<div>Hello,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Juan Lopez, and I am from Reno, Nevada. My father Francisco Lopez was 1 of the 3 relatives severely impacted by the Hawk Fire on Saturday, August 22nd. On Sunday morning, approximately 3:00 a.m., he was transported to the University of California, Davis Medical Center for treatment of his burns.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a result of the fire, my father lost his entire belongings, including his trailer, clothing, and dogs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>I am seeking help for him so he can have a place to stay and clothing .</strong> All proceeds will go directly toward his financial needs to try and get him another trailer &amp; clothing , I amtry and get his life back to as normal as possible. Thank you.
</div>

Aid for Juan’s Father’s Recovery and New Start

<strong>Support for the Opperman family</strong><br />
<br />
 Please support Hilery, her husband and their two teenage daughters, after their family lost their home in the fast-moving Hawk fire. In a matter of moments, everything they had was gone, and they were forced to leave with only the clothes on their backs. Along with the heartbreak of losing their home and belongings, they are now facing the overwhelming reality of being displaced while also caring for their pets. Hilery and Luke are hardworking, kind people who love the outdoors and adventure, and this loss has turned their world upside down. <br />
<br />
 Donations will help Hilery, Luke, and their daughters with temporary housing, clothing, personal care items, replacing essential belongings, and the many unexpected costs that come with being displaced. Support will also help with kids' clothing and pet care as they work through the days ahead. Any help, big or small, will mean so much to this family as they begin to rebuild after this devastating fire. Please consider donating, sharing this fundraiser, and sending words of encouragement to remind them that they will make it through this difficult time.

<div>Kaiser is a trans man and Trans Support Reno member who has been facing homelessness for nearly a year. Currently residing at a homeless shelter, Kaiser has felt less and less safe as new rules that aim to limit the resident's freedoms are implemented. He has also been increasingly deadnamed and misgendered, and facing hostility from both residents and volunteers.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>These stressors have put significant strains on Kaiser's mental health and have caused him to feel less and less safe at the shelter where he currently resides.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Kaiser has been doing temporary jobs such as petsitting, babysitting, cleaning apartments, houses, and cars for money.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This fundraiser is meant to support Kaiser in his goal of maintaining increased safety and stability.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Your funds will go to: 

</div>

<ul>

<li>helping Kaiser secure first month's rent and deposit on a secure and safe place to live

</li>

<li>rent support while he looks for a more permanent job

</li>

<li>food and litter for his cat Buddy

</li>

<li>other daily necessities and expenses

</li>

</ul>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The ultimate goal of this fundraiser is to give Kaiser safety and stability. Thank you for supporting a member of the Reno trans community.

Help Kaiser Find a Safe Home

<div>On Friday, May 2nd, Cristina and Danielle experienced a devastating house fire that destroyed their home and nearly everything in it. They are now facing the difficult process of recovery, both emotionally and financially.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Danielle sustained burns to her face and body and suffered from smoke inhalation, leading to a costly hospital stay. This happened during her finals week at UTEP, adding extra stress during an already difficult time.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Tragically, they also lost their beloved dog, Bennett, who was a cherished part of their family and brought them comfort, laughter and love.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We’re raising funds to help with:

</div>

<ul>

<li>Danielle’s medical expenses

</li>

<li>Replacing essential items lost in the fire that insurance won't fully cover

</li>

</ul>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Any amount you’re able to give—big or small—will help Cristina and Danielle begin to rebuild. Your support means the world, and your prayers are also deeply appreciated as they move forward from this difficult time.

Help Cristina and Danielle After Fire

<div>In the heart of crisis-ridden Gaza, we grapple with unimaginable, unbearable hardship. <strong>Picture the scene: you’re amidst Shaban’s family. Imagine for a moment being Shaban himself.</strong> Stripped of your home, your security, your very dreams, we endure each day amidst the ruins, clinging to slivers of hope amidst unrelenting despair. You've lost everything. Your once-bustling university, a beacon of knowledge, now stands as a haunting reminder of what was lost. Every dawn brings the struggle to survive, every dusk a grim reminder of the shattered dreams that litter the landscape.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>“I’m Shaban Ahmed,” a 19-year-old software engineering student.</strong> My life has been turned upside down by the unyielding bombings and shelling. Once brimming with aspirations, I now face the harsh reality of displacement and uncertainty.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In Gaza dreams go to die. Each displacement leaves behind another fragment of our shattered souls. The nights, especially, are merciless—cold, unforgiving, filled with the anguished cries of children who know only fear and uncertainty. I used to have big dreams, but the war has ruined them. It's taken a toll on me, making me physically and mentally sick. I suffer from depression and hair loss because of the constant trauma we face. Time feels like it's stopped in Gaza, and we're stuck in a never-ending nightmare.

Support Shaban's family Escape Gaza, From Despair to Hope:

<div>I’m creating this go fund me on behalf of paulys mom Jen. She found out this morning that her daughter was murdered. Pauly was only 14 years old and had a whole life ahead of her. No mother should have to bury their baby and due to her unexpected death the family was not financially prepared for funeral expenses if we could come together as a community and help them out in this impossibly hard time to give them one less thing to worry about that would be amazing! Let’s help this mom lay her baby to rest.

<div>On Monday night, April 8th, 2024 the lives of Christa James and Raymond James were taken from this world too soon in a tragic accident. From the James family, we are seeking the help and support of all our family, friends and well wishers to lay our beloved family members to rest. The unexpected death of both Christa and Raymond is a shock to the community as a whole for they were loved by so many. Kileah James (Christa’s granddaughter and Raymond’s niece) was also involved in the accident but miraculously survived. Kileah was admitted to the hospital with non life threatening injuries such as a fractured sternum, small lacerated spleen, bruised lungs and the memory of witnessing everything. She is currently still recovering mentally and physically. At this time we ask for donations to help with funeral expenses, to cover time off work, and to also help raise Kileah once again as we weren’t prepared for the death of Christa and Raymond. Kileah lost her mother, Phalina James, on March 18th 2022 on i80 as well due to a pedestrian vs. car accident. Truly remarkable people, Christa and Raymond’s legacy will be carried on through Lester James, a husband and father, Tenaya James, a big brother and son &amp; Melody James, a sister and daughter, for we need all the help we can possibly have. This will be a long journey to recovery. Thank you to each and every one of you.

<div>It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we have to share the unexpecting passing of Dagny Benedict on Febuary 8th, 2024. Dagny was a daughter, sister, cousin, and aunt. She was a 16 year old 10th grader from Owasso Oklahoma.

<div>With all the emotional pain and stress death brings, it also brings unexpected financial burdens. We would like to raise money to help take care of any funeral expenses.

<div>It is in times of sadness and loss when people can come together to help one another make it through. Any support you may be able to provide would be greatly appreciated. Please keep Dagny’s family in your thoughts and prayers.

<div>This is the most heartbreaking thing I have ever had to write. On Sunday January 14th my daughter Emma Marie Jordan died in a tragic car accident.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She was 11 years old.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am raising funds to support costs related to this tragedy. These costs include: Funeral Arrangements, Celebration Of Life events, cremation costs, bereavement time, counseling/therapy, and other financial needs of our family that may present themselves.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Emma's family and friends want to create special celebrations of her life in honor of her memory. Emma had a bright light in her soul that impacted everyone she met. We want the celebrations of her life to reflect this in a way that is as special as she was.

<div>In honor of our “Kookoo” (Stryder Quintero aka Beans):
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>”Stries”, was the rainbow in all of our lives. He spread so much joy and love into the lives of everyone he encountered, if he allowed it. He was honorary and quiet but once he got used to you, you fell in love with him. At the very young age of 2, he left this world with his Grandpa Donnie Quintero in a house fire (10/28/2023). A tragic accident, where Brandon Quintero (father of Stryder and son of Donnie) miraculously survived; we will forever remember their cowboy spirit. At this time, we are grateful for any kind words, prayers, and donations for our Stryder Ross Quintero and the McCann/Quintero family.

<div>Hi Family and Friends, our beloved son James Bukowski is very ill and experiencing extreme pain. James has been unable to work for the past several weeks and doctors estimate it will be at least another month before he can return to work. This is obviously placing a severe financial burden on James. James is a kind generous man who helps many people in our community. 
</div>
<div>We are so proud of James and are praying for a full recovery. We thank you for your generous donations during desperate times. Let’s all help James get through these rough days.

<div>Hi I'm Beverly, Autumn’s mother.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am asking support for my daughter Autumn Harry. She is Numu and a member of the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe. Just recently, she had an MRI which confirmed two bulging discs and a herniated disc on her lumbar spine, causing uncomfortable pain in her leg and back. She has not slept well for the past few months and can only sleep in a recliner or surrounded by littered pillows. Since going through physical therapy, massages, chiropractic relief; her walking is still debilitated. She received an epidural injection a couple weeks ago but it hasn’t helped to the degree we had hoped. A surgery is planned next week on Thursday.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Autumn is the spirit of her community. She is an avid hiker, fly fisherwoman, activist, artist, muralist, good listener and pup lover. From building community gardens, fishing for elders and doing mutual aid, she brings advocacy to areas where it is needed including Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Girls, Women, and Two -Spirit relatives (MMIWGR2S).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This money will be used to support her healing, medical visits, and alleviate any other financial strain. We want to make sure she gets back on the trail to reconnect her spirit to the mountains and to the waters. Her recuperation will take 6-8 weeks.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We appreciate the support. Please keep her in your prayers Wednesday and Thursday.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you, Beverly Harry
