<div>A couple months ago, I went in for stomach pain, not expecting anything serious. After some tests, doctors found two 3mm tumors in my stomach, and the diagnosis came back as Stage 2 stomach cancer. I had surgery to remove the tumors which was successful and am now on oral chemotherapy. The treatment has been tough—fatigue, nausea, cramping, skin sensitivity, and just feeling emotionally and physically drained have made it really hard to keep up with work and daily life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m a flight attendant, and while I’ve been cleared to work, the side effects make it nearly impossible to do my job safely. I usually fly 170-200 hours a month (about 7-8 trips), but now I’m down to maybe two trips a month—just enough to keep my insurance and benefits. Even though I’ve met my deductible, the out-of-pocket costs are still high, and my reduced hours mean I’m struggling to cover basic expenses.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m not someone who usually asks for help, but sometimes you just need to suck up your pride and ask. My main focus is to work on my health and beat this with a positive outlook. Any support you can give—no matter how small—means the world to me as I fight to get back on my feet. Thank you so much for reading and for any help you can offer.

Support for Cancer Recovery & Lost Wages

<div>My name is Chris Redden. Along with many others, we are seeking to raise awareness and support for Captain Doug Hancock and his family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Doug is a 25-year American Airlines pilot and a longtime volunteer with the Allied Pilots Association, the union representing AA pilots. He founded and led the Family Awareness Committee and served as both Vice Chairman and Chairman of the Charlotte crew base. In my role as Chief Pilot and Director of Flight, I had the privilege of seeing firsthand how deeply Doug cared for his fellow pilots. He is the kind of person who would do anything, at any time, to help someone in need.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, Doug needs our help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Doug was recently diagnosed with ALS. As many of you know, there is currently no cure for this devastating disease. He is undergoing an experimental treatment led by Dr. Chadwick Prodromos at the Prodromos Stem Cell Institute. After his first monthly treatment, there are already hopeful signs that the progression of the disease may be slowing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While this gives us hope, the reality is that these treatments are not covered by insurance. Each month costs approximately $5,000, in addition to travel expenses. There are also other potential treatments being explored that may add to the financial burden.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All funds raised will go directly toward Doug’s medical treatments, related expenses, and continued efforts to fight ALS.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Doug is a fighter. He will never give up.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please consider supporting Doug and his family during this incredibly difficult time. Any contribution, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your support, your prayers, and for standing with Doug.
</div>
<div><br />

Support Captain Doug Hancock in his Fight Against ALS

<div>Attention fellow Salukis and friends of Kim Carter!!!

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>One of our own could use some love and support. Some of us have known Kim Carter as our beloved flight team coach. He has also taught numerous classes and instructed so many of us through our flight certificates/ratings at SIU. I don’t think that there is a kinder person out there or one that was more vested in his students. In fact, I just recently saw Kim down in Carbondale and he pulled out a book with pictures of every student that he has ever instructed. We were so lucky to have him in our program.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This past December, Kim broke his hip and while hospitalized for that recovery, he found out that he has pancreatic cancer. To say that his family is devastated would be an understatement. <strong>This is a fight of epic proportions and he just started chemotherapy this past Monday.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We know the generosity of this group, which is why we are asking for your help!

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>First and foremost, Kim and his wife Christy have asked for prayers. They have found a wonderful cancer treatment center. Kim’s first goal is to make it through chemotherapy so that he can get surgery to remove the tumors. We also believe that Kim would truly feel loved if each of you could send a message and/or call him to say hi and tell him that you are thinking of him!

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Alicia Edmondson and I are coordinating a fund to be used for grocery deliveries, restaurant gift cards, and money for medical bills/prescriptions that are not covered by insurance.</strong> While Kim and Christy both use walkers to get around, I know that we can ease this time for them with deliveries!

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your help! We can’t think of a more deserving couple. Let’s surround them with prayers, love, and hope as they fight off this horrible cancer.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

Rally for Kim Carter: Beat Pancreatic Cancer

<div>Hi Friends,

</div>

<div>On October 12th, my husband Sam suffered a severe injury when a ladder collapsed beneath him, causing a hard fall. From our local ER, he was med-flighted to a larger hospital and admitted to the Surgical ICU (SICU). Thankfully, he didn’t require surgery, but he spent four days in intensive care and then several more days as an inpatient. Sam sustained fractures to four vertebrae, a rib, and his skull, along with multiple brain injuries. We feel incredibly grateful that he’s alive.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Sam is now home and recovering, and while he’s expected to make a full recovery, he has a long road ahead. Unfortunately, he’ll be unable to work for at least a year, potentially up to five years. I never imagined I would need to start a GoFundMe for our family, but I also never imagined my husband would face such a devastating injury.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We’re facing significant medical bills, including the cost of the med-flight, ICU stay, and many more expenses to come over an undetermined amount of time. Many people have kindly asked how they can support us during this time, and any amount you can contribute would be greatly appreciated.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you know Sam, you know he has always worked hard to advance others, through 15 years of union work at the airline, in his hobbies and in his community… and he's never asked for anything in return. But given the unknowns ahead, I’m going to ask on his behalf for any sort of support you might be able and willing to give.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity, and a big thank you to those who have already reached out directly wondering how you can help.

</div>

<div><br />

<div><strong>UPDATE: </strong>We have wrapped up our Election Week ULP Strike, having shown Times management the impact of our solidarity and unity. We're returning to work Tuesday and marching into the office together in the morning to push on with the next phase of our fight for a strong contract! Stay tuned — we're not done yet!
</div>
<div>---------------
</div>
<div><strong>UPDATE</strong>: We are officially on a multi-day ULP strike. We gave @nytimes management months of notice of our strike deadline, we made ourselves available around the clock, but the company has decided that our members aren’t worth enough to agree to a fair contract and stop committing unfair labor practices.
</div>
<div>---------------
</div>
<div>We, the Times Tech Guild, need your support to win a strong union contract with fair, equitable pay, job security, and protected hybrid/remote work! At the beginning of September, 95% of our members voted to authorize a strike. As we head into the final weeks of this Election season, we want the New York Times to hear us: <strong>We are ready to do whatever it takes to get to a fair deal.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are the <strong>600+ unionized tech workers of The New York Times </strong>— software engineers, product managers, data analysts, and designers. We power games like <em>Wordle</em>, <em>Connections</em> and <em>The Crossword</em>. We bring <em>new recipes</em> to your pocket and new <em>Audio</em> formats that make it easier to connect with the journalism we publish. We build, support and grow the numerous <em>NYT websites and apps </em>you know and love.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For over two years we have been bargaining for our first contract. At every turn, NYT management has dragged its feet, disrespected us, and even committed unfair labor practices (ULPs). <strong>We need a contract NOW!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our work is critical to The New York Times’ coverage of the US presidential election. But we need a strong contract to do our jobs effectively, and we are prepared to walk off the job and forgo our paychecks to win that contract.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re fighting against management proposals that would only give us 1% raises, leaving massive racial and gender disparities in pay unaddressed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We, meanwhile, are pushing for the following:
</div>
<ul>
<li>To address racial disparities in our pay. Currently, the median total compensation for Black employees (across roles in our unit) is $54k less than the median total compensation for white employees (across roles in our unit).
</li>
<li>To ensure that we have real job security. In the status quo, management has gone as far as to fire employees <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-new-york-times-sued-after-firing-disability-accessibility-manager-chandra-carney-needing-brain-surgery" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">days before a major brain surgery</a> , and has used performance improvement plans / PIPs (which are pretenses to fire employees) <a href="https://x.com/NYTGuildTech/status/1795465320594817148" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">in ways that are discriminatory</a>. Earlier this year, we learned that underrepresented groups are disproportionately targeted by management’s arbitrary disciplinary process. 2 out of 3 union members under management’s discipline are women and people of color, despite the fact that they comprise a smaller percentage of the overall workforce.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Going on strike means we lose our paychecks for the duration of the strike. While this is an important sacrifice in order to win a fair contract, many of our union members will need financial assistance, particularly those who are the primary earners for their families. No one deserves to face financial hardship for taking action with their coworkers. Your donations will help us win this fight.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>Striking Tech Guild members will be able to request funds, which will be disbursed by unit members Vicki Crosson and Riley Sykes. If we do not strike or need all of the funds raised, we will donate the extra money to another labor cause or strike fund. This fundraiser is member-led and is not affiliated with the NewsGuild, which may not raise money outside of the dues it collects from members.</em>
</div>

<div>Hey guys, one of our own needs some big support right now. <strong>This past week, Clayton lost his wife and soul mate very unexpectedly.</strong> Caytlyn was an amazing mother to three beautiful, young kids (Wyatt, Finn, and Penelope). It’s been an incredibly hard week, with lots of questions and little sleep…
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have started a <strong>GoFundMe</strong> for him to help get them through some tough roads ahead, especially with child care.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Clayton is a 737 Captain in CLT and resides in Indian Land, SC. 
</div>

Help Clayton's Family Through This Tough Time

<div>Anthony Martinelli brought so much light to the lives of his family, friends and community. Unfortunately, his life ended far too soon. The emptiness that he leaves behind is vast and we would like to request that the community support his family with donations to assist with their long journey towards peace and acceptance.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Anthony's family meant everything to him and they are utterly devastated to not share the rest of their lives with him. Specifically, his wife, Liz, will need community support and resources to continue to be the amazing mother she is to daughter, Avery (13 years) and son, AJ (2.5 years).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is heartbreaking to realize that we won't see Anthony's contagious smile around our community anymore. Money should not be a worry for any grieving family. Please consider giving generously to this fund to aid Liz and Anthony's family in their coming years and to remind them they are truly not alone in their grief.
</div>

In Memory of Anthony Martinelli

<div>On Monday evening our beautiful friend, mother, wife, daughter and sister went to be with our Lord after a valiant fight against breast cancer. She was an inspiration to so many who knew her. 



</div>



<div><br />
</div>



<div>She leaves behind her loving husband, Brian and her beautiful children, Ronan (9) and Annalie (5). 



</div>



<div><br />
</div>



<div>Please, let us come together as a community in support for this beautiful and loving family as they learn to navigate this new life. 



</div>



<div><br />
</div>



<div>All proceeds will go to the Seals family for therapy <span style="font-family:'-apple-system-body';">services for the children, summer activities/sports/recreational activities, nanny services, funeral/medical costs and any other support needed. Any amount would be a blessing.</span>


</div>



<div><br />
</div>



<div>I want to thank each and everyone one of you on behalf of the family, for reaching out and for your outpouring of love and prayers during this difficult time. 



</div>

Lilly is Loved

It is with a broken heart that we have to share the terrible news that Maddox Joseph LoPriore (8 1/2 years old) passed on to Heaven on October 17, 2018. He slipped into a diabetic coma due to Diabetic Ketoacidosis and a blood clot on his brain. He will now be another of God’s angels. “Madman” was a true force of nature and well loved by ANYONE  who met him. His final gift will be his organs to the Gift of Hope organization. They are being harvested in the next day. <br /><br />Visitation will be at Ringa Funeral Home in Lake Villa from 9 to 1 PM and the church services will be 2 PM at Prince of Peace also in Lake Villa, IL this Saturday, October 20th. <br /><br />His family has been through a harrowing experience in two different hospitals over the past week and it still resulted in his death. The funeral will not be the end of this disgusting ordeal; it’ll just  be the start of a very heartbreaking experience in paying hospital and funeral expenses for a family of 6 (3 of whom were diagnosed as Type 1 Diabetics) and all of them attempting  to reconcile this extremely sad loss of such a beautiful soul. Please help this family so that financial obligations don’t override their very painful and long grieving process. <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/33834802_1539862648130598_r.jpeg" alt="33834802_1539862648130598_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" />
