<div>Hello Friends &amp; Family! Hope you are doing well. A dear friend of mine has been facing some challenges for a few months. Her story is below. I know how hard it is for people to be vulnerable when they are going through a difficult time. I believe in the power of community &amp; I know that we all can come together to help this beautiful young woman. Any amount will be helpful. Please donate what you can. Thank you all in advance for your support ❤️

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I would like to share my story with you. I am just an ordinary woman whose deepest wish as a child was to become a loving mother. Sadly, after facing a series of heartbreaking events, I lost that cherished dream in a profoundly cruel way. The weight of my grief and the hardships I've endured led me to a dark place where I made a desperate attempt on my life.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Miraculously, I was granted a second chance, yet the road to healing has been a challenging one. After spending five difficult months in a hospital and then transitioning to a treatment center, I found myself in a precarious housing situation. Despite the overwhelming odds, I took a brave step forward by negotiating a stay on my eviction and reaching a repayment agreement with my landlord.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Unfortunately, the job market has not been kind to me, putting my repayment plan at risk. <strong>I now find myself reaching out to my community, hoping for support during this incredibly tough time.</strong> The weight of my rental arrears has reached <strong>$11,000</strong>, and I understand that every little bit helps. I am genuinely grateful for any assistance you can offer. Thank you for considering helping me in my time of need.

</div>

From Despair to Hope: Lend a Hand

<div>On April 23, 2025, our family experienced a life-changing tragedy when a fire destroyed our home and everything we owned. While we are incredibly grateful that everyone made it out safely, we are now faced with the overwhelming task of starting over from scratch.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We are reaching out for support as we work to rebuild our lives — every donation will help provide essentials like clothing, food, temporary shelter, and the basic needs we lost in the fire. Your kindness, prayers, and contributions mean more to us than words can express.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for standing with our family during this difficult time.

Family Needs Help After Fire Loss

<div>Dear Friends, Art Lovers, and Supporters of Creativity,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>We urgently need your help to save our beloved art school.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For years, <strong>Mosaic Minds Art Academy</strong> has been a hub of creativity, innovation, and education, shaping the next generation of artists and creatives. Continuously voted as one of the top art schools in our county and even state, we’ve nurtured hundreds of young artists—many of whom have gone on to win prestigious awards, attend art-focused colleges, and use their talents to potentially make an impact in the world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, due to a combination of rising costs, reduced funding, low enrollment, and economic challenges, we are now facing financial hardship. We have always tried to keep classes affordable, focusing more on our purpose instead of financial gain. Without immediate financial support, we will be forced to make major changes to our programs, taking with us countless opportunities for aspiring artists who rely on our unique programs and community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But we believe in the power of community. We believe in the power of art. And we believe that with your help, we can keep this dream alive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our goal is to raise $5,000 to cover operational costs and sustain our programs for another year while we explore long-term solutions. We have applied for grant money and are hoping to secure some grants to help. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a difference. Your generosity will directly:
</div>
<div>Keep our doors open, allowing us to continue offering world-class art education.
</div>
<div>Preserve a vibrant art community that inspires, educates, and empowers local talent.
</div>
<div>By supporting this campaign, you’re not just helping save a school—you’re saving the safe space and peace that our creative kids have found amongst their tribe. Together, we can ensure that future generations of artists have a place to grow, learn, and express themselves.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please consider donating today. Share our story with your friends, family, and fellow art lovers. Your support means everything to us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With heartfelt gratitude,
</div>
<div>Summer King

<div><strong>Support Our Students: Transform Lives at HBCUs</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dear Friends,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am Dr. Stacey Patton, a dedicated educator, journalist, author, and fervent advocate for the education of young individuals, especially those enrolled in historically black colleges and universities.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In 2016, as a new journalism professor at Morgan State University, I quickly discovered that many of my students faced insurmountable challenges in affording necessary textbooks, a problem magnified by the soaring costs of higher education. The financial strain encompassing tuition, housing, meals, and books is a pervasive issue affecting students nationwide.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Many students rely on financial aid and grapple with food and housing insecurity, among other obstacles. These students are often the first in their families to pursue higher education, without the support of their families. Some juggle the responsibilities of parenthood and work alongside their studies, while others battle significant health challenges. Determined to support their success, I felt compelled to act.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over the past 11 semesters, thanks to the incredible generosity of individuals like you across the country, we have raised nearly $200,000!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our Program in Action
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>This semester, our goal is to raise $25,000 to support at least 100 students at both Morgan State and Howard University.</strong> Funds will be equally distributed between the two institutions. Regardless of their major, each student completes a form and provides a list of required textbooks. On a first-come, first-served basis, they can receive up to $250. This assistance also covers course software and access codes, hotspots for those facing internet connectivity challenges, and essential digital equipment for production courses.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, the demand is immense, and I often have to turn away students due to limited funds. Some students need assistance to acquire laptops, digital tools for their courses, or specialized software. The more funds we raise, the more students we can help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recipients have shared that this textbook fund has been transformative, significantly enhancing their academic performance and ability to complete their coursework. Every dollar you contribute, regardless of the amount, makes a tangible difference. Our students deeply appreciate your kindness.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>By investing in these young individuals today, we are investing in a brighter future for all of us. Every single dollar you donate is much appreciated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With heartfelt gratitude,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dr. Stacey Patton

The Ida B. Wells Textbook Fund: Empowering HBCU Students

<div>Hi my name is Julia and I am one of the many auntie’s of Fajr. On July 11, 2022, Fajr was complaining of pain to her right knee. After several tests to figure out what was wrong with the princess it was confirmed that she has osteosarcoma (bone cancer). Osteosarcoma (also called osteogenic sarcoma) is the most common type of cancer that starts in the bones. The cancer cells in these tumors look like early forms of bone cells that normally help make new bone tissue, but the bone tissue in an osteosarcoma is not as strong as that in normal bones. The money raised will assist the family greatly as treatment requires for Yasmika to be home with her for a minimum of seven months. All proceeds will go towards medical and other expenses due to Yasmika not being able to work. Everyone who knows Fajr knows that she has a vibrant personality, she is not the average five year old as you never know what will come out of her mouth. She is the apple of her mother’s eyes and with prayer and endless support, Fajr will overcome this battle.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This has been such devastating news for all of us and everyone’s support is needed. Any money that is donated will be greatly appreciated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you
</div>

Fajr and Yasmika

<div>Louis Ken-Kwofie, 53, who was both a loving husband and tenderhearted father to four beautiful children: Adiel (11), Aviel (11), Benedict (6) and Angel (3) passed away on June 25th of 2022 following a courageous battle against Pancreatic Cancer.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>As the head coach of the Hudson High School Soccer team, Louis brought an infectious energy full of charisma and spirit to everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. His love for soccer is seen all throughout his life, as he was a professional player himself. His colleagues remember Louis as the man whose love for soccer reached far beyond any other. It was seen through his ability to rally his teammates and his enthusiasm to win.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Needless to say, Louis Ken Kwiofe is a man who is beloved by many, and his love for soccer was just a piece of what he had to offer. During the offseasons, Louis would visit his family in Ghana and make it a point to hold various charity events in the hopes of helping communities in need.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>His compassionate persona is something that cannot be replicated, and through his passing, will be forever missed. If you have had the pleasure of knowing Louis, consider yourself lucky, because he was truly a light in this world.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>In this time of hardship, he is survived by his wife and four children. To honor the man Louis was, and what he brought to those he has touched, it would mean the world if you can help contribute to the continued care and education of his children.
</div>

Help Support the Louis Ken-Kwofie Family

<div>Hi, I am one Sophie Blanton’s grandmothers. For the last nineteen months Sophie has been on a medical journey that has had many curves and bumps. She has been though two bone marrow transplants in an effort to better her health. Sophie is 20 years old and has fought ITP, which is a blood disorder that has caused the loss of blood platelets. Soon after these diagnosis Sophie was diagnosed with Common Variable Immune Deficiency, which requires monthly IV infusions and close watch on surroundings health wise. Sophie has suffered from many infections as a result. Sophie was offered a bone marrow transplant (BMT) by her immunologist. He shared that the BMT would/could give Sophie the chance at a healthier life.
</div>
<div>The first BMT which started 7/6/20 was unsuccessful. A second BMT started early 2021 and the results have been less than favorable. Sophie has spent as much time in the hospital as at home in the last 19 months. Sophie’s mother has been with her inpatient and when at home since the beginning and unable to work. Sophie’s father has done his best to keep the home fires burning trying to make ends meet with his income when there was once two incomes.
</div>
<div>I am asking that if you are able that you help us lighten the load of Sophie’s family economically by donating to our GoFundMe account.
</div>
<div>You can also help through your prayers and sharing this post for others who might be able to help.
</div>
<div>Thank you from our family for any assistance you might be able to share.
</div>
<div><br />

Sophie’s Medical Journey

<font color="#333333">Hello everyone, a few days ago a extremely upsetting and repulsive racist video was sent to the most beautiful 14 year old girl. The video was attacking her racially and mentally with multiple threats made. She has been in an ongoing battle with racism and mental health for a while now. This video was not only disgusting but extremely offensive and hurtful. The sigin family is one of the most caring giving amazing family I have ever met and if you knew them you would know they don’t deserve any of this. Nobody does. I created this GoFundMe page to help raise a college fund for this amazing girl and help and support her and her family with whatever they need. We would really appreciate anything you could help with whether it’s big or small. Thank you guys so much let’s make a change this time! :)</font>

Justice For The Sigin Family

<div>As the trial for the men who murdered Ahmaud Arbery on Feb 21, 2020 begins in Brunswick, GA many supporters have asked how they can support his mother Wanda Cooper who has worked so hard to get to this day. Ahmaud fought for his life as he was assailed by three armed men that hunted him down in their trucks. Since his murder his mother has fought to bring those men to justice at great personal expense. Wanda Cooper performed independent research that revealed conflicts among the prosecutors handling her son's murder investigation. She has traversed the state of Georgia and has gone as far as the Whitehouse and the seat of the United States Congress to demand justice for her son.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>In order to participate in the anticipated month-long trial Mrs. Cooper-Jones has had to leave her job and rent a home near the courtroom. If you would like to help provide relief during the course of the trial this fund will go directly to her and be used at her discretion.<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/60972549_1636034723969228_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="60972549_1636034723969228_r.jpeg" /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/60972549_1636034738671150_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="60972549_1636034738671150_r.jpeg" /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/60972549_163603481450102_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="60972549_163603481450102_r.jpeg" />

Supporting the Mother of Ahmaud Arbery

<div>To say Tehretta was loved by everyone would be a tremendous understatement and wouldn’t do her justice. Her greatest gift was to listen without judgement. It didn’t matter what it was but she gave love so much more than she received.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She was loving mother, aunt, niece, sister and daughter who became a self-taught painter and a self-taught social media manager for her younger sister’s start up magazine. Not an easy task but it’s safe to say she lived a very full life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tehretta transitioned to be with God on Tuesday morning, September 7, 2021. Our family is devastate by this loss. People have reached out to the family asking what they can do. So we have created this GoFundMe to help with funeral expenses and for her surviving three children. Whatever you give is greatly appreciated and the family thanks you so very much for your gift.
</div>

Tehretta Marie Wood, Gone Too Soon

<strong>Cristy and Sebastian need a break.</strong> Since you’re just coming from reading their story-- I don’t need to elaborate much. But they've carried such a heavy load, for so long. They’ve been living hand to mouth over the past year-and-a-half. Unpaid medical bills are piling up. Unpaid rent is piling up. And they are stretched to their limits because there’s no money to hire employees.<br /><br />They are the kind of people where a little help goes a long way. Both of them are so talented. Both of them are so hard working. The fact that they’ve managed to open a new restaurant during a pandemic, and survive for the past sixteen months—is a testament to their determination and the quality of Cristy’s food.<br /><br />But they've had so many bad breaks in life. (Or as Sebastian would say, 'challenges  to make you go deeper.') The stress is reaching a breaking point. The instability is killing them, especially with five daughters at home. We just need to get this weight off their shoulders for long enough for them  to breathe a little, and find their footing. As Sebastian told me: ‘We just need a little push, and we are ready to row.’ (He then added five rower emojis.) <br /><br />Cristy and Sebastian have been keeping the faith for so long. Through so much.<br /><strong>Please consider becoming part of part of their story, and part of their blessing.</strong>

Cristy and Sebastian Need A Break

Hello Family/Friends,<br /><br />On Sunday afternoon, June 28, 2020, Mommy and Papi Lefort home caught fire.  We are thankful that their lives were spared, however, most of their personal belongings were lost in the fire (through fire and water damage).  As we work on next steps and move forward to help them rebuild and find a new home, any assistance you can provide to help them begin to rebuild their home lives (to purchase new furniture, clothes, secure deposits for a new location, payment of storage fees will be appreciated).<br /><br />Thank you.<br /><br />Dieufort "Tache" &amp; Anide Eustache

<p>On the night of July 6th, my cousin Darius Eveline 25, was fatally shot and killed on the streets of Baltimore. He was such a joy to be around and if you knew him, you knew you’d be laughing no matter what mood you were in. He had a smile that was infectious and would light up any room he walked into. Due to this heinous act he will be leaving behind a 7 year old daughter and another child on the way who unfortunately will never have the opportunity to meet, grow up and be loved by their father. Please help us in anyway you can to reach our goal so we can properly lay my cousin to rest. Anything at all will help. Thank you in advance for your assistance, it is greatly appreciated. ❤️
