Santiago, my dad, experienced a terrifying event today when a severe thunderstorm swept through our neighborhood. Winds reached up to 80 miles an hour, and a tree was lifted from its roots, landing directly on his car. He had just gotten home and parked two houses down, planning to cut the grass, but noticed the rain was about to start. Santiago decided to go to the grocery store to pick up some food, but realized he had forgotten to put his leaf blower away and went back to the garage. Within minutes, he heard a loud noise and saw one of our neighbors run out of their house. When he went to see what had happened, he saw the tree had fallen on top of his car. He was very upset and nervous to see his car windows all broken and his car smashed between branches. This car is the one he uses every day to get to and from work, and losing it has truly shaken him. We are truly thankful that he was not hurt. 
<br>
<br>
 The funds raised will be used to help Santiago purchase a new car so he can get back to work and regain his independence. This unexpected loss has been a huge blow to him, and we are hoping to rally support from our community to help him recover. Your kindness and generosity will make a real difference in his life, allowing him to move forward after this difficult event. 
<br>
<br>
 Thank you for taking the time to read our GoFundMe. If you are able to support in any way, we would truly be grateful. Thank you for all the kindness.

Help Santiago Recover After Storm Damage

<div>Audrie Pelosi, a cornerstone of the local climbing, cycling, and snowboarding scene, passed away at Devil's Lake State Park on May 30th, 2026. She was such a bright light in this world and brought so much joy to everyone she interacted with.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Audrie moved to Baraboo when she met Jimmy, a friend and coworker of mine, who I'm pretty sure was absolutely floored when he found out someone like her existed. They met at a snowboarding event and got married at Mount Bohemia shortly after. Everyone who knows them knows that they were made for each other - I have never met a more rad couple.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In my last conversation with Audrie, she joked about selling her handmade bike chain link earrings to anyone who wanted them for "free.99". It was such a simple statement made in passing, but it perfectly encapsulated who she was as a person. Even when she didn't have much, she would give things away freely without hesitation, whether that was earrings, a smile, a laugh, a quick bike tune up, or a belay.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please consider giving to Jimmy and the rest of her family to help cover any costs they may incur during her burial and service ❤️
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Whenever they are ready, the funds from this fundraiser will be transferred to Jimmy through the GoFundMe platform so that he can use them accordingly.

<div>Dear Friends and Family,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are writing to you today with a heartfelt request to help our kids, <strong>Jen and Mike Dean</strong>, rebuild their life after a fire that destroyed everything.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At 4:45 AM Thursday morning, October 10, 2024, Jen and Mike woke to the sound of breaking glass. Within 45 seconds and attempting to extinguish the fire coming from their kitchen, they were forced to exit their home with their dog, Willow. (Dinah, their cat, didn’t make it.) Within 5 minutes, several fire departments were on site trying to extinguish a fire that fully engulfed their home in Brooklyn Park.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We arrived to find our kids safe and unharmed (Thank God), wrapped in blankets and in the back of an ambulance. Todd, the fire marshal, told them several times how lucky they were to be alive, 2 more minutes it could have been a different outcome.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As you can see by the photo, Jen and Mike have literally lost everything. One can only imagine what the next days and months will bring as they navigate finding someplace to live and rebuilding everything: their home, important documents, computers, personal necessities—the list seems endless.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We humbly ask for your support in helping Jen and Mike. <strong>Any contribution, no matter how small, is so greatly appreciated.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jen &amp; Mike’s parents

Help Jen and Mike Dean Rebuild After Devastating Fire

<div>Clayton Howatt is a pillar of his Midway community- indeed the city of St. Paul. He is a supportive husband, loving father, and truly dedicated son, brother, friend, and neighbor.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He takes his many roles seriously and gives his all- and then some- to each. When his daughters were younger he founded a hockey team for them, then focused on finding teammates who might not otherwise be exposed to the sport. As they grew, so did his commitment to creating an inclusive hockey environment for all girls, especially those from underserved groups. Today, the Minneapolis-St. Paul Starwahls and the Minnesota Monarchs are thriving programs for girls across the metro area.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As PTO President of the underfunded neighborhood school his daughters attended, Clayton worked with teachers, parents, and students to shine a light on the beauty that was Galtier Elementary- even as it was on the edge of being permanently closed. This experience grew his heart for educational equity and led him to run for school board.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On Saturday, June 1, 2024, Clayton collapsed with a massive heart attack. Thankfully, the medical response was immediate. He is currently being treated on ECMO at the University of Minnesota Medical Center, with machine number 32 doing the work his heart and lungs are currently unable to. While it is early in his recovery journey, the writing is already on the wall in terms of financial impact for these two small business owners and their family of four.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Clayton is a general contractor and small business owner who founded Verus Builders, LLC and Kristin owns and singlehandedly runs Sweet Fruci’s Frozen Delights- a food truck used to support her family and community, including the handful of teens she employs and adores.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Clayton and Kristin embody humility and I am exceedingly grateful to have their approval to share their story and allow me to ask for financial support on their behalf. Clayton will be out of work and require care for months- the same months Kristin’s icecream business is at its busiest. Kristin will no doubt work more than any of us would like to see, but even that is unlikely to be enough to cover their typical bills, let alone these additional medical expenses.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Kristin is already overwhelmed with the immediate outpouring of support shown to her family and has insisted that this fundraiser be accompanied by a disclaimer to only give if you can. No pressure. As for me, I want you all to know that she and Clayton have already paid it forward more than most- and if the funds raised exceed their needs, those funds will go right back into continuing to do so. That’s just how they roll.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Wherever you are, you can help by contributing financially to this fundraiser. If you’re local, you can also help by following Sweet Fruci’s Frozen Delights on social media and filling up on icecream this summer. You can offer words of support and love on <a href="https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/claytonhowatt" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Clayton’s Caring Bridge site</a> as well.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for caring and for donating to this deserving family.

Duke Dudgeon Memorial

<div>This is hard. Thinking about the people you love dying is hard. Asking for help is hard. And watching someone young and vibrant valiantly fight an illness only to have the disease win is often almost unbearable. But yet, here we are. And here I write on behalf of my dear friends Michelle and Travis Johnson, asking for help as her battle with cancer is coming to an end.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On October 27, 2023 our dear Michele was given 2 weeks to live and moved to in home hospice. She first began fighting breast cancer 6 years ago. She kicked its ass, but it then spread to her brain. She has been a warrior, fighting hard every step of the way, while still smiling, cracking jokes, and shining her light to those of us who are lucky enough to know and love her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Her journey has not been easy, and as doctors advised that treatment be stopped, friends, family, and her loving husband Travis prepared for the worst to come quickly. But Michelle did what she always has done... she kept fighting. Now, over 2 and a half months after being told she would survive 2 weeks at best, she is still with us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Travis has been by her side 24/7 since she was moved to hospice. He cares for her morning, noon, and night, administering medications, taking care of her personal care, cooking, cleaning, and tending to every need she has moment to moment. He has been unable to work for months as he cannot leave her side.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But Michelle's health is declining and her time with us is quite limited. The ultimate outcome will not be what anyone wished for, but my hope is that with this fundraiser, we can take some additional stress off of Travis as he spends what time is left with her. As wonderful of a caregiver as he has been, her care is quickly becoming more than he can manage alone, making it necessary to get more assistance which is of course an added expense. There will be funeral costs as well, and we want Travis to be able to just focus on Michelle and not have to worry about the immediate future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you've read this far, you either know and love Michelle and Travis or you've connected to her story in some way. These kinds of requests are immensely difficult to write. You struggle to find exactly the right words in the hopes that you can convince someone to open their heart and to give, choosing and discarding those words over and over. How do you express on a page how important, how amazing or how loved a person is? How do you convince someone to sacrifice something, whether it's the time it takes to donate or giving up the fancy latte to do it, to help out another human being? I really hope that something I've said here, or more likely something she's done for you, has moved you to the decision to help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you, much love, and tons of gratitude.
</div>
<div><br />

</div>
<div>More surgery.   Problems with my car loan.  More surgery.   Keeping up with bills.   More surgery.   Hey I have another surgery today!   We are getting closer to the part where they put me back together.  But right now I just feel like I'm falling apart.  
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

</div>
<div>Here's a post I made today on my blog: <a href="https://jameseichenberger.com/april-3" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://jameseichenberger.com/april-3/" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://jameseichenberger.com/april-3/</a></a>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>There is also a link to a video. New voice. It's kind of amazing. big surgery on March 11th, so still in pretty heavy recovery mode, but it's going well, and for that I am very thankful... despite also being very impatient.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Updates October 5th:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Wow. Summer flew by. And soon we'll be doing all the holiday stuff. I'm really feeling like things are moving fast, I had a scan earlier this week to start getting ready for a reconstruction surgery on my face. That always felt like something that was "out in the future".
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am also still, a stage 4 cancer patient. My surgeon feels comfortable moving forward because the scans in my face have been clean. As always, this will be a "can we get insurance to pay for it" thing, so hopefully my health continues to improve and this all goes my way.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Again, a million thanks to everyone who donated, it is SO appreciated. I was going to work on a really nice "thank you" picture, but I also need to try to stay focused on work. I will make a nicer one, I promise.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If anyone wants to share this with their friends who bought Bitcoin at $0.00002 or whatever, please do. If you have any recommendations for my thank you sign please let me know.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />

<div>Gonna share some of the "thank you" images I didn't use here.

<div>Update: July 31:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This feels weird to say now, but I was honestly scared to put this out. I was afraid this was going to be an embarrassment and that my mom and sister were going to give me a few dollars and then it would just fade out.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Instead it was shared and filled and overwhelming to me instantly.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have felt very out of touch with so many people with this cancer and covid double up thing. The money is a huge help, but honestly feeling the love from all of these people... from all of YOU people... has been by far the most rewarding thing about this whole experience.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The words "Thank You" don't even being to express how I feel. Your support emotionally and financially means so very much to me. The hospital will get pretty much all of the money, but I feel like a very rich person having this type of support from so many wonderful people.

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hello, thank you for coming and checking out my page.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In 2019, I was diagnosed with Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma. It's a pretty rare cancer and unfortunately has a very high recurrence rate (that maybe foreshadowing... read on!!). I was originally treated with surgery and then once I was well enough after the resection surgery, I went through 7 weeks of radiation and chemo. It was rough on me and my family, but we got through it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The weeks and months that followed were full of intense emotion and a lot of adjustment and worry. Huge toll on my mental health as I'm sure you'd imagine. Trying to just "keep on living" while working through daily pain, difficulty talking, almost constant appointments... blah blah. It was a lot to manage. So much gratitude for my nurses, doctors, therapists, techs and everyone else who helped me get in and out of the countless appointments as easily as possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I had some clean scans, but still worried. My doctor was sure that doing "local" scans was enough. The idea was that if there was a recurrence, it would happen in the original site. That same doctor VERY much went to bat for me to get the full body scan approved and I am thankful that I had a doctor who was willing to take the time to listen to me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Through the recovery process, it was a challenge to just keep up with insurance premiums. Meanwhile, all of the medical bills just sort of piled up.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So, I need some help. It's hard to ask, but I feel like without some help getting rid of the old AND currently building medical balance is going to be impossible. A tiny bit of help, helps. Sharing this post... helps.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To be honest, I hate telling people I have cancer because it just feels like a bummer thing to talk about. So... I'll probably make 1,000 edits to this and hopefully add some fun content too, but we're going to put this out there now...
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for considering helping. Love to you all. Be Well.
</div>

James Needs Help.  Cancer in the USA is tough.

<div>It is with a heavy heart that we share the devastating news of Michael Brasel's passing. Michael tragically was shot and killed outside of his home. Our thoughts and prayers are with Michael's family and loved ones during this unimaginably difficult time. Michael and Hillary have two boys, Oliver in Grade 8 and Miles in Grade 5. Michael will always be remembered for his unwavering love for his children, his unbreakable bond with his wife Hilary, and his infectious spirit that touched the lives of everyone he met. He was a devoted coach who inspired and encouraged countless young athletes to achieve their full potential.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Rest in peace, Michael. Your kindness, passion, and selflessness will continue to inspire and impact the lives of those you touched. Your absence leaves a tremendous void in our community and hearts.
</div>

Help Support the Brasel Family

<div>There are many ways people may know Terry. My family is lucky to have had him join our family when he married my oldest sister Cherie. You may have played ball with him, been a customer at their grocery store or you may have wandered into Tiffany's Bar in St. Paul on a St. Patrick's day and met him for the first time when he came to your table with a bottle of Jameson to offer you a drink to toast someone dear to you. When anyone needed a place to stay - he had a room. If you needed a ride - he'd be right over. He's the guy that has your back and will offer up solutions to help. He's the type of person that makes you feel, not just important, but the most important person in the room (unless, of course, Cherie's also in the room with you). He's battling cancer. Hearing that word is bad enough but adding the stress of doctors and hospital bills makes it more daunting. Please consider donating to help give him some peace of mind and pray we can all raise a glass and get him home.

<div>September of 2022 our brother-in-law Kevin Peck (age 54), was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer with a spot on the liver. Kevin is employed with Lakes Gas of Bemidji and continues to work when he is able, usually the week after chemo treatments. The chemo treatments make Kevin very tired in the days that follow the treatments.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Five months later in February of 2023 our sister Angie Peck (age 49), who is married to our brother-in-law Kevin, was also diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer with a spot on the liver as well. Angie is a teacher with Red Lake Elementary and has been a teacher for 20+ years. Angie continues to work every other week between chemo appointments.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Kevin and Angie have a 15-year-old daughter, Sadie Peck who is a freshman at Bemidji High School. Sadie is busy with schoolwork, being involved in choir, friends, and her job at Classic Cuts hair salon in Bemidji. To this point they have been able to keep up with Sadie’s needs for driving to work and school events along with working as they can and medical appointments. They are working as hard as they can to keep Sadie’s day-to-day life happenings and schedule as regular as possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Kevin and Angie have chemo appointments every other week and their treatments are currently on the same week. Angie has chemo on Monday and Kevin has chemo on Tuesday.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are raising funds to assist the Peck family with medical expenses that medical insurance does not cover and day-to-day financial needs. Any amount helps greatly and would be very much appreciated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At the request of the family, please keep your focus on prayers for Kevin, Angie, and Sadie. Prayers for healthy healing are as important as any donation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you,
</div>

<div>My Uncle Mike has always been a bright light in my life. His love and support has also positively impacted many other lives, from parties at the cabin to performances for the Twin Cities Flamenco community. Many are aware of his five major joint replacements and his repaired broken right elbow, proving an indomitable spirit.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This winter, however, has thrown more medical hardships for Michael Hauser, and it’s not all due to the weather. After a hard fall while shoveling his driveway in early January, Michael developed an extensive blood clot in his leg. Due to his condition &amp; doctors’ orders, Michael has been confined to his home for the past few months.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This inability to play gigs in recent months, as well as the economic hit from fewer gigs during the years of COVID has drastically dwindled Michael’s financial resources. Your kind words and consideration in helping to build some funds for Michael would be greatly appreciated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is for this reason that we are mounting a Go Fund Me drive to raise some money to cover medical expenses as well as some cost of living expenses that he has been unable to cover. Thank you for your participation!

<div>We are fundraising on behalf of our sweet, energetic, dance-moves-for-days nephew, Cameron "Cam" Nielsen. In July 2022 before his second birthday, he suffered a focal seizure which led to a cascade of medical events and testing. Shortly thereafter, he was diagnosed with leukodystrophy; a rare, genetic condition that affects the white matter in the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord, nerves). This is a progressive neurological disorder that may cause impairments in vision, movement, appetite, cognition, behavior, balance, etc. It is a devastating and life-limiting disease.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We need your help in supporting this beautiful family as they navigate Cam's complex medical journey going into the next week(s) and month(s). He has a medical team in Eugene and Portland that are synchronously navigating a path forward as they learn more about the specifics of his condition, but there are still so many unknowns. Any given week could entail multiple doctor's visits, medical testing, PT/OT/speech, trips to/from Portland, and medication changes, amongst many other things that we have yet to comprehend. As one can imagine, the medical costs are exorbitant. Our goal is to raise enough money to ease their financial burden so they focus on the best interventions for precious Cam.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please join us in our quest to support the Nielsen family. There is no donation too small or prayer too long; they appreciate every single outreach and already feel the love from their village. On behalf of us (Amanda's family) and Amanda, John, Ben and Cam, you have our sincerest gratitude and deep appreciation.

<div>I have had the pleasure of being this talented young man's snowboard coach the last few seasons, alongside some other awesome coaches. Jaxson is a one-of-a-kind human being who always brings the essence of fun to the sometimes stressful world of competitive snowboarding. He has this infectious happy attitude/smile that was always a welcomed sight on the hill, but also is a fierce competitor when called upon. He, unfortunately, had a snowboarding accident and is in intensive care at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The snowboard community has always banded together to help one of their own. I know that Jaxson would be there for everyone in their time of need, so I am hoping we are all willing to be here in his time of need. He has a long road to recovery and this helping hand would alleviate some medical costs and assist in his journey back to snow. His family and I will keep this updated with his recovery process. Lastly another way you can help is by hashtagging #movesfortherealmoon and adding your snowboard clips/well wishes/prayers to your social media platforms. He always loves watching snowboarding and once he's able to it would be awesome to show him some of the videos you guys have made.

OUR FAVORITE RIDER JAXSON MOON NEEDS OUR HELP

<div>Kim and Reggie met in church in May 2009. He followed Kim outside and told her that God had told him to stick with her because she would be his angel and that is exactly what she turned out to be.  
</div>
<div><br />

<div>On January 2, 2023, Reggie said he couldn't breathe.  Kim called 911 and when he saw the ambulance coming up the street, he said "thank God", with his last breath before collapsing.  His heart had stopped and was not restarted until 14 minutes later when he arrived at the hospital and he was placed on life support with a severe brain injury from not receiving oxygen for those 14 minutes. On January 16th Kim, alongside Reggie's family, made the difficult decision to take him off life support and say goodbye.
</div>

</div>
<div>This GoFundMe is being established to help Kim navigate the many financial hardships of someone who has lost a loved one so suddenly.

<div>Hi my name is Hilliary I’m raising funds for my brother and his family. He’s had about as rough a go as you can have. He had a long battle with alcohol and has been clean almost 3 years(oct 26). One year after getting clean he got real sick and lost a bunch of weight. Turns out he had a tumor in his colon. Stage 4 colon cancer. Not only was it in his liver but also in his lymph nodes. He had major surgery to remove part of his colon, half his liver, his gallbladder, and his lymph nodes. After that he had many many rounds of chemo. He started chemo in March and in September was declared cancer free. At his first scan it had spread to his lungs and skin. It is now incurable. He just finished chemo round no 26 and will most likely be on chemo until he decides to stop taking them.  He’s has been out of work since January and has a family to take care. We are so grateful to have an audience to reach out to. Thank you guys so much for reading our story and considering donating.

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today, December 29th, 2022 Sean gave the gift of life to others in the Northland through multiple organ donation.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>Though Sean is not with us in body, the impressions he left on our hearts and spirits will never dim.  
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are grateful to have lived in a world radiant with Sean's smile, his quick wit, his laughter, music, and love.

</div>
<div>Update 12/27:
</div>
<div>Sean's condition is grave. We were overwhelmed by the magnitude of outpouring we received yesterday. Thank you to everyone who came to visit Sean, it was his wish to be surrounded by family and friends in a time like this, and Abbott Northwestern was incredible at helping to facilitate rotating loved ones through.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>There is no visitation today, as Sean is being evaluated for possible lifesaving duties as an organ donor.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you to everyone who has reached out, donated, and offered love during this impossible time. Our hearts are buoyed by your love and support.
</div>

<div>I'm Sean's cousin, Beth and I'm reaching out on behalf of Sean's family. All money raised here will go directly to his wife, Sam to help cover any associated costs from this time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sean underwent unexpected, emergency brain surgery Thursday, Dec. 22nd.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As you can imagine this is a shock to the entire family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We're in the waiting stages as we discover what the next steps will look like. Until then we know that major procedures like this can incur tremendous costs to families, even when health insurance is present. Life has been interrupted and is currently being lived from inside the walls of a hospital. Future costs are unknown and daunting.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We do know that Sean would want to continue to offer support to Tabby and Madeline, supporting upcoming events like birthday parties and summer camps. Sam has made it clear that it's a priority to her as well.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you're able to give to ease the burden of this emergency, every little bit is appreciated.

Help support Sean Lipinski's Family

<div>Hello friends, family, and strangers alike:)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Emma, I am 18 years old and I am so excited to share that <strong>I was recently accepted to attend a 10-week-long environmental leadership program at the Eco-Institute in North Carolina.</strong> <a href="https://eco-institute.org/rising-earth-transformative-permaculture-immersion#rising-earth-about" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Rising Earth Immersion</a> program is a <strong>gap semester experience</strong> starting in September 2022 that combines social justice work, environmental sustainability, and personal development.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For those who don't know me, I am a senior in high school taking PSEO college classes online. I live in Two Harbors Minnesota with my two moms, and my two big, lovable dogs. I love to read, write, hike and kayak, listen to music, and spend time with my friends and family. When I graduate high school, I will be 10 credits short of an Associates degree, (which I plan to complete during the summer) and I have plans to attend a four year college in Duluth MN within the next few years.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>During these 10 weeks<strong> living on an organic farm and Earth sanctuary</strong>, I will be engaging in <strong>homesteading classes, activism workshops, and career designing practices</strong> all while studying <strong>permaculture principles, spiritual ecology, and collective liberation</strong>. Taking into consideration that there are <strong>only twelve spots available</strong> for this program, I feel incredibly honored to have been selected for this opportunity! As I prepare to graduate high school and move into this transitional period in my life, I am seeking to create a stronger connection with myself, a stronger connection with the people around me, and a stronger connection with the natural world that exists around us. <strong>This program is the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me to strengthen those connections. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img class="m-text-editor-image" alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/63495885_1646255337368556_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This program will inevitably provide me with <strong>essential life skills</strong>, life-changing experiences, long-time friendships, as well as <strong>my first opportunity to travel independently.</strong> My intentions for participating in this program are not only to learn more about me and the future I want to create for myself, but also to be able to come back and share all I learn with my community in Two Harbors Minnesota. At the beginning of this year, my family bought 40 acres of land with the intentions of creating our own permaculture property and homestead sanctuary. <strong>I want to use the skills I acquire during this program to create a sustainable, progressive, and socially conscious oasis on the North Shore. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img class="m-text-editor-image" alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/63495885_1646255354525823_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The full tuition for this program is $12,000, however I'm happy to say that I have been lucky enough to have <strong>received a $1,500 scholarship</strong>. This leaves me with <strong>$10,500 of tuition to come up with</strong>. Currently, I am doing my part by working a part time job at a local coffee shop while i'm still in school. And while I do plan to take on more shifts this summer, I realistically won't be able to finance this experience alone. I would also like to stress that <strong>there is a deadline for my tuition!</strong> I have a down payment of <strong>$500 due by March 7th</strong>, the <strong>first $5,000 due by May 1st,</strong> and the <strong>second $5,000 due by June 1st. </strong>As you can see,<strong> </strong>I am looking to raise the full $12,000 taking into consideration the cost of travel as well as any extra spending I might do on this trip:)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While I do understand that this program may contradict the societal expectations of many students my age, I am confident that I will gain so much wisdom from this experience. With that, <strong>I ask that you help me support this unconventional opportunity to cultivate personal growth and intellectual discovery.</strong> I have no doubts that by participating in this program, I will have life experiences that will stay with me forever.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>So, if you are comfortable enough to support my participation in this extraordinarily unique opportunity, I would be beyond grateful for any contributions towards this once-in-a-lifetime trip. </strong>If you are unable to support me financially, you can suppport me by sharing this fundraiser with your friends and family! Thank you so much for your consideration to support me at this time in my life, and thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my story:)

Help Emma Attend The REI At The Eco-Institute!

<div>Hi, my name is Beth and I am fundraising for my cousin Bridget and her family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Just after midnight on January 13th, 2022 Bridget finished her shift, hopped in her car, and left work. When she was about a mile from her home she was struck and killed by a drunk driver. She is survived by her husband Cody, her partner Eddie and their six children.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The family is devastated to have lost their mother, wife and partner. It is an incredible shock. The world is worse off, missing such a curious, passionate, loving soul. The family is shell shocked and reeling. What we do know is that tragedies like this come with steep price tags for the families, funeral and burial costs, lost income and childcare all add up quickly.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are able to contribute, every little bit is appreciated and helps. All funds will go to Cody to help with funeral and associated costs, legal fees, and with the children.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you knew Bridget, you couldn't help but know her deep love for all things Harry Potter. With that in mind, I think we are all united by Albus Dumbledore's true words that in times like these, "You care so much you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain of it." Leaning on those around us, and sharing the unimaginable burden is the only way forward.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for being a part of our loving community.

Help support Bridget Clifton's family

Joe Weaver had a stroke on January 6th from a blockage in the brain. Literally, he was watching breaking news of the capital riots, fell over, and was rushed to the hospital. Without the quick thinking of his father (Papa Weaver) who called an ambulance while his parents drove him to the hospital, it might have been worse than it already is. He was in the ICU for 3 days while the doctors did tests on why a 35-year-old man had a stroke.<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/54080022_161119768847659_r.jpeg" alt="54080022_161119768847659_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br />Joe has been one of my best friends since starting Art college 12 years ago, #CVAforlife, and I have had the pleasure to work aside him for the last 7 years. I am making this GoFundMe page to help Joe out when he needs it the most, as he would never ever ask anyone for help. His mission in life is to help others. He is one of the most humble people I have met in my life. Humble was a word that we often heard at our company as it was one of our values. I often think of Joe when I hear that word going around the halls. Even in his sickness, he shows that feature strongly. He wants to support his and everyone's community. <br /><br />In October, he was laid off from his beloved Nerdery (due to the pandemic) as he is an in-person office employee, hopefully with the plan that he can come back when office life returns. Luckily his MNsure insurance kicked in on the 1st of the year, but he will be in and out of hospitals for a while to figure out why someone so young had a stroke. <br /><br />I held off till now but heard he has been worried about what bills will come, so he has been picking up hours at a place in Minneapolis that specializes in Guerilla Marketing, which requires long hours, tighter deadlines, and more physical work  for the last week (5 days after his stroke) to make sure he can support his son as a single father. He has a powerful supportive network, but I am reaching out to his beloved community of friends and family to ask for support for him. As he would never ask for money himself as there are always more important things, I ask for support from anyone who can give in this time and understand that some people might not be able to. Any amount is greatly appreciated!

Help Joe after stroke

We are having a financial crisis because Mike is having double bi-pass surgery.<br /><br />We were surprised by his heart failure at such a young age (40!), he is getting double bi-pass open heart surgery (they scheduled it 5 days after discovering he needed it!) on Wednesday, 8/19/20.  <br /><br />We were also shocked at the 3 month recovery time - no work for 3 months.<br /><br />We did not expect that we had failed to update the short-term and long-term disability on his insurance (we clicked the wrong box for updating it!), so no income at all for this time frame!  We had it the year before, but we clicked the "no election" instead thinking it meant our horror!<br /><br />We also were not expecting that he would need care during the recovery -- and that his brother (who just had a heart attack himself 3 weeks ago) and his mother (who is having major medical issues and needs care herself - all that came on suddenly for her and us!)  would not be able to help us out.   Yes, we have other friends/relatives who might be able to dedicate a few hours here or there, but even with that, Marcia will have to take off work from massage therapy - no income/benefits for her during that time either (some sick/PTO she had earned was used up from needing to take a COVID test and wait 7 days for the result)!  <br /><br />We were not expecting COVID-19 to strip us from any savings or buffer for this time.  We also already used all the "forbearance" and other options for all our loans/accounts.  The next step is for us to default on our cars and home.<br /><br />We also are embarrassed and mortified that we have to beg for help just because we should have been smarter.  We should have saved better.   We should have curbed our spending more.  We should have taken better care of our health.  We should, should, should, should.  We acknowledge that we are not the worst "neediest" people out there.  We are just really desperate. <br /><br />Thank you, for whatever you can help with.

<span style="font-size:1.0625rem;"><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/47767896_1588268776670926_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="47767896_1588268776670926_r.jpeg" />We write this with humbled and heavy hearts. But we remain hopeful as we've seen what the power of community can do. We are asking for help from you now so that we may be there for you when the world can re-open. We will all need a place to celebrate, to congregate, to gather</span><br />for hugs and handshakes and tears. We can't think of a better way to do all of those things than through music. And we can't think of a better place to do it than this magical little music venue we are lucky to call ours. <br /><br />The Ivy Room was never what we dreamed of when we came<br />together years ago and started developing a business plan. We both had worked in bars and venues and we simply wanted a neighborhood bar. Somewhere that people would walk to and everyone would know each other. A place that was home to everyone, a safe space, a watering hole. We got so much more than that. We quickly realized the Ivy had a history we just couldn't ignore. We pulled up our sleeves, shifted our vision, and spent endless hours pouring our heart and souls into this place. Like so many other small business owners, we sacrificed time with family, individual financial gain, sleep, and so much more. Every part of that sacrifice has been worth it to see what has now become of the Ivy. It's more magical than we could have imagined.<br /><br />We are proud of what we created and we come to you now asking to keep this special place alive. We don't know what the future holds. We know that the music industry is likely to be among the last fields of work to reopen. We know that music has always had a place for people<br />in times of need, in times of celebration, in times of tragedy. MUSIC WILL SURVIVE. THE VENUES MUST SURVIVE SO WE HAVE A PLACE TO PLAY. We are so grateful to the community that grew with us, embraced us and began to call the Ivy home prior to the shelter in place. We want to now be there for you. We want to host your local bands or throw that epic show. We want to host your musical heroes who you couldn't imagine seeing in such an intimate setting. We want to continue to be a gathering place for every person.<br /><br />Now for the logistics. We’ve applied for both PPP &amp; EIDL (loans and grants) and are still waiting on a response. It is unclear if relief funds will be available to the Ivy Room or if a music venue specifically will qualify for assistance during this time. To think we may end up having to pay an SBA loan back plus deferred rent while being required to limit our room capacity size is an alarming thought. Our venue will financially suffer undoubtedly for some time.<br /><br />Please consider supporting us by donating whatever you are comfortable with. This ask is hard. We know times are tough for so many people. But we remain hopeful and are trying our best every day to keep this business open for the long haul.<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing you all on the other side.<br />PLEASE take a minute to share this post so we have the best chance of exposure.<br /><br />Love,<br />Summer &amp; Lani<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/47767896_1588268805487396_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="47767896_1588268805487396_r.jpeg" /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/47767896_1588268524436381_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="47767896_1588268524436381_r.jpeg" /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/47767896_15882687093018_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="47767896_15882687093018_r.jpeg" />

Hello friends and family, we NEED you! As many of you know Angie was diagnosed with breast cancer 2 1/2 years ago during her pregnancy. Angie was able to receive treatments and surgery and beat cancer for a short time. Unfortunately her cancer has reappeared and it is more complex and comes with more uncertainty. Angie has been diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer, which has appeared in her spinal fluid, only 3% of breast cancer survivors get diagnosed with this. In Angie fashion, her spirits are strong and she is ready to fight and kick cancer a second time. Treatments will be more intense and require more hospital stays. Due to covid only Jeremie is allowed to visit her in the hospital. Due to Angie being unable to work and Jeremie needing to be by her side, this will have a significant financial impact on the family with loss of income and medical bills.
Any amount of donation you can give will make a BIG difference in their situation. Your dollars and support give hope, peace of mind and strength to fight!
I know how much we all want to help in times like these and often we dont know how to help. Your prayers and financial support is what Angie and Jeremie need at this time.
Please consider donating, every donation helps, and please share with your friends and family. Nobody likes Cancer and together we can beat it! God Bless

Be Silly Project: Raising Money for Masks

On 7/5/18, my dog and I were viciously attacked my an off leash dog belonging to one of our neighbors. I was alone other than the other dogs owner. it was some black lab that is notoriously agressive and the woman let it out of her fenced in yard. We already have to cross the street when it’s IN the fence because it has bitten <span style="font-size:1.0625rem;">Rhu through the fence once, and we crossed the street from then on. She had her dog out on the driveway and off leash, I called out to her to grab her agressive dog, she did not, and the dog zeroed in on us. It charged at us from across the street while snarling and barking at us. Stupidly I scooped my dog up and tried to turn to run and the dog was attacking us and I had to put barb on the ground and that dog wouldn’t let up and I stood there screaming to the owner to “GET YOUR F****** DOG” repeatedly between screaming bloody murder and the woman stood across the street saying “I don’t know what you want me to do” while not making any attempt to approach her dog, or even cross the street, and I stood in the middle of this. Luckily a flock of neighbors came out. One had a taser and thought it was me being attacked and he tased my dog a few times because he didn’t know what happened but wanted to save me. He was able to break the fight with the taser. Then my dog bolted home bleeding profusely. The owner of the dog proceeded to approach me as other neighbors were helping me up off the sidewalk, to yell at me because her dog got bit and had some blood on it. My dog was absolutely demolished by this dog. He has several drains in his side along with LOTS of stitches. We didn’t get him back from the ER Vet until 2:30 am and he was so disoriented all he could do was whimper and yelp all night so Matt stayed up with him reading him picture books. He pissed his bed and didn’t even notice and was in so much pain we couldn’t even clean him up</span><span style="font-size:1.0625rem;">. </span><br /><br />He was able to make it through the night and Matt and I took turns sleeping so that Rhu always had someone with him. His health was not improving so we had to bring him for inpatient treatment at the vet where they took additional X-rays and ran tests to ensure that he would make it through. <br /><br />Eventually he was able to  come home to us. We picked him up from the vet and he was able to give us a little tail wag when he saw us which was SUCH a light in our darkness. <br /><br />The woman who owned the attacking dog had her dog placed in quarantine through Animal Control because her dog bit me when trying to get to my dog. She did not apologize and has no intention of paying my or my dogs medical bills. After 3 days she made the decision to euthanize her dog due to her inability to pay for the mandatory 6 foot fence, muzzle, and bail. <br /><br />While every part part of me wants to file the lawsuit against her, there is a small part of me that is going to show her some basic human decency and mercy. It was never her intention for this to happen. She gets to live my ultimate nightmare of this event; her dog had to die from this incident. She truly doesn’t have the money to keep her own dog alive. <br /><br />We we have put all of our bills on credit cards so far, but the costs are just getting too high. Our dog is our entire life. Every day revolves around our dog and this event has truly traumatized my little family. The most important part of this is that our dog survived despite the odds. He is truly a priceless member of our family.<br /><br />Right now, every single dollar helps. It is not easy to ask for money, and we wish we didn’t have to. We’re just trying to keep Rhu alive. He means the world to us and we want to make sure he gets to see his third birthday next week. <br /><br />Please consider making a donation. We will be eternally grateful. <br /><br />Id like to extend a huge thanks to our neighbors who came running when they heard a woman screaming. That alone makes me feel hopeful and grateful toward this community. Additionally I’d like to thank the team of veterinarians who worked round the clock to keep Rhu alive and stopped his bleeding. Without you, our little guy would have never stood a chance. <br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/31158354_153109261491514_r.jpeg" alt="31158354_153109261491514_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/31158354_1531092771136562_r.jpeg" alt="31158354_1531092771136562_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/31158354_1531092798976336_r.jpeg" alt="31158354_1531092798976336_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" />
