This “Good News fund” is set up in order for Father Edmund Nadolny to continue doing his life’s work…giving to those in need and reaching millions of souls with his Billboards throughout Connecticut.  Over 2 million cars per month drive by his Billboards with messages about Jesus and Mary – reminding them that they are loved and not alone.  Father Ed's personal phone number is on those billboards!  After 60 years of being a priest he continues on with his “Parish Without Borders” spirit by helping so many more people who pass by those boards and call for help, for prayer, or just to say thank you for reminding me to pray.  <br /><br />Billboards are expensive and Father Ed needs donations to keep them up in order for him to reach others and for them to reach out to him for assistance.  Please help by donating whatever you can – perhaps on a monthly basis; every dollar goes towards helping others.  Thank you!<br /><br /><strong>Father Ed Nadolny doesn't just talk about Jesus – he walks His path with untiring dedication and love for all.  He is an inspiration and guiding light for certain in this very uncertain world. Please give what you can so that Father Ed can continue his life’s mission to help others.  Thank you!</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://fathernadolnygoodnews.com/pb/wp_05188333/wp_05188333.html">Father Ed's website</a>      <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Good-News-Fund-1802354870010932/">Father Ed's Facebook Page</a>

Father Nadolny's Good New Fund

<div>I am Jeff Metcalf. My son, <strong>Austin Metcalf, was tragically stabbed today at a school track meet</strong>. They were not able to save him. He was a bright young man with a great future ahead of him. He was a leader of men. His smile would light up the room. His passion for football was unbelievable. Voted team MVP this past season and carried a 4.0 GPA. He was looking forward to taking his game to the next level. His commitment, dedication, leadership, and sheer grit made him rise to the level of success that he desired. His twin brother, Hunter, played beside him. We will all remember him for the way he impacted others' lives. I love you forever, son. It's not goodbye, it's see you later. God will take care of us till we meet again. RIP. Love, Dad

</div>

Honoring Austin Metcalf: Help His Family Heal

<div>Hi, my name is Anisa, and I’m a mom to two incredible boys who mean everything to me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Both of my children have special needs, and my car is absolutely essential to our everyday life. My oldest son is medically complex and requires ongoing care, and my youngest son is autistic and attends Aba therapy that is helping him grow and thrive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recently, my car broke down unexpectedly, and I was devastated to learn the repairs will cost around $3,000. Right now, I simply cannot afford it on my own. Currently, Our vehicle has 200k miles on it and we have been told it would be better to get a new vehicle. The car could break down again after repairs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a full-time special needs mom, transportation is not a luxury for us — it is a necessity. My car is how I get my children to therapies, specialist appointments, medical visits, school, and daily needs. Without reliable transportation, I’m terrified of falling behind on the care and support my boys depend on.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I do everything I can for my children every single day, but this situation has become overwhelming financially. Asking for help is incredibly hard for me, but right now I truly need support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any donation, no matter the amount, would mean more than words can express and would go directly toward repairing our vehicle so I can continue caring for my boys without interruption.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would help our family so much.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for reading our story, supporting our family, and helping a special needs mom keep going for her children during one of the hardest seasons we’ve faced.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With love and gratitude,
</div>

<div># Help Leo Rebuild His Life After a Cruel Attack

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>On May 1, 2026, something heartbreaking happened to Leo in Baltimore.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Leo was sitting quietly, eating a meal, trying to get through another difficult day while living unhoused. Out of nowhere, a group of young men approached him and began verbally attacking him. Then, in an act of pure cruelty, they kicked the food right out of his hands while he sat there helpless and humiliated.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>No one deserves to be treated that way.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Especially not Leo.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Leo is not dangerous. He is not a bad person. He is a human being battling schizophrenia while trying to survive life on the streets. Beneath the hardship, confusion, and pain is a kind soul who deserves compassion, dignity, and support — not ridicule and abuse.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>For many people, schizophrenia is invisible until it becomes impossible to ignore. It affects the way Leo experiences the world every single day. Without stable housing, proper medical care, consistent meals, or emotional support, managing his condition becomes even harder. What happened on May 1 was not just an attack on a vulnerable man — it was a painful reminder of how easily society overlooks people who are suffering.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We are creating this fundraiser because <strong>Leo cannot continue facing this alone.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The goal is to help Leo take the first real steps toward stability, healing, and safety. Funds raised will go toward:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>* Safe temporary and long-term housing

</div>

<div>* Mental health treatment and psychiatric care

</div>

<div>* Medication and medical support

</div>

<div>* Food and daily essentials

</div>

<div>* Clean clothing and hygiene supplies

</div>

<div>* Transportation to appointments and services

</div>

<div>* Assistance rebuilding his independence and quality of life

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Every donation, no matter the size, is a statement that <strong>Leo matters.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you have ever struggled, felt unseen, or wished someone would simply show kindness during your darkest moment, please consider helping Leo today. Even sharing this campaign can make a tremendous difference.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>A warm meal should never be kicked away from someone who already has so little.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Let’s show Leo that there are still people, a village, in this world who care. Let’s help him find safety, treatment, stability, and hope again.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for reading, sharing, donating, and standing beside Leo during one of the hardest moments of his life.

</div>

Standing with Leo After a Cruel Attack

<div>Hello, my name is Alice, I became homeless a back in June of 2025 with my son and sister. My sister and I are seniors with health issues, I have COPD, osteoporosis, and arthritis. My sister has heart issues and my son has severe neck problems that needs surgery after the one he already had. We all have more then that but that’s the serious issues. My son does not work right now and he is trying to get disability. My sister and I are not in the best of health but we are fighters and do work. We lived on Long Island but after the death of my husband we went to Texas we were staying with a friend, getting ready to get our own place , but after 10 months my brother, on Long Island got sick and he asked us to move in with him. l spent my money coming back and also helping him. He was going to put me on the house, but he died within a few months suddenly so he never got to put me on the house. We had to leave after 5 months back in June when my nephew kicked us out so he could sell it. We have been trying to save to get a place but between our cars needing repairs and health issues we haven’t been able to save. We have had some help from the kindness of strangers and some family but with our health issues it’s getting harder to live in our cars. My mission is to get us a home that me and my sister can live in while we live out our twilight years and leave something behind for my son, who should have had that already in Texas from what me and my husband had left. We have tried on our own but at this point for our survival and dignity we must ask others for help in getting up. Any and all support from the good people of this world will help cover any and all problems we have while trying to get us to our goal of owning a house that can be our home. 
</div>

Help Alice and Family Find a Safe Home

My daughter, who has profound autism, is currently in crisis. Her self-injurious behaviors have become so intense that I often have to take time off work to be with her, and I have already used up all of my paid time off. Sometimes, the only way to keep her safe is to drive with her for hours—sometimes up to 7 or 8 hours at a time—because being in the car is the place where she does the least harm to herself. The cost of gas for these trips adds up quickly, and it’s becoming harder to manage financially. 
<br>
<br>
 Her father and I are now staying at her group home almost 24 hours a day because she needs at least two people with her at all times to try to keep her head safe from smashing it into the ground or walls over and over again. The group home only allows one staff member, and one person simply cannot keep her safe. We have had to have two staff removed for serious allegations, so she is even more short-staffed. My husband and I are getting no sleep, and the lack of help for her is devastating. Over the last month and a half, we have taken her to the ER multiple times, and she has had two CT scans of her head due to severe trauma from her self-injuries. It is an extremely dangerous situation. 
<br>
<br>
 To make things even more difficult, the agency that funds her group home is refusing to pay for a treatment center that she desperately needs. This center is not only essential for her safety, but it’s also the best chance we have to understand what’s causing these behaviors and to help her return to her baseline. Unfortunately, her current group home is not able to keep her safe, and without the right support, her situation could get even worse. If the agency continues to refuse funding, I may have to pursue legal action to get her the help she needs, which would bring additional costs. 
<br>
<br>
 I am reaching out for help to cover travel expenses, lost wages from missing work, and potential legal fees. Even if you can’t donate, I would be so grateful if you could share this fundraiser with as many people as possible. Thank you so much for your help and consideration.

Help My Daughter Get Critical Autism Care

<div>On December 24th, our dog was rushed to the hospital after her hind legs stopped working as she was presenting neurological damage and incordination. The vet has let us know that our dog is showing signs of being poisoned by a rodenticide and will need therapy and more medications so she can continue living a happy life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lucky is the youngest member of our family. She is a 5 year old chihuahua with lots of energy and love. She unfortunately got intoxicated with rat poisoning she found outside somewhere and treatment is too expensive for us right now.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We took her to the vet as soon as possible and we were told that her costs will be upwards to $3,000.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We want more than anything for her to go through her therapies and spend the holidays with her. All funds will go to her treatments and check ups.
</div>

URGENT Care for Lucky’s Poison Treatment

<div><strong>Honoring Peanut and Fred Through Compassionate Rescue</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is with profound sorrow that we announce the loss of our beloved Peanut the squirrel and Fred the raccoon. On October 30th, the DEC made the devastating decision to euthanize these precious animals, despite our heartfelt pleas for compassion.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In memory of Peanut and Fred, we want to shine a light on the mission of P’nuts Freedom Farm, which tirelessly rescues and provides care for vulnerable animals. Their lives were a testament to the importance of compassion and kindness toward all creatures, and we are committed to honoring them by continuing this vital work.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are incredibly grateful for our generous community, which has rallied to provide free legal representation to support our cause. This legal support will empower us to demand accountability from the DEC and advocate for a more compassionate approach to wildlife management.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All proceeds from our fundraising efforts will directly benefit the rescue and care of other animals at P’nuts Freedom Farm, ensuring that we can continue to provide a safe haven for those in need. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that no other animals suffer a fate like Peanut and Fred.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for standing with us in this important mission. Your support helps us create a brighter future for all the animals we rescue in their honor.

Help Us Build Peanut and Fred’s Kingdom

Hi. You might be here from the semi-viral video on Tiktok making a lighthearted joke about the fact that my dad had a stroke watching the presidential debate last night. This sparked an explosion of both sympathetic and funny comments that truthfully made my night a bit easier. 

However, after further discussion and airlifting him to a bigger hospital with neuro specialists, we are actually dealing with a brain bleed. This is a bit worse, as it has left him unable to talk or walk. My dad is the only working person in my family, as he worked hard his entire life to give my mother the luxury of being a stay at home wife and mother to me (the only child). 

I’m glad to receive the support from the Tiktok I made trying to poke fun at the situation, but now that it is a bit more serious, commenters have suggested making a Gofundme. We have been quoted $25k for the helicopter airlift, and already had to pay $1,000 upfront. We have no idea how much more costs will be as he will potentially have a lengthy stay in the ICU, as well as needing rehab, physical therapy, and speech therapists to learn how to function again. We do have 80/20 insurance coverage that has kicked in, but I’ve estimated the suggested treatments totaling over $100,000 or more. Regardless, my family could use some help. Any money donated will go directly to paying for medical bills and rehabilitation, as well as any supplies/clothes/treatments needed to make his healing process easier. 

Thank you so much for your time. I will post updates whenever I know anything on here.

<div>Hi, my name is Ilia Carson -Letelier and I am raising money to educate the children of Cape Maclear Malawi. This is a community with a high percentage of orphans due to Malaria. I have already purchased a one acre plot of land and started the building process. I will be building an orphanage, small, self-contained homes for single mothers, with children and homes for widows. In addition, all the children living at the site will be attending the private school in the local village as the public schools are very overcrowded with about 100 children per classroom. Chipatso means a gift in the local language, often a gift of fruit. I would like to offer this project as a gift to this community.
</div>
<div>I am already sponsoring 10 children in school and my very first college graduate, Kimzy Often, is helping me to manage this project. Without him I could never do this.
</div>
<div>All funds will be directly used for building materials, labor for the construction of the buildings and associated costs such as digging septic tanks, installing solar power, as electricity is extremely unreliable here, and appliances and furnishings. I am very excited about this project and the differences it will make in the lives of the local people here.
</div>

<div>L-R-Kimzy Often &amp; Christopher Yotam are two of our scholars. Kim just graduated university and will be staying on as our Project Manager. Christopher is helping for the summer and in the fall will return to school to finish his last year of high school.

<div>These are some of the many curious children that hang out watching us work here in Cape Maclear. We hope to be able to pay for some of them to attend private elementary school here in the local village. The nearly $200 it costs for a child to attend a year of private elementary school is cost prohibitive for nearly all families in this village.

<div>These two mothers and their children will be the first to occupy the single mothers self contained housing units once they are built. We will be building four of these units and we will sponsor their children to attend the local private elementary school.

<div>In late November of 2023, my partner Jordan Sauceda, who is only 22 years old, was diagnosed with B-Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, a blood cancer. Never in a million years would we have thought that this would happen to us. Nothing in life prepares you to hear that your loved one has cancer. Jordan has been an amazing young father to our four-year-old daughter Ava since day one. He is such a selfless, hardworking, humble, supportive and loving individual, who’ve I had the honor to be with since we were 16 and 17. It’s still a struggle for me accepting that this is happening to him, the love of my life. We trust God, however. We firmly believe this will be apart of Jordan’s testimony, that he will get through this and that we will grow old together!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have spent many weeks getting treatment away from home and our daughter Ava since his diagnosis. I’ve been with him every single day and night at the hospital for chemotherapy treatment, to remind him that he’s not alone. His fight is our fight. I’ve had to learn how to be a nurse when we are allowed to be home. We acknowledge we have a journey ahead of us. The goal for Jordan is to get a bone marrow transplant in the future. On top of our monthly expenses, medical bills and travel costs are mounting. We humbly ask for your help with these costs, but more than a donation, we ask for everyone’s prayers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When we started treatment in late November, right off the bat, the doctor told us that Jordan could be infertile after all of this was over. I was distraught. I cried countless of times. We had always said that we would give Ava at least one other sibling when the time was right, in a few years. It felt like another big hit to our family to hear these words come out of the doctor’s mouth. Little did we know that a week into Jordan’s treatment we would find out that we were already expecting baby #2 all along and most recently we found out that it’s a boy! This news has brought us, his family, and my family something to look forward to, it’s given us strength. It’s a blessing for sure and a reminder that if you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.
</div>

<div>Hi my name is Natalyah Mans aka Natalia Grace and I recently moved out and I'm saving money to get my own house so I can have a personal place of my own and I am wanting to start my own photography business to create a fun and awesome way to have fun and do what I love which is taking pictures and creating memories for myself and other people! I am doing this so I can have a fresh start in life as an adult and get past everything that happened in my life! I have a type of dwarfism called Diastrophic Dysplasia, is a form of dwarfism that has many serious issues which often require surgery. I'll likely have to have major spine surgery and even more surgery on my legs.

</div>

<div>The costs associated with these surgeries are in excess of $500,000 because the specialist does not accept my medical insurance. The first treatment I need is to have my spine corrected as if I leave it too long it could lead to paralysis and incontinence.

</div>

<div>I would like to make enough to at least put a deposit on my own place and start a business to start earning some money so I can start saving for this expensive treatment, however if I reach over my goal I will be able to put that towards the treatment I require to give me a better chance at getting enough to cover it. I also need to get a lawyer to get my papers that I need to get my ID so I can be able to do everything i need to do to that involves an ID! 
</div>

<div>To all who have stuck by me through all of this, I cannot thank you enough!I love y'all ❤️

<div>For millions of Americans, one unexpected crisis—such as a lost job, an unexpected medical bill, or a broken-down car—spells disaster.

<div>Thank you so much to everyone who has donated for your empathy, support, and genuine kindness. I will never forget your generosity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ever since the fire we have had everyone in our community come together and take care of us in every way. Our neighbors and friends have already replaced so many of the things we’ve lost, provided us a place to stay as long as we need to, gotten us food, shoes, clothes, gift cards and literally everything else we need right now.

<div>That said, <strong>we would love to pay it forward to other folks who are in need right now ahead of the holidays.</strong> Since my family and I are completely taken care of now, we plan on transferring funds raised here to the <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/funds/essentials" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">GoFundMe.org<em> Essentials Fund</em></a>.

<div><strong>Here's How the Essentials Fund Works</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>01 - People start fundraisers for help with essentials like rent, food and utilities.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>02 - GoFundMe.org, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, verifies eligible fundraisers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>03 - Your donation gets distributed to help as many people as possible.

</div>
<div>GoFundMe.org is a 501(c)(3) public nonprofit with a mission to provide fast and effective relief to people, communities, and nonprofits. GoFundMe.org strives to eliminate the paradox of choice for donors by providing a centralized place to give, knowing that those dollars are dispersed to credible organizations and people.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since 2017, GoFundMe.org has raised over $140 million for distribution. Given GoFundMe.org’s high efficiency, $0.96 of every dollar you donate on this page goes directly to those who need them, not administrative expenses.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>GoFundMe.org is an independently run nonprofit (EIN: 81-2279757), distinct from GoFundMe, the for-profit company that operates the GoFundMe fundraising platform. GoFundMe supports the operations of GoFundMe.org by sharing resources, funds, tools, and employees to raise and distribute funds in a low-cost and effective manner. GoFundMe.org operates independently and maintains its own board.

<div>hello everyone. Most of you know that I have an intellectually disabled adult child. It recently came to my attention that, while under the care of her other parent, my daughter has not only been medically neglected, but also financially exploited. She is now in my full-time care, and in my home away from the person who has treated her so horribly. I’m asking for assistance to get legal guardianship, and conservatorship of my daughter to make sure she is safe and protected. The person who has mistreated her is currently under investigation by Adult Protective Services.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The retainer for the attorney is $5,000 to even get the process started. I normally would not even ask for this kind of help but I need to get this done as soon as possible and we currently just do not have $5000 to drop on attorney. If you cannot donate, sharing this would be much appreciated. I need as many eyes on this as possible. This is the only way I can make sure she stays in my care and safe from those who would harm her further.

<div>As you may already know Lahaina has been destroyed. My sister, niece and brother-in-law have lost their home and have little to no resources at this time. However, they do all have each other, along with their beloved pets. We are currently asking for support to help them take a plan of action for next steps, as well as rebuilding a foundation to plant their feet once the dust settles.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My Sister and Silver are two of the most loving human beings, they are true pioneers and extremely brave. They recently opened up their business of Kealani’s Juice Co. and poured all of their hard work investing into their dream. We are saddened that just as they started this new journey it is all being ripped from beneath them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any donation, large or small, is going towards an amazing cause and an incredible family. We thank you for your support and help during these troubled times. Please keep the Aly Family in your prayers . We will continue to keep you updated, as we still have limited contact with them.

</div>
<div>Words aren’t enough to tell you all thank you for the donations you have made. We have a long road ahead but your support has given us a pathway to new beginnings.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We were denied FEMA due to being homeowners. Currently, we are trying to navigate through each day to figure out what to do for work. “Kealani’s Juice Co” is currently not operating due to the aftermath of the Maui Fire.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since Kealani’s school was burned down, we are trying to find her placement in a new school, as well as trying to find permanent housing for us. We love you all so much and so grateful for everyone helping lift us up during this dramatic time.
