<div>I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of the wonderful community at SoHa Condominiums, and one of the people who makes our community so special is our beloved porter, Francisco. Five years ago, Francisco was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. His work is physically demanding, and as his disease has progressed, it has understandably become more difficult for him. Even so, Francisco continues to show up and give his all.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Francisco is the kind of person who makes everyone around him feel cared for. He works incredibly hard, always has a smile on his face, and is unfailingly kind and thoughtful to everyone in our building. He takes enormous pride in his work and, no matter what, always gives 100%.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He has recently had to reduce his hours to part-time work, which has created an added financial strain at a time when he is already navigating the challenges of a progressive illness. As he looks toward retirement, we want to help make that transition a little easier—and, just as importantly, remind Francisco that the community he has cared for all these years cares deeply about him, too.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m hoping that together we can raise funds to help ease some of the financial burden he is facing. Any contribution, large or small, will make a meaningful difference and will go directly to Francisco. And if you’re not able to contribute, simply sharing this campaign or sending Francisco a message of support would mean so much.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In the meantime, I’ll also be working with my colleagues at the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research to explore whether there are additional medical resources that may be available to Francisco.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Francisco has spent years taking care of our community. Now, I hope we can come together to take care of him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for your generosity, kindness, and consideration.

Please help support little Máximo in this time of tremendous loss. <br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/54752352_1613746030585785_r.jpeg" alt="54752352_1613746030585785_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br />On February 11, 2021, Máximo's papá, Sebastian Morel-Ferreira, suffered a massive heart attack and sudden cardiac arrest.  In the following minutes his husband, Ryan, and a kind neighbor, performed CPR as they waited for paramedics to arrive.  It is not known for how long Sebastian was without oxygen.  Placed in a medically induced coma for 48 hours, no one knew the potential outcome.<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/54752352_1613746104796683_r.jpeg" alt="54752352_1613746104796683_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br />After tests on Sebastian's brain showed aggressive brain damage, the reality hit that Sebastian would never wake from this coma and Máximo would not know his papá in real life--but through stories and memories.  Sebastian passed on February 18, 2021 after donating his organs to two individuals in need.  It was the ultimate act of generosity for which Sebastian was well-known.<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/54752352_1613746351282702_r.jpeg" alt="54752352_1613746351282702_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br />He was only 39 years old.<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/54752352_1613746390519536_r.jpeg" alt="54752352_1613746390519536_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br />While Sebastian's time with us was far too short, he leaves a legacy of being an eternal optimist with a passion for life and adventure.  He had a gift for bringing people together and creating community, for he firmly believed that love is a universal thread that binds people from every country, culture, and walk of life.  His friendships were brilliant and deep, and being Sebastian’s friend meant becoming a part of his extended family through which lifelong bonds were made.<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/54752352_1613746522225855_r.jpeg" alt="54752352_1613746522225855_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br />One of Sebastian's dreams for Máximo, 18 months old, is that he knows and travels to his homeland of Paraguay and is fluent in his native language, Spanish.<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/54752352_1613746558958341_r.jpeg" alt="54752352_1613746558958341_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br />Sebastian's family appreciates the outpouring of love and support that so many of you have already provided and for asking how best to help.  Please consider making a contribution to Máximo in memory of Sebastian.  All proceeds will be used towards future educational opportunities and so that Máximo has the financial means to travel to Paraguay throughout his childhood.<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/54752352_1613746692432081_r.jpeg" alt="54752352_1613746692432081_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br />Sebastian was one of the kindest, most loving, and charismatic individuals you could meet.  Máximo, for sure, will take after his papá with his dad Ryan by his side--but they need your support now to ensure Máximo is afforded the life Sebastian intended for his little boy.<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/54752352_1613746743473703_r.jpeg" alt="54752352_1613746743473703_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br />The family will be forever grateful for any support you can provide.  Please keep Ryan and Máximo in your thoughts and prayers.<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/54752352_1613746834291885_r.jpeg" alt="54752352_1613746834291885_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" />

Henry Yao is a New York staple and so is his store. Located on Houston next to Russ and Daughters, his store has been there for 61 years. Henry works alone in the store 7 days a week now and before the pandemic. Every person who walks through his door gets special treatment. It is his life to interact with his regulars and other passersby who stumble in from the street. <br /><br />Because of the pandemic and the high cost of rent (6K + a month!) that Henry refuses to withhold, he will be out of income very soon.   <br /><br />A few years ago, I walked into Henry's store and left with a new family member. I'm sure many who have been to his store feel similarly.  Help him keep his store alive and support himself and his family during this seemingly endless time.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />100 percent of the funds will go to Henry Yao in keeping this business open. <br /><br />Instagram: @ <a href="https://www.instagram.com/armynavybags/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">armynavybags</a>

<strong>Max Fernandez</strong> was the long time superintendent of two buildings on the Upper West Side. He was a loved member of our community and personally supported the residents through hard work and devotion. He will be greatly missed by everyone that knew him. He is survived by his wife and three sons. We would like to pay tribute to his memory by raising funds to donate to his family at this time. Any amount that can be contributed will be appreciated. We would like to have the donations complete by the end of the week. I, Michael Barrett in building 2020 will deliver the donation on behalf of the tenants. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and generosity.

Ram Badan Singh has been selling newspapers on the corner of 86th and Central Park West for 36 years.  He is a New York institution.   He is an UWS institution.   And now, as Mr. Singh is about to turn 81, the subway station where he has brightened commuters' mornings - in ways big and small- is shutting down for six months.  A dramatic reduction in foot traffic inevitably threatens his ability to survive doing what he has done for decades ...through hurricanes, blizzards and everything else.  A little goes a long way here.  Think of this page as a way to buy the news forward.<br /><br />Here is the link to the incredible NYT story written by Patrick Farrell and published in the April 22nd Sunday edition:<br /><a href="https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/04/20/dining/last-of-the-newsies.html" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/04/20/dining/last-of-the-newsies.html</a>  <br /><br />Background and affiliation: <br />I started buying my newspapers from Mr. Singh 20 years ago when I lived around the corner from his 86th St location.   When I moved downtown several years later, I often reminisced that one of the things I missed most about the UWS was my daily morning newspaper transaction.   After 15 years downtown, I had the good fortune to move back to Mr. Singh's neighborhood and was utterly delighted to see him on the same corner.  <br /><br />Once we reach our goal on this campaign, all donations will be given directly to Mr. Singh to help him through the impending subway closure and thank him for his ongoing dedication to the neighborhood.  Singh and I will go to the bank together (we have accounts with the same bank) and I will withdraw the  funds myself and then directly transfer them to Singh's account.

The Ferranti family suffered a tragic loss in the passing of Mike, a loving husband of over 12 years, and doting father of Mia, who will sadly turn 1 just days after we bury her father. Kate's heart is broken, as are all of ours, for this young family with so many incredible plans for the future. <br /><br />Kate and Mike have been strong advocates in volunteering in their community of White Plains, going out of their way for others and feeding the homeless. They are so giving, they even opened their home up to an orphaned adolescent to live with them for over 6 years. <br /><br />Kate will be struggling to make ends meet for both her and Mia, now on a single income. Please help to make her load a little less heavy with anything you can offer.<br /><br />“In the end it’s not the years in your life that count.

I'm Brad Mosher's brother-in-law, Andrew.  <br /><br />Anyone who knows Brad Mosher has been helped by him countless numbers of times, but one rarely gets the opportunity to return the favor in kind. <br /><br />This is our chance.<br /><br />Brad is adopting a special kind of service dog January 21st, 2017 to help control his blood sugar. These amazing Diabetic Alert Dogs are service dogs able to detect changes in blood sugar levels in their owners. <br /><br />As many of you know, Brad has had Type 1 diabetes for most of his life.<br /><br />These life-saving dogs are expensive. The training alone requires weekly visits with a trainer for a minimum of a year. More information about these dogs can be found <a href="http://www.diabetesalertdogalliance.org" target="_blank">here</a> . <br /><br />I am borrowing his words from a conversation we had recently about what these dogs do and how a service dog would be so helpful in his life right now. <br /><br /><strong>They are trained from birth and learn to get rewarded when they respond to the smell of a blood sugar under 80 or above 180.</strong><br /><br /><strong>They either tap their owner on the leg three times in a row, chomp on a toy the owner keeps handy when they're out for a hike, or ring a bell to wake them up if they are asleep. </strong><br /><br /><strong>I am interested in this particular trainer because her dogs are incredibly well trained.</strong><br /><br /><strong>I don't usually check my blood sugar often enough, the tighter my control is, the longer I'll be around.</strong><br /><br /><strong>I'm concerned about evenings and driving. And need to have a well-mannered, non-disruptive dog while I’m at work.</strong> <br /><br />Certain his wonderful friends will love this opportuity to help him, I set up a Go Fund Me page to make it easy. <br /><br />Sasquatch will love to have a puppy buddy in his golden years to keep him young-at-heart, too!<br /><br />Thanks everyone. <br /><br />And thanks Brad for being such a great friend through the years. It's the least we can do.
