<div><strong>A warmer, safer home for women rebuilding their lives</strong>
</div>
<div>For nearly 30 years, the WWD house in Denver has served Ananda Marga in many ways. Built in 1891 and purchased by MahaJyoti (MJ Glassman) in the 1990s, it first became home to an Ananda Marga Neo-Humanistic school - "Morning Star" - one of Denver’s successful preschools for nearly three decades. The ground floor was filled with children, while the upper floors provided affordable housing for women facing financial hardship.
</div>
<div>Today, this same house continues its service as a WWD (<strong>Women’s Welfare Department</strong>) Jagrti (Ashram). It provides affordable housing, personal support, spiritual practice, classes, and retreats. Most importantly, it offers a safe, respectful, and quiet home for women during times of transition, women working toward greater financial stability, and women who need an affordable and supportive place to live.
</div>
<div>I am raising funds for an important improvement before I leave the USA: <strong>replacing six old windows</strong> in the women’s living area.
</div>
<div>These are original sash windows from 1891: single-pane, poorly sealed, and difficult to open. During Denver’s extended cold spell last winter, when temperatures remained below zero for several consecutive days, one of the women living in the house experienced extreme cold in her apartment. We added thicker curtains and two additional heaters, but the old windows still made it difficult to keep the rooms warm and comfortable.
</div>
<div>Replacing these windows will do much more than improve a building. <strong>It will provide a warmer, healthier, and more secure home for the women who live here</strong>—not only this winter, but for many years to come.
</div>
<div>The total cost to replace all six windows is <strong>$7,000</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why this house matters</strong>
</div>
<div>Over the years, this house has touched many lives. Hundreds of children received a Neo-Humanistic education here, and many parents were introduced to <strong>P.R.Sarkar's</strong> (Baba)<strong> philosophy </strong> through the school.
</div>
<div>It has also provided a safe and affordable home for women facing financial hardship, housing insecurity, or major life transitions, as well as women who simply need a respectful, supportive, and affordable place to live.
</div>
<div>A stable home can give a woman the breathing room she needs to pursue work, strengthen her financial security, build confidence, and move forward with dignity. When women are able to leave this home stronger and more stable, they are better prepared to participate fully in their communities and contribute to society.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today, the Denver house is one of the few WWD Jagrtis (Ashram) in the USA. It remains an important part of our Mission: a home and working space connected with the service of female Acaryas (Didis), and a respectful place where women can live while rebuilding their lives or working toward greater stability.
</div>
<div>Most improvements to this house have been funded directly through the project itself. Every available dollar has gone back into maintaining, repairing, and improving the property. However, replacing six windows at once is a major expense that the project cannot cover on its own.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>My connection to this house</strong>
</div>
<div>I have lived in the Denver WWD Jagrti for almost four years. Since arriving, I have poured my heart into making this building safer, warmer, more functional, and more welcoming.
</div>
<div>Together with Didi Ananda Aparajiita, I have worked on countless projects: repairing the fence, building a new bathroom, upgrading the kitchen, planting gardens, sealing out a squirrel invasion, repairing the gutters, building two walls with doors, and completing many other improvements. Some may not be visible at first glance, but each one has made a real difference in the daily life of the women who live here.
</div>
<div>Baba gave me the opportunity to dedicate my time and energy to this house, and I have tried to do so with all my heart.
</div>
<div>Because of visa requirements, I will be leaving the USA in January 2027. Before I go, I hope to leave this house more prepared for the sisters and women who will call it home in the future: warmer in winter, more comfortable every day, and better able to continue its service for years ahead.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The window project</strong>
</div>
<div>The contractor’s quote from Centennial Home Improvements in Denver is $7,900. They have generously offered a $900 discount, bringing the total project cost to $7,000.
</div>
<div>The project includes:
</div>
<div>Removal and disposal of all six old windows
</div>
<div>Installation of six custom-built Anlin Catalina Series replacement windows
</div>
<div>Energy-efficient insulating glass filled with argon gas
</div>
<div>Reinforced white vinyl frames and heavy-duty locks
</div>
<div>Tempered glass for the bathroom window
</div>
<div>Caulking, sealing, expanding-foam insulation, and trim
</div>
<div>Anlin’s lifetime transferable warranty
</div>
<div>The contractor requires a $2,300 deposit to begin, with the remaining $4,700 due upon completion. Installation is expected approximately five to six weeks after final measurements, and the installation itself should take about one day.
</div>
<div>I plan to make a final decision at the end of October, based on the amount raised, so that we can replace the greatest possible number of the most urgently needed windows.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What your gift makes possible</strong>
</div>
<div>Your gift will create a permanent improvement in the women’s living space. Better-insulated windows will reduce drafts, make the rooms easier to heat, and give the women who live here a warmer and more comfortable home for years to come.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>$50</strong> contributes to weather-sealing, insulation, and caulking
</div>
<div><strong>$100</strong> supports finishing work, trim, and hardware
</div>
<div><strong>$200</strong> makes a meaningful contribution toward an energy-efficient replacement window
</div>
<div><strong>$600</strong> brings one window significantly closer to replacement
</div>
<div><strong>$1,200</strong> covers a major portion of one window replacement
</div>
<div><strong>$1,500</strong> covers approximately one full large-window replacement
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>$7,000 replaces all six windows and creates a lasting improvement for the women’s housing
</div>
<div>If the full $7,000 goal is not reached, every contribution will still go toward the window project, beginning with the windows that need replacement most urgently.
</div>
<div>If more than $7,000 is raised, additional funds will be used for other essential improvements to this Ananda Marga property, including basement waterproofing, repair and painting of the main entrance walls, and replacement of an undersized refrigerator in one of the units.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>A lasting gift to this place of service</strong>
</div>
<div>This house has served Baba’s Mission for decades. A contribution to this project is not simply a response to one winter’s cold; it is an investment in a lasting, dignified home for women who need safety, stability, or affordable housing.
</div>
<div>Your gift will keep women warmer through Denver winters for years to come. It will strengthen a place where women can regain stability, pursue new opportunities, and move toward independent, contributing lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being part of this meaningful improvement. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are unable to contribute financially, sharing this fundraiser with Ananda Margiis, friends, and well-wishers is another valuable way to support this enduring work.
</div>
<div>Together, we can preserve this house as a warm and welcoming place of service for the women who need it now and those who will come after them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Where the funds go</strong>
</div>
<div>Funds raised through this campaign will go to Ananda Marga Inc.
</div>
<div>I, <strong>Avadhutika Ananda Kalyanmitra Acarya</strong>, will oversee the use of the funds specifically for the six-window replacement project in the women’s housing area and, if additional funds are raised, the other essential building improvements described above.

<div>Kelsey is turning 30 YEARS OLD. Ever since getting a tattoo in Vietnam, she has been reallllllly wanting another one, and I think it would make her so so happy as a celebratory gift. I'm going to cover most of the tattoo costs, but if y'all were able to pitch in a little bit, that would be incredible and would give her the flexibility to get whatever tattoo she wants.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Anything in the range of $5-$20 dollars would be awesome!

Dr. Melati has always been there for others, offering her time, compassion, and expertise to anyone in need. Whether it was a friend going through a tough time or a neighbor needing advice, Melati has been a constant source of support and kindness in our community. Now, she is facing one of the most challenging moments of her life after being involved in a serious car accident. The road to recovery is never easy, and Melati is having to navigate this journey largely on her own. 
<br>
<br>
 As she focuses on healing, there are many day-to-day tasks that have become overwhelming, especially when it comes to preparing meals and caring for her beloved dog. That’s where we, as her friends and community, can step in to help. The funds raised through this campaign will go directly toward meal deliveries and pet sitting, ensuring Melati has nourishing food and her dog receives the care and attention needed while she recovers. 
<br>
<br>
 Any contribution, big or small, will make a meaningful difference and help ease some of the burdens Melati is facing right now. If you’re able to donate, share, or help spread the word, we would be incredibly grateful. Thank you for supporting Melati and showing her she’s not alone during this difficult time.

I’m a Native American trans woman who is currently homeless and staying on a friend’s couch. I have to be out by July 7th, and I won’t get my first paycheck from my new job in time to secure stable housing before that deadline. I’ve been doing everything I can on my own, but I need help covering the immediate costs of moving into a safe place so I don’t end up on the street. 
<br>
<br>
 The money will be used to cover immediate move-in costs, like first month's rent, deposit, and any other costs of moving. Any leftover money will be used to further stabilize myself through school and work by helping me bring my car to Denver from Wyoming. I’m doing everything I can to get stable and keep moving forward, and knowing that people care enough to help gives me hope. 
<br>
<br>
 Thank you for even taking the time to read my story. Any support means more than I can put into words. Even sharing the fundraiser helps. Thank you for helping me stay safe and get through this.

Help Daryl Get Back on the Road

<div>Hi all! My name is Jeremy Montez. I have been a barber and the owner of Techniques Hair Shop for the past 10 years. It has been my passion and my entire life since I started the trade. Since opening the shop, I have fostered a welcoming place for the local community and gained a large following, becoming a staple of the Santa Fe Art District in Denver.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, due to a recent accident, I shattered both my wrists and broke my back. I am currently out of the hospital, after having surgery, but in a lot of pain. The doctors said I might never be able to cut hair again, but I am optimistic I will recover and come back better than ever.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have never made a GoFundMe before, but I am now in a position where I need to ask for help for the first time in my life. My main goal is to keep my business open, to ensure my employees have a place to continue to work and my clients can still have their favorite shop to visit for their barbering needs. I will also need help covering my medical expenses, now that I will be unable to work for the foreseeable future. The surgery costs were $20,000, and I estimate that I will need an additional $10,000 to cover personal and business expenses till I can hopefully get back to work.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every little bit will help. I sincerely appreciate every single person who is able to contribute. Or even just sending some love my way will keep my spirits up. Thank you all so much!

<div>Dear friends, family, and generous supporters,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our family has recently been faced with heartbreaking news. My uncle, Rob, was just diagnosed with an aggressive form of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). This diagnosis came suddenly and has turned their world upside down. He is now beginning treatments that are both physically grueling and financially overwhelming.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To make matters harder, my aunt Janet and uncle Rob recently had to move from the home they lived in for over 10 years because their landlord decided to sell. They are now navigating the stress of relocation while also facing the enormous costs of hospital stays, medications, and ongoing treatments.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are asking for your support to help ease the financial burden of medical bills, treatment expenses, and basic living costs so they can focus on what matters most: Rob's fight for recovery and their family’s well-being.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any donation, no matter the amount, will make a difference. If you cannot give financially, please consider sharing this campaign and keeping them in your thoughts and prayers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your love, generosity, and support during this incredibly difficult time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He’s currently in long term acute care for his wounds and is still fighting an infection in his leg. Once he heals the goal will be to get into acute care where he can continue learning to navigate a wheelchair and eventually learn to walk with his new prosthetics.

<div><strong>Background: </strong>Ryan went to the emergency room on July 30th having trouble walking. They discovered a massive blood clot in his heart and went into emergency surgery to save his life. The clot spread to his legs and vitals leading to double amputations and infections. He was in the icu for almost a month, fearing for his life several times during this period. Luckily we have moved on, out of the icu, but have a long road ahead.

<div>As many of you know my dad Bobby was found passed away in his home Tuesday. After he was found it was said that he passed from natural causes while he was getting ready for bed. My childhood dog was also found passed away along with him. With my grandpa passing away a week and a half prior to this my dad and I weren’t talking very often cause he was letting me grieve. Unfortunately when my dad was found they said he had been passed away in his home for 7 days. I am asking for help if anyone can for the cost of cremation.

<p>**See update for more information on what the goal is and the organization of the fund. This gofundme campaign is to help Michael Davenport recover and get back on his feet. He was robbed recently of his supplies, donations, and finished art. He relies on these things to help him survive. This robbery took more than possessions from him, it really hurt his spirit. He is such a positive, kind, and determined individual and it is awful that there are people in the world who take advantage of him.<br /><br />He is still healing from the assault he endured in the past. His leg still requires medical attention to this day. <br /><br />We are hoping to raise some money for him to get art supplies, medical attention, and housing.<br /><br />This man is a treasure for the Athens community and for all bulldog fans. Lets show him some love and let him know there is still more good in this world than bad!<br /><br />Thank you

Michael Davenport - Help him get back on his feet

On April 16th, 2015, I was assaulted in broad daylight at a gas station in Fort Pierce, Florida, while multiple people stood witness. I recieved abdominal trauma and multiple facial lacerations. Two weeks later I was admitted with Pancreatitus. Then admitted with my liver enzymes in the 2000 range (150 is considered high/ elevated), not being able to keep down any food or liquids, and feeling more and more weak. I thought this was the worst of it. Boy was I wrong.<br /><br />Over the past year I have had been admitted between multiple hospitals well over twenty times, with Pancreatitus, Splenomegly ( Inflamation/ Enlarged spleen) , Enlarged Liver, and multiple blood infections. I have lost 80 pounds over the past year ( From 230 to currently 147). I have daily fever's that range from 100.5 to 103.8. My blood work has gone from extreme highs to extreme lows. Of all the doctors and specialists I have seen to this date, nobody has been able to pinpoint why this is happening to me, or give a proper diagnosis, even after every test under the sun ( They even radiated my white blood cells and put them back in my body, then watched what they did while being scanned!!!). A month ago they finally removed my spleen, because of it being so enlarged ( Supposed to be 5-6oz, was 3.5lb, and supposed to be the size of your fist, was five times that size). I have finally found a specialist ( Infectious Disease) who is stepping up and has committed to finding out what is causing all of these problems, and is trying to find ways to waive his costs for treatment ( Wish they all would do this!).<br /><br />Through all of this, I have not been able to work, have been denied for disability ( Temporary or not) and Medicaid, and any other sort of assistance. This has put me into financial ruin, and the problem is super close to becoming a crisis.  The medicines alone are taking a financial toll,  not including the day to day costs of living. Any help would truly be amazing, and would help with my recovery and to get back on my feet, and hopefully continue with a normal life!<br /><br />It truly is amazing how everything in your life can change in a heart beat. Being assaulted for a few minutes has effected the last year, and more than likely the next few ( but hopefully not). The urge and need to get back to a normal life is what I am striving for, but unfortunately I am needing to ask for help.<br /><br />I know this was long,  but thank you again for taking the time to read, and understand how tough the past year has been!
