I’m starting this fundraiser for my wife, <strong>Corrine</strong>, and for our family as we care for our 3-month-old baby through an incredibly difficult time. We were already financially stretched adjusting to life with a newborn when Corrine was diagnosed with cancer after our baby was just 9 weeks old. Since then, our world has been turned upside down. What should be a season focused on caring for and bonding with our baby has also become a time filled with fear, uncertainty, and the weight of trying to manage everything at once. 
<br>
<br>
 We are asking for help because the financial strain has become overwhelming. The funds raised will help cover <strong>medical expenses</strong> and <strong>living expenses</strong> so we can focus on Corrine’s care and our family’s day-to-day needs during this time. If you are able to give, any support would mean so much to us. If you cannot donate, your encouragement and support are deeply appreciated as well. Thank you for standing with Corrine and our family and for helping us get through these difficult days.

Support Corrine and Our Young Family

<div>
 We are reaching out to ask for your support for our friend Dak.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 On July 21st, Dak was on his way home from work when he was suddenly hit by another car in a hit and run on the I-70 to 635 on-ramp. This initial accident caused his car to spin out and become immobile and another car hit him from behind. Dak and the other remaining driver involved in this initial hit and run got out to assess the situation. Dak was then immediately impacted by a separate vehicle traveling down the highway ramp.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 This left him in the ICU with severe, life-threatening injuries. Among several other injuries, Dak has suffered the loss of his right leg, a broken pelvis, and a broken left leg. He has already been through several surgeries and required multiple blood transfusions.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 At this point, he has been moved to a long term rehabilitation facility. The team there is optimistic about his recovery, but it is going to be a long and difficult road.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Any donation received will go directly towards significant expenses regarding:
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<ul>
 <li>medical care he has already received</li>
 <li>rehabilitation and ongoing recovery including eventual prothesis and other movement aids</li>
 <li>dental work</li>
 <li>renovations that need to be made to make his home accessible</li>
 <li>helping to cover living costs while he is unable to work</li>
</ul>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Dak is an exceptionally caring friend, bandmate, and community member whom we all cherish so much. We are so grateful that he has survived this horrific accident, but recognize that he is going to need a lot of support in order to get back to doing the things he loves.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Our goal with this fundraiser is to help Dak focus on healing instead of the financial burden of navigating his injuries and long term recovery. Anything you are able to contribute is so greatly appreciated.
</div>

Support Dak’s Recovery After Severe Accident

<div>My name is Jules, I’m a trans woman painter and former sex worker living and working in Brooklyn. This summer I finally gained access to insurance that will cover facial feminisation surgery, which I'll be getting at NYU Langone on August 18th. I've been trying to access this surgery for over a decade, and it's my hope that it will go a long way towards alleviating the dysphoria I've carried with me my entire life and make existing in a world openly hostile to trans women both safer and easier.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am extremely lucky that my insurance covers the whole cost of the procedure itself, but like most trans women, I live paycheque to paycheque and lack the savings necessary to cover lost income and recovery expenses.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My current employment as an amp tech is contract-based, which means I don't get paid time off and only make money when I'm physically in the shop getting work done. My work involves hauling heavy equipment and working on live electrical circuits which requires intense concentration and mental stamina to maintain my own safety and that of others—it's not the sort of thing I can resume immediately after major surgery. I expect to be unable to work for at least three and possibly four weeks following surgery, which means that I will lose somewhere between $3000 and $4000 in income.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In addition to finding a way to pay rent and utilities while I'm laid up, I'll need money to cover recovery-specific expenses like cleaning supplies, recovery-appropriate food, sanitary products and transport to and from post-op appointments.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Those of you who know me personally know that there is literally nothing in this world I hate more than asking for help—I would rather pull my own teeth than be a burden to my loved ones and my community. I'm only reaching out now because I have no other choice.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I want you to know that I'm grateful to all of you—this community has saved my life and the lives of those I love more times than I can count, and I hope I can continue giving back to all of you and show you even a fraction of the care and kindness you've shown me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I love you all.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>xo Jules

Jules' FFS Recovery Fund

<div>
 Hi y'all! Making one of these for myself feels awkward and weird, but I figure there's nothing to lose!
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I am receiving gender-affirming surgery on September 8th, and I will have to take a month off of work for my recovery. After moving earlier this year and paying double rent for a couple months, my savings/emergency fund is pretty depleted, and I'm hoping to be able to have a small nest egg set aside to cover rent/groceries/bills before I take the time off.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Anything helps, and if you are not able to contribute financially, sharing this would also greatly help me! I appreciate everyone's generosity, and whatever is left over from this once I get back to work, I will go ahead and pay it forward and send it on to other gender-affirming surgery fundraisers.

Assistance In Covering Expenses During Surgery Recovery

<div>On March 18th, Serena suffered a stroke at just 29 years old. She is currently still in hospital, and we are doing everything we can to support her recovery while managing the financial reality of it all.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For anyone who doesn’t know who Serena is, she’s a cheesemonger and has spent years building a deep, hands-on knowledge of cheeses of every kind even going so far to get a cheesemonger cert. She is also extremely passionate about music, and synthesizers, knowing how to program many and make her own pedals and that knowledge and curiosity is a core part of who she is. Watching her be unable to access those parts of herself in the aftermath of the stroke has been one of the hardest things for both of us to face.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Before this happened, Serena was the primary earner in our household. Her sudden hospitalisation has left us without that income at the exact moment our expenses have increased significantly.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The funds raised will go toward:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>* Hospital bills and medical costs already incurred
</div>
<div>* Ongoing rehabilitation and care as Serena continues to recover
</div>
<div>* Day-to-day living costs and lost income while she is unable to work
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are not asking for anything beyond what we genuinely need to get through this. Any contribution, no matter the size, helps. Sharing this page also makes a real difference.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for taking the time to read this. We are grateful for every bit of support.

Support for Serena’s Stroke Recovery

<div>Becky and Trevor like to say that they grew old together and then started dating. This is the second time in two years that they’re battling cancer, together. They are a team and their team is a large one! On the best days, there are 5 kids ages 10 to 19, two adults, and one goofy little dog in the house.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Trevor is:

</div>

<div>·       Loved

</div>

<div>·       A valued member of the community

</div>

<div>·       A dad

</div>

<div>·       A partner

</div>

<div>·       An artist

</div>

<div>·       Battling cancer. Again.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Two years ago, Trevor began treatment for throat cancer. For months he underwent a combination of chemotherapy and radiation treatments. With the help of a feeding tube, Becky’s watchful eye, the team at Willamette Valley Cancer Institute and a badass desire to stick around for his kids, he was determined cancer-free in September of 2024.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>6 weeks ago, on January 29th, Trevor went to the emergency room for what turned out to be a major blood clot in his right arm. Over the course of the next few weeks he was admitted again and the mysterious lumps that he had noticed on his neck were examined, scanned and eventually seen by the right doctors who determined that the cancer had returned. From that point on, things moved quickly and surgery was scheduled to remove the tumors, portions of muscle and vein that had been atrophied by radiation, and a part of his collarbone that is home to a yet to be determined lump.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Trevor will have surgery next Wednesday, March 18th; he will spend up to 2 weeks in the hospital healing after surgery; once he heads back to Eugene, there will be rehabilitation and then, possibly, immunotherapy.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Help support Trevor’s family while he heals and reduce the financial stress so that they can focus on healing and caring for one another.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The $9,000 raised will cover the following:

</div>

<div>·       $6,480 – bills ($3,240/month)

</div>

<div>·       $800 – groceries for the house for the two months of recovery

</div>

<div>·       $500 – food while in Portland for two weeks

</div>

<div>·       $415 – lodging in Portland for three nights

</div>

<div>·       $450 – gas to travel to/from Portland every three days over the course of 2 weeks

</div>

<div>·       $715 – any unexpected expenses

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for supporting their family by donating and sharing!

</div>

Support Becky & Trevor’s Family While They Tackle Cancer

<div>My sister, Kelsie Marr, is currently on life support, and our family is facing an incredibly challenging and emotional time.  The hardest part is not knowing what is causing her to fight for her life. The sudden turn of events has left everyone in shock, and being together as a family is more important than ever. However, the costs of travel and being by her side are adding up quickly, making an already difficult situation even more stressful. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> The funds raised through this campaign will go directly toward helping our family cover travel expenses so we can be together and support each other during this crisis. My sister needs us during this critical time. Your support will help make that possible. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help ease the burden and allow our family to focus on what truly matters—being there for Kelsie when she needs us most. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> Your help brings comfort and hope when it is needed most. Please consider sharing this fundraiser with others who may want to help as well.

<div><strong>Help Us Be by Their Side: Support Our Family’s Travel to Visit My Sister (Halo/Mimi) in the Hospital, as well as, Medical and Legal Costs</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our family is facing one of the most difficult times of our lives. My beloved sister was recently the victim of a devastating accident — they were run over by a SUV and have since been in multiple care facilities recovering from the serious injuries. The most severe of these is their traumatic brain injury which they are battling every day relearning to speak, eat, drink, walk, etc. While they fight to heal, we’re doing everything we can to be by their side in Pennsylvania and ensure their life outside of the hospital is maintained.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, the cost of travel from South Carolina has created a painful barrier. As a family, we are struggling to cover the expenses to visit — flights, lodging, meals, and time away from work that all add up quickly. Being there in person means everything to us and helps tremendously to ensure all the wheels with medical care, their personal needs, and legal proceedings continue to turn, setting them up for the best possible outcome. They need our love, our presence, and our strength right now more than ever.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re humbly asking for your support to make this possible. Any contribution, no matter how small, goes directly toward helping our family be together during this critical time and also the medical and legal costs associated with the situation. Your generosity will help ease the financial burden, so we can focus on what matters most — supporting my sister’s recovery with l<em>ove and care</em>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for reading, sharing, supporting, and keeping them in your thoughts. It means more than we can ever express.

<div>Hello:) I am very very lucky to be receiving ********surgery on April 8th. So, I unexpectedly got notified of a $5800 bill which will be almost my entire savings on top of my entire upcoming paycheck. I will barely be scraping by. I am taking over a month off of work to recover, and need some support for bills and recovery costs. March 8th is the deadline for me to pay the $5800. I’m really scared and trying to get my shit together in the next 12 days to pay. I could really use help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>over the next two months, these funds would help me cover: food($450), aftercare($100), therapy($280), transportation to follow up appointments($100), rent/utilities($1600), meds($220), and 4-5 days of lodging for caregiver &amp; I($5-600).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I won’t say too much but it’s really really hard to live like this and I think anyone who knows me sees this pain. Postponing truly is not an option…. I’m trying my best to do this on my own and scrambling to find other resources but I’m at a point where I just need to ask for help from community. Please don’t feel guilty if you can’t donate. Please do send to your friends♥️

A surgery to save my life

<div>Hi there !

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My dear friend Carly is finally able to get gender affirming chest reduction surgery January 15 2025. They have been waiting for this surgery for a decade now and finally have been able to set a surgery date. This procedure will be a huge step for Carly towards relieving their gender dysphoria, allowing them to live more comfortably in their body.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Carly is a piercing artist that lives in Brooklyn, piercing is a very physically taxing job that often leads to back pain and with the size of Carly’s chest leads them to wild discomfort. Carly is a loving person who has personally shown up in not only my life other people in the community as well and they are beloved. Carly has suffered a great amount of loss this past year and has been financially recovering since. While they are fortunate enough to have sick pay for some of their recovery, they will not be able to work for half of January while they recover, which is why we are asking for the help of their friends and community. Along with not being able to work they will also have the financial responsibility of paying for the surgery in full after the procedure is done which is $6800 (insurance doesn’t cover costs)

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Any contributions to the GoFundMe will go directly towards their rent for the month that they ads recovering, transportation to and from their surgery and post op appointments, groceries, and any medications they may need during recovery.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Asking for money is always complicated, especially during a recession. If you would like to help without making a donation please feel free to share this GoFundMe with friends, family, or anyone else. Help of any kind is very much appreciated!

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you know Carly, even just a little bit, you know that they ride for their friends in such a genuine and authentic way. They will always be there for you, support you, take care of you, give you constructive advice to help you, cry with you, open their home to you, etc. Carly is truly one of the best friends and people one could have in their life. Their loyalty and love is unwavering. This amazing human has dealt with so much tragedy in the past year, losing dear loved ones including their beloved dog, Low. All the while still showing up for their friends during this time. Carly gives and gives, and when it seems like they don’t have anything left to give they still somehow figure out a way to give more. If you have been lucky enough to experience Carly’s love and generosity, or you’re just reading this and it resonates with you, please consider donating to their top surgery. The way Carly cares for not only their friends but also their community is incredible and they deserve to receive that care back.

<div>Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Strangers,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m reaching out to ask for support for a dear friend of mine, Heather, who has recently endured an unimaginable health crisis. I have known her since childhood and anyone who knows Heather knows she’s fiercely independent. For her, “help” is the worst four-letter-word. Today, I’m asking on her behalf.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Years ago, Heather was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AFib), a serious heart condition that causes irregular and often rapid heartbeats. To treat it, she underwent a procedure called ablation, which is usually straightforward. However, in a rare and devastating turn of events, there was a complication where the lining of her heart fused to the esophageal wall, creating a dangerous fissure.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This resulted in an emergency surgery to repair the hole in her heart. Heather spent several weeks in the cardiac ICU in agonizing pain being fed through a tube in her stomach, and facing multiple additional complications throughout her recovery. I can only imagine the mental, emotional, and physical toll this has taken on her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Despite her strength and resilience, she’s obviously been unable to work during this time, and while she’s been receiving paid medical leave, it only covers a portion of her salary and the clock on it is running down. The medical bills and living expenses have piled up, leaving her in an overwhelming financial situation with no clear path to catching up.  
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Those who know Heather know how hard it is for her to accept help—but she needs it now more than ever. Any donation, large or small, would help her get back on her feet and focus on healing instead of worrying about financial strain. Funds raised will go directly toward covering medical expenses, essential living costs, and any necessary treatments moving forward.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for your generosity and support during this incredibly difficult time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div>Jarrod Pimental

In Loving Memory of Jenny Aguilar

<div>On the evening of March 1st, my very dear friend Savannah was driving to the CLT airport to pick up her mother when she was involved in a near fatal hit and run car accident. She happened to be driving her mother’s compact SUV which saved her life.
</div>
<div>Savannah was traveling on 277 towards Wilkinson Blvd in the far right lane going the speed limit and being very cautious as that area of the highway can be extremely hazardous. A man in a large SUV merged into her vehicle while speeding, clipping her back tire and sending her into a tailspin across the highway. She hit the grass median and her vehicle flipped multiple times ultimately coming to a stop upside down. As the car rolled, Savannah experienced multiple significant impacts of her head against the window and windshield causing a concussion and full blowout of her orbital and cheekbones, essentially shattering the entire left side of her face/skull. Although she was wearing her seatbelt, she received 3 broken ribs from the trauma of the car flipping so many times.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The man who hit her never stopped or slowed down.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Savannah was taken to the emergency room and treated for her injuries, which were so severe they resulted in a multiple day stay in the hospital. Luckily her mother and her mother’s two best friends were able to meet Savannah at the hospital right as she got there. As Savannah’s mother was driven by her friend from the airport to the hospital she passed by the accident scene and saw her totaled vehicle upside down on the grass median. I can not even imagine being a mother and seeing that scene.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Due to the severity of the swelling and bleeding in Savannah’s face, she was released to rest at her mother’s house for a couple of days before having to return to the hospital for major surgery. During this time I was able to visit Savannah several times, including the night she was released. I can not put into words how seeing my best friend, someone I love immensely, in this state made me feel other than completely heartbroken and grateful at the same time. To know how much she suffered, how scared she was, and the pain she will have to continue to endure and process over the years physically, mentally, and emotionally was almost too much to bare. I cried and cried while she could not cry at all due to the pain she was experiencing.
</div>
<div>A couple of days later she went back to the hospital to receive surgery in order to rebuild her eye socket and the entire left side of her face. They implanted 3 titanium plates during this reconstruction to replace the bones that were obliterated in the accident. In addition to broken bones, since the accident Savannah has experienced intense double vision which prevents her from seeing anything clearly and often causes extremely debilitating nausea. Post-surgery she again spent a couple more days in the hospital before being allowed to return home to her mother’s house to rest and recuperate. She will continue to stay with her mother for the next couple of weeks but most of her healing process will be done independently as she adjusts to everyday life again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are very grateful Savannah survived at all and that she is able to rest and recover in the comfort of her mother’s home, but with severe injuries like hers she will be unable to work or live independently for some time and has a long road ahead of her to return to any kind of normalcy. Not to mention the after effects of this kind of trauma. Her vision could be compromised for a year and might never be the same. Therapy has been highly recommended to process and address the fear of driving and even being in a car. Everyday things we take for granted will be a struggle for Savannah to overcome, but she will overcome them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As many of you know, healthcare in this country can be wildly unaffordable and unfortunately this is what Savannah is now experiencing. Two separate hospital stays plus treatment of severe injuries and an intensive surgery are expenses that she cannot afford alone. Since this was a hit and run and the man who hit her has not been identified, there is no insurance provider, other than Savannah’s, to cover the damage and medical bills. She is currently working with her own insurance to see what can be covered but the outcome is not looking favorable at this time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Savannah is one of my closest friends and a dear friend to many in our community and outside of it. She is always there for her friends in any form they need her. I know she has added something beautiful to the lives of those around her because I see it constantly.
</div>
<div>Right now Savannah needs our support. She will need funds to assist with medical bills as well as to cover rent, monthly bills, and everyday life expenses while she is out of work.
</div>
<div>Please consider donating to Savannah’s gofundme I have started. Any amount you can give is hugely appreciated.
</div>

Help Savannah after Hit and Run

<div>Howdy y'all,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As many of you close to me know, I've had a lot of dental problems over the last decade. From teeth breaking repeatedly to massive amounts of pain, I've even had to pull a few myself. It's been less than fun.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>About a year and a half ago, I started taking care of my oral issues by getting 18 teeth pulled in about 6 weeks. This was a huge change in my life as it got rid of the pain that had been plaguing me for years. However, it also came with some issues.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My original plan was to get dentures after getting those teeth pulled, but after 18 months, that financial goal has been out of my reach. The last year and a half has been a struggle as I haven't been able to eat normally, and my remaining teeth continue to degrade and break over time. It's time for me to get the rest of these teeth out of my mouth and get dentures.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I've gotten quotes from dentists and have found a workable situation to improve my quality of life daily. I'm also at the point where living like this is no longer tenable if I can help it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is why I'm reaching out to you today. I'm hoping to raise enough funds to cover the cost of the treatment and get the dentures that I so desperately need. Any amount that you can contribute would be greatly appreciated, and I will be forever grateful for your support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm always smiling, but it would be wonderful to do basic things like being able to eat without worrying about my remaining teeth breaking and just have the overall health benefits that this will bring.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for taking the time to read my story, and I hope that you can find it in your heart to donate to my cause. Your kindness and generosity will make a tremendous difference in my life, and I will never forget the impact that you have made.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sincerely,
</div>
<div>Zane
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>P.S. If you're unable to donate, you can still help by sharing this. Everything helps! Thank you, and I love you all.

Let's get Zane some teeth...finally!

<div>Hello and welcome to the second funding option for the Books For Boobs explant fundraiser.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for being so interested in supporting a transgender author in reaching both a dream of functioning health and the possibility of becoming a published writer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After 15 years of chronic health issues that baffled many specialists and doctors, the only plausible culprit left has to be the silicone in my breast implants. As much as they help exponentially with my body/gender dysphoria, I have made the hard decision to remove them on November 8th in hopes of regaining my health.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My other way of funding the surgery is to get 100,000 people to buy my 500-page first novel, An Awaited Reckoning, on Amazon for $0.99 and to leave a review.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Achieving the original goal would push my book into Amazon's top 10 and cover the total surgery cost. With money left over, I can spend a year mentally and physically healing while I write and finish book three.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This GoFundMe is set up for people who might want to donate more than the $0.99 ebook.

Explant surgery Fundraiser - November 8th Deadline

<div>We are a small, locally owned piercing and fine jewelry studio looking to move to beautiful downtown Santa Monica.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After finding a location on Main Street, we were excited for the new possibilities ahead of us, including a larger studio to accommodate more clients, multiple rooms to open us up for walk-ins, and more display space for even more gorgeous jewelry. We set up plans and applied for permits in February 2022, and were able - barely - to negotiate for three months' before rent payments would start (<strong>$9.8k/mo</strong>) given shared communication with City Hall and our contractors about estimated wait time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We signed the lease in March, paid a 35k deposit, and therefore began paying monthly rent in May until now. With deposit, that's over 100k for an empty building we haven't been able to touch. We -STILL- have not been granted all required permits to begin necessary construction on the building. Two main issues presented themselves:
</div>
<div>(i) The location was previously divided into two businesses each with their own electrical meter, but the City of Santa Monica required us to relocate them into one location, and this just got approved TWO weeks ago.
</div>
<div>(ii) All previous tenants utilized the shared dumpster location behind the building, but new rules disallow our only routes of access to the city trash, so they are forcing us to put trash bins INSIDE our building (goodbye to one entire room!).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In addition to this, we have had to extend our current lease several times, each time incurring a rent hike, now at 8.5k/mo for 450 sq.feet. This double rent, together with considerable construction and permit costs, has made us unable to pay our employees let alone hire a lawyer. And yet now we must to avoid bankruptcy. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are hoping to go into mitigation with the landlords to forgive future rent payments until we are actually open, and this requires legal representation at <strong>$450/hour</strong>. We have hired Avraham Sinai of Sinai Law here in Santa Monica. He believes we have a strong case given landlord responsibility for constructive knowledge of their property.

<div><strong>Please help us fight back and save our shop!</strong>

Help save Aesthetic Ambition!

Imagine the surprise if discovering you have cancer as a 27 year old single mom of triplet 7 year olds.  Finding out you have to endure 6 mo of chemotherapy before you can even have surgery. Anticipating the thought of possible radiation after that and realizing you’ll have hormone therapy for another 5-10 years.
<font color="#333333"><br /><br /></font>While Morganne hoped to be able to work throughout treatment her first session proved otherwise.
<br /><br /> We are raising funds for Morganne as she undergoes treatments. As a mom of 3 energetic little ones with extremely limited ability to work, you can imagine things are both tough and tiring.
<br /><br /> We hope to help make the financial side of things less burdensome, so she can focus on health and well being of herself and her family.
<br /><br /> Funds will be used for medical and living expenses including rent, utilities, childcare, clothing, medications and transportation.
<br /><br /> Every little bit counts and while it was difficult to ask for help, it really does take a village, and any support is greatly appreciated!<img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/68313117_1663966715368658_r.jpg" alt="Image" width="100%" media_type="3" /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/68313117_1663966715397032_r.jpg" alt="Image" width="100%" media_type="3" /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/68313117_1663966716312702_r.jpg" alt="Image" width="100%" media_type="3" />

Cancer is expensive

<div>Hello! My name is Kyrie West, and I’m a transgender woman seeking aid to cover the next step in my transition: Facial Feminization Surgery. I’ve been on HRT for a little over four years now, and the difference that transitioning has made in my mental health has been massive. I'm happier, less dissociative, and significantly less dysphoric than I was before HRT. I was hoping that HRT alone would be enough to resolve my gender dysphoria, but when I look in the mirror I can’t help but notice the effects that my first puberty had on my facial bone structure. Unfortunately, estrogen alone is unable to affect this in the way that I need, so I’m getting gender-affirming facial surgery to address my dysphoria, feel more aligned with my body, and live a happier life.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>I’m lucky enough to have my insurance helping to cover my surgical costs, but I live paycheck to paycheck, and I can’t save enough money on my own to cover the full costs of my gender-affirming medical care. Donations will go towards medical costs, travel (I'm flying to MN from WA for surgery), food, housing, and lost wages for the month that I am recovering.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>If you’re unable to donate but would still want to help, sharing this gofundme would be massively appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read &amp; considering lending help.

Kyrie's Gender Affirming Surgery Fund

This man works no less than 2 jobs sometimes 3 to help his little girl achieve her goal. The family now has a long road of recovery, with loss wages, medical bills and college expenses they could use our help. Thanks in advance.

Schofield family need’s support

<div>Hello, my name is Kade Oliverio. I identify as a transmasculine nonbinary person. Since beginning my transition, I've always known I would want to have a hysterectomy and bottom surgery. I was able to get a hysterectomy in 2022 and now have a surgery date set for my bottom surgery. As of right now my surgery is scheduled for June 4th 2024. I'm still unsure if insurance will cover any of the cost so I'm trying to make sure I have enough to cover it. Any donation amount or share is appreciated. Thank you.
