Ever since I got my camera, photography has become a huge part of my life. Capturing moments and telling stories through images has brought me so much joy and inspiration. Now, I want to take my passion a step further by traveling to Prague to attend a photography class. This opportunity will help me gain new skills, experience a different culture, and push my creativity to new heights. 
<br>
<br>
 The funds I raise will go directly toward my travel costs, tuition for the class, and some additional equipment I need to make the most of this experience. I’m also excited to create and share finished photos from my journey, so your support will help bring those images to life. 
<br>
<br>
 Thank you for believing in me and supporting my dream. Every contribution, big or small, brings me closer to making this adventure a reality. I’m so grateful for your encouragement and generosity!

Support My Prague Photography Journey

I am excited to share that I have the opportunity to study abroad in Japan, and I am reaching out for support to help make this dream a reality. This program will allow me to immerse myself in the Japanese language and culture, which is something I have always aspired to do. However, the costs of tuition, travel, and my homestay are more than I can manage on my own, so I am asking for help from my community. 
<br>
<br>
 The funds raised will go directly toward covering my travel expenses, tuition fees, and the cost of my homestay while I am in Japan. Being able to study in an immersive environment will not only help me become fluent in Japanese, but it will also allow me to work toward my long-term goal of becoming proficient in cybersecurity. I believe that understanding the language and culture will be invaluable as I pursue a future career in this field. 
<br>
<br>
 Someday, I hope to move to Japan, become a part of the community, and truly appreciate everything the country has to offer. Your support would mean the world to me and would bring me one step closer to achieving my dreams. Thank you so much for considering a donation and for helping me on this journey.

Help Me Study Abroad in Japan

<div>안녕하세요! (Hello!), my name is Rue Sanders and I am a Multimedia major at Portland Community College. I’ve been accepted into a Film Studies Study Abroad program in South Korea for Summer 2026.  <strong>I’m raising funds to help cover tuition, program fees, travel, and living expenses.</strong> This opportunity means so much to me because it gives me a chance to immerse myself in a new culture, connect with native Korean speakers through the language I’ve been learning, gain inspiration from talented filmmakers, and move closer to my dreams. I’ve always been passionate about film, and this program will help me grow both personally and professionally. As I enter the film and media world — whether as a cinematographer, director, music video creator, or multi-creative visionary — I’m currently discovering my lane. But I truly believe this program will broaden my perspective far beyond what I’ve known in Oregon.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Studying film in South Korea is a rare, life-changing opportunity. <strong>This opportunity will help me learn new filmmaking approaches, new teaching styles, new storytelling tools, new insights from collaborating with other students, fresh ideas to share with my community upon return, and new ways of seeing myself.</strong> It will build my confidence, my skillset, and my belief that I can pursue big dreams, not just imagine them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a Black woman and as someone who is naturally introverted, this journey is bold, and that’s exactly why it matters. It’s proof to myself that I can step into the world fully. It will be a personal victory.  <strong>This experience will help me realize that I am capable of building the life I dream about. </strong>A dream I’m turning into reality one step at a time. <strong>Any contribution, no matter the size, would mean so much and would help make this life-changing opportunity a reality. </strong>Thank you for considering being part of this journey with me.

Support My Dream of Studying Film in South Korea !

Hello, my name is Luis. I was born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina, and I have always been proud to call this city my home.

On February 25th, while on our way to work, my partner Oscar was taken by ICE. Oscar has no criminal record, no order of deportation, and no pending court dates or legal proceedings. He has lived here for 24 years and knows nothing about his country of birth. His entire family, friends, and loved ones are here in Charlotte.

I believe in keeping our community safe, but I also believe in compassion and human dignity. Oscar deserves the opportunity to fight his case fairly and properly.

As many of you know, immigration legal fees are extremely expensive, along with the additional costs that come with this process. It is very hard for me to ask, but I am asking our community to please come together and help us bring Oscar back home so he can await justice the right way.

Any donation, no matter how small, truly helps and means more than words can express. We are doing everything in our power to bring him home safely.

Thank you for your support, your prayers, and your kindness. Y si primero quiere Dios, aquí lo vamos a tener.

Bring Oscar back home

Our hard working and brilliant friend Cat just suffered the devastating total loss of her home and belongings in the Marshall fire here in Colorado. With only moments to spare, Cat barely escaped the flames and was unable to take anything with her.
</div>

<div>Yesterday some friends drove through the neighborhood in Louisville, where Cat lived, and witnessed the total devastation where her home burned to the ground. Cat and her daughter have lost absolutely everything; clothing, furniture, kitchen and personal belongings, sentimental items…their entire home. It is difficult for any of us to begin to understand the significance of this kind of loss first-hand. Please join in helping Cat and her daughter rebuild their home and lives, as it is still uncertain what insurance will cover.
</div>

<div>I've added a few pictures below of these wonderful ladies and the devastation this fire left where their home once stood. Thank you in advance for your care and support.
</div>

<div>Sincerely,
</div>

<div>Friends of cat

Let's all help Cat and Kaitlyn rebuild their home!

<span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Message from Dr. Christine Blasey Ford  - November 21, 2018</strong></span><br />Words are not adequate to thank all of you who supported me since I came forward to tell the Senate that I had been sexually assaulted by Brett Kavanaugh. Your tremendous outpouring of support and kind letters have made it possible for us to cope with the immeasurable stress, particularly the disruption to our safety and privacy. Because of your support, I feel hopeful that our lives will return to normal.<br /><br />The funds you have sent through GoFundMe have been a godsend. Your donations have allowed us to take reasonable steps to protect ourselves against frightening threats, including physical protection and security for me and my family, and to enhance the security for our home. We used your generous contributions to pay for a security service, which began on September 19 and has recently begun to taper off; a home security system; housing and security costs incurred in Washington DC, and local housing for part of the time we have been displaced. Part of the time we have been able to stay with our security team in a residence generously loaned to us.<br /><br />With immense gratitude, I am closing this account to further contributions. All funds unused after completion of security expenditures will be donated to organizations that support trauma survivors. I am currently researching organizations where the funds can best be used. We will use this space to let you know when that process is complete.<br /><br />Although coming forward was terrifying, and caused disruption to our lives, I am grateful to have had the opportunity to fulfill my civic duty. Having done so, I am in awe of the many women and men who have written me to share similar life experiences, and now have bravely shared their experience with friends and family, many for the first time. I send you my heartfelt love and support.<br /><br />I wish I could thank each and every one of you individually. Thank you.<br />Christine<br />_____________________________________________________________________________<span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong><br /><br />Message from Dr. Christine Blasey Ford  - October 3, 2018</strong></span><br /><br />I cannot express how grateful I am for the outpouring of support and generosity that we have received through this GoFundMe account. I believed and still believe that it was my civic duty to come forward, but this is by far the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do, much harder even than I thought it would be. And not just for me, but for my husband and our sons, for my relatives who still live in the Washington area, and the friends who have stood up on my behalf.<br /><br />I feel like all of you who have made a contribution are on this journey with me, which is very heartening. And some journey it has been and continues to be. We have already had to move four times, our movements are limited even with security, and the threats are ongoing. Thanks to you, I am able to feel safe, my family can be together, and my children can continue to go to school.<br /><br />The costs for security, housing, transportation and other related expenses are much higher than we anticipated and they do not show signs of letting up. Funds received via this account will be used to help us pay for these mounting expenses.<br /><br />Please know how much we appreciate your moral support and your contribution,<br />Christine<br /><br />_____________________________________________________________________________<br /><br /><br />Christine Blasey Ford demonstrated a huge amount of courage speaking out this week.  She did not initially come forward because she was scared of the response.  She was right to be scared.  Not only has the right wing smear machine started, but she is receiving serious threats against her and has had to engage a security force to protect her family.  This is all really expensive and she needs our help.  We need to protect the voices of brave people who speak out - especially when they are part of our community.<br /><br />Christine is a Palo Alto mom, a beloved professor and mentor and friend.  This fundraiser is sponsored by her neighbors and colleagues.  She is truly grateful for your support!<br /><br />Please note that we will not withdraw any of these funds.  The family has been named the sole beneficiary and her husband will take the funds directly from GoFundMe.

On the night of March 6, 2018 our dear friend Mohammad Fawad Mohammadi was the victim of an unspeakable crime. He and his family were in Lincoln City, Oregon, when they were involved in what seemed to be a relatively minor traffic accident: another car collided with theirs as they exited a restaurant parking lot. When Fawad and his wife stepped out of the car to investigate the damage, the other driver backed up then accelerated toward them. Fawad was able to push his wife to safety, but bore the entire force of the crash with his own body. Inexplicably and without warning, the driver backed up and drove at him again. This time Fawad was able to roll his body out of the way and call to his wife to get their baby out of the car and run. <br /><br /> Fawad had to be taken by Life Flight to a trauma center in Portland. He underwent surgery immediately in an attempt to repair his leg which was severely crushed. Currently it appears that he is suffering from the crushed leg, broken hips, fractured spine and numerous facial injuries. At this writing he is undergoing a second surgery to save the leg. The doctors have prepared him for the high likelihood that the surgery will not be successful.<br /><br /> Fawad came to the U.S. a little over three years ago from his native Afghanistan, where he served as an interpreter for the U.S. Military for four years, often in the thick of battle. He made a lasting impression and was sponsored to come to the U.S. Shortly after he arrived he began working in the Lambs/Bales Marketplaces. He married and he and his wife were blessed with a lovely baby boy, who is now 18 months old. He is the sole breadwinner while his wife has remained at home caring for their son. He is still employed in the Deli/Catering department of the Lake Oswego Lambs/Bales Marketplace where he has been an extremely diligent and capable worker and is loved by all. In fact, Fawad is loved by everyone he meets. He always has a smile and exudes joy. He loves to share meals, music and dancing with friends. We are devastated that he has fought so hard to raise his family in a safe, happy place, only to have their lives changed instantly in such a brutal way.<br /><br /> Fawad’s life and the life of his family has forever been changed. The road to recovery is going to be a long hard battle, and we are seeking funds to support Fawad in this battle in any way that can reduce the suffering and damage visited on his family in this horrible and tragic way.

This Family Needs Our Help

A few days ago (late September 2016), Petra Vicente and Paco González were murdered in Teotitlan del Valle, Oaxaca.  These people were like family to Professor Lynn Stephen of the University of Oregon; they were godparents to her sons.  <br /><br />As Zapotec natural dye specialists, this wonderful mother and son have received NEH Summer Scholars into their home in 2010, 2011, 2014, and 2015 as a part of recurring summer institutes held in Oaxaca under the leadership of Stephanie Wood.  They kindly shared their cultural knowledge, showed us beautiful dyeing, spinning, and weaving techniques, fed us delicious meals, and took us on visits to their milpa.  They also extended their friendship in so many ways, giving us gifts of chocolate and handwoven purses, rides to the airport, and much more. <br /><br />The murder has yet to be solved, but, meanwhile, the family is hard pressed to cover the funeral expenses.  If you can make a donation, and make it soon, it would be such a kindness.  Many, many thanks for considering this.

UPDATED 4/17/2014: Verity began experiencing symptoms of her illness over four years ago. Previously, Verity was healthy, active, an involved college student and scholarship-recipient, closing in on a long-desired degree in filmmaking. Following a period of unpredictable and disabling symptoms, she had to withdraw from college. Now Verity has tested positive for Lyme as well as chronic viral infections. She and her partner Kevin have been fighting for her health, but, when finances are already exhausted, this treatment is anticipated to cost $10,000-$20,000 a year for two years or longer. Meanwhile, she is unable to work or contribute to her household reliably. Further, her expectation of a strong recovery depends on starting this treatment as soon as possible."<br />Original post 12/24/12: My partner Verity has chronic digestive problems that began 3 years ago this coming May. She is a caring, intelligent, charismatic and loving person whose illness has prevented her from working, going to school and finishing her degree, as well as carrying on a normal, healthy life. Throughout her illness, I have been supporting both of us on my solitary income and savings, which in turn has now depleted my savings of $10,000. Month to month, as we face our monthly bills, rent and general expenses, it has become apparent that my income will not be sufficient enough to cover the medical treatment, tests, doctor's appointments, supplies and healthy food necessary to get Verity on the fast track to recovery. <br /><br /><br />Verity has always been the type of person who gives back to the community even when she has very little to offer. She is a caring, intelligent, charismatic and loving person whose illness has prevented her from working, attending college to finish her degree, and living a normal, healthy life. We are hoping that anyone who has the means to do so will reach into their pockets and help us out in our time of need. The amount of money needed for the immediate medical treatment track is approximately $5500, and an additional $3000 is needed for urgent car maintenance as well as other pressing household needs. We welcome any and all contributions that you can make to our cause.<br /><br /><br /><br />Please feel free to share this page.<br />Thank you for your help.

Please Help Verity Get Well 

Bruton High Class of 1989:<br /><br />Most of you have heard the sad news that we lost one of our finest this week: Pamela Smith Hall. There are few who walked the halls of Bruton High School in the late 1980’s that were not touched by Pam’s wit, kindness or crazy sense of humor. Many of us bumped into her at the 2009 reunion to find her in possession of the same wonderful personality we remembered her for. Her unexpected passing leaves behind a bevy of friends and family,  including her two daughters Taylor and Bailey.<br /><br />This page was created to help her family with the costs of final arrangements. Donations of any amount will be gratefully received by Shelley Thacker Millirons, and all proceeds will be donated directly to the family.<br /><br />Friends and family of Pam will meet this Sunday, November 24, 2014 at Vincent Funeral Home Chapel, Providence Forge, VA 23140 to celebrate her life.
