Officer Richard Craig

<div>My name is Ben Saunders and I have a YouTube channel where we help those in need of a helping hand. Which brings me to Rick. We were clearing his garden for free when we saw the inside of his house … we were totally shocked. Rats had got in and done heavy damage, collapsed ceiling, pigeons in had been in his back room, no electricity in his kitchen, shower and sink are unusable and only having a portable heater in one room.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>See the moment we met Rick, cleared his garden and discovered how he is living..
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My dream is to get Rick’s house safe again and give him comfort and dignity in his later years. We’ve set a high target because we want to make sure every room is safe again. If we reach the full target then we can do the whole house, if we raise under the target then we will do as many rooms as possible and use our platform to try and get other donations and products to make sure that every penny goes as far as it can.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We plan to surprise Rick with a 30 day stay at a hotel. During this time we will completely renovate the house and he can return to a safe, clean, and dignified home. We will release weekly videos to keep you updated and so you can see exactly where the money goes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’d also love to make some homely touches and help Rick with day to day extras. Such as getting him some new clothes, wardrobe, drawers etc.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We also are looking into setting up a cleaner to come in weekly, to help him keep on top of things.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Here's the plan:</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>Check Rick into a local hotel, that way he can pop back and see progress, he'll also be decluttering.</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>Then Clear the entire house onto to the lawn for him to decide what is staying or going.</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>Deep clean and sanitise of house, including pest control.</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>Re wire the house to make sure the electrics are safe, along with a plumbing team to sort out a new boiler, radiator and a shower/toilet downstairs. Future proofing things.</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>The next part we don't know what surprises we will uncover, we will need to replaster before decorating. If we raise enough that funds are left over this will cover a cleaner/companion for the year. Extra funds could go towards help with exteriors repairs as we can see issues, from guttering/soffits/fascias, to the render. I will ago above and beyond, that's a promise!</strong>

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The journey will be shared on my YouTube channel, Myself &amp; Ashley will not be taking any wage from this fund for the work we carry out on the project. We have also lined up discounts on materials in return for exposure which is great to stretch the money as far as possible. We will be receiving the funds in a dedicated separate account for distribution! In a dream world, if we complete all the work and fully renovate the house + sort after care for Rick (Cleaner for a year) we would use any additional funds to help the next person in need!</strong>

Helping Rick Live Safely In His Later Years

<div>Amy was diagnosed with breast cancer in late September.  She found a lump and called her doctor right away.  One week later, they did a mammogram, ultrasound and biopsy in one day. What they suspected was true...there were two masses both malignant. Surgery will be scheduled by the end of October. She will have a bilateral mastectomy given the family history of cancer.  Chemotherapy seemed unlikely at first, but we will know more after surgery.  The reconstruction will start right away and will be complete by October 2025, we hope.  
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We thank you for all the support you have shown thus far, it has made Amy feel very loved! There are a few ways to help:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>1.  Shop at Magpies Boutique and spread the word about what a wonderful community she has created there.
</div>
<div><a href="https://www.magpiesmarket.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://www.magpiesmarket.com/" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.magpiesmarket.com/</a></a>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>2.  When you see her in the store, wish her well.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>3.  Contribute here for not only to take care of Amy's medical costs (gas, etc), expenses to keep Magpies and her life up and running, but also for the help that her parents will need in her absence. She has been the primary caregiver for her mom and dad, as her mother has advanced Parkinson’s. The average care giver (not associated with an agency) in Fort Collins is $32/hour and live-in caregiver is $46 per hour. The total for one year of full-time in home care is $66,500. It would be wonderful if we could raise $75,000 to cover the cost of care for her parents so that Amy can focus on her recovery and healing.
</div>
<div>Anything you can give would be helpful.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>4. There is a Caring Bridge Set up at <a href="https://www.caringbridge.org/site/35413f34-72bd-11ef-8eec-f977878a05d2" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://www.caringbridge.org/site/35413f34-72bd-11ef-8eec-f977878a05d2?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=webm&amp;utm_content=copylink_leftmenu_php" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.caringbridge.org/site/35413f34-72bd-11ef-8eec-f977878a05d2?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=webm&amp;utm_content=copylink_leftmenu_php</a></a> so that you can keep updated on her journey. From there, we have also set up a meal train for Bob and Judy (her folks) as Amy has been focused exclusively on her treatment.
</div>
<div>Signup for Meal Train:
</div>
<div><a href="https://mealtrain.com/014419" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://mealtrain.com/014419" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://mealtrain.com/014419</a></a>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>5.  The cards you have sent thus far have been so helpful to her so keep them coming.  Her home address is Amy Goodhart Koepsell: 3308 Snowbrush Court, Fort Collins, CO 80521
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>6.  Include Amy, her family, and all the medical staff in your awareness while praying or meditating.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From all the women at Magpies that make Magpies what it is...
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>"We've got this, she'll get through this and we are all going to make sure of that!”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you to Sara Vlietstra (meal train and caring bridge). 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We're going to have a "Bye Cancer" party right before Amy's surgery so keep your eyes peeled for more info." 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your support and helping in anyway you can! Please share with family and friends.
