<div>Feed Peoria is a grassroots project created to simultaneously 1) support local farmers and 2) to get fresh, nutrient dense vegetables to Peorians in need. To do this, we are partnering with <a href="https://www.henrysfarm.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Henry's Farm</a>, a family farm in Congerville, IL, and with Peoria's <a href="https://www.nhpeoria.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Neighborhood House</a>, a local nonprofit that serves Peoria in many ways, including meals on wheels and a food pantry.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation helps get 26 weeks of fresh, nutrient dense vegetables from Henry's Farm to Neighborhood House, and then to community members who would otherwise not have access to them. Our goal of $1,000 allows us to purchase 2 discounted CSA shares from Henry's Farm. (CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture, and one “share” is 7 to 9 different vegetables each week for 26 weeks from the end of May through Thanksgiving.) When we reach our goal of $1000, Henry has generously agreed to donate a 3rd share to the Neighborhood House Food Pantry for FREE!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So please help us reach our goal of $1,000 so we can get THREE full CSA shares of freshly harvested vegetables to Peorians in need every week for the next 26 weeks. Your donation of any amount is deeply appreciated and will go a long way in feeding our community. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As times continue to get more difficult for most Americans, we can depend on each other to help where it counts! Any contributions over $1,000 will be donated directly to Neighborhood House to further feed families in need. Thank you for your participation and generosity!

Feeding community members & supporting local farmers

<div>Hello! For those who may not know me, I am Lisa O’Connell, and Heidi and Nate are two of my dearest friends in the world. I’ve known Heidi since college, and she is easily the kindest, most caring and giving person I have ever known. I am fundraising for them because right now, they could use a little help from their friends!
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Heidi and Nate’s beautiful daughter made a speedy entry into this world on June 20th, 2021. Harrie was born at only 24 weeks’ gestation when her mom was lifeflighted for emergency C section due to development of preeclampsia in its most severe form, HELLP syndrome. Harrie weighed less than 1 pound when she was born, and was in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for 5 months. She’s fought every life-threatening battle and won, overcoming more in her few months of life so far than many people will over a whole lifetime! Harrie is by far the best thing to ever happen to her parents- she is the most treasured gift imaginable, and has already touched so many people with her courage, strength, and perseverance. Despite the many hurdles presented her, her doctors have said they have “high hopes for Harrie.” But much of the future is yet uncertain, and prolonged hospitalization and need for specialized home care have been and will be mentally, emotionally, and financially expensive for her family.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>During a time in their lives when they should be basking in the glow of their new family and celebrating the birth of their first child, life dealt Heidi and Nate some unexpected struggles as their daughter arrived way too early. As Heidi recovered from an emergency c-section to save her life, they started adjusting to the new norms of a caring for a micro preemie as well as the unanticipated financial impacts of this adventure…5 months in the NICU, medical expenses, travel expenses and juggling work schedules……all so worth it but putting them in a tough financial position. Please consider helping out this beautiful family. Funds will go to Harrie’s parents to support the costs of her needs and care. Thank you!

High Hopes for Harrie

Johnny Moreno, my friend since 5th grade was tragically killed by a police officer on June 12th, 2019. While an investigation into the shooting takes place, this Gofundme is meant to focus on his funeral costs and the three beautiful children he leaves behind: Jayden, Alexa Victoria and Joshua. 

The Officer who killed Johnny was outside of his jurisdiction and his life was NOT in danger as video evidence clearly shows.  He is currently awaiting indictment by a grand jury.

On May 29, 2017 I took my 13 year old son Trent to the ER thinking it was his appendix. After a CT scan the Doctor told us he had a mass on his left Kidney and Trent was rushed to Childrens Hospital in Peoria, IL. On June 1st he had tumor and left kidney removed. Later we found out after having a PET scan that the cancer had spread to his lungs, liver, and pubic bone. His cancer is called Ewings Sarcoma. He is doing chemo in Peoria and we are making weekly trips to clinic in Peoria. I have not worked since May 29th and don't plan to return until Trent's treatment is over which Doctors have told us he has a year of treatment. Please help if you can and share his story. Thanks so much!

Trent fights cancer

Jasper Bawcom has been journeying with Crohn's for over a decade now and this terrible disease has recently landed him in the hospital yet again. He is currently at St. Vincents Hospital (Portland, Oregon) where he is receiving expert care. Though he is in wonderful hands at St. V's, his doctors have decided it would be best for Jasper to go and see a renowned Crohn's specialist in San Diego. <br /><br />After a few more days (up to two weeks) in Portland, Jasper will be making a trip to San Diego where he will undergo surgery and a new treatment regimen overseen by the world's leading Crohn's expert.  The length of this trip is undetermined. <br /><br />Jasper is deeply grateful to have this the opportunity to receive this expert attention, however this trip will be costly (he has to pay for the travel out of pocket) and his bills are adding up as he is unable to work. Funds are needed immediately to help with his bills and give him peace of mind as he undergoes surgery, treatment, and recovery. <br /><br />Please consider expressing your love for Jasper, nearly everyone's favorite "fine young man", by donating financially to this cause. $5,000 will be a great initial start to pay for a few months living expenses (rent and bills while he's out of work) as well as the cost of travel to San Diego. We will keep you all informed of updated needs as they arise. <br /><br />Please continue to hold Jasper in your thoughts, prayers, and other spiritual practices as we join together to support him during this difficult season. All who know Jasper know him to be a person of extraordinary strength and boundless buoyancy who makes this world a better place with his attitude, smile, and spirit.<br /><br />Oh...Jasper has promised anyone who donates at least a hand written "thank you card." For big time donors he will provide a haiku, verse,  or perhaps a song to be song live on facebook! For big, big, big time donors he will dedicate his first album (or book, or work of art...whatever he does big time). <br /><br />Thank you for supporting Jasper in whatever way you can.

Jasper Bawcom's Crohn's Journey

I was hoping I wouldn't have to share this page. I tried my best to not bother anyone and battle this mostly in private. I was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer. I got diagnosed with breast cancer on January 25th, 2017 at Stage 2b. The type I was diagnosed with is called Infiltrating Ductal Carcinoma and it is also triple negative...a very aggressive form. I have undergone chemoterapy since February. Presumably, it was working, it subsided quite a bit in the first couple weeks. Once they switched to a new type two months later (protol), I started to notice changes. I voiced my concern that it may not be working. I was told they've never seen it not work. I asked for scans to check and was denied each time. Two months into this treatment and they finally agreed to do a scan. The scan revealed that it had spread into a multi-centric disease. It was still all contained within the breast and they set me up for surgery within a week. That date was July 5th. A month later, I was getting set up for radiation next with a CT. I didn't even make it past simulation. They saw suspicious spots in my liver and set me up with a biopsy which confirmed it positive. I am to start a pill, in hopes it will prolong my life. If not, I will be sent to Chicago. <br /><br />Those of you who wish to donate, I know I will have medical expenses and possibly other finanical issues that may pop up.  I have two small children to provide for. I have stepped away from my job, my family is 100xs more important to me right now. My two children are the most important thing to me when it comes to any of these financial issues that may arrise. <br /><br />I simply just want to live longer for the sake of my children. I will be strong and I will fight whatever comes at me.<br /><br />PS I didn't know what to put down for a goal.... so I just went high? <br /><br />Much love and thanks to all who decide to donate.

<p><iframe media_type="0" media_id="82-oV3Dodn8" class="youtube-replace" title="YouTube video player" style="margin-bottom:20px;width:560px;height:315px;" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/82-oV3Dodn8/?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="1"></iframe><br /><br />Conor Dean Sommer is a sweet, funny, loving 6 year old boy. He wants to be a paleontologist when he grows up. He has 2 sisters, Alice (5yrs) and Effie (9mos), whom he loves dearly. Conor has a sweet pup named Luna. He loves cookies, dinosaurs, and science. He can do cartwheels (he wants everyone to know that). He loves to play pranks on his friends and family. He is full of energy and charisma, and is loved so dearly by everyone he meets.</p>
<p>In October of 2016, he was diagnosed with an extremely rare cancer,  called undifferentiated CNS sarcoma, and since then has fought many tough battles for his life. He has had 11 serious surgeries, many of which were on his brain. His family at one point was told he would not make it. That in the unlikely chance he would come out of his coma, he would not be the same little boy that we have all come to love. That he would not be able to talk. But, Conor fought. He has defied every odd. After the initial removal of his brain tumor, he had multiple strokes and lost the mobility of his left side. He sees multiple physical and occupational therapists weekly, and works hard to regain the use of his left arm and leg. His spirit is yet to be broken. He truly believes he will get better, which gives all of us family and friends the strength to believe along with him. </p>
<p>Conor and his family have spent months in and out of hospitals, treatment centers, and physical therapy. During much of the time Conor has spent recovering from surgeries, he has stayed on the Pediatrics Intermediate Care Unit, as well as the Pediatrics Intensive Care, with his mother by his side always. There are so many kids on this floor whose parents could not be there with them, and it breaks her heart to see them, so she vowed to always have someone be there for Conor, so he would never be scared or alone. When Kelsie needs to go home to be with her two girls, his dad, Tyler is quick to take her place. The two of them have spent countless nights in the hospital with Conor.</p>
<p>This has been a long, hard fight against cancer for Conor and his loved ones. He spent two months in Winfield, IL undergoing proton radiation. His mother Kelsie was with him through everything. Every radiation session, every check up, every trip to the hospital - leaving behind a full time job. Since the diagnosis, she has worked only a handful of shifts to help pay the bills at home. She is a dedicated mother, who would do anything for her family. Having a sick child has taken its toll on her - mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially. I am setting up this GoFundMe in hopes that with a little help from our friends,  we can take some of the weight off.</p>
<p>With all of the chemo, radiation, and surgeries under his belt, the fight is not over yet. His family was recently informed that his chemo was not as effective as they had hoped, and that his cancer had spread. A new tumor has developed on his spine requiring yet another invasive surgery and more time away from home for radiation. The original chemo regimen and plan of care was not working. The doctors don't have very many good things to say about it, but his family remains optimistic. As well as Conor - as usual. He faces the day with a smile and a thumbs up. He doesn't think twice, he just fights. He never complains. Six years old and just rolling with the punches. </p>
<p>They have a very long, hard road ahead of them, so I am asking for any help you can muster, whether it be a donation or just a share to spread this sweet boy's story. Kelsie will be unable to work for the foreseeable future, and Conor's family is struggling and needs help to keep them afloat. Bills, food, rent, gas (for the long drives between Peoria and Winfield), and many other expenses - they add up so quickly for a traveling family of 5. Thank you so much in advance for any donation, and for taking the time to read this. Please keep Conor Dean in your thoughts. </p>

Conor's Fight

<p dir="ltr">As many of you know, Tami Adair; a young, vibrant, healthy 28 year old woman fell suddenly ill with Influenza. During this time she became increasingly tired, short of breath, and continually spiked fevers. She also got very dehydrated and had to be hospitalized. From there, everything started going wrong. She ended up on a ventilator for a prolonged period and dialysis for her kidneys and is continuing to battle these issues. She will have extensive medical bills along with expenses from being off work with no short term disability. I'm asking for $5,000 so we can cover her deductible and possibly a few other expenses. All donations are MUCH appreciated and I will be updating her FB page, along with her mother, to let everyone know of her progress and the progress we make here. Thank you so much to all who donate! 
</p>
