<div>On September 5th, 2024, we welcomed our beautiful Stevie Wren Sisk into the world. Shortly after she was born, she was airlifted to Children’s Hospital in Colorado Springs due to a multitude of different complications. Stevie was diagnosed with a rare metabolic disorder, and only given less than a year to live. After her 3 month stay in the NICU, we took our girl home for an incredible 19 months.
</div>
<div>Stevie then developed Septic Shock when she was 19 months old, and had to be airlifted to Children’s Hospital in Denver. She fought there for two weeks and was transferred back to Children’s in Colorado Springs.
</div>
<div>On the evening of May 9th, Stevie’s heart decide it was done working so hard and she took her last breath in my arms.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our goal is to keep our Stevie’s legacy alive. We would love to create some sort of memorial or program in Stevie’s honor for other parents who were gifted and are navigating a medically complex child, spending weeks, even months in the hospital.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you would like to contribute to Stevie’s legacy we would love to have your support. Thank you all so much.
</div>

Honoring Stevie Wren's Legacy

<div>My name is Sara Espinoza, and I created this GoFundMe with the permission of Eric Manion.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today we are grieving the sudden and tragic loss of Amanda Manion, a beloved mother, sister, daughter, and friend to many. This heartbreaking situation has left her children facing unimaginable loss and uncertainty.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are coming together to support Amanda’s children during this time, helping to provide for their immediate needs, stability, and care in the days and months ahead.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any contribution, no matter the size, will go directly toward supporting the children as they navigate this devastating chapter. If you are unable to give, please consider sharing this fundraiser and keeping the family in your thoughts and prayers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>editing to add: GoFundMe has asked that I update the “story” section to reflect a few things for greater transparency. Mandy is my husband’s cousin. Eric, Mandy’s brother is also my husband’s cousin and we offered to set up the fundraiser as he and his wife are helping the children to manage the logistics of virtually everything else. Eric and his wife are speaking with victims’ representatives to determine how to best protect the money for the children and *all* of this money will be going directly to them via a secured method (like a trust) once they determine what that is. We would like to assure you that my husband and I will not be the beneficiaries for this GoFundMe and that GoFundMe has requested further verification to ensure we are not taking advantage of the situation (which is truly amazing of them!). My husband loved Mandy dearly and he and Eric were like a second set of siblings to him growing up. The loss is unimaginable for their entire family and this is the biggest way we could think of to help from afar. Thank you to everybody who has donated, shared and prayed for them.
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>thank you to everyone who has donated, all of the money will be going solely to support the children and nothing will be used for funeral costs or expenses related to the funeral.</strong>
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>GoFundMe has asked to post for transparency: the funds have now been approved to be released to the children’s legally appointed guardian, Elena and she will be distributing the funds between Mandy’s surviving children. Thank you all again so much for all your support.

<div>Help Jade &amp; Cody Rebuild After Devastating House Fire

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Last night, my sister-in-law Jade, her husband Cody, and their sweet little one, Oaklee, experienced a heartbreaking tragedy— their home was severely damaged by a fire caused by a faulty fridge. In just moments, their lives were turned upside down.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thankfully, they, along with their three dogs and four cats, made it out safely. However, their home is now unlivable for at least the next eight months. The entire ground floor—including their kitchen, living room, and dining room—was impacted, and the upper floors suffered smoke damage, requiring extensive cleaning and repainting.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>While insurance will help, it will take time, and it won’t cover everything—especially the sentimental items that can never be replaced. The financial and emotional burden of rebuilding from scratch is overwhelming.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Jade and Cody are the kind of people who would do anything within their means to help others in need. Now, it’s our turn to lift them up. Let’s come together to help ease the burden of starting over, ensuring that Oaklee has everything she needs, and giving this family a fresh start.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Any amount, big or small, will make a difference. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser means the world. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and generosity.

</div>

<img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/57540893_162275100471109_r.jpeg" alt="57540893_162275100471109_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" />Audrey (Sister), Kevin, Rosetta (Mother), LR (Father in front)<br /><br />For those that have been wrongfully convicted, the agony of prison life and the complete loss of freedom are only compounded by the feelings of what might have been. Deprived for years of family and friends and the ability to establish oneself professionally, the nightmare does not end upon release. With no money, housing, transportation, health services or insurance, and a criminal record that is rarely cleared despite innocence, the punishment lingers long after innocence has been proven. This is a reality that current client Kevin Strickland could soon be facing.<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/57540893_1622751067507652_r.jpeg" alt="57540893_1622751067507652_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br />For more than 41 years, Kevin Strickland has been incarcerated for a crime he did not commit!  The state of Missouri has robbed him of his youth, his health, and much of his life’s potential. He has largely lost the use of his legs and now uses a wheelchair. All for a crime he did not commit. All while the real perpetrators—to the extent they were prosecuted by the State—have long since been freed. All while there is overwhelming evidence of his innocence. <br /><br />On May 11, 2021, Mr. Strickland’s attorneys, led by the Midwest Innocence Project, filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus with the Supreme Court of Missouri to discharge Strickland from prison based upon illegal confinement and the record before the court.  Even the Jackson County Prosecuting Attorney is requesting Mr. Strickland’s exoneration. <br /><br />As of this writing Missouri Governor Mike Parson has been made aware of Mr. Strickland’s case and the overwhelming evidence of his innocence.  At any time now Governor Parson could commute Mr. Strickland’s sentence or issue a pardon.  <br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/57540893_1622751128329237_r.jpeg" alt="57540893_1622751128329237_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" />L.R. Strickland (left) and Kevin Strickland (right)<br /><br />But what would Mr. Strickland be released from prison to face?  A world that he does not know much about.  Today he is 61 years old but he was a teenager when he went to prison.  His mother is gone as are many other family members.  He has no work history to speak of.  There is no Missouri statute to compensate a person wrongfully convicted of a crime and later found innocent, unless through DNA, and that is not the case here.  Mr. Strickland needs financial support to care for his basic needs upon his release from prison.  Mr. Strickland has suffered an unimaginable atrocity and no one helped him.  Today, he needs your help.<br /><br />We are confident that Mr. Strickland will be released by the end of this year.  We know he will face many hurdles adjusting to life outside of prison and we hope that we can rally together to help make a difference, to help him after the system failed him. <br /><br />Please donate today to help Mr. Strickland establish himself in a home and provide for his basic needs upon his release from prison.  <br /><br />For more information regarding the injustices that Mr. Strickland suffered, please read articles here:<br /><br /><a href="https://www.jacksoncountyprosecutor.com/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=1087" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.jacksoncountyprosecutor.com/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=1087</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.kansascity.com/news/local/crime/article249595653.html" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.kansascity.com/news/local/crime/article249595653.html</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article251361643.html" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article251361643.html</a>

Indian Hills Community Center has needed a paved parking lot for years.  Our community center has been trying for a very long time to get a parking lot that doesn't need strategic navigation when it rains or snows!  Our local sign quipster has been trying to raise enough money to get the parking lot paved for many years but, due to community center maintenance, upkeep, operating expenses and unanticipated costs, we have not yet met that goal.  Please help our wonderful community shine like the sign that brings smiles and laughter to our worldwide following!  We hope our sign brings you many more snickers and giggles for years to come.<br />Thank you for your support!!

This July 2018, my brother was struck down by an abscess pressing on his spinal chord that rendered him paralyzed from the neck down. It was sudden, fast and devastating.  Dewitt and his wife Shannon were just expanding their business of artisan blacksmith works and had a months worth of back orders and a new beautiful workshop. He is lucky to have had some good recovery, but is not longer able to work. As usual with these life events, medical bills come and on top of this they were forced to refund all of their pending orders. Estimated loss is around $14,000 and they no longer have any income as they were both working full time on HammeredForge. Dewey has been approved for Disability but it won't start until February and will only cover a fraction of their living expenses. I am reaching out for them seeking some temporary relief. We all know Dewey and Shannon as hardworking folks and loving and supportive parents who have always given more than they have received. Dewey’s recovery is ongoing and by strong will, big love or miracle he can now walk short distances. We are grateful for this and grateful for all the support he has received.<br /><br />Help them out if you can. Thanks for you time.<br /><br /><br />Shannon &amp; Dewey @ HammeredForge<br /><br />Website- <a href="https://hammeredforge.com/" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://hammeredforge.com/</a><br /><br />ETSY-<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/hammeredforge" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.etsy.com/shop/hammeredforge</a><br /><br />Like us on Facebook- <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HammeredForge/" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.facebook.com/HammeredForge/</a><br /><br />Check out behind the scenes of our shop &amp; life @<br /><br />Dewey's Instagram - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hammeredforge/" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/hammeredforge/</a> <br /><br />Shannon's Instagram - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/beautifulfiberlife/" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/beautifulfiberlife/</a>

Sadly one of our PBR associates lost everything in a devastating Christmas Eve House fire. We are asking for you to help them during this difficult time with any donations. If you’re not able to donate we understand and ask you please keep her and her family in your prayers as they begin to put the pieces of their life together again. Thank you so much.

<p>Temple Emanuel is a small synagogue serving the southern Colorado Jewish population. The building was constructed in 1900 and is the oldest synagogue in Colorado that is still in use. Our building is on the National Historic Register. <br /><br />Last week, the FBI arrested a former KKK member who had plans to destroy our beautiful, historic synagogue. The news has reported that he planned to detonate dynamite and Molotov cocktails on Friday, November 1. He also claimed he had a plan to add arsenic to the pipes, to poison the children who drink from our water fountains.
</p>

<p><br />While we are so thankful that he was apprehended before he could enact his plan, we nevertheless believe that our community needs to take immediate action to prevent any other such atrocities. To that end, we are asking for funds to upgrade our security system, including adding additional security cameras around the perimeter and improving our video storage capabilities. We would like to expand the hours of our security detail as well. In the event we have any additional funds which are not required for security improvements, they will be used for structural improvements and repairs.

My sister Tedde was an extremely beautiful, bright, funny and warm soul.  A few days ago my family lost little Tedde to suicide. Addiction and mental health issues plagued the past few years of her life, but we want to remember her for the compassionate amazing person that she was. She touched the lives of so many and to lose her in such a traumatizing way will truly haunt us forever. <br /><br />We are reaching out to anyone that can help us cover the costs of her funeral. Trying to help Tedde over the past struggling years has taken a emotional and financial toll on my family. As her older sister I am asking for your help and compassion. There is hope and purpose for all of our lives. We hope that Tedde's story will encourage you to reach out to your loved ones who might need it and cherish the time you have with another. <br /><br />Thank you,<br />Milan (Mimi) Aguilera

Want to join me in making a difference for our veterans? I'm raising money as a District of Columbia Children of the American Revolution project to benefit the veterans of the Armed Forces Retirement Home leisure activities.   This DC state organization of the National Society of the Children of the American Revolution would appreciate any donation to help make an impact for these veterans who've sacrificed for our country and our freedom.  Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.<br /><br />The Children of the American Revolution (C.A.R.) is an organization with societies at the local, state, and national level whose mission is to train good citizens, develop leaders and promote love of the United States of America and its heritage among young people.<br /><br />"This State President has a passion to help America’s veterans.  With the motto “Serving Those Who’ve Served” she searched through the numerous opportunities within the confines of the District of Columbia.  The Armed Forces Retirement Home (AFRH-W) of DC rose above the rest to become her choice for the 2019-2020 State Project.  The original facilities were established in 1831 (US Naval Asylum) and 1851 (Army, US Soldiers Home) but were merged into the current organization in 1991.  The retirees are veterans from varied backgrounds and experiences with stories covering many aspects of US history and leadership.  D.C.C.A.R. members will be able to learn about US history from these veterans who’ve provided for our freedoms and learn from their leadership examples.  <br /><br />The goal of this D.C.C.A.R. project is aimed to enhance the veteran retiree experience through leisure and learning activities – specifically assist in the modernization of their BINGO equipment and provide outdoor equipment for leisure and gardening.  At the AFRH-W “the possibilities for a rich and rewarding retirement are endless” and “Serving Those Who’ve Serve” will help support the AFRH-W efforts!"

<strong>Urgent! Hugh’s Medical Challenge</strong> <br /><br />Our brother, Hugh Tirrell, is in need of immediate oral surgery. He has advanced periodontal disease, which means he must have most of his teeth pulled and replaced with prosthetic dentures. His oral surgeon has told him that this surgery must happen as soon as possible.    <strong>The $22,000 necessary for this 6-9 month process, is an unachievable barrier for Hugh.</strong><br /><br />Hugh’s physical health and financial resources are depleted from his recent kidney transplant and all the medical issues stemming from it:<br /><br />*A compromised immune system from the <br />    anti-rejection medications.<br /><br />*A resulting heart condition: A-Fib.<br /><br />*Greater strain on both Hugh’s heart and.<br />  transplanted kidney <br /><br />*Can lead to a stroke.<br /><br />Left untreated, Hugh’s condition will further impact his oral and overall health including deterioration of his few healthy teeth needed to minimize denture cost. (Other than periodontal disease his doctors at the Mayo Clinic say he is in good health.)<br /><br /><strong>Immediate action is required to arrest Hugh’s serious periodontal disease.</strong><br /><br />Being unable to afford the necessary surgery also impacts Hugh’s ability to earn a living.  He has been working on creating a collection of children’s books about each American state. Without this surgery, his condition will inhibit further development and marketing of the series of books.<br /><br /><strong>WE NEED YOUR HELP</strong>. We have set up this Go Fund Me site in hopes of raising the funds necessary to pay his medical expenses. Your donations to Hugh’s cause are greatly appreciated. Feel free to ask any questions you may have about this fund. <br /><br /><strong>Please DONATE and forward this message to your friends and contacts.</strong> <br /><br />A heartfelt thank you from both of Hugh’s sisters,<br /><br />Prill Tirrell Bisher (Organizer)     <br /><br />Susen Tirrell Fagrelius

Urgent! Hugh's Medical Challenge

In 2015 I became ill with a disease that even the doctors can't fully describe. I spent 6 months in the hospital and nursing home. I can no longer walk.<br /><br />I need physical and occupational therapy, but the copay on our insurance is too high. I also need to see a nureologist to get a diagnosis and prognosis, but you can imagine what the cost is for that.<br /><br />This is urgent because as the days pass, my legs are growing weaker. I need to act fast in order to gain my muscles back.<br /><br />This is a complicated ilness and when left alone I am virtually helpless. Have you ever had to wait for someone to come home to get you a glss of water?<br /><br />I thank anyone who chooses to donate. I am in a financial bind in order to pay these medcal bills and to see a nureologist, and your support is awesome.
