rebooting a computer) and end the pain of CRPS. I have talked to numerous friends who have had the treatment and it has worked extremely well for them. My wife, Katie, and I have also done a huge amount of research, and we are very hopeful that this will work for me. We have found a clinic that has administered this treatment to many CRPS patients, and they have accepted me for treatments starting December 7. The treatment would be done just before Christmas, which would mean that I might have my first Christmas without excruciating pain in 14 years!  Needless to say, that would be the absolute best gift in the world for the Shillinglaw family. <br /><br />We are extremely proud people and have never asked for help all of these years, but we need your help now!  This treatment is not covered by health insurance, and will cost $20,000. We would be most thankful for any amount you can give – big or small!  It all adds up, and every gift means so much to us. <br /><br />Please click the GIVE button and give as much as you can.  Also, please share this with your friends, via email, Facebook or other social media – there is power in numbers!<br /><br />My dream is to be pain free so that I can get back to work and support my beautiful family, who have been so amazingly supportive of me during this very, very difficult time. <br /><br />Thank you in advance for supporting our family in our time of need, and for listening to my story.  <br /><br />

Sam Shillinglaws Pain Treatment

Here we go again...another dear friend is very ill and he needs your help.<br /><br />I was just notified this morning that Craig has Stage IV colon cancer with a large mass blocking his colon. As you can imagine he very ill and is fighting for his life.<br /><br />He is receiving charity medical care to combat this illness but as you can imagine he is unable to work and needs to be able to buy food, pay rent.....we know the deal in this country. You better have friends 'cause this country has no compassion for the "have nots".<br /><br />Many of you know Craig from back in the day. Many of you know Craig from N'awlins. But one thing I believe we have in common is that we love this guy. No one is sweeter then Craig.<br /><br />Please help in any way you can. Whatever you can afford will help to contribute to this man's peace of mind whilst he fights for his life.<br /><br />Thank you.

English Craig is Very Ill

Our beloved neighbor, Roy Lee, was shot and killed in front of his house on May 15th while being robbed.  Roy was a devoted husband to Pam Mason, his partner of 20 years; and a committed father to both his daughters, Paige and Porche, and his stepson, Patrick.   Often seen working on his car and listening to music in front of their home, he was always friendly and welcoming to his neighbors. He was a good man and worked hard to support his family.   Without his income, his family is left in a difficult financial position. We are hoping to help pay for funeral expenses as well as some basic living costs while Pam deals with this great loss.  Please help in whatever way you can.  Every little bit helps.
