<div>Hello GoFundMe community, friends, and family,

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>For the past 10 years, my wife, Norma Espinoza, has treated her second chance at life as a gift, also knowing it wasn't a guarantee. After receiving her life-saving lung transplant in 2016, she didn't step back into a quiet life. She stepped forward. She poured nearly every bit of her energy into giving back to the organ donation community that gave her more time. She has volunteered for almost a decade with Donate Life Texas and the Texas Organ Sharing Alliance (TOSA). She's spoken at hospitals and conferences, stood on stages and in front of cameras, and shared her story with anyone who would listen. She's appeared in commercials, shown up at events, and spent countless hours comforting families, thanking donor families, and encouraging others to register as organ donors.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>She never took her gift of life for granted. She honored it every day. Right now, that same woman—who has spent years lifting others—is fighting for her own life again.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My wife is currently in ICU, 4 hours away from home, in chronic rejection of her transplanted lungs. We are now facing the reality that she needs a second lung transplant. This is something we never wanted to imagine, but we are walking it together. I have been by her side as her primary caregiver the past few months, staying in our RV so I can be there for her countless trips to the hospital, doctor's appointments, physical therapy, and endless blood work. There have been long, sleepless nights changing out her oxygen tanks in the middle of the night so she can get a night of peaceful sleep. Being away from home, work, and any kind of normal routine has taken a huge toll emotionally, physically, and financially.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Like many families in medical crisis, we're facing multiple fronts at once:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>• Temporary lodging and meals near the hospital that is willing to transplant her lungs to better her odds of survival.

</div>

<div>• Unpaid time away from work and loss of income.

</div>

<div>• Ongoing household bills that don't pause just because I am unable to work.

</div>

<div>• Medical and related expenses that stack up quickly.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I've always been the type to figure things out quickly and not ask for help. I am used to telling myself, "I'll handle it, I just need to work harder." But this season of our life has humbled me. There is only so much one person can carry alone. The truth is: I can't do this alone. We can't.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>We are asking for help so my wife can keep fighting with the support she needs, and so I can stay present with her—without every moment being overshadowed by panic about money, gas, or where I'm going to sleep that night.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Your support will go directly towards:

</div>

<div>• Travel and lodging costs while she is in ICU and through her transplant.

</div>

<div>• Everyday living expenses while I am away from home and work caring for her.

</div>

<div>• Medical-related costs and gaps not covered elsewhere.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you know my wife, you know her strength and courage. You know she’s the one who checks in on others, makes you smile in the middle of chaos, and somehow has room in her heart to care about everyone in the room—even when she's the patient. Her courage has carried not just our family, but many others, through their own dark and uncertain moments. She has shown so many people what it looks like to take a terrifying experience and turn it into a reason to help others. Right now, I'm asking—on her behalf and mine—for that same community care to surround her. If you're able to give, any amount is deeply appreciated. Even a small donation helps cover one more tank of gas, one more night near the hospital, one more bill that doesn't have to keep me up at night. If you can't donate, sharing this page or saying a prayer means more than you know. Thank you for taking the time to read or share our story.

Support Norma’s Fight for a Second Lung Transplant

<div>Help Will Make His Journey to California

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Friends, family, and kindhearted supporters,

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We are reaching out on behalf of a wonderful man, Will, who has shown more strength, resilience, and courage than we could ever imagine.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>In 2015, Will was diagnosed with stage 4 lung and bone cancer in his back. At the time, doctors told him he might have 6–12 months left. But Will has never been one to give up easily. Nearly a decade later, he has far surpassed the odds—living every day with grace, humor, and determination.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Will has always been a hard worker, the kind of man who believed in rolling up his sleeves and never slowing down. Retirement was never in his plans—but his health left him no choice. Even so, he continues to inspire everyone around him with his spirit and positivity.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Now, Will has one big dream: to move to California and be close to his family members who can support him and surround him with love. This move would mean the world to him, offering comfort, care, and peace during this next chapter of his journey.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We are asking for your help in making this possible. Between medical expenses and the challenges of no longer working, the cost of relocating is more than Will can manage on his own. With your support, we hope to raise enough funds to cover his moving expenses and help him get settled before the end of this year.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Every donation, no matter the size, will bring Will closer to the family support and comfort he deserves. If you’re unable to contribute financially, we ask that you share his story and keep Will in your prayers.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Will has spent his life working hard and giving to others—now it’s our chance to give back to him. Thank you for helping us make his dream a reality.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With gratitude,

</div>

<div>Jason

Help Will finish his life in comfort with his family.

<div>Hi, my name is Brittany and I am starting this fund account on behalf of my beautiful sister Clarissa Camarillo. My sister was diagnosed with Stage 3 Triple Negative Breast Cancer on January 3, 2023. Breast cancer does not run in our family, though my sister had further genetic testing completed and found out she is a carrier of the BRCA1 gene mutation, which put her at a  higher risk of getting this type of cancer (and increased risk for developing ovarian and pancreatic cancer). My sister immediately started weekly chemo treatments in January 2023, which lasted for six months. After chemo was complete my sister was then cleared for surgery and had her double mastectomy in August 2023, with her amazing team at MD Anderson in Houston. Now that she has recovered from her surgery, Clarissa is getting ready to begin radiation treatments in Houston. The radiation will consist of daily treatments that will last for six weeks straight. During this time Clarissa will have to move to Houston to continue her journey with her medical team at MD Anderson. My sister will be away from her husband, kids and family during this time. Clarissa is such a strong, beautiful and courageous woman! Her journey hasn't been the easiest, though with the support and love from family and friends, it surely has helped her.  Medical bills are constantly coming in and the expenses are rising. With a strong heart, we are asking our family, friends and anyone who can relate to such setbacks, to donate any financial contributions to my beautiful sister! If you're not able to donate, please continue to pray for Clarissa as she goes through the next phases of her cancer treatment.  I appreciate you reading my sisters story as she kicks cancers butt.  "In this family no one fights alone."
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank You on behalf of Clarissa and Family.
