<div>Dear Family and Friends of Ariel O’Donell,
</div>
<div>With a heavy heart, I want to share an update about our beloved mermaid, Ariel. For the past 3.5 years, she has faced metastatic breast cancer with unwavering courage, grace, and an unbreakable spirit. Through it all, she has inspired us with her strength, her love, and her endless ability to bring light into the lives of those around her.
</div>
<div>After deep reflection and heartfelt conversations with her medical team and loved ones, Ariel has chosen to transition to hospice care. This decision is rooted in love—prioritizing peace, comfort, and the precious time she has with family and close friends.
</div>
<div>As we navigate this difficult time, our greatest wish is to surround Ariel with as much love and support as possible. A GoFundMe has been created to help alleviate the financial burdens of hospice care and future expenses, including funeral arrangements. If you are able to contribute, you can do so here: <a href="https://gofund.me/63fe6162" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Click Here For GoFundMe Link</a>. Any amount, no matter how small, will make a meaningful difference and allow Ariel and her family to focus on what matters most—cherishing every moment together.
</div>
<div>In lieu of flowers Ariel would appreciate a donation to metavivior as way to continue metastatic breast cancer research. <a href="https://donate.metavivor.org/give/318818/#!/donation/checkout" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Click here Donate to METAvivor</a>
</div>
<div>Beyond financial help, the power of love and encouragement cannot be overstated. If you would like to share a message, a memory, or simply let Ariel and her family know that you are holding them in your hearts, please do. Your words and support will be a source of strength and comfort in the days ahead. If you would like to send a note, message, or story please feel free to text or email Dobby and he will happily share them with Ariel.
</div>
<div>Thank you for being part of Ariel’s journey, for your kindness, and for showing up with love when it matters most. She has always been a beacon of joy and resilience, and now, it is our turn to lift her up with the same warmth and care she has given so freely to others.
</div>
<div>With love and gratitude,
</div>
<div>Dobby O’Donnell
</div>
<div>Venmo: @DobbyODonnell
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have been asked by the O'Donnell family to set up this GoFundMe on their behalf so they can focus entirely on Ariel during this incredibly difficult time. Our goal is to ease their financial burden, allowing them to spend precious moments together without added stress. All donations will go directly to the family to help with medical expenses, daily needs, and any unforeseen costs that may arise.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any support—whether through a donation or simply sharing this fundraiser—is deeply appreciated. Thank you for keeping the O'Donnell family in your thoughts and for your kindness during this time. -Casey Steiner

Ariel's Courageous Battle with Cancer

<div>My 13-year-old nephew, Liam, suffered a serious fall on January 31, 2025, and has been transferred to an intensive care ward in Sydney. He has severe brain, spine, pelvis, and limb injuries, and was in an induced coma for 13 days. Liam has now been transferred to the Children's ward in Sydney and is progressing well but has a long road to recovery ahead.
</div>
<div>This has devastated our family.
</div>
<div>Liam is a wonderful boy, and I am proud to call him my nephew. His strong character will help him fight to get better, but we need help. This donation page is to support Liam and ease the financial burden on his dad, my brother Michael.
</div>
<div>Michael is staying with Liam, but they don't live in Sydney, and the round trip back home is over 300 kilometres. The money will go to financial assistance during the recovery period for things like travel and accommodation expenses for Michael while Liam is in hospital in Sydney, we are unsure of how long this will be. Michael’s house will also need modifications so Liam can stay and be comfortable and safe. Then as things progress with Liam’s recovery he may need tutoring and home schooling to get Liam back to school and start a normal life again. He may also will need mobility assistance for a while due to the nature of his injuries.
</div>
<div>Michael has served in the Australian Army, Victoria Police, Federal Police, and United Nations Peacekeeping Forces. He is also an active advocate for suicide prevention. Michael has done enough for his country to warrant financial support during this difficult time so he can focus on Liam's recovery and rehabilitation.
</div>
<div>Liam’s recovery and rehabilitation will be long. With this in mind, I am asking if you could please donate any amount you can. We understand these are challenging financial times, and if you can't donate, a kind thought or prayer for Liam’s recovery would also be appreciated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Support for Liam's recovery and rehabilitation

<div>In August 2023, Diana Carolina Ayala Romero, a vibrant and determined 26-year-old, traveled to Melbourne, Australia, to pursue her dreams of learning and improving her language skills. However, in June 2024, Diana’s life took an unexpected turn when she began experiencing severe back pain and shortness of breath. She was admitted to the Royal Melbourne Hospital, where doctors discovered a large tumor—an aggressive synovial sarcoma—growing in her lungs. Despite this challenging diagnosis, Diana remains hopeful and is determined to fight back with the strength and positivity she has always shown.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Though unable to work during this time, Diana is not alone in this fight. We believe in the power of community and the love that surrounds her. Unfortunately, her insurance has only sent a letter claiming her condition is pre-existing, leaving her to face these expenses alone. But together, we can help lift her up, providing financial support so she can focus on what really matters: healing and regaining her health.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution, no matter how small, brings Diana one step closer to overcoming this challenge and embracing the bright future she came here to achieve. Let’s help Diana get through this difficult moment, so she can return to living the life she has worked so hard to build.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please donate if you can and share Diana’s story. With your support, she can rise above this and return to the dreams she set out to accomplish.
</div>

<div>En Agosto de 2023, Diana Carolina Ayala Romero, una joven vibrante y llena de determinación de 26 años, llegó a Melbourne, Australia, para perseguir sus sueños de aprender y mejorar sus habilidades lingüísticas. Sin embargo, en Junio de 2024, la vida de Diana tomó un giro inesperado cuando comenzó a experimentar fuertes dolores de espalda y dificultades para respirar. Fue ingresada en el Royal Melbourne Hospital, donde los médicos descubrieron un gran tumor: un sarcoma sinovial agresivo que crecía en sus pulmones. A pesar de este diagnóstico desafiante, Diana mantiene la esperanza y está decidida a luchar con la fuerza y el optimismo que siempre ha demostrado.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Aunque no puede trabajar en este momento, Diana no está sola en esta batalla. Creemos en el poder de la comunidad y el amor que la rodea. Desafortunadamente, su seguro solo ha enviado una carta alegando que su condición es preexistente, dejándola a cargo de estos gastos. Pero juntos, podemos ayudarla a salir adelante, brindándole el apoyo financiero que necesita para enfocarse en lo más importante: su recuperación y salud.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cada contribución, por pequeña que sea, acerca a Diana un paso más a superar este desafío y a recuperar el futuro brillante por el que vino a luchar. Ayudemos a Diana a atravesar este difícil momento para que pueda volver a vivir la vida que tanto ha trabajado por construir.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Por favor, dona si puedes y comparte la historia de Diana. Con tu apoyo, podrá superar esto y volver a los sueños que vino a cumplir.

Help Carolina Ayala And Embrace Life Again

<div>On February 15, 2024, Alejandro and I received news that would change our lives: I was 18 weeks pregnant. It was completely unexpected, as I had no symptoms, was on birth control, and had grade 3 endometriosis. However, we embraced the surprise with joy and hope, wishing for everything to go well.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At the end of March, our joy was overshadowed by complications. I started experiencing sporadic bleeding, which led to constant hospital visits. Each trip was an emotional roller coaster, filled with fear and uncertainty.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>April 10 was an especially difficult day. I had heavy bleeding, the first clear sign that something was wrong. We were terrified knowing that this could put both my life and the baby's at risk. After a thorough evaluation, the doctors advised us that, given the severity of the situation, it was crucial to be in a place where we could receive constant and specialized medical care.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We decided to return to Chile due to the high costs of a high-risk pregnancy and potential premature birth in Australia. Preparing for the trip was not easy. We quickly started organizing our belongings and making necessary arrangements, all while dealing with the constant worry about my health and the baby's.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On April 16, I was hospitalized due to intense bleeding. The doctors told us that it wasn't safe to fly unless I went more than 24 hours without bleeding. This news filled us with anxiety, as each day in the hospital was an emotional and financial challenge.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On April 17, we bought tickets to travel to Chile on April 25, hoping that my condition would improve soon. Miraculously, the bleeding stopped on April 20, and I was discharged on the afternoon of April 21. We felt a spark of hope, but that same night I had to go back to the emergency room because my water broke and I started bleeding again. On April 22, I was readmitted to the hospital, and this time the situation was more critical than ever.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Finally, after several attempts by the doctors to delay the birth, our little warrior, Agustín, came into the world on the morning of April 24, at 27 weeks gestation. It was an extremely premature birth and since then he has been fighting for his life in the intensive care unit at the Royal Women's Hospital. Every day is a battle, and every small progress is celebrated as a great victory.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The stress and anguish of being in the hospital daily have made it impossible to focus on studies and work. Our daily routine has drastically changed, and our priorities are now completely centered on Agustín's health and well-being. We live on a constant emotional roller coaster, with moments of hope and others of despair, as the financial burden is enormous, averaging $4000 AUD a day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The support of our families and friends has been crucial during these difficult times. They have helped us not only emotionally but also with daily tasks and medical paperwork. Without them, this experience would have been even more overwhelming.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, our student visa only allows part-time work, and our insurance doesn't cover us because we don't meet the seniority requirements, which has added an additional financial burden to an already difficult situation. Moreover, only Alejandro is working, making it even more challenging to cover all the expenses.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That's why we are reaching out to you, friends, family, and kind-hearted people, to help us cope with these medical costs and ensure that Agustín receives all the care he needs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The funds raised will be used to pay for a family insurance plan and a supplementary one that provides us with greater coverage, as well as the hospital and delivery bills. They will also help cover part of other expenses we have not been able to meet due to our low income at the moment (college's tuition, rent, etc.).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any help, no matter how small, will be immensely appreciated and will bring us one step closer to having our little warrior at home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
</div>

</div>
<div>El 15 de febrero de 2024, Alejandro y yo recibimos una noticia que nos cambiaría la vida: estaba embarazada de 18 semanas. Fue completamente inesperado, ya que no había tenido ningún síntoma, estaba en tratamiento anticonceptivo además de tener endometriosis grado 3. Sin embargo, abrazamos la sorpresa con alegría y esperanza, deseando que todo marchara bien.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A finales de marzo, nuestra alegría se vio empañada por complicaciones. Empecé a experimentar sangrados esporádicos, lo que nos llevó a constantes visitas al hospital. Cada ida y venida era una montaña rusa emocional, llena de miedo e incertidumbre.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>El 10 de abril fue un día especialmente difícil. Tuve un sangrado abundante, la primera señal clara de que algo malo estaba ocurriendo. Nos llenamos de terror al saber que esto podía poner en riesgo tanto mi vida como la del bebé. Después de una exhaustiva evaluación, los médicos nos aconsejaron que, dada la gravedad de la situación, era crucial estar en un lugar donde pudiéramos recibir atención médica constante y especializada.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Decidimos regresar a Chile debido a los altos costos de un embarazo de alto riesgo y un posible parto prematuro en Australia. No fue fácil preparar el viaje. Rápidamente empezamos a ordenar nuestras cosas y hacer los arreglos necesarios, todo mientras lidiábamos con la preocupación constante por mi salud y la del bebé.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>El 16 de abril, fui hospitalizada debido a una hemorragia intensa. Los médicos nos dijeron que no era seguro volar a menos que pasara más de 24 horas sin sangrado. Esta noticia nos llenó de ansiedad, ya que cada día en el hospital era un desafío emocional y financiero.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>El 17 de abril compramos boletos para viajar el 25 de abril a Chile, con la esperanza de que mi condición mejorara pronto. Milagrosamente, el 20 de abril el sangrado se detuvo y me dieron de alta el 21 de abril por la tarde. Sentimos una chispa de esperanza, pero esa misma noche tuve que acudir nuevamente a urgencias porque rompí bolsa y comencé a sangrar otra vez. El 22 de abril me volvieron a ingresar al hospital, y esta vez la situación estaba más crítica que nunca.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Finalmente, después de varios intentos de los doctores por retrasar el nacimiento, nuestro pequeño guerrero, Agustín, llegó al mundo el 24 de abril en la madrugada, a las 27 semanas de gestación. Fue un nacimiento prematuro extremo y desde entonces ha estado luchando por su vida en la unidad de cuidados intensivos del Royal Women's Hospital. Cada día es una batalla, y cada pequeño avance es celebrado como una gran victoria.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>El estrés y la angustia de estar diariamente en el hospital han hecho imposible concentrarnos en los estudios y el trabajo. Nuestra rutina diaria ha cambiado drásticamente, y nuestras prioridades ahora están completamente centradas en la salud y el bienestar de Agustín. Vivimos en una constante montaña rusa emocional, con momentos de esperanza y otros de desesperación, ya que la carga financiera es altísima, promediando los $4000 dólares diarios.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>El apoyo de nuestras familias y amigos ha sido fundamental en estos momentos difíciles. Nos han ayudado no solo emocionalmente, sino también con las tareas diarias y los trámites médicos. Sin ellos, esta experiencia habría sido aún más abrumadora.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Desafortunadamente, nuestra visa de estudiante solo permite trabajar tiempo parcial y nuestro seguro no nos cubre porque no cumplimos con la antigüedad, lo que ha añadido una carga financiera adicional a esta ya de por sí difícil situación. Además, solo Alejandro está trabajando, lo que hace aún más complicado cubrir todos los gastos.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Es por eso que recurrimos a ustedes, amigos, familiares y personas de buen corazón, para que nos ayuden a sobrellevar estos costos médicos y a asegurar que Agustín reciba toda la atención que necesita.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Los fondos reunidos serán utilizados para costear un seguro familiar y uno complementario que nos brinde mayor cobertura, además de las facturas de la hospitalización y parto. También se destinarán a cubrir parte de otros gastos que no hemos podido solventar debido a nuestros bajos ingresos en estos momentos (colegiaturas, renta, etc.).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cualquier ayuda, por pequeña que sea, será inmensamente apreciada y nos acercará un paso más a tener a nuestro pequeño guerrero en casa.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>¡Gracias de todo corazón!

Help Our Little Warrior Agustín

<div>Hola, esta es la historia de mi hermana Juliet. Ella es una joven mamá que sueña con reencontrarse con sus pequeños.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hace algo más de un año Juliet viajó a Europa desde Colombia dejando atrás a sus pequeños para buscar un futuro mejor, como cualquier otro migrante. Llegó sola, con pasaporte y maleta en mano. En su interior algunas mudas de ropa y un par de fotos. En el bolsillo unos ahorros para subsistir. Una enfermedad sobrevenida e incurable lo ha cambiado todo.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A sus 36 años, Juliet ocupa una cama hospitalaria en la Unidad de Cuidados Paliativos, a más de 7.000 kilómetros de sus pequeños. A pesar de que su diagnóstico no es favorable, su voluntad es infinita y lucha contra viento y marea para ganar la batalla al cáncer. Duerme junto a su Biblia a la que se aferra por momentos, porque la fe mueve montañas y la esperanza es lo último que se pierde. A su derecha una ventana por la que cada mañana brilla el sol. A sus pies un sofá improvisado por el personal de planta que ahora es mi casa. Por fortuna Juliet me tiene a mí. Yo soy su hermana menor y único familiar en España. Yo también tenía un sueño y luchaba por él. No dudé ni un momento en dejarlo todo para estar a su lado. A su izquierda la puerta del nuevo sueño.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nuestros sueños han cambiado. Un trabajo a jornada completa, una residencia temporal o un alquiler de larga estancia ya no son la prioridad. Juliet ahora tiene otro gran sueño: que sus pequeños crucen la puerta de su izquierda, poder abrazarlos, compartir momentos y llorar de alegría y no el vacío de su ausencia. Mi nuevo sueño es ver cumplir el suyo.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ya van dos largos meses desde la hospitalización de Juliet. Desde el primer día lucha contracorriente y, entre dolores y rescates de morfina, su gran sueño viene ganando a la metástasis. Es amor de madre.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>El camino para que el gran sueño de Juliet se cumpla no está resultando fácil. Se necesita un tesoro llamado tiempo y también una cantidad importante de dinero. A los trámites burocráticos se suman los gastos. La capacidad económica de la familia no alcanza para un desplazamiento inmediato de los niños. Ellos tienen 10 y 12 años y necesitan viajar acompañados de un adulto que será nuestra madre. Necesitamos recaudar una cantidad económica que nos permita comprar los billetes de avión, de ida y vuelta, desde Colombia a Fuerteventura, además de una reserva para cubrir parte de los gastos de estancia.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No hay dinero que pueda comprar una vida, pero si que ayude a cumplir un sueño.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>En nombre de toda la familia agradecemos enormemente tu donativo.
</div>

Ayudemos a Juliet a reencontrarse con sus pequeños
