<div>Hello. My name is Shea, and I’ve not done this before - asking people to donate money that is. But, ultimately, the money is not for myself. It is for my partner Greg House. Today marks two weeks since we first arrived to the ER via ambulance, and he has been in the ICU ever since.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today is also the two year anniversary of when we first reconnected, sparking a romance neither of us had been looking for. October 7th, 2024 my beloved cat of 18 years passed on. Greg being the sweet, kindhearted man that he is, reached out to me to make sure I was ok (despite us not having spoken in some time).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Facebook messages turned into text messages, which turned into dates, which blossomed into a playful, delightful, yet strong partnership built on mutual understanding, complimentary neurosis, and a shared love of nerd culture.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The morning of Tuesday September 22nd 2026, Greg woke up with the sensation of pins-and-needles in his hands and feet, like the feeling of when a limb “falls asleep” he said. By Tuesday evening he could no longer walk or stand on his own. 24 hours later he lost the use of his arms, and by Saturday the 26th he lost the use of his diaphragm and had to be intubated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The diagnosis as it stands is “Guillain-Barré syndrome” or “GBS”. It is a rare neurological disorder in which your immune system mistakenly attacks your peripheral nerves (the nerves outside of your brain and spinal cord). Greg at this time is effectively paralyzed from the shoulders down, and while he remains intubated he is unable to speak. His cognition is not diminished - when he is awake he is trapped inside the prison of his body, unable to move or communicate beyond the “yes” or “no” of a thumbs-up or head shake.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>GBS is treatable, and most people eventually recover. However, the recovery process can take weeks, months, or even years. There may be lasting effects, but currently it is too early to know how Greg will fair in that regard.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As most of his friends and family know, Greg is a DJ and multimedia artist, with deep roots in the music and nightlife industry in Chicago where he’s garnered a touch of local celebrity. For the past few years he has worked for himself as an independent contractor, and was greatly enjoying the freedom this offered him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, this means when Greg isn’t working he has no regular flow of income, nor does he have PTO or disability benefits to fall back on. Due to the GBS, Greg in all likelihood may not be able to work in a traditional capacity for upwards of a calendar year, or possibly longer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is why I am now humbly asking for assistance on his behalf. I am hoping at this time to raise enough funds to cover his deductible and out-of-pocket maximums for 2026 and 2027, 6 months of rent, utilities and living expenses, and a small buffer for any unexpected calamities along the way to his recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please donate what you can. Greg is going to need all the resources we can gather for the battle he is currently fighting, and the journey to finding his new normal after.
</div>

 Hello everybody, I am setting up this GoFundMe on behalf of friends of ours. Apolinar (Looney) is a good friend of our family. <strong>His son, Carlos, was crossing the street when a driver came in at heavy impact and hit him, then drove off. He is in critical condition.</strong> They have not left his side. They cannot work; they refuse to leave his side. I know they are praying hard. No one wants to go through such a terrible ordeal as this. We are asking if everyone can please find it in their hearts to donate and share this page. I believe in people coming together to help me help them.

Help Carlos's Family During This Crisis

In 2019, I had my first stroke. At the time, I was fortunate to have support from my employer, which made the recovery process much easier. Unfortunately, I didn't take care of myself as well as I should have, and now I'm facing another difficult period without the safety net I had before. Without disability insurance, I find myself struggling to see how I can make it through rehab and recovery without a little help. Tomorrow, I go into rehab, and I want to focus on getting better instead of spending every day wondering how to fix the mess I've gotten myself into. 
<br>
<br>
 This time, I don't have the same resources or support, and it's hard to ask for help. The funds raised will go directly toward covering my rent, utilities, food, doctor appointments, and most importantly, caring for Siren. These essentials will allow me to focus on my health and recovery, rather than worrying about daily expenses piling up. Your support will help me get back on my feet and give me the peace of mind I need to heal. 
<br>
<br>
 I know I messed up my own life, and asking for support is not easy. But your help would mean the world to me. If you can help me get out of the mess I've gotten myself into, it will be greatly appreciated. Your kindness and encouragement give me hope, and I am grateful for any support you can offer.

<div>Hi friends,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m reaching out to ask for your support for my sister Katie, a wonderful person who has been facing an incredibly difficult journey. Recently, Katie was diagnosed with <strong>Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS)—a rare illness that attacks the nervous system</strong>, making it difficult to move. She spent weeks in the ICU, and now she’s in rehab, working so hard to <strong>learn how to walk again</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Through it all, Katie has shown so much<strong> strength and determination</strong>, but she needs our help. The financial burden has been overwhelming, with past-due expenses, and the need for special furniture to make her home safe and accessible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>How We Can Bless Katie</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are raising <strong>$4,546.00 </strong>to help with:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Past-due bills so she can focus on recovery, not finances.</strong>
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Disability-friendly furniture to help her adjust to daily life.</strong>
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’re able to give, any amount will make a difference. And if you are unable to donate, <strong>please share this fundraiser and keep Katie in your thoughts and prayers. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Together, we can be the hands and feet of Jesus, showing her she is not alone in this journey.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let’s Lift Katie Up with<strong> Love &amp; Support!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity.

Helping Katie get her groove back!

<div>It has recently been brought to the attention of friends and family that Ezekiel Dominguez, a.k.a. DJ Zeek, has had a massive stroke and lost the use of the left side of his body. Unfortunately at this time we cannot give the specifics of his condition, but he is currently in the hospital receiving treatment. We can say that he is going to be unable to work for a while once he’s been discharged from the hospital due to having physical and occupational therapy to help regain the use of his left side. It is possible that due to the severity of his stroke, his fiancé may have to quit her job in order to be able to care for Zeek 24/7 once he is home. Due to this, financial responsibilities of rent, bills, food, etc will be difficult to manage. Any amount you can donate to help support Zeek’s road to recovery is greatly appreciated. Please help us help Zeek!

Help Us Help Zeek

<div>I was mugged and robbed Wednesday afternoon  and became somewhat coherent in the hospital Thursday with no clue where i was. I was told that the beating caused me to have a seizure so I was in ICU. The robber got away with my stuff but thank god an ambulance got me to a hospital. I was released to one of my friends care on Friday but I’m really beat up and have to miss a lot of work. Chicago has really became a shithole.  
</div>

I’m lucky to be alive.

<div>Help Mel Hammond get safe and sound.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm reaching out because our friend <strong>Mel</strong> needs our help right now.
</div>
<div>Back in 2020, Mel suffered a series of concussions that nearly took his life. The results left him wheelchair-bound with peripheral neuropathy. Despite everything, he kept pressing on and made significant progress. He regained his cognitive abilities and his desire to be the conduit that he is, producing, inspiring, and imparting wisdom and experience for his growth and many, many others.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Current Crisis:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recently, Mel moved into an apartment. But, within the third day of being there, he was attacked by parasitic bugs and horsehair worms. It got so bad that he ended up in the hospital on July 30 with a bacterial infection, needing several IV antibiotics. The doctors told him it was good he came in when he did, or he could’ve lost his leg. As of today, he is in recovery but needs to have a safe and healthy wheelchair-accessible living environment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our Goal:
</div>
<div><strong>We need to raise $5,000 to help Mel through this stage so he can heal and get back to being the creative we all know and love.</strong>
</div>
<div>Safe and accessible housing can be hard to find and expensive, and the situation is urgent.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How You Can Help
</div>
<div>• Donate: Every little bit helps.
</div>
<div>• Share: Please share this with your friends, family, and anyone that appreciates the arts and culture.
</div>

<div>Mel’s given so much to our community. Let’s come together and help him with the safe home he needs.

Support Mel Hammond's Healing Journey

<div>It is with extreme sadness that we have unexpectedly lost our dear friend Jeams Erick Potts on May 20, 2024. Jeams was a loving son, brother, father, and friend to many. Those that know him, know that he would do anything for his friends and family. His beautiful soul, energetic spirit, and loyal friendship touched the lives of many. Jeams was a loving loyal father dedicated to protecting and caring for his young daughter Kayla who will now have to navigate life without her father as a provider. His mother, father, and sister will be called upon to fulfill the emotional and financial loss with Jeams no longer here to care for and support Kayla.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fund will help the Potts family with the burden of funeral costs as well as help the family support Kayla in the future. Any contribution no matter the amount would be deeply appreciated. It will serve as a reminder to Jeams' family and his daughter that they are loved and lifted by everyone around them. We are grateful for any support and prayers for his family during this difficult time.

<div><em>We are Alice and Coleman Moore and here is the story of why we need your help. Please read, and then share our link on all platforms. </em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>•• TL;DR ••</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>We need help with medical and expenses. With very little in the bank at the time and loads of debt, <strong>Coleman was suddenly fired without cause in November 2021.</strong>
</li>
<li>No permanent jobs have come along, and temporary contract jobs dried up as of spring 2023.
</li>
<li><strong>During unemployment, our only income since then is social security which is always $500 short of our basic monthly needs.</strong>
</li>
<li>In December 2023, we were $600 short on our rent due January 1st. <strong>In desperation, we invested our last $2400 in a crypto trading group.</strong>
</li>
<li>We grew the account to $5400, but that trading group was a scam! <strong>They have stolen our investment and our gains.</strong>
</li>
<li>Our social security was three weeks away at the time, the government had no programs to help us, and no one we knew could afford to loan us the $3000+ we needed just for January rent, let alone other expenses.
</li>
<li><strong>All other options for financial resources were exhausted, so this GoFundMe page was our last resort.</strong>
</li>
<li>In hopes of collecting $16,000 to sustain us for four months as we prepare to move to a less expensive apartment in Texas, we have turned to friends, family, and strangers.
</li>
<li>During this time, Coleman needed dental work and pacemaker surgery. Alice also needs refills of her epilepsy medication but has no health coverage.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>•• WHAT WE NEED ••</strong>
</div>
<div>Reaching our $16,000 goal will throw us a line to help us climb up and get on our feet.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>*** New MAY goal: Raise $3250 to avoid late fees on rent and storage. </strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>If you can help us reach this amount by May 4th, we will never have to pay late fees again for the remainder of our lease (ending in July).
</li>
<li>When social security comes in on the third Wednesday of the month, the bulk of it will be set aside for the June rent and storage, and again for July.
</li>
<li>We will still need help for other bills since social security falls short of monthly expenses by $500.
</li>
<li>Extraordinary expenses include $1300 in past-due electricity and internet bills, and $363 to restore our disconnected cell service.
</li>
</ul>

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>==========
</div>
<div><strong>REASONS:</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>So far, our fundraiser has inspired several good people to help us survive through March and April, including providing for Coleman’s oral surgery and pacemaker surgery.
</li>
<li>His pacemaker surgery is scheduled for April 29th. Thanks to your donations, we have set aside the $165 copay for one night in the hospital. We would appreciate being able to have more funds available in case there are complications and he has to stay longer, and possible charges for prescriptions not covered by his health plan.
</li>
<li>In June, have to get serious about purging and packing to move to Texas, and we’ll need help getting moving supplies. Our rent there will be ½ to ⅔ what we pay in Colorado, so we can survive on just social security if need be.
</li>
<li>Our lease ends July 13th, so we’ll need to pay for a one-way U-Haul rental probably by July 10th. We think some friends from Bible study can help us load the truck, and Alice’s nephew might be able to fly up from Texas to drive the truck to San Antonio for us.
</li>
<li>We’ll need some amount (TBD) to pay for car maintenance to make our vehicle roadworthy for the drive to Texas.
</li>
<li>Coleman is working on his MBA to improve his chances of being hired. He owes $400 to his school, SNHU, in order to complete his final courses.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And that is why we need your help sharing our link, and donations of ANY amount if you haven't had a chance yet. Please!
</div>
<div>==========
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our constant goal is to get ahead of our rent deadline and avoid paying the late fee every month. (This need is noted below in item 4.)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>1 -- <strong>Get $1200</strong> to bring our negative checking account positive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>2 -- <strong>Amend our Social Security income to pay rent and living expenses from April through July.</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li><em>Expenses include rent (about $3K), utilities, insurance, gas, groceries, cat food and litter, loan payments, and at least the most urgent of our debt payments.</em>
</li>
<li><em>Our electric bill is very behind, currently over $1000 owed.</em>
</li>
<li><em>We owe AT&amp;T $363, and they have cut off our cell service.</em>
</li>
<li><em>We are not asking for help to get our past-due credit cards current, but anything over our goal amount will go toward that, and then toward Alice's medical and dental care as she has no coverage until she turns 65.</em>
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>3 -- <strong>Enable us to get ahead of our rental due date on the 1st </strong>(Social Security comes on the 3rd Wednesday, so we always pay a late fee and barely stay ahead of eviction notices).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>4 -- <strong>Stay current on the payment plans</strong> we arranged with some of our creditors.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>5 --<strong> $500 to pay our deductible for a fender bender.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>6 -- <strong>Possibly cover at least some of our moving expenses from Colorado to Texas, near Alice's sister:</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li><em>$150 application fee (non-refundable) for the new place.</em>
</li>
<li><em>$249 admin fee for the application; refundable if we are declined.</em>
</li>
<li><em>$500 deposit to move in, then $1800 for our first month.</em>
</li>
<li><em>~$1K for packing/loading/unloading help.</em>
</li>
<li><em>A one-way moving truck rental (waiting on an estimate)</em>
</li>
<li><em>We aim to be out of here by the end of our lease on July 13th. Breaking the lease early would incur a big fee. Staying past July would mean going month to month for a while, and they would raise the rate significantly for that. Even if Coleman gets hired, we need to stop paying $3K a month. The new place will be $1800 a month.</em>
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>7 -- <strong>Car maintenance </strong>to make our vehicle roadworthy for the drive to Texas.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>8 -- <strong>$1000 or more to cover the co-pays for Coleman’s medical and dental expenses</strong>:
</div>
<ul>
<li><em>$40 monthly copay for a new medication prescribed by his kidney doctor.</em>
</li>
<li><em>A potential kidney ultrasound.</em>
</li>
<li><em>Pacemaker surgery at the end of April.</em>
</li>
<li><em>Dental treatment for a broken tooth.</em>
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>•• WHERE WE ARE ••</strong>
</div>
<div>We are a senior couple -- Alice is 62 and Coleman will be 72 in May -- and we're supporting ourselves and our much beloved, 20-year-old cat, Amos, solely on social security during a period of extended unemployment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have created this GoFundMe because in late December 2023, while we were already severely struggling financially, we were victimized by crypto trading scammers. We have not even come close to recovering financially since this happened, so reluctantly, we are reaching out for help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We know crypto trading is risky but it was desperate times. We were short for the upcoming rent and had no other money coming in that month. Coleman lost his job in November of 2021 and we had run out of savings entirely. We had already been turned down for assistance so trading crypto was a grasp at straws. It actually worked! We quickly built our account to $5400, almost enough for two months of rent, but then they never gave us our money when we withdrew it, and we knew for sure we had been scammed. We lost our investment of $2400, which was all we had. The thieves have kept our investment and our gains.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In January and February 2024, some amazing friends and family, and our church, helped us out. Adding their gifts and loans to our social security, we finally paid the rent for January and February (both with late fees, but ahead of eviction, praise Jesus!), and we managed partial payments on our bigger utility bills and even bought groceries. We are so grateful for their generosity and kindness. (At this writing, we plan to pay the March rent of $2900+ on the 22nd with our social security money.)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Without that help, we would have been evicted. Only God knows why we were never served with the court summons for an eviction hearing that our leasing office warned us to expect. The office had no idea why the attorney never followed through, but we know that every good thing comes down from the Father above! (James 1:17)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We hope and pray the Lord will enable you to be one of those who can help us cope with this current financial trial.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>$16,000 or more will help us survive for the next few months while our ongoing job search continues, and we move out of state to a less expensive place.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>P.S. The category of this fundraiser is for medical needs, but it is also for basic monthly needs along with the extraordinary expenses associated with moving out of state. Our goal of $16,000 will not meet 100% of our expenses until July, but it will meet our basic needs including avoiding eviction and losing our car. </em>

<div>I’M GOING TO BE ALRIGHT. Unfortunately, I have testicular cancer. That's right. There's nothing much I can do about this but tell you that information. There's no sob story. My odds will decrease by about 10% to impregnate you, your mom, your sister, your cousin, or your bridesmaid. It's not so scary now, right? The problem is that I'm going to lose money, time, energy, and vitality for a little while. It's going to be nice to have a quick moment of healing to do a reset, as events like this always bring a bit of post-event clarity with them (I think there's space for another joke here).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My estimated out-of-pocket costs for surgery are $3,539. This number will increase in the coming days/weeks, as I have more tests and procedures. I’m also missing out on 2 weeks of work at my full-time job. First, and foremost, I need to secure financial stability. My stable mental health is something I’m already proud of, even amidst the circumstances. Already receiving a lot of love where it counts the most. Despite the many dark life events that took place over the last year, painting has brought me more peace than anything else. If you weren’t aware, I created my YouTube show Painting Everybody in July of 2022. It’s become the most important thing in the world to me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So here I am. Begging a bit, bringing some laughs, but mostly letting people know that I'M GOING TO BE ALRIGHT. This cancer hasn't spread anywhere else in my body, so I'm infinitely grateful for that fact. Between my medical bills, and missing out on work for a couple of weeks, I'm going to take a substantial financial hit. I've put together a list of all of a few large and small paintings I have for sale (inquire at <a href="https://adamholzrichter.art" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">[email redacted]</a>). In addition, I'm offering commission vouchers (portraits, landscapes, still lifes, etc) for the first time. These can be given as gifts and will be put into the queue for me to complete this year (2023). The more you give the more I get to share my talents. They will be available in amounts of $250, $500, and $1000+.
</div>

Adam's Last Ball - Testicular Cancer Fundraiser

<div>It is with heavy hearts and profound loss that we prepare for JoJo's final farewell into oblivion. Though funds were collected to support JoJo's medical expenses and care, this fund is specifically for the family to provide funeral and memorial services that fulfill JoJo's predetermined wishes, as well as support the preservation of his artwork and legacy. There is no easy way to say goodbye to such an iconic force of artistic nature, but we will honor JoJo and carry on his memory.

<div>Hi, our names are Misael and Vivian. As a student in a firefighter academy, a paid on call Fire fighter and an EMT I’ve learned first hand about the devastation and emotional turmoil that a fire can cause. I could have never imagined that one day we would be victims of such a tragedy. To lose everything has been devastating, but losing peace of mind that it could happen at any time without warning is even worse. 

</div>

<div><br />
</div>

<div>We we’re both visiting family out of state, with our dog Buzz, when the fire erupted, and weren’t notified until several hours after it ended. Unfortunately our kitten Woody and tortoise Mac were still in our home throughout the incident. Miraculously they survived with very few injuries and rescued by the wonderful fire department that I’m a member of. An amazing member of the department and his family have gone above and beyond to help us nurse Woody back to health and gave him a place to stay while we look for a permanent  residence. 

</div>

<div><br />
</div>

<div>Unfortunately our insurance isn’t going to cover any of the losses and we are forced to start from square one. We have been graciously helped by friends, coworkers and families already beyond what we ever thought we ever could deserve. So asking for more help leaves us feeling guilty knowing there are so many others who could use it as well. We will do our best to give back as much as possible someday to fire and disaster survivors, now knowing the pain and suffering it can cause. Thank you

Recaudacion de fondos para  Sepelio de Toño

<p>Hello everyone, my name is Samantha Galvez - I am the oldest daughter of Samuel Galvez.
</p>

<p>It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I have to announce the passing of my beloved father Samuel Galvez.
</p>

<p>Sam earned his wings on August 10th, 2021 due to a fatal car accident. He was an outstanding husband, extraordinary father, son, brother, uncle, and friend to many. He was taken from us too soon and will be greatly missed by all whose lives he touched. Sam leaves behind his high school sweetheart/wife Jackie Galvez in addition to his three wonderful children Samantha Galvez (21), Julianna Galvez (12), and Jacob Galvez (11).
</p>

<p>This tragedy was sudden and unexpected - nobody was prepared for this. For those of you who knew my dad, he was an extremely hard working man and always took care of those he loved. He was the sole provider of this family and we will need some assistance as we figure out our next steps. It would be greatly appreciated if you could find it in your hearts to all come together and help my family while we grieve the loss of my father. We are asking for any help we could get - any donations or even a simple share would mean the world to us. All the donations we receive will be used to give my father a beautiful service and to help my family with the financial hardships we will be left with.
</p>

<p>Thank you all for your time - I know my father is looking down on all of us with the big contagious smile he always had.
</p>

<p>Rest in Paradise Papi. We love you so much.<br /><br />

With our support, we can aid in Kevin's recovery expressing our appreciation for his undeniable amazing musical gifts, and the loyal friendship he has shared with us over the years.  <br /><br />Kevin is a tough fighter and has overcome so many obstacles in his life that have been challenging and with his dedicated loving partner, Olivia by his side he is in good hands! <br /><br /> At this time we want Kevin to know he is not alone!

Help Danny Recover From a Hit & Run Car Accident

Thank you for finding your way here. Our beloved brother and friend, Aaron Garcia was rushed to the hospital by ambulance on October 14th due to complications of COVID-19. Within hours, he took a turn for the worse and swiftly went on a ventilator to assist in breathing and was put into a medically induced coma. The doctors said he was close to the end ... and then a miracle happened. As we were saying goodbye in disbelief, his body began fighting back, prayers were heard, and his slow progress back to all of us began. <br /><br />Aaron is still on a ventilator and in this medically induced coma. He battles daily to breathe and keep COVID from shutting down his already weakened kidneys.  While his doctors say that he has the most courageous spirit and is improving, there is a long road ahead to full recovery. <br /> <br />Whether you’ve known him for years or for just a short time, I’m sure he’s made you smile more times than you can count. If you haven’t had the pleasure of meeting him, I think I can speak for all of us when I say that Aaron’s larger than life personality has impacted our lives for the better in one way or another.  Now it’s time for us all to send some positivity back his way.<br /><br />This fund is to help Aaron in his long-term recovery efforts and additional living expenses as he gets back on his feet. So much love and support has been shown to the family and we sincerely thank you. We hope that everyone else continues to stay safe and take care as we all fight our way through this pandemic.

Aaron Garcia’s COVID-19 Healing and Recovery

Anita and Isaiah have been together for 12 years and got engaged two years ago. They are in love and dream of a long and happy life together. Anita is the mother of Salvador, Victoria, and Isacc. Health costs are excruciatingly high in this country and any money you give will go to help pay medical expenses and expenses to the continued fight. It has been a long fight and it's not over. Please consider giving to a cause that will truly mean a lot to these two people.<br /><br />Anita is fighting Stage 4 Colon Cancer.  When she was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer, they found it metastasized to her kidney and liver and determined she needed a hysterectomy, kidney removed,  and her colon resectioned all at once. They gave her 3 weeks to prepare for all three procedures to take place at once.  She was in the hospital for a week, it took at least 3 months to recover from those surgeries. She was over 200 lbs at the end of 2017, down to approx 150 in July 2018, she's now 106 lb. <br />When she was 1st diagnosed she was working full time at Qdoba, while having just taken on working part time at Einstein Bros to help her mother pay her rent, 50-60hrs total. Her diagnoses and surgery recovery led to her being off work for months. She's been on Medicaid. While Anita wanted to go back to work,  to continue coverage of her health expenses,  the program wouldn't allow her to work more than 1-3 days a week.  She loves the restaurant industry,  but the cancer with covid,  prevented her from working at all.  <br /> Isaiah's place of employment, Xanterra travel collection, was basically full time,  but has been reduced hourly, largely due to covid this year,  so finances have been tight. <br /><br /><br />Message from Isaiah:<br />"I've searched desperately for answers and found the damage chemo does often outweighs the positive.  We've tried and researched so many different methods. I discovered chrisbeatcancer.com, which is a holistic approach, and after countless hours and days, more research,  I pitched the idea to Anita,  and her retired mom,  who was looking after her while I worked. <br />We both became vegan, I wanted to be on the journey with her as much as possible. <br />At first she avoided chemo,  but in early 2019 began low dose chemo while doing her best to stick to the holistic coaching plan via chrisbeatcancer.com at the same time. At her oncology clinic in Golden,  they believed in a holistic approach as well as chemo. Things were going well.  She eventually switched to UC health, where they strictly were about chemo,  surgery or radiation,  they increased the chemo to full dosage. It was really hard and took its toll. <br />Anita has always preferred immunotherapy which is another cancer treatment method,  but they don't accept insurance. They have clinics in AZ, the price is outrageous,  and they don't accept insurance.  <br />Mistletoe therapy is another approach that she is open to, while pricey, there are clinics in the denver,  boulder area. Her UC health oncologists which have always told her that she can't recover from heart condition   are pushing hospice. <br />She's been bedridden the past week or two... and in extreme pain. Desperately trying to implement other methods of treatment to avoid hospice,  it's probably going to be 10s of  thousands of dollars, at least if we get her to immunotherapy in AZ. She has two consultations with two different clinics on 8/13 and 8/18 but they have to treat Anita from her mom's place since she's been bedridden and it's too painful for her to drive anywhere too far.  <br />First order is to get her strength back,  pain reduced,  and walking again She's barely eating. Get pain meds and cancer,  leave her without an appetite.<br />A physician told me to see about getting her weed to get her appetite back and help with pain/nausea. <br />She's been off chemo for a couple of months now at least.  <br />She's heavily on pain meds, i.e opiods, etc.  <br />I'm not giving up. <br />Her sons used to get her edibles from the dispensary which helped with the nausea and pain, but they'd make her high which she didn't like.<br />When we first met in May 2007, it was pretty much love at 1st sight, we talked and hung out all the time, and have been together ever since. " <br /><br />Let's show Anita and Isaiah that they are not alone at this difficult time.
