<div>Danielle has been battling some very intense, scary, unpredictable health issues for the past 11 months. After multiple Emergency Department visits, a 5 day hospital stay, seeing multiple specialists, having dozens of scans, tests, blood work panels done, medications prescribed... we still don't have any real answers.
</div>
<div>Danielle honestly hates asking for help and doesn't like relying on others to support her. But at this time, she is unable to work consistently and although she is currently navigating the Disability application process and other resources, her bills are starting to accumulate and overwhelm her. We humbly ask that if you are able to help Danielle during this challenging &amp; exhausting chapter, it will not go unappreciated. Thank you all.
</div>

Support Danielle during her medical challenges.

<div>The purpose of this fundraiser is to help Miguel Rojas retire a relatively small monthly mortgage of CAD $631 for 24 remaining payments. The mortgage is held in the name of both Miguel and his mother, Ericka. The property is a humble but much-cared-for property of some 90 square meters in Palmares, Alajuela, Costa Rica.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Until this year, Miguel has covered the greater share of the mortgage with supplementary funds from his mother, Ericka, and Jorge, 27, Miguel’s younger brother. Ericka and Jorge, since late 2020, have been able to put only basic food on the table and cover utilities — Ericka suffered a serious leg injury keeping her home-bound and Jorge, a bilingual waiter, can get work for only 3 days per week at best. Any sickness by Jorge leads him into quarantine in the times of Covid-19. They can no longer help Miguel with the mortgage. The 2019 death of Ericka’s husband and father to Jorge and Miguel further cut family income.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Meanwhile, in Chilliwack, British Columbia, meet Miguel Rojas. He’s 29. A Costa Rican national on track for permanent residency status in British Columbia, Canada. He is awaiting final notification, and Canada is significantly backlogged in processing such paperwork and approvals. His current work permit only authorizes employment as a continuing and much-loved School District 33 high school Spanish and Mathematics Teacher, now in his third year.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Most people understand that young teachers have to find summer work and supplementary assignments to make ends meet. But Miguel is not allowed to make extra money until his permanent residency status has cleared. To do so would put his residency in jeopardy. And so Miguel, as a de facto essential BC worker, as the one highly successful family member (BEd., BA, Trinity Western University, Langley, BC, currently at work on his Masters of Educational Technology from the University of British Columbia, all paid for by scholarships and outside educational funding), finds himself in that impossible situation where the commitment to protecting his family will now only undermine his own stability in Canada. Only Miguel is left to fund the full mortgage payment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So close to the end of the mortgage, a loss of the property to a bank would be catastrophic. Please consider helping Miguel secure his family’s housing and being a worthy resident in the Canada he loves.
</div>
<div><br />

Help Miguel finish rescuing his mother's home

<br />My name is Judy Grande, and I am raising money for a scholarship for a young Honduran man named David.  David came to the Shriners Burn Institute in 2014 to be treated for severe burns he suffered in his home country. After almost 50 operations at Shriners, David has "aged out" <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/52898996_1606702362895622_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="52898996_1606702362895622_r.jpeg" /> of treatment there. <br /><br />Because he is at high risk for serious injury or death if he returns to his country, David is seeking asylum in the U.S.   He is currently living in suburban Boston and waiting for his work permit so he can get a job.  There is no telling when he will get the permit, given the current political climate, and without a permit he cannot work here legally.  <br /><br />David has a high school diploma and wants to go to college to become a registered nurse. He has been accepted at Quincy College to start in the Spring semester of 2021.  The costs are $481 for Technology Fee, $729 each for English and Psychology courses, $744 for a Math course, and $1076 for a Biology courses.  His registration fee is $120, for a total of $3879, excluding books.  David has received one scholarship for $750 and a gift of $500, but doesn’t have the resources for the rest of the tuition.<br /><br />Here is a young man (21), who wants to work and pay his own tuition but, for reasons beyond his control, cannot earn money for school and living expenses  He is already taking courses on-line to help him in school.  David is very intelligent, speaks and reads English fluently, and is determined to reach his goal of being an RN so he can help patients with severe burns like his.  <br /><br />It would be fantastic if people who read this could help pay  for his first semester of college that is starting on January 2021 and get him on the road to reaching his goal.  Once he receives his work permit he will be able to start saving money for future semesters.  <br /><br />I will open a bank account specifically for donations for David and will give a full accounting of all donations to all donors.  If you write a check, please make it payable to Judy Grande and send it to 5 Oak Ridge Road, Littleton, MA  01460, and mark “For David’s tuition” in the memo section of the check.  Thank you in advance for helping this wonderful young man.

Young immigrant needs money for tuition

In the early morning hours of 6/19, the most unwelcome and unexpected happened. Millie McGovern was raised out of bed (thankfully!) to the sound of her smoke detectors but this was not a false alarm or low batteries.  Millie got out ok but lost her entire second floor with damage all throughout her beloved family home of 60+ years. Millie is unharmed but devastated, as we can all imagine.<br /><br />Millie is one of the most giving and kind hearted people and a true Littletonian through and through. Millie would go without if it meant she could help someone else with whatever she had and her time is spent volunteering everywhere and anywhere she is needed.  And how on earth would have everyone gotten to LHS safely all these years if not for Millie’s traffic control super skills? <br /><br />We are hoping to help her through this difficult time with financial support as she will need to rebuild her beloved house, obtain some new furniture and clothing and basic necessities.<br /><br />Any help is truly appreciated and Millie will be pleasantly surprised by it all... and horrified when she finds out we have this page (maybe we shouldn’t tell her quite yet!).
