<div>
 By now I image many of you have heard to devastating news about this wonderful man, Christopher Robin Hanna. He was a father, a husband, a family titan and he was my friend.
</div>
<div>
 His love for life was put out far too soon and the sorrow felt can't be put into words.
</div>
<div>
 What we can do is try and help the ones he loved by lessening the financial burden. So please help if you can.
</div>

MY FRIEND

<div>My name is Sheila Bell and I am trying to raise funds for my sister to help with funeral expenses for my niece, Nikki Kage, who died unexpectedly yesterday.   Nikki left us at only 30 years old and left two young children that she loved dearly.  Nikki will be deeply missed and there are no words for the pain of losing someone so young.  If you could find it in your heart to help in this time of need any amount would be a blessing and greatly appreciated.  

</div>

In Loving Memory of Nikki Kage

Help Us Support Youth Football in Traverse City

<div>Hello, my name is Aven Lay and I am a close friend to the family of Aedan Raycraft. On the evening of December 27th, 2023 Aedan was in an extreme car accident and ejected from his passenger seat through the windshield of the vehicle and endured severe trauma which resulted in him being airlifted from Munson Hospital in Traverse City Michigan to The University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor for immediate spinal surgery and treatment. Aedan was found by community members immediately after the crash happened, the police were called and Aedan and the driver were taken to the hospital via ambulance. Aedan sustained a laundry list of injuries consisting of but not limited to, multiple rib fractures on both sides, spinal fractures on vertebrae T-2 to T-8 one of which was split open and exposed, two collapsed lungs, a mandibular fracture in his jaw leaving bones exposed inside of his mouth and a clavicle fracture. Early morning on December 28th 2023 he received surgery on his spine which consisted of 7 vertebrae getting fused back together and straightening of his spine. He cannot receive care on his jaw until he no longer needs to be intubated. Aedan was given a feeding tube via his nose and awoken from sedation on December 29th 2023 and was able to communicate by nodding his head, moving his hands and using pen and paper to write. He is still learning what has happened to him and was drifting in and out of consciousness while using his pen and paper to communicate with his family. As of December 30th 2023 Aedan is no longer awake, conscious or communicating and had to have a second tube inserted into his right lung. This devastating car crash happened while Aedan was a passenger in his girlfriends vehicle in which she was operating while under the influence of alcohol. This unfortunately caused the vehicle to veer off of the road and roll. Aedan’s beloved dog, Motley, who Aedan has chosen homelessness in the past in order to keep sadly did not survive the crash, as he was a passenger in the back seat at the time of the accident. Motley was found by community members and police underneath the upside down vehicle unresponsive at the scene of the accident. Aedans brother Sebastian was able to retrieve Motley’s body so that he can have a proper burial.
</div>
<div>Aedan has a long recovery ahead, it is unknown if he will be able to walk again. He will have to be hospitalized for a long time and family will have to rotate driving nearly 3 1/2 hours to see him until he is discharged. Aedan built a career in the construction field hanging and finishing drywall since 2020. He has worked for numerous companies and has been sub contracted with his brother on jobs. He’s worked to accumulate his DBA and purchase all tools necessary to complete his work. He has made amazing accomplishments in his career especially at being only 20 years old. These injuries will change Aedan’s life forever, and he will not be able to continue his line of work for quite some time, if not ever even after recovery. We are asking that anyone who has extra funds to share would please donate to help Aedan recover. We are collecting funds for future medical expenses that may not be covered by insurance, food expenses, travel and lodging expenses for family, rehabilitation expenses and living expenses for when Aedan comes home. Aedan’s Mother Amanda and Sister Raine have both taken time off work to ensure they can remain by his side throughout his surgery and waking up from sedation and everyone is trying to prepare for the long haul. Aedan is an amazing kid who LOVED his dog with every fiber of his being, loves to skate board, take care of his little brother, spend time with his family, go to music festivals, spend time with his friends and complete impeccable work on jobs. Help Aedan Raycraft recover and find hope during this extremely tough part of his life. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to read, listen and support Aedan.

Help Us Rebuild Hope For Aedan Raycraft

<div>Hello friends, 
</div>
<div>This is Alice, Steph, and Larissa, Kerrey and Aric's friends,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In late August, at just 52 years old, Aric Woughter was diagnosed with ALS. The course of ALS is unpredictable, but what Aric and his family do know is that his body has started to deteriorate and that ALS can be swift moving and is ultimately fatal. It is also expensive. The average cost to treat ALS over the duration of the disease is over $1.5 million with roughly 15% of those costs paid out of pocket by the family. Fortunately FMLA allows Aric to be paid for several more weeks of work before going on disability, at which point his monthly income will be significantly reduced.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Aric and Kerrey were high school sweethearts and have been married since 1995. They have devoted their lives to others, as educators, coaches, foster parents and friends. Now they are hoping to devote some quality time to each other and their family, including taking the cross country road trip that they had planned to kick off their retirement several years down the road.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Already Aric has lost the dexterity in his hands to cut his own food, button his own shirt, etc. His upper body strength is deteriorating; he can no longer do a push up or put his bike on the car rack. But he has his legs and with them we would like to be able to get some adventures in! He can e-bike with modified hand brakes and hike, he can even play two-handed pickle-ball! But winter is coming and there is no guarantee he will be able to do any of those things when summer returns to Northern Michigan.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Traveling is high on Aric’s bucket list. Camping is no longer a viable option and hotel stays and food from restaurants are cost prohibitive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The goal then is to purchase a travel van. This will cost $81,000 which covers the cost of the refurbished, used van at $79,000 plus the installation of a hydraulic bike lift for their e-bikes. This particular van will comfortably house them as they take a forced early retirement trip. It has a full kitchen, something they need as Aric has to eat a lot to slow the deterioration of his body. ALS is hypermetabolic; any weight loss accelerates his physical decline. It has solar power, a permanent bed, and 4-season insulation. It will keep him as comfortable as is possible with his condition.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This van will allow Aric and Kerrey to travel together while renting their home, potentially for as long as a year, allowing them to supplement their income while providing freedom to move about the country and visit family - including daughter and son-in-law Abby &amp; Jordan in Seattle and siblings in Texas and Idaho. Kerrey is working to finance the travel van, but it requires a sizable downpayment and adds a significant monthly payment to a budget that is already going to be stretched thin.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“I can’t let him sit in the house all winter while I go to work. I’ve never met anyone who needs to be as active as he does - that’s just Aric! And the ALS team at UofM encouraged him to keep moving. I’m getting him out of this house and out of Northern Michigan this winter. We aren’t going to have a retirement together, and I can’t tell you how much that breaks my heart. But we have ‘right now’ and we mean to make the best of it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The van is a lifeline for us. Something to look forward to - and man, do we need that - as well as a means to make income on our home for a bit. And when traveling is no longer an option - and hopefully that is a long way off - we’ll have the option to sell it to pay for the assistive equipment that Aric will likely need later."

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Aric and Kerrey do not know how much longer their life together will last. We ask that you donate to their dream, one that has to happen much sooner than they wanted. If you know them, you know that they both give everything to the people in their lives. They love others hard. Let’s give a little of that love back to them by helping them do this.
</div>

Give Aric and Kerrey the Gift of Time Together
