 As many of you know, we have owned Gol- a small, family-owned business in SE Portland- for 6 1/2 years. It has become a beloved spot for the local neighborhood and fans of football far and wide.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Unfortunately Gol suffered a devastating fire after midnight on September 15th when we were closed. Luckily no one was hurt or injured and we are grateful for the quick and brave actions of the Portland firefighters.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Nevertheless, Gol was severely damaged and we will be closed for some time while we recover. We are fundraising to cover our expenses and losses from the fire and to support our staff during this difficult time.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 We love our community and we appreciate everyone's support!

<div>Con mucho dolor compartimos la triste noticia del fallecimiento de nuestra querida hermana Juanita Ramos, quien partió de este mundo después de traer a su bebé a la vida en Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Juana deja atras tres hij@s y su bebe recien nacido.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Hoy su familia enfrenta un gran dolor y la difícil situación de reunir los fondos necesarios para repatriar su cuerpo a su tierra natal, Joyabaj, Quiché, donde sus seres queridos esperan darle el último adiós.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Cualquier apoyo que puedan brindar, por pequeño que sea, será de gran ayuda para cumplir su último deseo y dar consuelo a su familia y a su bebé. ¡Gracias por su generosidad y sus oraciones!

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>It is with heavy hearts that we share the heartbreaking loss of our beloved sister, Juanita Ramos, who passed away shortly after bringing her baby into the world in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Juanita leaves behind four children, including her newborn baby, who will grow up without their mother’s love and care. Her family is now living through unimaginable pain while also facing the challenge of raising funds to bring her home to Joyabaj, Quiché, so her loved ones can lay her to rest and say their final goodbyes.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Any donation, no matter the amount, will make a difference and help fulfill Juanita’s last wish. Your generosity will bring comfort to her grieving family and give her children the chance to one day know that their mother was laid to rest with love and dignity. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support, prayers, and kindness during this painful time.

<div>As some of you may know, my Mom (Teresa) was very recently diagnosed with stage 4 Cholangiocarcinoma, better known as Bile Duct Cancer. We are devastated and still in shock. On March 20th, she will bravely begin her first session of Chemotherapy to help shrink the tumor and hopefully lessen some of her symptoms.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Our family, and my Mom in particular, has felt so much love and support from our friends and family, and we cannot express our gratitude enough.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We had never thought of setting up a GoFundMe, nor did we ever intend to set an account up. However, as friends and family have reached out in the past few weeks wanting to help support us with donations and searching for a place to donate financially, my Mom and I decided to create this GoFundMe. With any financial support given, we will be aiming to cover my Mom’s known insurance out-of-pocket expenses, but we do know there will be many unforeseen events on this journey in her health. <strong>If you choose to support our family financially, here is the place, though it is not expected or asked of you.</strong> That being said, we appreciate ANY and all types of support such as a visit at the house, spending time with us, sending a kind text, or making a quick phone call, etc. Thank you again for loving, supporting, caring, and thinking about my family, but most importantly, my Mom and best friend.

<div>Friends, Family, and the wider community:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m reaching out today with a call for continued help. My cousin Terry (Junior) who a few months ago informed me of his diagnosis of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma cancer.  Since going through chemotherapy and eventually radiation has experienced some major setbacks in his battle against Lymphoma and other complications which have him hospitalized and bedridden since August 5th.  Though given weeks to live, he has finally been transferred to The City of Hope Hospital and by the grace of God started to show some signs of improvement.  
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He’s been incredibly brave and courageous in trying to manage things prior to receiving his treatments. He did well initially before receiving the news of the cancer spreading to other areas of his body.  He has since become unemployed and the enormous cost associated with being in the hospital and killing this cancer has taken an enormous toll. He has exhausted all his savings and relied on family, friends, and the generosity of the donations from GFM he's received thus far. I’ve upped the goal to $25,000 and <em>ANY</em> donation…$5, $10, $20, or more is deeply appreciated to continue maintaining his rent and basic bills: car insurance, utilities, and his cell phone.  Though we want him to focus on getting better, due to some loss of his memory he still thinks he's lost his home and car, but be assured he hasn't.  Please know that EVERY cent minus the fees GFM charges are sent directly to his account.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you in advance for whatever you can contribute and for ANY  uplifting words of encouragement. Please share this far and wide…every dollar helps. Though we’re cousins, before being blessed with siblings Terry was and still is my brother but I've found over the weeks that he has cultivated an amazing community of friends near and far that love and support him and we all want him around to grow old with.

We saw over 600 animals, primarily koalas, come through the Wildlife Park as a direct result from the bushfires. We have successfully treated, rehabilitated and released over 200 animals back to the wild now with around 30 joeys still here at the park on bottles and growing to release weight.<br /><br />Even through it's now been six months we are still seeing a few koalas come in. We've had two in the last few weeks. One was found with infections to several fingers and burns that were healing and the other came from a burnt out area with barely any food in sight and just needed to be moved on.<br /><br />It has been an absolutely overwhelming ride through the bushfires and we cant thank everyone enough. We couldnt have done it without you all and your incredible donations. Your funding has helped us with vet fees, medications, establishing the enclosures and hospital and so much more. You helped us save every life we could and we are so thankful.<br /><br />Going forward your amazing donations will help us to protect, save and conserve Kangaroo Islands incredible wildlife.<br /><br /><span style="text-decoration:underline;">January 2020</span><br />Due to the recent tragic bushfires, the Kangaroo Island Wildlife Park has received a lot of concerned phone calls and messages regarding the impacted wildlife from these fires. <br /><br />Over the past few days we have started to see a large number of injured koalas, along with other native species heavily impacted by this event. We have been treating these victims as best we can to supply pain relief, antibiotics, treatment to wounds and basic husbandry requirements. We spent most of January 3rd building extra holding enclosures as well as defending the park from the immediate threat of the fire. We will continue to prepare more infrastructure to house the extra wildlife we expect to see over the coming weeks. <br /><br />For those of you who would like to contribute we are asking for funds to help with veterinary costs, koala milk and supplements, extra holding/rehabilitation enclosures, as well as setting up a building to hold supplies to treat these animals.<br /><br />We are working around the clock with a highly experienced, qualified and dedicated team of volunteers including qualified vets, vet nurses and wildlife carers to rescue, rehabilitate and care for all of the animals coming in from the bushfires.<br /><br />On admittance to us, all efforts are made to rehydrate, treat and assess the wildlife by our vet care team. Many are being treated for severe burns with most burns being to their hands, feet and rumps.   <br /><br />We will continue to provide the best care possible for our injured wildlife, we expect due to significant habitat loss we will be building exhibits to hold the treated koalas until we can arrange release back into the wild for many of them.<br /><br />Kangaroo Island is well known for its thriving koala population however over 150,000 hectares has been lost due to recent events, this will effect our koala population dramatically. We need to pull together to save this Australian icon.<br /><br />Once conditions improve and we are granted access to fire ground, a qualified team will be going out to rescue wildlife caught in the fires and relocate those left without a food source or home.<br /><br />We will provide regular updates on the wildlife in our care, their progress and more.<br /><br /> Thank you to everyone for your support through these trying times.

Help save Kangaroo Islands Koalas and wildlife

Hi. My name is Maylee. I am 9 years old and am in the third grade. I am doing a community service project for school.<br />My goal is to raise $200 for The Pongo Fund in Portland. They are a food bank for dogs. Have you ever noticed that a lot of people who are homeless also have a dog? Well, they have to feed their dog too! A lot of times they will share their own food with their dog so it does not starve. The Pongo Fund hands out free dog food to homeless people, or people who can't afford to buy dog food every week. Then the people can eat their own food and their dogs have healthy food to eat! <br /> Can you imagine being homeless and having to give your dog away? Dogs are great companions and they help people not be lonely. It's very hard to have to give one away.<br />My dog, Lily, is my best friend! <br />Thank you for helping me help dogs,<br />Maylee
