<div>Hi everyone,

</div>

<div>I’m reaching out during one of the hardest moments I’ve ever faced. My sweet cat is currently in the emergency hospital being treated for a urinary blockage, a very serious and life-threatening condition. He will need to stay in the ER for several days so the vets can monitor him closely and continue treatment.

</div>

<div>He’s only 3 years old and truly the sweetest soul. Anyone who has met him knows how incredibly affectionate, cuddly, and loving he is—he lives for attention and giving love right back. Seeing him go through this has been heartbreaking.

</div>

<div>Unfortunately, the cost of emergency care and hospitalization is more than I can handle on my own. I’m doing everything I can to give him the care he needs, but I can’t do it without help.

</div>

<div>If you’re able to donate, even a small amount, it would mean the world to us. If you can’t donate, sharing this page is just as appreciated. I am endlessly grateful for any support, kindness, or prayers during this time.

</div>

<div>Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me fight for my boy. ❤️

Help My 3yo Cat Survive Urinary Blockage

<div>Hi everyone,



</div>



<div><br />
</div>



<div>To those who don’t know me personally, I’m Sarah (aka Mother of Felines) and my daughter/companion is Muffin.



</div>



<div><br />
</div>



<div>Muffin is my lifeline, and my best friend. Recently (amongst some other chronic health issues we have been navigating) I noticed something wasn’t right in her tiny mouth, and started her on an OTC dental health regimen until her vet appointment. 



</div>



<div><br />
</div>



<div>Upon taking her in on 12/5/22, we discovered that she has Gingivitis, and beginning stages of Periodontitis. 



</div>



<div><br />
</div>



<div>I saw with my own eyes, how inflamed and bloody her gum lines were and issues with the surrounding molars when the vet conducted their oral exam. 



</div>



<div><br />
</div>



<div>I was advised that she would need a teeth cleaning and possible extractions as soon as possible, and told I could push it out to maximum 6 months from now before further complications arise.



</div>



<div><br />
</div>



<div>***Here is where things get tricky and why I am asking (despite my pride) for helping hands:***

</div>



<div><br />
</div>



<div>After about 20 years in the workforce, I had to take a necessary step back, to mitigate my own chronic health issues. I have struggled to find long term steady employment, and am currently unemployed at this time. I have utilized the last of my savings and have depleted the entirety of my retirement funds to cover expenses up until this point.

</div>



<div><br />
</div>



<div>Muffin also has Inflammatory Bowel Disease (a permanent life long condition) that she is on chronic medication for. In addition, she has a heart murmur.



</div>



<div><br />
</div>



<div>Because of this, before I can have her put under general anesthesia for the dental procedure, the vet needs to have bloodwork and other testing, as well as ECG to make sure her heart is OK to proceed. This adds additional costs.



</div>



<div><br />
</div>



<div>I am continuously looking for part time remote work, while waiting on state medical assistance for myself that I will get a decision on by early next year.


</div>



<div><br />
</div>



<div>I want you all to know, that we appreciate any amount you may have to spare, even if it is $1. If we pool our dollars together, I know we can help the best girl in the world get her teeth fixed.



</div>



<div><br />
</div>



<div>She is such a warrior. After everything she went through today she has such a resilient spirit and loving demeanor-never even hissed once the entire time, despite all the shots, poking, prodding and shuffling around.



</div>



<div><br />
</div>



<div>She is the light of my life, and I promise that she and I both will appreciate all of the love &lt;3
</div>
<div><br />

He has devoted his life’s work to helping hundreds of <br />clients and friends reach sobriety. He is <br />known for going above and beyond by <br />doing everything within his power to pull people out of the depths of addiction and into a sober life,  worth living.<br /><br />Always a rock for his family, he supports his children by leading by example and<br />giving them everything they need even<br />while sacrificing himself.  He has been a <br />fighter and champion to all those who <br />know him and he now needs our help. 
</p>

<p>In 2018 Big Phily  was diagnosed with <br />Lung Cancer, but went into remission <br />within 2 years.  But now, it has returned with a vengeance and is Stage 4.  Phily is <br />in a great deal of pain and is unable to <br />continue working, which means he can <br />no longer support himself, nor his <br />beloved family and needs help with his <br />mounting medical bills. 
</p>

<p>Now, Big Phily who has been the rock <br />and financial supporter for his family and countless others needs our help. Please help by relieving him of the constant <br />financial worry so he can focus on his <br />battle to BEAT CANCER. <br /><br />All funds raised will go to help with <br />mounting medical bills and living <br />expenses for him and his family. Always a humble and proud man, letting us help <br />him, does not come easy for this <br />selfless warrior. 
</p>

<p>With gratitude and humility, we thank<br />you for any financial help you can give <br />and all the love and prayers. <br /><br />

<p style="font-size:1rem;word-spacing:1px;margin:0in;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;border-color:#26282a;color:#26282a;">This is against Monica’s better judgement, but the Morton’s can’t do this alone. 
</p>

<p style="word-spacing:1px;margin:0in;font-size:medium;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;border-color:#26282a;color:#26282a;"> 
</p>

<p style="font-size:1rem;word-spacing:1px;margin:0in;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;border-color:#26282a;color:#26282a;">Most of you know what is going on with sweet, innocent Mason, but for those that don’t here’s a quick recap: 
</p>

<p style="word-spacing:1px;margin:0in;font-size:medium;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;border-color:#26282a;color:#26282a;"> 
</p>

<p style="font-size:1rem;word-spacing:1px;margin:0in;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;border-color:#26282a;color:#26282a;">A few weeks ago Monica’s whole household came down with Covid. For the most part, Monica felt like they came out of that pretty unscathed especially considering Mason typically gets hit hard with things. Since Mason was a baby, he suffers every flu season, even being hospitalized with pneumonia multiple times in his few short years of life. So Monica felt very fortunate that all 3 of her babies suffered very few symptoms and had moved on like nothing happened.
</p>

<p style="word-spacing:1px;margin:0in;font-size:medium;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;border-color:#26282a;color:#26282a;"> 
</p>

<p style="font-size:1rem;word-spacing:1px;margin:0in;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;border-color:#26282a;color:#26282a;">Fast forward a few weeks: 
</p>

<p style="word-spacing:1px;margin:0in;font-size:medium;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;border-color:#26282a;color:#26282a;"> 
</p>

<p style="font-size:1rem;word-spacing:1px;margin:0in;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;border-color:#26282a;color:#26282a;">Mason started coming down with- something, she thought maybe the flu, but hoping for just a cold. Her COVID fears were over considering they’d already been hit. It started with neck pain, followed by fevers up to 104 and severe exhaustion, then a rash that started on his hands. Monica is so used to Mason getting fevers and being sick, she was very unsure if she should bring him in or not. Normally she would make him a dr appointment and more likely than not, get sent to the hospital for further evaluation… but did I mention the nor’easter that was in full effect and the state of emergency New Jersey was under? Or the part where Monica, an Airforce wife to Raheem who is currently overseas in Turkey, is a Mama of 3 babes and no one could get to her due to the aforementioned blizzard?! Her decision was made for her when Mason’s condition worsened overnight and a phone call to a doctor suggested he had meningitis. She got all 3 kids ready and went out to start her car and I can’t even make this up- her car wouldn’t start and she had a flat tire. So- Hello 911? Ambulance for a party of 4 please. 
</p>

<p style="word-spacing:1px;margin:0in;font-size:medium;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;border-color:#26282a;color:#26282a;"> 
</p>

<p style="font-size:1rem;word-spacing:1px;margin:0in;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;border-color:#26282a;color:#26282a;">Mason went from a local emergency room to a top Northeast children’s hospital (hospital to remain disclosed for privacy and safety, if you know Mason’s location we kindly ask that you do not share). But located in a different state then his home state. He has had countless tests, they now need to use an ultrasound to locate veins on him, he is lethargic, in and out of consciousness, hooked up to multiple lines, on and off oxygen, swollen, undergone IVIG treatments resulting in fluid on his heart and in his belly, treatments to raise his blood pressure, steroid treatments causing him rage and so much more that I know I am missing.
</p>

<p style="word-spacing:1px;margin:0in;font-size:medium;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;border-color:#26282a;color:#26282a;"> 
</p>

<p style="font-size:1rem;word-spacing:1px;margin:0in;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;border-color:#26282a;color:#26282a;">Where we are now:
</p>

<p style="word-spacing:1px;margin:0in;font-size:medium;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;border-color:#26282a;color:#26282a;"> 
</p>

<p style="font-size:1rem;word-spacing:1px;margin:0in;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;border-color:#26282a;color:#26282a;">Mason’s diagnosis is MIS-C (Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in Children), a heart that is not pumping sufficiently and pneumonia, both resulting from COVID- just when the Mortons thought their COVID fears could be put to rest. They are saying there has to be more because even with treatment his condition keeps getting worse. They are now testing him for sepsis. Raheem is coming home on emergency leave, I can’t share more on that just yet for security reasons, but yes he will be able to be by Monica and Mason’s side in the hospital. The other 2 Morton babes are with family in NY that has taken time from work to be Monica’s support system in this terrible nightmare. 
</p>

<p style="word-spacing:1px;margin:0in;font-size:medium;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;border-color:#26282a;color:#26282a;"> 
</p>

<p style="font-size:1rem;word-spacing:1px;margin:0in;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;border-color:#26282a;color:#26282a;">What we are asking:
</p>

<p style="word-spacing:1px;margin:0in;font-size:medium;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;border-color:#26282a;color:#26282a;"> 
</p>

<p style="font-size:1rem;word-spacing:1px;margin:0in;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;border-color:#26282a;color:#26282a;">No one likes to ask for help in this way and we hate that it comes down to money especially when it has to do with the life of a child, but here we are. 
</p>

<p style="word-spacing:1px;margin:0in;font-size:medium;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;border-color:#26282a;color:#26282a;"> 
</p>

<p style="font-size:1rem;word-spacing:1px;margin:0in;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;border-color:#26282a;color:#26282a;">Raheem was fortunately able to get a very last minute flight, but this came with a $2,000 price tag. That is in addition to meals and travel expenses for Monica and family members caring for Maddox and Nori and all of the back and forth between the 3 states. Not to mention the Morton family car that needs to be repaired or replaced when the family finally gets settled back home. We currently have no timeline for Mason’s discharge from the hospital, but children diagnosed with MIS-C have not had less than a week’s stay. The doctors still know so little about COVID and MIS-C so it has all been a guessing game. The Morton’s February bill money and small savings they have has been depleted and this is just the beginning of expenses they will accrue. Please help out this military family if you can and please keep them in your thoughts and prayers. The Mortons and their village thank you so much and are already blown away by the support through kind words and encouragement. 
</p>

<p style="word-spacing:1px;margin:0in;font-size:medium;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;border-color:#26282a;color:#26282a;"> 
</p>

<div style="font-size:1rem;font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;word-spacing:1px;border-color:#26282a;color:#26282a;">This is also a reminder to keep our babies close to us, life is too short and these moments with our babies are fleeting.

<p>Christopher entered into rest on January 13, 2021 after a sudden heart attack. He was 28 years old. Chris was an outstanding uncle to his nephew Hayden. He cared about others deeply. Chris had an unforgettable laugh, and a smile like no other. Chris is survived by his parents Katrina and Robert Giza, and his father Vincent McGann, his brother and sisters, Vincent McGann, Jade Rico, Dianna Ryer, Victoria Ryer, Jessica Giza, and his nephews Hayden and Grayson. In this unexpected tragedy any help would be appreciated as no one should have to worry about expenses at this time of loss.

<strong>Rodney will Live Forever in our Hearts</strong><br /><br /><br />On January 2, a beautiful, loving, and kind 14-year-old boy unexpectedly left this earth. Rodney was a quiet, gentle boy who loved his family and was definitely considered a momma's boy. He played bass guitar and saxophone in the school band. He loved nature, especially animals. During his free time, he would take care of his pet turtle “Luigi,” his bird “Bluegaloo,” and his yellow gecko “Banana.” He was always concerned about stray animals and worried for kids that were left by themselves. Rodney was everyone's guardian angel. <br /><br /><br />We still cannot believe that he is gone. It seems like only yesterday Rodney was dancing and laughing with everyone at his great aunt’s 80th birthday.  Rodney’s mom, Adriana, is my first cousin and we have always been close as a family. Before COVID, we would get together at family gatherings on a regular basis. This tragedy has impacted us all extremely hard. <br /><br /><br />In 2019, Rodney was sadly adjusting to his sister going off to college and also entering his last year of middle school. Then, COVID came. Life changed even more dramatically. Rodney lost the connection to his classmates as learning moved online. Transitioning into the first year of high school is very difficult, mentally and emotionally, in and of itself. It is hard to imagine how tough this would be during COVID. As a result, Rodney became more withdrawn. This message is grim but it is a harsh reminder of how important mental health issues are, especially during these unprecedented times. <br /><br /><br />Words cannot express the pain a mother and father feel by having to bury their child. Death, especially a suicide, is unimaginably heart-wrenching. As a parent, you feel responsible. Not only are you heartbroken over the loss of your child, you continually ask yourself, “What did I do wrong, what could I have done?” It is a lot to live with. <br /><br /><br />This fundraising campaign was created in hopes of helping Adriana and Rodney Sr. Moore grieve with minimal financial burden. The family is already overwhelmed by the financial impact of COVID, as many of us are. They need to bury their precious son, grandson, brother, and friend. More specifically, the fundraiser donations will be used to assist with the following expenses: ambulance and ER bills, burial/memorial costs, relocation of the family to a new residence, and financial relief for approximately 3 months to allow them to grieve. Adriana and Rodney will be the beneficiaries of all the donations from this fundraiser. The beneficiaries have authorized me to withdraw the funds from GoFundMe and transfer them into their account. As the family is mourning, they have asked to not be part of handling the transfer of the donations. <br /><br /><br />Your support for his family is greatly needed at this time. If able to, we ask that you please donate or if not, to at least share to help relieve his family of the financial burden of this tragedy. But more importantly, we ask for prayers. Anything you can give would be kind and greatly appreciated. We will be forever grateful. <br /><br /><br />Thank you for your blessings, kind words, and generosity. We would also like to thank the support from the local community.

Recently our good friend Karl got hit by a landscaping truck while on his Harley.  Luckily, he's awake but sustained severe injuries and needs several surgeries. He has a broken orbital bone, fractured jaw, missing teeth, broken arm, femur, and c5 spine injury. For anyone that knows Karl, he's the last person to ask for help--as he lives to help others--but this is a time where we need to all come together to support him.<br />The funds from this page will go to aid Karl and his family with any medical expenses. These next few months are going to be tough mentally and physically so we are trying to help aid in any way possible. Thank you any amount helps!

During birth our <strong>Emilia Grace </strong>daughter got stuck and suffered brain  damage. The neurologist doctors have informed us there was a lack of oxygen to the left side of her brain that controls the movement and learning, there was also a good amount of bleeding on her brain. This was due to her having a newborn stroke. There was a blood clot that traveled to her brain causing the  injuries that lead to the seizures and further complications she’s been having. They do not have all the answers yet on how it could effect her but they have informed us the cerebral palsy is a major possibility and we should be prepared for that. There are other better outcomes but we will not know for months or even years if this will effect her permanently . We do not know how long we will be here in Albany med for but we will not leave our daughter no matter what we will figure it out. All donations will be going to all medical bills for emi and to help her with what ever special needs she might need. Thank you and please keep my daughter in your prayers.

Christina and Shane has went through something no parent should ever go through. May 24,2020 they laid their baby boy down for a nap, and unfortunately he did not wake up. Anthony Jon Gunser was taken from earth due to SIDS. Nobody should have to worry about anything in this time. If you could help out the parents of an angel and lighten their worries a bit, I’m sure they will be more than thankful!

<p><strong>Update: After almost two years of launching this campaign to protect frontline workers and assist people in need during the Covid-19 pandemic with PPE and other critical medical supplies, we are shifting how we accept donations. As of February 3, 2022, we are no longer be accepting donations to our GoFundMe page. <br /><br />To continue supporting our work, please visit our donation page at www.flexport.org/donate-now  <br /><br />To learn more about this campaign and the incredible reach around the world, scroll down to the Updates section on this page.<br /><br />Thank you for your support! <br /><br />--<br /><br /></strong>Currently, Flexport.org is focusing all our resources on getting critical supplies to frontline responders combating COVID-19. <br /><br /><strong>Here’s the problem:</strong><br />There’s a shortage of masks, gowns, gloves and other critical supplies to protect our medical professionals in hospitals across the world. If a member of hospital staff catches the virus, their health is at serious risk, and they cannot work for at least 14 days. That’s a major problem. <br /><br />We need to protect frontline responders. More responders on the frontline means more capacity at our hospitals, and more people will get the care they need.<br /><br />"Our doctors, nurses and hospital staff are the real action heroes of this crisis. I just play one in the movies. We have an opportunity and a responsibility to provide them with personal protective equipment right now to keep them safe as they fight this virus, so when I heard about Flexport.org’s plan, this was a no-brainer to me," said Arnold Schwarzenegger. "With all of the courageous work they are doing on the frontlines to keep us safe, buying a few hundred thousand masks with a million dollars is the least I can do. Please take a moment to join me in supporting our heroes.”<br /><br />Nearly every major international company on the planet who can help is working on this specific problem or has offered their support. Unfortunately, there is a lot more work to do.<br /><br />There’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes to move something from point A to point B, but it’s essentially a four step process: <br /><br />1. Manufacturers make the supplies. <br />2. Trucks get the supplies to the airport or ocean ports. <br />3. Cargo planes and ships will bring supplies to the nearest hub. <br />4. Trucks will pick up the supplies and deliver them to the hospitals. <br /><br />Flexport.org supports all of these companies and makes the process move as quickly as possible, enabling organizations to deliver aid and make an impact. We’re at the point of intersection for companies to move critical supplies from the factory and get them to frontline responders. <br /><br />Hospitals and medical centers tell us where we need to surge resources. We’re working with every major trucking company, airline, medical supplier and everyone in between.  <br /><br /><br /><strong>Here’s how we’re solving this problem:</strong><br />Last week we helped MedShare donate 60,000 surgical masks, 34,000 gloves, 2,000 surgical gowns and 50 thermometers to San Francisco’s Department of Public Health.<br /><br />We need to do more.<br /><br />Fortunately, masks, gowns and equipment are cheap. Unfortunately, transporting them isn’t free. Big companies have stepped up and have made large contributions to provide these goods and we are committed to getting them where they need to go. <br /><br /><br /><strong>How can you help?</strong><br />If you want to help frontline responders in our hospitals, chip in $25, $50, $100, or whatever you can afford.<br /><br />If you’re a business owner and you have the means to take action, make a large tax-deductible donation.<br /><br />Donations go toward the Flexport.org Fund, managed by our grantmaking partner CAF America, and are used to cover the cost of transportation for organizations responding to the crisis.<br /><br />One of the most important things we can do is protect our frontline responders. We need to protect them so they can protect us. <br /><br />Thanks for your consideration.<br /><br />As the need evolves, so will our response. We’ll help medical providers access what they deem as the priority, including needs such as testing kits, thermometers, ventilators, and medicines. We’ll continue to support at-risk communities through food access or other basic necessities.<br /><br />--<br /><br />Update: As of Spring 2021, this campaign is still supporting Flexport.org’s global COVID-19 relief efforts. Through the support of donations, we have delivered over 54 million units of masks, food aid, medical and relief supplies to 5 continents around the world. Learn more about our impact last year.<br /><br />Donations help our partner organizations to transport relief supplies to communities in need, such as oxygen concentrators and medical supplies to India, and food aid to families in the US. As COVID-19 cases evolve and peak in different regions around the world, Flexport.org works to ship critical supplies to communities.<br /><br />--<br /><br /><br /><em>By making a donation to this campaign, you understand that your donation is going toward the Flexport.org Fund at CAF America.

 I’m reaching out to ask for help for my sister, who is going through a difficult and unexpected pregnancy complication.
</div>
<div>
 <strong>At just 26 weeks pregnant, she was admitted to the hospital with a pregnancy complication and has been told she will need to remain hospitalized for monitoring until 34 weeks, when she will deliver her baby.</strong>
</div>
<div>
 That means weeks away from home, away from her fiancé and her son, while carrying the constant worry about her health and her baby’s health.
</div>
<div>
 <strong>Unfortunately, despite being unable to work and having a growing family to support, she does not qualify for financial assistance because, in their words, “all her needs are being met” while she is inside the hospital.</strong> But the bills at home don’t stop. And financially, this is only part of the burden. The emotional and mental toll of being hospitalized for weeks, separated from your child and family, is something no mother should have to carry alone.
</div>
<div>
 <strong>Once the baby arrives, there will still be a long road ahead. Because of how early the baby will be born, a NICU stay is expected, meaning more time apart and even more uncertainty for their family.</strong>
</div>
<div>
 We are asking for help so my sister can focus on what matters most right now: keeping herself and her baby as healthy as possible. Any amount donated will help ease the financial pressure and allow her to spend these weeks focusing on her health and her baby instead of worrying about how the bills will get paid.
</div>
<div>
 If you are able to donate, please know that it means more than we can put into words. If you aren’t able to donate, simply sharing this GoFundMe can make a huge difference. Thank you for supporting my sister and her family during this time.
