<div>This past Friday night, (May 22) Mesiah and their brother Elijah were in a serious car wreck. The vehicle was t-boned on the passenger side, where Mesiah took the majority of the impact. Mesiah is now suffering from a broken pelvis in three places, a broken rib, collapsed lung, a laceration to the liver and minor injuries on their face. At this point the doctors are saying they may require surgery. In addition they will need to be on bed rest/in a wheelchair for at least 6 weeks as they recover.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This accident occurred while they were visiting family in California and until they heal they will not be able to return to New York.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you know Mesiah, you know how deeply and fully they show up for their loved ones, communities, and for the land, and now we're being given an opportunity to show up for, pour into and uplift their precious, sacred life!
</div>
<div>Below are some of the priorities we need these funds to cover. Please spread widely and generously, and we encourage folks to make monthly recurring donations if possible:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>- A vehicle </strong>
</div>
<div><strong>- Moving Expenses (they were in the middle of moving out of their home in New York this month, but will be recovering in California while still needing to make arrangements for the move to happen without them)</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>- Medical Care, Physical Therapy, Equipment, Rehabilitation &amp; Healing</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>- In-Home Community Support</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>- Meals, Medicine, &amp; long term recovery </strong>
</div>
<div><br />

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Note from Mesiah: “ Hey yall I’m going to be okay! A bit of an unexpected situation but I am here and being present. I am grateful for my life and looking forward to what the stillness and slowdown will teach me. It’s a little of an edge for me to receive and let others care for me but I’m in a state of acceptance and trusting the process. Thank you for your love and support. Shout out to my body, my community, my spirit, and all the prayers”

Help Mesiah Heal!

<div>Hello Everyone. As many of you may know, our dear mentor, elder, and friend, Yoshi suffered a stroke a while back and has been recovering in a facility in Los Angeles. Thanks to everyone who’s supported in anyway, so far.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We currently have until the end of April to move all of his sacred ceremonial, and other belongings, from their current location in Los Angeles, to his storage facility in New Mexico.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Robbie and Marwa (pictured) are willing to make this happen physically. But we’re requesting community support to raise the funds for the truck rental and related expenses (and hopefully some left over for monthly storage fees).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The total isn’t much, spread out amongst his community. So if everyone can pitch in what they can, we can make it happen quickly and meet the deadline for moving, which technically is the end of March. But we have some wiggle room.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you all, once again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tony &amp; Yoshi’s Friends &amp; Family

Emergency Move Support Needed for Yoshi

<div><strong>Making this Go Fund Me and asking for  help from my community has been a hard and vulnerable decision to make</strong>. This subject is very sensitive to me and over the years has been difficult to talk about. But as my <strong>40th birthday</strong> approaches I'm finally allowing myself to ask for what I need. I'm ready to have a more fulfilling life and do normal things I haven't been able to.<br /><br /><br /><strong>My story and diagnosis:</strong><br />The first time I ever noticed I was different was I was six years old  PE class.<strong> I could not run. In fact, I have never ran</strong><strong>. I fall all the time, was not able to get off the floor or low surfaces without help and going up stairs is next to . </strong>I would be made fun of relentlessly.  My family were Christian Scientists so they did not believe in going to the doctor. Which was unfortunate because if I had gone at that point I may have been able to receive treatment. I didn't get diagnosed until I was an adult. I went myself and finally found out it was <strong>SMA. Spinal Muscular Atrophy is a rare neuromuscular disorder in which the nerve does not signal the muscle to work. It's degenerative so I am losing strength as time goes on</strong>. Thankfully I am a type 3 but most people with it are type 1 and 2 and their life in a wheelchair or often die at birth. Genetic testing  has confirmed I have this gene.<br /><br /><br /><strong> Why I need a scooter:</strong><br />1. I have seen a decline in my ability to walk in the recent years. I am only able to walk very short distances that are flat. I have a hard time going up hills and have to take many breaks. I am still prone to falling and am always nervous about falling in public because I cannot get up by myself. I literally have to have a strong person pick me up which is really embarrassing.<strong>  </strong><br /><br />2. I want to be independent and not have to rely on others. Danny has been so so helpful and supportive but I don't want to depend on him or strangers to get around.<br /><br />3. There are many places that I like to go that are becoming more and more difficult to access. It causes a ton of anxiety. Luckily I was able to go on disability and get Medicare which allowed me to get a scooter. This changed my life BUT in the last year I have had it it has broken down countless times. Medicare has strict rules and will not cover a  replacement. The one I have is literally supposed to be used inside my house. What a joke! <br /><br />These are some of the places I would like to go that I currently have a really hard time getting around.<br /><br />-<strong>My very hilly neighborhood </strong><br /><strong>-Hiking trails </strong><br /><strong>-The beach</strong><br /><strong>-Theme parks</strong><br /><strong>-Festivals</strong><br /><strong>-Traveling </strong><br /><br /><br />
</div>

<div><strong>What I'm asking for:</strong><br /><strong>-An all terrain mobility scooter that has a good battery so it can go long distance-$4500</strong>
</div>

<div><strong>-A lift gate for my car so that I can transport it-$2000</strong><br /><strong>-A hitch to attach lift gate plus installation-$500</strong><br /><br />See the pictures below for examples of these.<br /><br />As a gift for your kind donation you will receive a  ticket to a Dreamupright virtual magic show!<br /><br />I love you and thank you so much! sharing this helps too:)<br /><br />xoxox,<br /><br />Heather

Help Heathers Spinal Muscular Atrophy for her 40th

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">I need your help to raise $25,000 before the end of July because I want to teach online baking and cooking classes. These classes will support young people to become confident in the kitchen while building an intimate and nourishing relationship with food. The classes will be for-profit; however, I will pay it forward by offering classes to children passionate about cooking and baking based on donations and sponsorships.                                                </span>


</p>


<p class="p1" style="font-size:medium;line-height:normal;"><br />
</p>


<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">It would help if you donated to fund Yahshi Bakes Classes because many children don’t learn about cooking in school, and it’s a fundamental life skill. Cooking incorporates health, wellness, science, math, history, and environmental justice. In these classes, I will share everything that I know about my love for baking, the practicality of cooking, and how the two are intertwined. Students will have an opportunity to work on their time management, communication, and culinary skills.</span>


</p>


<p class="p1" style="font-size:medium;line-height:normal;"><br />
</p>


<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">To bring my vision to life, I need to hire a production team, including videographers, clothing stylists, prop stylists, and additional support. I also need to pay for a studio to film in, equipment, and ingredients. To give you a sense of the pricing, on average, it costs $1,000 per minute to film a video. I will be working with various videographers, and the average package price is $800 per video, discounted to $5,000 per chapter.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">I am filming in an Airbnb, which costs about $200 per day in addition to the tax, service fees, and ingredients. Each production day will between six and nine hours. We can film a chapter in about seven days. </span>


</p>


<p class="p1" style="font-size:medium;line-height:normal;"><br />
</p>


<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">The course curriculum that I’ve designed includes over 50 videos and counting, from simple recipes that are essential components for pastries and others that are time-consuming and meticulous. By guiding students through the reasons for each step and explaining the outcome, I will coach them through the trials and tribulations of baking and reward them with the simplicity and freedom of cooking.</span>


</p>


<p class="p1" style="font-size:medium;line-height:normal;"><br />
</p>


<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">The classes will also allow Yahshi Bakes to expand our audience until we are ready to host our series two fundraiser that will sponsor us to have a private commercial kitchen space to fulfill large orders. </span>


</p>


<p class="p1" style="font-size:medium;line-height:normal;"><br />

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Lastly, I am also working on a top-secret writing project that requires an editor, which costs $75-$200+ per hour. The project will require several hours to edit, and I need your help to produce quality work that I am proud of making. I will share more details with you in due time. </span>

<p class="p1" style="font-size:medium;line-height:normal;"><br />

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">I appreciate your generosity, and I am grateful for your donations and support! </span>

Yahshi Bakes Classes & Expansion

<img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/48368588_1592080170569577_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="48368588_1592080170569577_r.jpeg" /><br /><br />The situation throughout the Amazon Basin is dire as indigenous peoples, already facing centuries of systemic oppression, suffer from illness, lack of food, medical supplies and income due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Medical infrastructure has completely collapsed in many regions and jungle communities are left largely to fend for themselves. Without access to direct aid, people are already dying at alarming rates. We must act now. <br /><br /><a href="http://folkmed.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">FOLK MEDICINE</a>  is an umbrella fundraising concert and interview series that supports direct pandemic relief throughout the Amazon. We are raising funds to be distributed to aid efforts underway throughout the Amazon Basin. Our June 10th live-stream concert raised 32 thousand dollars on the first night (between ticket sales, private donations and this gofundme) with 10 thousand viewers between Zoom and Facebook Live. Our initial goal of 150 thousand dollars will support indigenous Amazonians who need money for food, medications, oxygen, and economic relief now and in the coming months. Folk Medicine is sending aid to 35 existing campaigns!<br /><br />Many of us have been touched by the blessings of Amazonian wisdom traditions, or at the very least, recognize the importance of reciprocity for the guardians of this vital organ of our planet - the Amazon Rain Forest. The artists have generously offered their talent and platforms to raise awareness and funds to offer immediate assistance with 100% of donations financing direct aid.<br /><br />We are happy to be partnering with De la Tierra to manage and distribute funds directly to indigenous families as well as to Amazon Watch, Amazon Frontlines, Chaikuni Institute and Boa Foundation. Our ultimate aim, however, is to send as much direct aid as possible to existing fundraising campaigns that we have vetted. This way, the majority of funds raised will get to the people who need it the most.<br /><br />De la Tierra's mission is to preserve the Amazon Rainforest by promoting thriving Indigenous communities, merging modern advancements with ancestral tradition through education and empowerment. Restoring harmony, health and balance to the Earth and her inhabitants through a rich quality of life.<br /><br />De la Tierra envisions a future where strong, culturally intact, sovereign communities progressively steward their local bioregions in a sustainable, low impact and reciprocal way. Where the health of the community is a reflection of the health of the land.

Folk Medicine - Benefit for Amazonian Peoples

The McComas family has lived in the Santa Cruz Mts since the 60’s. Our family is rooted in this community. Anybody that knows them, knows what great people they are and how much they help out the community. On August 20th their forever home burned to the ground. Leaving these 3 wonderful people without a place to live. Their own history completely gone to ash. They have nothing left and desperately need your help. This fund is going to help them directly with finding a place to stay, food in their bellies, and getting clothes on their backs. Still in complete shock and trying to make sense of what is to come next.<br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/50625846_1598212565989159_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="50625846_1598212565989159_r.jpeg" /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/50625846_1598212574946992_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="50625846_1598212574946992_r.jpeg" /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/50625846_159821259162769_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="50625846_159821259162769_r.jpeg" />My mom and dad have lived in that house for 30 years, me and my brother grew up in this house. My daughter has her first memories in this house. I have watched my dad put 30 years of blood, sweat a tears into landscaping and repairing the property.

Please help Johanna, Jim and Monique McComas

<p>Welcome!<br /><br />I am so happy you’re here! Thank you for visiting my fundraiser and taking the time to learn more about me, my story and my dream of being THE CHANGE I want to see in the world and to support Mamma’s, Women and Families to do the same! And to continue to create my life by design to where I can live my truth, create a legacy of passion and purpose and ultimately gift my family the life I always wanted as a young child... A life of hope, support, safety and love! <br /><br />My name is Kylie Ann Love, many of you know me as Wild Mamma! I’ve been living and loving off the coast of Ecuador, where the jungle meets the sea, for the past four years. I am a lover of life, healing and wellness! I am a Mamma to two little WILD boys both under three years old! I am a humanitarian and philanthropist by default and it is my greatest gift, passion and purpose to support others in reclaiming their health, wealth and becoming THE CHANGE our world needs to see... For the next seven generation to come! I am especially passionate about supporting Mammas, Women and Families! Which brings me to great joy to have the opportunity to share my vision with YOU! <br /><br />BUT FIRST.... I’d like to take a moment to share a little bit about WHY I am here on this platform raising funds...<br /><br />Four years ago, I left my entire life behind in California to chase a wild love, adventure and dream all the way to Ecuador. Over the past four years I have worked my absolute BUTT OFF to create an eco-village and healing space for people and families to come visit, have a transformational experience and learn alternative ways of living! During these past four years of working my BUTT almost all the way off and relentless devotion, I’ve also carried, birthed and continue to nurture two beautiful little baby boys!... Through the growing pains of birthing two humans, a whole new world and a village at the same exact time, I was able to heal and grow in miraculous ways! It was challenging yet rewarding and beautiful! I always had the highest hopes for my family, my success and was working towards my wellness brand launch (which I’ll share more on!)... <br /><br />AND THEN... COVID-19 HIT and burned  it all to the ground! .... OK that is a bit dramatic but in all reality, like every single one of us, it did massively CHANGE EVERYTHING!...<br /><br />Since then, I have lost my business, had to put a big pause on the new one I am building and my relationship abruptly ended... And just like that, in an instant, my whole world had been flipped upside down...<br /><br />I moved out of my home and into a new one with my boys... In such a challenging and pivotal moment in my journey, I initially felt a lot of fear and anxiety around what would become of my life and family... Which I’m sure is an experience you all can relate to in these radical times of change we are all in... After the initial phase of fear and grieving, I felt empowered again!... Even more than before!... I made a conscious choice to push forward with fierce love and trust. I chose to see this as an opportunity to start all over and to do things in an even bigger and brighter way! With even more love, intention and purpose!  I know it is possible to rise up from this situation with grace, gratitude and innovation and inspire others that are in the same situation to do the same! This is my initiative! <br /><br />I also want to acknowledge that I am so fortunate, blessed and even privileged to get to be on this platform to ask for support in this way. So many people in the world are suffering right now and don’t have community and the internet... So I am so grateful! My wish is to do my work, expand and evolve so that I can too help people like that one day... And one thing that I have learned from life is that we must fill our cup up first so we can pour over and fill the cups of everyone else in need! And that’s really what this vision is to me! <br /><br />OK NOW!.. I finally get to share my vision with you and tell you what you get to support me with! <br /><br />My DREAM is to continue the build and launch of my online wellness community and brand. Stay Wild Mamma is designed and intended to inspire, encourage and support Mammas, Women and Families all over the world! To BE THE CHANGE! We plan to create some really exciting programs, courses and ebooks that focus on holistic wellness, nutrition, natural living and provide stay at home Mammas and individuals with an opportunity to build their own at home wellness business with our collective! We focus on creating easy, realistic recipes that are colorful and packed full of nutrients that will support health, vitality and ease in the kitchen! With a heavy focus on creating content, encouragements, products and educational material we get to support positive change and empower people to get excited about transforming their health and lives! We are here to be teachers, guides and to create positive impact in peoples lives and in the world! We are so much more than a wellness brand! Stay Wild Mamma is a global community, an online resource, an opportunity and a MOVEMENT! And in time, our hopes are to evolve into a non-profit and be able to support Mammas, Women and Families in even more powerful and impactful ways!<br /><br />SO... I humbly ask YOU to believe in me and support my dream so that I can BE THE CHANGE and support other to be the same! <br /><br />I want to acknowledge that we are all in some form of a financial hardship with this collective situation we are all in. And I also believe there is enough money out in the world to support each other in times of need. Though I know many of us are struggling with money in this moment I also know a lot of people you are more than financially abundant in this moment that would feel excited and inspired to share and support. So whom ever you are... THANK YOU! Every dollar counts! <br /> <br />I believe, that stewarding others through a healing, health and wealth transformation is more crucial today than ever before! We all have so much work to do here to clean up this mess and heal our whole lives and world. It is my belief that we all need to be feeling our best, healthiest, strongest, most energized selves with mental clarity and peace within to BE GREAT CHANGE MAKERS in this REVOLUTIONARY time of CHANGE! As within, so without! <br /><br />So with that said, I humbly ask for YOUR SUPPORT as I truly believe my MISSION is more important NOW than ever before! My intention with these funds is to use them as the tools I’ll need to fully dedicate myself to bringing this vision to life. If I reach my goal I project that I will be able to launch and go live as early as April 2021. And once launched, Mammas, Women and Families all over the world will have instant access to Stay Wild Mamma, a new global community and online resource offering a safe space to connect, learn, heal, grow and become apart of our growing community of change makers earning money from home while helping others! <br /><br />We are living in a wild, wild world right now. No one knows what tomorrow will bring... And I truly believe we must stay true to our visions, shine our light, reach out for support,  work even harder to impact change and support one another! <br /><br />Please enjoy some photos that inspire me that I’ve shared below of my favorite humans and creations! <br /><br />THANK YOU SO MUCH! <br /><br />WITH ALL MY LOVE,<br /><br />Kylie Ann Love <br /><br />STAY WILD!

<p>My mom has been blessed with such an amazing life filled with such beauty. Even in this moment my mom radiates such beauty and light.  Her compassion, generosity, humor and wisdom will be missed by all those blessed to experience it. Four weeks ago mom started to loose her appetite and desire to take in fluids. her stability was off as well and she had a couple falls. No injuries from them but just enough to alert us that  her disease, Alzheimers, had taken a turn for the worse.  We took her to the hospital. Honestly one of the hardest choices I’ve made to this point due to our current covid situation. We thought she would have to be in there all by herself. By the grace of GOD we both were allowed to be with her. the hospital staff gave her fluids intravenously. also she had been speaking of intense pains in her chest as well. upon receiving the X-ray results she showed signs of have multiple myelomas. A form of bone cancer which is degenerative and very painful. She is also showing signs of kidney failure. In full respect to her advance directive. and many conversations we’ve had with her up to this point about her living many years with this horrible disease. We are honoring her choice not treat the cancer and bring her home for hospice care for her final days. We are doing our best with the emotional weight of the situation. While taking on managing her care at home at this time. She has beautiful  moments of lucidity. but mainly she spends the majority of her time with her eyes closed conversing with friends, family and angels. we are doing our best to keep her pain free and calm with medications and lots of love until she transitions. As the days go on and her breathing is becoming more laborious. This fundraiser will support Momma G during these final days of her transition, any extra support or care we bring in for her comfort, supplies and the completion of her request to be cremated and returned to the earth in Seattle next to her family. We extend an immense amount of gratitude to alll of the beautiful support by family and friends at this time. Holding this space with love, light, compassion and impeccability is only possible with all of your support and prayer. We have been surrounded by our guides, ancestors and many angels during this time. We are forever grateful. And know mom is feeling all of your love and support as she transitions back home. Thank you

Gurteen Taylor Schiavo transition support

Haize Hawke is a Certified Doula and a Student Midwife.<br /><br />She is also a Spiritual Counselor and Community Leader.<br /><br />Like many birth professionals during a pandemic, she is serving those who generally don't have access to resources, finding them food, supplies, and at times, shelter- known as full spectrum care. <br /><br />We are raising money so that Haize can continue to provide these resources for her community as well a complete her own midwifery training, and pay for the board exams and certifications. <br /><br /><br /><br />--------<br />More about Haize:<br />As an advanced Doula, she honors birth as a sacred Rite of Passage and the womb as its Temple. Haize supports the belief that pregnancy is a spiritual, emotional, mental and physical journey where the Family’s thoughts and emotions, the emotional changes witnessed by the Partner and the physical/emotional changes the Expectant Mother feels within her body, all impact how a woman chooses to birth her baby.<br /><br />Haize provides mothers with a safe haven where they can ask questions, speak freely, and gain advice and support - a sacred counsel for women in their journey at this most sacred time of life, giving guidance through the emotional aspect of pregnancy and labor. She also offers counseling for birth related issues, including fear in labor, birth traumas throughout the matrilineal ancestry, and postpartum concerns.<br /><br />She is dedicated to preserving the ancestral knowledge of granny midwifery. She returned to Ghana as one of the pieces of her ancestral training, and is a community resource and elder. <br /><br />See her talking about Being with the Uncomfortable here: <br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CBdsVD9A6Y8/" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/p/CBdsVD9A6Y8/</a><br /><br />or about Love, the Fierce Kind<br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CBbAywtAVcR/" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/p/CBbAywtAVcR/</a>

Black Midwifery Support & Ancestral Wisdom

We are raising funds for the Ramirez/Fachin family in San Francisco, Yarinacocha, Peru. Although The Shipibo-Konibo tribe has been hit hard by this pandemic we have not found a credible source for donating that will necessarily reach all Shipibo families.  Therefore we have created this campaign for friends of the Ramirez Fachin families at Ronin Sina. I have seen that this is the path others have taken with families they are close to as well.<br /><br />Maestro Sina Ramirez Rios (67) and his wife Rosa (64) are both currently ill. Their youngest son Gilmer is very ill. They suspect it is with the virus that has caused the pandemic but they cannot be sure due to lack of testing in the Pucallpa region. <br /><br />We plan to periodically disperse funds in an ongoing effort to relieve some of the effects of this pandemic and to help them to purchase necessary items for survival. Their livelihoods are completely upended at this time as they have no work to offer foreigners, no plants are allowed to be shipped to other countries and there are no tourists to sell their artwork to. <br /><br />If you have been touched by their work directly or indirectly (through their students) please consider supporting them. They are getting absolutely no financial support from their government.<br /><br />I will add more information as it becomes available to me.

Which includes transport and an hour of therapy. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is his only hope for recovery at this point. This therapy calms the inflammation in the brain, creates new neuro pathways in the brain, and stimulates neurogenesis. Essentially putting the fire of inflammation out in his brain, so healing can take place. In order to heal we need to create the right environment, and the body will do the rest. <br /><br />I continue to stay prayerful and hopeful, trusting in The love of GOD that I have inside of me. Please help me bring my brother back! Love is Power. Love is ACTION! I cannot do this alone, I need help from family and the community. Thank You. Peace and blessings your way. <br /><br />My name is Isabel,  I’ve been by my brother Michael’s side everyday in the hospital Since his accident. The picture above is Mikes only son Nathan. When I found out my brother got severely injured, I truthfully dropped everything and moved into the Hospital with him, by his bedside to watch over him and ensure he’s getting the best care since February 6th, 2019 and continue to stay by his side through it all, everyday, supporting him through the hardest battle of his life. <br /><br />LOVE IS STRENGTH! LOVE IS ACTION!  He needs me to be strong for him and keep the faith in his healing. I pray with him everyday, share motivational videos and uplifting music, range of motion excercises and aromatherapy massage, to let him know he’s supported and not alone. <br /><br />Mikey is only 34 years young with his entire life ahead of him, very bright, strong, cheerful young man, so full of life. He has a beautiful eight year old son named Nathan that needs him to guide him through life and be his father. Please if you’ve ever been shown kindness and care,  give whatever contribution you can give to help us. Paying the action of love and kindness forward, brings more abundance and joy. GOD BLESS.
