<div>We have 4 widows from my widow group who are in dire need of help. They have reached out to churches and organizations for assistance however many churches no longer provide financial assistance and organizations want them to be months behind on their bills and facing foreclosure/eviction to be eligible to help.
</div>
<div>We are raising funds to provide immediate financial assistance to these widows facing financial hardship after the loss of their spouse and recent loss of employment during 2025 holidays.<strong> </strong>Over these last few months, they have or are near depletion of any savings they had. As their continued search for employment resumes they are in dire need<strong> </strong>of mortgage/rent, utilities, and essential living expenses assistance. Any donation is greatly appreciated. Please share with others who may be able to assist these ladies. Thank you in advance for your help.

From Loss to Hope: Restoring Dignity for Widows in Crisis

<div>Hi, this is Eddie Velez's wife of 36 years, Anna Marie Velez, and his 5 children, Brandon, Shaun, Bronte, Beija, and Bryson. Eddie is turning 60 on March 1st. I'm sharing this fundraiser as a gift suggestion, in hopes you will help my husband fulfill a lifelong dream to attend the NY Mets Fantasy Camp. <strong>He and other Mets fans will play or be coached by retired NY Mets players and coaches.</strong> The way my bank account is set up, I couldn't throw a 60th Bday party and do the camp LOL, so I am asking for gift donations to help fund Eddie's dream.

Eddie Velez's 60th Birthday Dream Fundraiser

<div>Harley J. is an aspiring professional dancer and actress from Lithonia, Georgia. Recently, she was accepted to the Debbie Allen Dance Academy Summer Intensive, a revered, four-week dance training program in Los Angeles. Harley was also invited to tour with a Las Vegas-based national dance convention as a teacher assistant. Additionally, she was asked to perform as a dancer in the opening ceremony for the Beta Club National Convention in Louisville, Kentucky.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These are AMAZING, life-changing opportunities for Harley. However, she needs your help!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We're raising funds to assist with Harley's training costs, housing and travel expenses! Any donation is kindly appreciated! However, before you give, here's what you should know about Harley J.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Harley began formal dance training at the age of two at Triple 7 Dance Studio in Snellville, Georgia. By the age of five, Harley had earned an invitation to join their first-ever Mini Company. Since then, Harley has moved up from Mini Company to Petite Company and now Junior Company. During the week, she trains extensively in ballet, tap, modern, jazz, hip-hop and tumbling. In addition to dancing, Harley also enjoys acting. She was cast as a 'Munchkin' and 'Citizen' in "The Wiz", presented by Triple 7 Dance Studio.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When Harley is not performing, she devotes much of her time to her academic studies; she's a high-achieving, straight-A scholar! Last fall, Harley was inducted into the National Junior Beta Club, where she serves as Treasurer. Harley is also a member of her school's step team and is a proud safety patrol. She's been recognized as 'Best Reader', 'Most Creative', 'Best Speller' and 'Citizen of the Month.'
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And there's more!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Harley is active in her community. She often campaigns during local elections and uses her gifts to serve others. Harley attends Transforming Faith Church where she's a member of the Living in Transformation (L.I.T.) Student Ministry. She has three siblings and is a superb little and big sister!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Harley plans to become a professional dancer and actress. She'd love to one day perform in a Broadway production and with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. The Debbie Allen Dance Academy Summer Intensive, along with the national convention tour, would propel her craft, allowing Harley to be closer to achieving her dreams!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No donation amount is too small. Thank you for your support and for being part of Harley's village!!!

Harley J is Headed to Hollywood!

<div>My name Is Beautiful Austin-Bennet. On May 3rd my mom, Dorian "Sky" Bennett tragically lost her life due to gun violence. To know my mom was to love her she was special, beautiful, and adventourous. She could light up a room with just her presence alone, her energy was contagious and she had a heart just as big and beautiful as she was, which unfortunately led to her untimely departure. 
</div>
<div>My mom leaves behind me and my 3 other siblings who could never have imagined having to ask for assistance to lay her to rest let alone so soon. I ask that if you can find it in your heart to donate anything that can help us give her a beautiful final goodbye and anything left will go to helping me and my siblings through this trying time.

Help Lay My Mommy to Rest

<div>My twin brother, Maurice Bowe, died unexpectedly on Monday, December 19, 2022. We are asking for financial help to transport his remains from Chicago, Illinois to his home in North Carolina. It is our heart’s desire to have a celebration of life for Maurice with his family and friends who loved him dearly. We are grateful for any donations and gifts of love that we receive. 
</div>
<div>We can in no wise mentally prepare or predict when death will come, but having thoughtful and loving people to help in the time of need really makes the difference. 
</div>
<div>It’s hurtful to even prepare to say goodbye to my brother during this holiday season, but with God’s help, our family will make it through. Please continue to pray for his wife, our father, our brothers and the rest of our family. 
</div>

Nita Kay Ponds - home going expenses

Yesterday was one of the most traumatic experiences to have ever happened to us. I never thought we would lose a child (our first and only son Jaxon Dudley).<br /><br />To be honest my husband (Kenyon) and I are extremely tired and at our wits-end right now. We really need help. <br /><br />This entire year has been such a struggle for us. We have been trying to bend over backwards to make things work because we believe in doing the work. We are never the ones to ask for hand-outs because we believe that our faith coupled with our works is what makes things happen. This year we have put dreams on hold, and have not even had the opportunity to leave town just to get away for a few hours because we've dedicated ourselves to working hard. Today we are going out on a limb and asking for some help. We are laying aside all pride...we really need help. Here's a little of what we're facing:<br /><br />1.) We have had to lay down 3 of our businesses (The Discovery Performing Arts, JBD, and Dudley Non-Emergency Transportation Services, LLC) at this moment because of personal financial and emotional reasons,<br /><br />2.) We are constantly facing eviction because we have fallen behind in our rent payments,<br /><br />3.) Kenyon had to  step away from his job earlier this year to continue school at Georgia Perimeter College as he pursues his BA in Marriage and Family Counseling while he helped run our businesses with me. He had to take on the bulk of the work while going to school too because we cannot afford daycare fees which left me with the task of having to watch Reagan (our 1 year old daughter) at home while pregnant with our now deceased son,<br /><br />4.) Kenyon has been secretly working for Uber and Lyft at nights from 7 pm until about 4 am just to keep trying to make ends meet for us; but now is in the process of grieving the loss of our son with me. Ever since I've known Kenyon he's been a strong black man; and he's done every logical and creative thing to provide for us (his family); but the loss of Jaxon has kind of put him in a place where he needs to stop, grieve, and heal for a moment. He's not in the head space to drive for Uber or Lyft right now. <br /><br />5.) I am currently grieving right now as well as healing takes place in my body from having to actually go through the birthing process and delivering Jaxon yesterday; and I am not able to actually work at this time either.<br /><br />6.) We currently have about literally $200 to our name from work Kenyon did last week with Uber and Lyft; and we need help during this stressful time.<br /><br />We pray that at this time you would find it in your heart to give something. Even if it's just a few dollars to contribute ($3, $13, $30, $300). I promise you that anything at this time would be enough. We're trusting that the God my husband preaches about, the God he sings about, and the God that I dance for and witness about will prove his word to be true. The word simply says, "Ask and it shall be given...give and it shall be given unto you good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over."<br /><br />We would love your help and support. Here's some things that your contribution will go toward:<br /><br />1.) Rent payments to make us current, and able to stay in our home<br /><br />2.) My Real Estate School fees. (I've decided since I'm not pregnant anymore to re-focus and go back to school. I need something to keep my mind and that will help my family financially get stable),<br /><br />3.) Reagan's 1st Birthday party that's on this Sunday, November 8th,<br /><br />4.) Business debts and loans that we've acquired because we have had to cease all operations at this time, <br /><br />5.) And miscellaneous things that we might need at this time while we get through this tough time of grief and trying to understand where God has us and where he wants us to go from here. (Food, Pampers, clothing)<br /><br /><br />Kenyon and I thank you all in advance for your love, your phone calls, support, prayers, and your contributions. We love you and pray that God would bless you and your house tremendously even if you're not in a predicament to give at this time. <br /><br />- Jasmine &amp; The Dudley Family<br /><img class="not-resizeable" src="https://2dbdd5116ffa30a49aa8-c03f075f8191fb4e60e74b907071aee8.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/6636231_1446584435.5359_funddescription.jpg" width="100%" alt="6636231_1446584435.5359_funddescription." /><br /><img class="not-resizeable" src="https://2dbdd5116ffa30a49aa8-c03f075f8191fb4e60e74b907071aee8.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/6636231_1446584491.6832_funddescription.jpg" width="100%" alt="6636231_1446584491.6832_funddescription." />
