<div>
 My name’s Addy, and I’m setting up this fundraiser to support my dad, Jonathan — or Jon, as most people know him — as he faces an incredibly difficult period of cancer treatment.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Anyone who knows Jon knows what a funny, kind, generous spirit he is - and how uncomfortable it is for him to accept help. We’ve both been blown away by the support and expressions of solidarity we’ve already received, which makes it difficult to ask for further help.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 My dad is a life long rock and roller. Music has been part of his life for as long as I can remember - Wherever we’ve lived, he’s always found his way into a local scene. He’s played music, supported bands, gone to shows, made lifelong friendships and contributed to the communities that have grown around music.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Dad has always understood involvement in a subculture as being part of a river, a lineage of subversive expression that at its best can be a lifeline for people. He’s passed this onto me so much so it’s definitive of my life.
</div>
<div>
 This is why I’m reluctantly making this GoFundMe - I believe that this community that he and I are both part of want to help just as much as we’ve wanted to give back over the years.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Jon has been diagnosed with advanced cancer, and his treatment has involved — and will continue to involve — significant hospitalisation, surgery, medical treatment and a long period of recovery. The physical toll has been enormous, and the practical and financial consequences of being seriously ill have also placed a huge strain on our family.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I am currently caring for my dad and coordinate what he needs as he goes through treatment. As his treatment continues, there are substantial costs associated with his care.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Funds raised through this campaign will help us manage the costs associated with Jon’s illness and recovery, including things like:
</div>
<ul>
 <li>medical and treatment-related expenses</li>
 <li>travel to and from hospitals and appointments</li>
 <li>medications and other necessary medical supplies</li>
 <li>mobility and comfort equipment</li>
 <li>household expenses while Jon is unable to work or live independently</li>
 <li>food and other day-to-day costs during extended periods of hospitalisation</li>
 <li>modifications and practical things that can make life easier and safer while he recovers</li>
 <li>other unexpected expenses that inevitably come with a prolonged and serious illness</li>
 <li>support for living expenses while both he and I are out of work</li>
</ul>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I know that we are in remarkably difficult times financially, and offering monetary support is not accessible for many. For those of you who have read this far and are unable to donate, thank you. Please consider sharing this page regardless, as there may be other people who see this who are able to help.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 We don’t take asking for funds lightly - we’re asking because this has become much bigger than something our family can comfortably manage alone. Every donation, no matter how large or small, will make a genuine difference to us.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Most importantly, thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you to everyone who has already supported Jon in any way — through messages, visits, music, practical help, hospital support, friendship or simply thinking of him. Especially his loving partner Regine, dear friend (and my mom) Alison, sister Jo and close friends Ad Batt and Rory.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 We're incredibly grateful.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Thank you for helping us look after my dad.
</div>

Johnny’s Cancer Support

<div>All was going well for our friend Cam (aka Gutterball Gary) as he took the summer off from the central Australian heat and travelled south to pursue rock shows, visits with mates and seasonal work in Tasmania.
</div>
<div>While cooking a meal for a friend, Cam had his first seizure. It came completely out of the blue with no other symptoms.
</div>
<div>Eleven days in hospital and one brain biopsy later he was diagnosed with grade 4 glioblastoma.
</div>
<div>Cam has started treatment for his cancer, including radiation therapy which he cannot receive in Alice Springs. This unexpected situation has dictated that Cam remain in Hobart, close to the hospital while he continues treatment and regular appointments with his oncologist. He has had amazing support from the healthcare system and friends in the area who are doing everything they can to help out.
</div>
<div>Cam has always given unconditionally as a friend. Always thinking of others and passing gifts along when he meets up with mates, sharing anything he has with those around him, putting in free labor help make art, music and gatherings as special and exciting as possible.
</div>
<div>We want to make sure that Cam doesn’t have to shoulder the burden of dwindling finances as he continues this fight.
</div>
<div>Please consider donating here directly or buying Honkytonk Disco merch, designed by Cam, along with some of his renowned Zines at one of our shows. All proceeds will be going to the best tour manager in the land, Gutterball Gary.
</div>

Help Lorelei pay for life changing treatment

<div>Hey friends!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our dear sweet Francesco had an accident this weekend and is currently recovering from his injuries. Because of this, he will be unable to work for a few weeks. This has been especially hard for him, as he is someone who genuinely hates asking for help and did not want to take time off until it became physically unavoidable.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Right now, working is out of the question due to his physical limitations, and unfortunately sick pay is unavailable to him. During this time, Tessa is also providing constant care while continuing to work full time. We’re raising €2,000 to help Francesco and Tessa get through these next few weeks of recovery and to help cover immediate mobility and recovery items he needs to get through this period safely and comfortably.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Francesco is a wonderful friend to so many of us and a deeply caring partner to Tessa. He has always been someone who shows up for others, and we are hoping to show up for him while he focuses on healing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any unused funds will be donated to charity as he and Tessa truly do not want to ask for anything more than what is absolutely necessary right now.
</div>

Support Francesco During His Recovery

<div>My name is Margaret Chardiet (aka Pharmakon). On November 5th, I had an unexpected, mandatory and serious surgery. Recovery time is estimated between 4-6 weeks. During this period, most of my time will be spent in bed because my mobility is very limited and my pain levels are high. I cannot lift objects, bend over, or stand for more than 5-10 minutes. At the moment, doing simple things like showering or walking around my apartment is difficult, slow, painful, and takes a lot of energy out of me. After this 4-6 week recovery period, I will be cleared to lift up to 10 pounds, and slowly work my way back to normal from there - but full recovery will take longer.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I am a touring musician, but also work a day job because (surprise!) noise does not pay the bills. Due to this unexpected surgery, I had to cancel my European tour, which was supposed to begin on November 11th. I am also unable to return to my day job, which is physically demanding. Furthermore, the tour cancellation resulted in a total of $1,500 of nonrecoverable upfront costs (plane tickets, etc) that depleted my bank account. So in addition to being unable to work and missing out on they money I would have made on tour, I am also in the hole for these costs.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This leaves me in a very bad and unstable financial situation. I do not have enough money for rent in my bank account. I have no new income upcoming to cover groceries, bills, or cabs to the hospital for post-op followup appointments. I have no savings. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>As you can imagine this is a deeply vulnerable position to be in, and those who know me personally understand that this Gofundme is the ultimate last resort. In short, I'm screwed. So I am turning to my wider community to ask for help. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Please consider donating whatever funds you're able to, and sharing this page with others. I sincerely appreciate your time, and your generosity. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>For transparency, here is a breakdown of the cost of living for one month, plus the irrecoverable tour costs, which explains why I am asking for this specific amount:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>*Rent = $1,300

</div>

<div>*Bills = $300

</div>

<div>*Groceries = $400 (100/wk)

</div>

<div>*Pharmacy + Household needs = $400 (100/wk)

</div>

<div>(prescriptions and OTC medicine, laundry detergent, cat food, etc)

</div>

<div>*Transportation = $100 (cab ride to and from doc appts)

</div>

<div>*Tour costs = $1,500

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Total Amount - $4,000

</div>

Help Margaret Chardiet Overcome Surgery Setbacks

<div>Hi! I’m Linsey, and I need your help to pay for the cost of British citizenship. As a disabled woman, I live a very difficult and costly life. But as a nonprofit worker supporting community youth work, I barely make enough money to survive, let alone enough money to save.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But if you’re still on the fence about why I might need your help, here’s the long-story:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In September 2014, I moved to the UK to marry my long-term partner - a British citizen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In order to be together, we worked, and we saved, and we gave everything we had to the UK government. Then we started all over again - spending much of the last decade trapped in a cycle of fees and looming visa dates.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In 2020, I finally achieve permanent status in the UK (indefinite leave to remain). But then, you know what happens next in 2020 - the pandemic hit and the world as we knew it changed. As it changed, the cost of everything climbed, and I had the unique misfortune of discovering that the pain in my joints, the reason my knees would give way without warning, the reason my ankles would roll, and my shoulders would pop, the reason my hands would suddenly stop working, was because I had Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>By the end of the year, I was suddenly a full time walking aid user. It was almost as if overnight, I transformed from a girl who would walk for hours across the city day after day, just thinking and wandering as I loved the feeling in my leg muscles from hours of walking - into someone that could barely walk at all. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Before long, I tore my ACL and meniscus, permanently changing the way I walked altogether, landing me in a wheelchair, and shifting my back and hips to an increasingly crooked position. It wasn’t just my legs that no longer worked as they once did. I could no longer sit upright for a full work day, I could no longer work full-time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Forced to cut my working hours, meant I was forced to take a cut in my pay as the UK slid into a Cost of Living Crisis, year after year.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And though I have continued to work as much as I am able, and often beyond my body’s limitations, I happen to work in the nonprofit sector. Though the nonprofit sector offers me a level of flexibility and support I would never be able to achieve in the private sector - it comes at a huge financial and emotional cost.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I love my job, and get to I do work that supports little girls in low-income areas across the country. I make a difference in other peoples lives, but because I have chosen a life path that values the lives of others before myself, I am unable to save, and am simply struggling just to survive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And that’s because being disabled comes with a HUGE price tag. As a disabled household, we have all the normal living costs other people do, and then on top of those costs, comes the added cost of disability - the cost of buying new knee braces every time the Velcro wears off from daily use, the cost of delivery groceries because you can’t leave your inaccessible house alone to go to the store, the cost of new mobility aids, the cost of delivery food because you can’t cook, the cost of Ubers/taxis because your back can’t handle the two-hour bus ride you have to take because London’s transport network is so inaccessible, the cost, the cost, the cost….
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On average, disabled households need an additional £1,010 a month to have the same standard of living as non-disabled households, even though we earn significantly less on average. 
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>My partner and I are both from hard-working working class families – I specifically come from a single-mother household, who received no manner of state support or child support.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>Despite rising challenges, I have worked as hard as possible to support vulnerable communities and individuals at risk across the UK and worldwide. but now, I needs your help to secure my situation in the country I’ve lived in for 10+ year.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>The funds will be used to:
</div>
<div>Cover the direct cost of citizenship: £1,630
</div>
<div>The cost of a new passport: £88.50
</div>
<div>Cover GoFundMe’s hidden fees (their tax, or whatever they’re calling it)
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>If I surpass my goal, I’ll use any additional funds to book a consultation with a private surgeon, as I have recently been denied ACL reconstruction on the NHS.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>THANK YOU ✨

FUZZBRAIN FOREVER - <br /><br />Two nights ago, one of Northeast London's most centrally important independently owned and operated recording studios burnt to the ground overnight, taking with it the past two years of loving and unending graft that went in to building this community institution. <br /><br />Ben Spence has been building his studio slowly for years. Interrupted first by being forced to leave he previous location in Fish Island, he found his current location and built the control room and live room by hand, sourced all of his incredible well thought out instrument, amplifier, effects, sound design, and outboard recording equipment through endless hours of thoughtful and unending graft, and built a world of support and access for young musicians, established bands, and burgeoning recording engineers to find their way. Fuzzbrain sent meaning and community in multiple directions of music and creativity in the area, and all over London.<br /><br />Ben is now faced with rebuilding his studio from scratch, and we're hoping you can help lift him back up the way he so selflessly did for us. This is an ambitious goal but also a chance to make sure music continues to have a home with someone who cares enough to build up not just a service but a platform for people to understand what it means to be cared for and to have the small comforts of creative freedom.

This private crowdfunding page is in support of a young musician and DJ from Palestine, who asked for her anonymity to be kept. <br /><br />She’s 23, originally from Gaza and currently based in Ramallah, Palestine.<br /><br />She is a long-term victim of domestic violence; abuse that she has reported to the local police multiple times, and who have continuously failed to help or keep her safe. <br /><br />The local police or law enforcement organisations give immunity to her abuser and believe his word over hers. She has also reached out to women's rights and human rights organisations who were unable to help her. <br /><br />Her mother and younger siblings are also subject to this abuse. Her greatest ambition is to become self-sufficient as a professional musician and multidisciplinary artist so that she can help her mother and siblings out of this very dangerous situation.<br /><br />She is desperate to leave her situation in Ramallah as she is not able to continue her studies there due to the mental and physical damage she is facing. <br /><br />The good news is she just got a place, as a transfer student, at the prestigious Bard College in Berlin to study Fine Arts for two years, starting Spring 2020.<br /><br />However, she just received the news that her university can only cover about 75% of the tuition, and can not cover her living expenses. By the time she was informed about this, it was already too late to apply for other funds in order to enrol in this coming semester starting January 23rd; she will apply to fund the semesters after this.<br /><br />The remaining 25% of the tuition is 2,723€ for the semester, and living expenses are budgeted at 6,000€ per semester, so a few months of your support to get her feet on the ground would be very helpful. <br /><br />She is hoping to work part time as soon as possible and would eventually be able to support herself. She is looking to raise a minimum of 7,000€ in order to accept her place with a sense of security. <br /><br />Lastly, please do not share this on social media. If you think of friends who may feel empathetic and want to donate, feel free to share privately, making it clear we must keep this fundraiser private for the sake of our friends safety.<br /><br />We - Hiro Kone, Luz Diaz (Room 4 Resistance) and Anaïs Brémond (Palestine Underground documentary producer) - are appealing to you, friends and members of our respective communities, to donate if you can to support her at this crucial stage of her life.<br /><br />Everything from 5€ will help her escape a really unhealthy and dangerous situation and help her build her future in a safe environment.

Help a musician flee her abusive home to study

One of our very close friends is threatened with deportation and has very little time to find alternatives. <br /><br />We want to get together £2,000 to pay for a lawyer to find her Italian Grandparents birth certificates.<br /><br />She's an incredibly kind and generous person, does a lot for so many people and makes dismal London brighter for everyone who knows her.  She is a valued member of the DIY community, plays in bands, puts on shows and helps raise money for many organisations including most recently the Puerto Rican relief fund.<br /><br />She's working as many jobs as possible but as many of us know it's hard enough to get by in London and it's still going to take too long for her to raise the money by herself.<br /><br />Immigration legislation doesn't care about taking people away from their loved ones and the lives they have built. She has made her life here, please help us give her a chance at staying.<br /><br />We understand that these are extremely difficult times to live in but anything you can afford to give would be very appreciated. Even if 200 people gave £10  we would reach our goal.<br /><br />If you have any questions about any of this, or want to know more please don't hesitate to contact us.<br /><br />Isabel &amp; Lorrie<br />xxx<br /><br />**We’ve had to amend the £2000 goal to £2200 to include gofundme’s  fees. ** <br /><br />We’ll be collecting donations from people at shows. Thank you!
