<div>I want to introduce you all to Ed Bambas, a man I met recently in a Detroit supermarket who completely humbled me. 


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Ed is 88 years old, an Army veteran, and he still works five days a week, eight hours a day. He has never received the pension he earned after a lifetime of hard work, and he lost his wife years ago.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Despite everything, Ed shows up every day with quiet dignity, strength, and perseverance. His story is a stark reminder that too many of our seniors, especially veterans face incredible challenges just to survive.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>I’m opening a fundraiser to help Ed live the life he deserves to finally give him some relief, comfort and the peace of mind that comes from knowing he can enjoy his later years without constant struggle. 


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Every dollar we raise will go directly to supporting him: helping with living expenses, medical care, and the small joys that make life meaningful.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Ed fought for his country, he worked his whole life, and now it’s our turn to fight for him. If you’ve ever been moved by someone’s courage, if you believe our elders and veterans deserve dignity, please consider contributing. Even sharing this story can help us reach more people who want to make a difference.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Let’s show Ed that the same bravery and commitment he gave to his country and community does not go unnoticed. ❤️


</div>

88 & Still Working:Let’s Support Veteran Ed Bambas

<div>On January 17th my niece, Kawekiu "Tee" was not feeling well and she decided to sleep in the guest bedroom. What she thought was a simple cold, was not. Her wife, Jessica woke up to find Tee convulsing on the floor. She was unresponsive and suffering one seizure after another. Tee was rushed to the ER and has been in the ICU at Queen's Medical Center ever since. Her seizures were so intense and frequent that her doctors decided that the best way stop them was to intubate her and put her in a drug induced coma. While in the coma her doctors ran a barrage of tests, hooked her up to an EEG machine, ordered MRI scans, X-Rays and ultrasounds and spinal taps, etc. Tee has endured several blood plasma transfusions and fighting pneumonia. She had surgery while in the coma in order to remove an ovary and both tubes for a suspected teratoma (a fibroid than can cause seizures.). However, there are no conclusive answers, and more tests and procedures are still to be done. The team of neurologists along with the Mayo Clinic team are still trying to determine the cause of the seizures, and Tee remains in the ICU with a long road ahead.
</div>
<div>Tee won't be able to work for sometime, or be allowed to operate a motor vehicle. Her wife, Jessica is also unable to work while caring for Tee, her medical condition and their two small children ages three and five.
</div>
<div>This family's medical and living expenses are piling up and they desperately need help. Would you please donate in any amount to help ease this tremendous burden? Please keep this beautiful family in your prayers and positive thoughts. We would be very grateful for your help and support. Thank you.
</div>
<div>Updates on Tee's recovery process will follow. (fundraiser is started by Tees aunt Theresa Razon using Mary's phone )
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>UPDATE:  Tee is out of ICU and beginning the long road to recovery and intensive regimen of physical therapy!! Tests still to be done and no definitive diagnosis as of this time... thank you for the continued support 
</div>

Help Tee and Family Through Crisis

<div>Hello everybody, my dad Gustavo was recently in a very bad car accident, which led to the hospitalization of him and surgery. <strong>He has 5 broken ribs, head trauma, and he had to have spinal cord surgery.</strong> He was in critical condition when he first crashed, so they had to fly him out in a helicopter from Frisco to Denver, where he is now. <strong>The medical bill is going to be very high and we don't have that kind of money.</strong> I ask you to please donate what you can to help me and my family out in this hard time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>I am the only one working to support my whole family since my dad is in recovery for a while.</strong>

<div>Hi my name is Matt Kissack my good friend Menno Miller went through a tragic loss losing two of his youngest daughters and the other daughter and son are hospitalized.

<div><strong>**UPDATE:</strong> This fundraiser was initially established to support a toy drive for Damar’s community, sponsored by the Chasing M’s Foundation. However, it has received renewed support in light of Damar’s current battle and we can’t thank all of you enough. Your generosity and compassion mean the world to us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As representatives of Damar, the team at Jaster Athletes posted the fundraiser updates and will work with the Hamlin family, The Chasing M's Foundation, and the GoFundMe team to ensure the safe delivery of funds.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Damar created The Chasing M’s Foundation to use as a vehicle to bring lasting impact to his community. The foundation supports toy drives, back-to-school drives, kids camps, and more. We're hopeful about Damar's future involvement in disbursing the incredibly generous contributions.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is the only current fund that is being used by the Hamlin Family. We appreciate your understanding as we give them the time and space they need to focus on Damar's health first.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Again, thank you for your thoughts, prayers and support during this time. <strong>UPDATE**</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>------------------------------------------------------------
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As I embark on my journey to the NFL, I will never forget where I come from and I am committed to using my platform to positively impact the community that raised me. I created The Chasing M's Foundation as a vehicle that will allow me to deliver that impact, and the first program is the 2020 Community Toy Drive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This campaign gives you the opportunity to contribute to our first initiative and positively impact children who have been hardest hit by the pandemic. 100% of the funds raised will go toward the purchase of toys for kids in need.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are not able to contribute monetarily, you can support this initiative in other ways. We are accepting donated toys at the Daycare Center or simply spread the word by sharing this fundraiser on your social channels.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for supporting me on and off the field. I am grateful to have the opportunity to work with you to help make the holiday season a little brighter for the kids in our community.

The Friedberg Family Fire Relief Fund

<div>Kelli Ranning Goodermont's life was tragically taken on March 15, 2022. We are all devastated over the unimaginable loss. On behalf of her friends and family, we are setting up this GoFundMe to provide financial support for her three daughters Chazidy, Siera and Taylor.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Kelli Ranning Goodermont, or as her friends have always called her, “Ranning,” was such an incredible spirit. She had such a quiet toughness about her while also having the sweetest, most thoughtful heart of anyone in the world. She would do anything for anyone at literally any time.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Her three beautiful children, Chaz, Siera &amp; Taylor were her world. They are now left without their main caretaker and support system, and we, as her friends, are desperate to try to provide some sort of support for them. Please help us keep them feeling as much love and support as possible.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Rest in peace, sweet Kelli. No more pain. No more hiding. No more hurt. Fly free and enjoy a better view from the peaceful skies. We will all be ready to give you hugs and love on the other side.<br /><br />This GoFundMe is organized by Kelli's friends from high school:  Allison "Triemert" Langerud, Traci "Thorsland" Kennedy and Kim "Snyder" Esso.   The funds raised will first be used to pay for Kelli's funeral and burial costs.   Any funds that are left over we will coordinate to be put in a trust for Kelli's daughters Chazidy, Siera and Taylor.<br /><br />

<p>My name is Jason Garza, I am a friend of the Soviak family. It’s made national news by now, but we all know that sadly Max Soviak was killed in the Kabul airport attack in Afghanistan. His family is going through much turmoil and grief so we wanted to start this fund in honor of Max and his family, to help with everything financial so they can focus on their family during this time of need.
</p>

<p> 
</p>

<p>Max was an Corpsman in the U.S. Navy who dreamed of being in the service since he was a child. Proudly serving his country while deployed, helping others throughout his career. He was always passionate about helping his fellow Americans and helping get those home safely during the evacuation of Afghanistan after its fall. Kip spoke often of his children, he was very proud of Max when he spoke of him and the things his son has accomplished.
</p>

<p> 
</p>

<p>Kip and Rachel Soviak, Max’s parents are well known in the surrounding community in Milan, Ohio. Proud supporters of their children who attended Edison. They are foster parents and have adopted several children throughout their lives. Kip and Rachel have always helped me, my family, and others throughout their lives with no expectation of gratitude. I myself have worked with Kip for years as a critical care RN, I want this fund to care for him and his family as he has done throughout his nursing career for all of his patients.
</p>

<p> 
</p>

<p>I will be attempting to reach out to news outlets to connect them here. Family and friends, please feel free to edit or add to Max’s story as you see fit.

Jeremy was unexpectedly taken away from his family.  He leaves behind his wife Delcie and their three kids; Clayton, K'Leigh, and Hunter. He was a wonderful husband, father, son, brother, and friend. Jeremy devoted his life to his family, he would do anything for them. 
I am setting up this fund to benefit my cousin Delcie and their three kids. We are asking for donations to help the Davis family with medical and memorial expenses along with everyday expenses as they adjust to life. Delcie has been added as the sole beneficiary of the funds that are raised for this campaign.

She trained with Ski and Snowboard Club Vail (SSCV). Tess has been competing on the World Cup tour at her family's expense since becoming the youngest woman ever named to the US Freestyle team at age 14. Last weekend, she had a 4th place finish at the final World Cup qualifying event. <br /><br />Tickets to the Opening Ceremonies are over $400 each. We don't want the Johnson Family to miss it!<br /><br />Let's get the Johnsons to South Korea to support Tess!
