<div>My partner Michael and I have always dreamed of starting a family together. With our wedding coming up next year - Summer 2026, we feel this is the perfect time to begin the adoption process—a journey that can take several years but is so important to us. We’re pursuing a domestic adoption, and we’re excited to welcome a child into our lives and give them a loving, supportive home. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> The adoption process comes with many expenses, including agency fees, legal costs, home studies, and some travel depending on where our future child is located. We’re reaching out for support to help us cover these costs and make our dream of becoming parents a reality. We know that with the help of our community, we can provide a safe and nurturing environment for our child to grow and thrive. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> While we love our fur children, having a child is something we talk about and get excited about every day. We’re committed to raising our child to be a kind, confident, and compassionate adult. Both Michael and I are nurturing people, and we know we’ll be the best parents we can be. Your support will help us start this new chapter and give a child the loving family they deserve.

Help Us Start Our Family Through Adoption

<div>A few weeks ago, Grayson got really sick. It started with a high fever and he was complaining of pain in his feet. It progressed to him not being able to walk, refusing to eat, and sleeping all day. He quickly lost 17lbs and was taken to be checked out. His symptoms were dismissed as an ulcerative colitis flare up and he was sent home. Not believing his issues to be related to his UC, his mom took him to urgent care for a second opinion. He was eventually sent to UC Davis for further evaluation where he was finally admitted. Grayson is in pain all day and on a cocktail of medication to try and keep his pain level under control. When he has reached the threshold for what he can be given, he is left to scream in pain for hours until he receives his next dose. He has undergone multiple tests, scans, MRIs and bloodwork but the doctors have not been able to identify what is causing this. The MRI showed findings on his spine and his brain but they have no idea what it is. Building Legos has been helpful to keep his mind occupied and not focused on the pain and donations helped keep him well supplied. The Lego donation campaign via Facebook unfortunately resulted in a fraudulent Venmo account being created, which made it necessary for us to create this GoFundMe.

</div>
<div>Grayson’s mom and dad have both been able to be with him at the hospital but incurred (and continue to incur) expenses to stay near the hospital. Being at the hospital has also resulted in not being able to work. Because doctors have been unable to find a definitive diagnosis or to treat his symptoms, Gray will have to undergo additional testing under anesthesia. Without a diagnosis or a treatment plan there is no timeline for when Gray will be discharged and they will be able to go home. The focus now is to raise money to assist with food and lodging and offset the financial burden that goes with missing work.

Grayson's Struggle: Pain Without Answers

<div>  It is with a heavy, yet hopeful heart, that I ask for help in the cremation of Elsie Anne Cooper (Anne), and Robert Jay Stricklan (Bob). 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>  Our dear friend, Lauren Stricklan and her sister Kristen lost both parents unexpectedly in less than a months time. Bob passed away on January 26, 2023, at the age of 62 at his Anderson, California home. Shortly after Lauren found her mother had passed away in her sleep at her Redding, California home on February 14th 2023. Anne was only 61. In this devastating time they need our love and support. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>  With the untimely passing of both their mother and father. I am asking for help to relieve some of the financial burden associated with their final expenses. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>  Lauren and Kristen need time to grieve this unimaginable loss. If we as a community of friends and family can help alleviate some of the financial pressure they face during this most difficult time, it would mean that they can grieve their loss without the extra burden of financial hardship. If you are able to contribute in any way by either re-posting this to your social platform or donating, it is appreciated more than you can imagine. 
</div>

<div>We thank you all for your love and support in this difficult time.

Please help Lauren with final expenses

Monday our 2 year old grand baby, Estella's doctor found a mass on her little brain causing her to be very ill. Stumbling, vomiting, headaches, fatigue, skin discoloration... This is sooo difficult to write as my emotions are all over the place, so please bare with me and read this through. This is a Father  Mother's worse nightmare.  This baby girl was a miracle at conception.  She needs God to move on her behalf in a big way.  She was taken by ambulance to UC Davis for a shunt to drain fluid from her brain.  As you know traveling is expensive, Nothing is free, cheap, or any help offered due to COVID.<span style="font-size:1.0625rem;">  Our hearts are broken and lives shaken forever.  This page is created to help my Topete Loves in this time of need for food, lodging, gas, bills and whatever else pops up.  This page is created to take some of the load off while they are hurting and trying to have faith and be present for Estella.  No one wants to leave their toddler to go to work right before and after brain surgery.  She has another surgery to remove the tumor in a couple of days.  Please help us pray for our Estella girl.  Whatever you can give to help would be a mind blowing blessing to us, to our kids, and grandbabies.</span>

As most of you know my Mom, Yvonne Sharp has been hospitalized in San Francisco and has been fighting for her life with serious and critical health conditions that has resulted in major organ failure. This has been devastating for our family but we remain hopeful that she will make a recovery. Many of you have reached out with questions of how you can help in times such as these. As these may be our final moments to spend with our Mom, my brother and I want to spend as much time as we can by her side. The costs of remaining down here have gotten to be more than we can afford. Cost of hotels, food, gas for trips from Redding to San Francisco takes a toll on myself and my brother. So if you are wanting to help in any small way this would give us the gift of time spent with our mom during this critical time. We thank you all for your outpouring of love and support and all the prayers for our family and we truly appreciate any small monetary blessings you are able to give. <br /><br />-Marina
