I am raising funds to help me and my three boys, Miles, Nasaan, and Quinton, travel to Cincinnati for a family reunion this July. This trip is especially meaningful because it’s my dad’s side of the family, and he is no longer with us. Many of our relatives have never met my boys, so this will be the first time we’re all together, honoring his memory and building new connections. 
<br>
<br>
 I’ve been working hard to finish my Associates degree, and while I’m proud of that accomplishment, it’s made finances very tight. The funds raised will go directly toward flights and lodging for me and my boys, making it possible for us to attend this special reunion. It’s a chance for my children to meet family they’ve only heard about and for us to celebrate the legacy of my dad. 
<br>
<br>
 I am so appreciative and grateful for the support our community has always shown us. With my new degree and two new businesses, I look forward to being able to help my community and return the favor very soon. Thank you for considering a donation to help us make this trip possible!

Help Us Attend Our Family Reunion in Cincinnati

Hey people! We are at our final stretch before we move into our new home! I am asking for help once again As some of you all may know, we have been displaced and are waiting for permanent housing because our landlord had to sell. We are currently staying at an extended stay hotel while we wait for the good news that our permanent housing in Seattle is approved It’s mainly been myself and the little ones staying there, an adventure to say the least! We put all the stuff in storage and are praying for good news! Unfortunately a lot of the bills keep coming and appreciate ALL the support our community has given us thus far. This money will go towards storage and moving costs. We are beyond grateful for you and know that God IS working in our favor. Thank you so much, Maya, Miles, Nasaan and Quinton ♥️

Final fundraising for moving!

<div>As you all know, I am a single mama of 3 INCREDIBLE boys, Miles, Nasaan and Quinton. If you are not familiar with our story, Nasaan has Down Syndrome. In simpler terms, that means he's got an extra dose of AMAZING-NESS in him :) This past year has been one of the most challenging for many reasons, one being that I had to quit my job because I could not find adequate childcare for Nasaan. All these changes and challenges were as my maternity leave was about to begin! 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you know me, you know I'm a fighter and will do anything for my beautiful family. One thing I have learned and hope to pass on to other mothers, parents, and families is the ability and courage to ask for HELP! I don't take this lightly and know in the depth of my being that we are ALREADY so blessed. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Fast forward to today, and the struggle to pay rent has become a stress on our family. As the fall approaches and the kids are getting back into school and starting daycare, I can start looking for work. I have not been able to do this so I can be home with Nasaan, and the new love of our life, Quinton. Who can believe he will be one in a couple of months!! 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We will be truly grateful if you can find it in your heart to help us get over this hump! 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I look forward to being in a position to help those in need and pass it on. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Much love, and thank you all. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From the bottom of our hearts, 
</div>
<div>Maya, Miles, Nasaan and Quinton

It's a Rent Party!

As many of you know sadly Scott Ryan lost his battle with COVID-19. He leaves behind his Wife and 3 children. We are asking for help to cover the family daily expenses and medical bills. All funds will go directly to his wife.

The Gift of Life!

Family and friends – Lillian Erinn Hill, has made it to the top of the heart transplant list and is in a critical waiting period.

We are thankful for the gift of life and have received word that Lillian will receive the gift of a heart soon.

The impact of the procedure requires her support team to be on site with her through the initial phases of the recovery process. At minimum, Lillian will spend 10-days in the ICU, then 2-weeks in the hospital, and then 6 - 9 months in Los Angeles near Cedar Sinai. While required, insurance will not cover this type of support and family care. 

Our thoughts and immeasurable gratitude go out to the future donor and their family. It is not easy for anyone. 

Lillian’s 10-year journey with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy has not only been physical but intensely emotional for her and our family.  The last two years have brought multiple hospital stays, tests, procedures, and surgeries all while managing a business and with her husband, parenting their young son.  

In early December Lillian suffered a series of significant health complications associated with the cardiomyopathy that have led to her current hospitalization at Cedar Sinai, in Los Angeles.  Now, Ischemic Cardiomyopathy has set in and Lillian will undergo the heart transplant surgery in the next day or so (waiting for heart to be cleared) We are thankful and at a very critical point! 

Although Seattle is home for Lillian, her family and most of her recovery support team, she will be in Los Angeles for the transplant and subsequent care.  All funds raised will directly support basic needs for Lillian, her recovery care team, and her young son. 

We thank you for your love, prayers, and support. 

Sincerely - Eddie Benote, Her Brother

THANK YOU - NO MORE DONATIONS NEEDED

Recently my father had surgery and was off on work mans comp. But to save money on the cost until he was to return to work in April/May he canceled his Life insurance. On Tuesday, he passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. This has left my mother and us in a bad spot. We are asking if anyone can, to please donate to help offset the cost and burden for our mother. If not, please share to spread the word.  Thank you and have a blessed day.

Claude B. Adams III funeral

<p>Thank you to everyone who made this campaign a tremendous success. If you would like to continue to donate, please do so directly to the family using PayPal Friends &amp; Family to [email redacted] , or Cash App to $OnOzz717.<br /><br />------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />With the heaviest of hearts we feel it is now time to share with you all that after a month of thorough testing &amp; multiple sources observing those results Children's Hospital has diagnosed our 10-year-old daughter Violet Ofelia Martinez with a cancer called Non-Lymphoblastic Non-hodgkin's /NHL/, Group B (potentially Group C if it has spread to her spinal fluid in which a spinal tap will be performed very soon to determine if infact if it has). Treatment for her begins Feb 22nd &amp; will last 4 to 5 months give or take depending on how she handles everything. We also will be taking a holistic approach on some things as well<br /><br />We are reaching out for help in tackling this fight we face ahead. She WILL without a single doubt defeat this coward of a disease but her road to recovery will be a tedious one at times. Those of you that know her (&amp; or) have ever met her understand that this is no match for Ofelia in the long run. Getting to that finish line however will be very costly across the board in regards to leave of work, complete lifestyle change, a more adequate living situation to better accommodate her &amp; this condition, things of that nature but most of all her treatment &amp; all the things that come along with it (planned or unplanned). She does have some insurance through her mother Alexis Dwyer but there are going to be a number of things not covered by it<br /><br />To all my family, friends, &amp; fans the only way I know how to cope with most things is through music so Zavala &amp; I (aka DARK TIME SUNSHINE), &amp; V's favorite singer Reva Devito put together a song &amp; video dedicated to my wonderful daughter titled V GIRL attached within this campaign. Play it LOUD.. often..  &amp; keep the V in your hearts always till this spineless little poison withers away for good<br /><br />Positive thought, prayer, energy, &amp; reaching our goal are most important for her/us at this time to get through &amp; maintain a strong mindset. With your help I know we can truly achieve anything that comes our way &amp; conquer this feat. We love you all so very much<br /><br /><br />Sincerely O.O.<br /><br /><br /><br />DARK TIME SUNSHINE feat.

Help our daughter Violet fight cancer

￼Family, Friends, and anyone reading this.. This is my 17 year old son Raymond Askew. He was in a terrible car accident early Sunday morning August 12th in Portland, Oregon.  Raymond is in stable yet critical condition, he suffered severe brain swelling, a broken femur, multiple facial fractures, a collapsed lung, and several broken ribs. We currently live in Seattle Washington however Raymond is receiving treatment in the NEO-TRAUMA ICU  in Portland.   Raymond is breathing with the aid of a ventilator. He has been under induced medical sedation to prevent him from further harming himself while allowing the swelling in his brain to decrease.  With this post I am looking for support in any way possible. I have been in Portland with my son and I have not been able to return to work. Raymond also had three younger siblings at home are being cared for by their big sister and other family members. Please know I'am not only accepting monitary donations. Prayers and shares are also welcomed! All donations will be used for transportation to and from Portland from Seattle, hotel to shower and stretch out and breath, maintaining books at four mt other babies and a medical transportation ($5,800) back to Seattle once he is okay to move. Please take the time to share our story! Thank you for your love and support. I will be updating everyone on his steps to recovery.

Raise for Raymond

My name is Rajnii Eddins I am a father who has been suffering parental alienation, institutional racism, and unjust separation from my daughter. I am currently facing 3 years in prison as a result a co-parent saying I looked at them and it made them feel unsafe although I am an educator and have no criminal  history or history of violence physical or otherwise.   I made this video to raise $ for legal counsel in order to reunite with my daughter and protect our relationship and now I must protect my freedom. I know many parents and children suffer from being unjustly separated. As parents we must put our children first above any petty resentment we may harbor towards our former partners. Treasuring our children is paramount and when we as parents allow them to be the priority we can find ways to work together even when it is challenging. My heart goes out to all the parents seeking to reunite with their children and all the children who miss their parents dearly and get caught in the crossfire. This video is to affirm the value of family and the special irreplaceable bond we share with our children. Please support and spread widely as your contributions will allow for my daughter and I to be reunited.  My daughter means the world to me and I wish to express my most profound and sincere gratitude for any and all support.  Fathers Matter!
