<div>Nan Graf was a beloved family friend who passed away on February 11th. In 2012, she founded Stability in Sobriety (S.I.S.), a sober-living home for women in Indianapolis that continues to change lives every day. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The women at S.I.S. have become family and are a vital part of our community, carrying forward Nan’s vision of hope and healing. Nan's  son Daniel needs help to continue supporting this vision.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since Nan’s passing, many people have reached out asking how they can specifically support the S.I.S. house. This fundraiser is a small way to give back and ensure Daniel can maintain its operations, as well as supporting his family in travel and service costs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your generosity. Nan touched the lives of hundreds — if not thousands — of people seeking healing. Your gift allows her legacy to continue in the hearts of all who crossed her path, but especially her son Daniel and his family.

<div>Help Baby Santi Fight for His Heart

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Santi is just 1½ years old—a sweet, curious, and joyful little boy whose smile can light up an entire room. But right now, Santi is facing the biggest challenge of his young life. He’s at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital receiving treatment for a serious heart condition that requires specialized care and constant monitoring.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>His loving parents, Hiram and Rosa, have been by his side day and night, holding his tiny hands, whispering words of comfort, and praying for his healing. Santi also has two big brothers, Jace and Romeo, who adore him and miss having their little brother home. This journey has been incredibly hard on them, too—they’re trying to be strong while their family’s world has been turned upside down.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The emotional, physical, and financial toll on the family is immense. Between medical expenses, travel, time away from work, and the uncertainty of what comes next, the support of friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers means the world.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Your generosity will help cover:

</div>

<div>	•	Medical bills and ongoing treatment costs

</div>

<div>	•	Travel and lodging near the hospital

</div>

<div>	•	Everyday expenses for the family during this difficult time

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Santi may be small, but his courage is enormous. With your help, we can give him the best chance at recovery and ensure Hiram, Rosa, Jace, and Romeo can focus on what matters most—being together and supporting Santi.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference. Please keep Santi and his family in your thoughts and prayers, and share his story to help us reach as many hearts as possible.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>❤️ Thank you for standing with Santi, Hiram, Rosa, Jace, and Romeo.

<div>Dear Friends and Family,


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Our family is heartbroken by the sudden loss of my uncle, Randy Quinnette. Randy was not only my dad’s beloved brother but also a kind, generous, and irreplaceable part of our lives. He brought so much love and light to our family, and his passing has left us all devastated.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>As my parents, Sandy and Rick Quinnette, navigate the grief of losing a brother and the unexpected expenses that come with such a tragedy, I wanted to create this fundraiser to ease their financial burden during this difficult time. The costs of funeral arrangements, a head stone, and other unforeseen expenses are significant, and I hope to help them focus on healing without the added worry of financial strain.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Uncle Randy was deeply loved, and I know many of you share our grief in his passing. Any contribution you can make, no matter the size, would mean the world to our family. If you’re unable to donate, simply sharing this fundraiser and keeping us in your thoughts and prayers would be a tremendous gift.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support, generosity, and love as we honor the memory of Randy and help my parents during this challenging time.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>With love and gratitude,


</div>

Help Honor Randy Quinnette's Memory

<div>The Bill Estes Chevy team is raising money to help one of our own, Wayne Rogers. 
</div>
<div>Wayne has been with the Bill Estes team for over 10 years. His infectious personality is truly loved by all of his co-workers and customers. His laugh can be heard throughout the dealership and his smile brightens up the whole showroom. Wayne has been out on medical leave since October. This illness has recently affected his muscles which have made even the simplest things hard for him to do. He is currently in rehab fighting to recover. 
</div>
<div>Wayne has been missed greatly as he fights to recover and needs our help as this battle has taken a toll on him and his family both physically and financially. The money raised will help with medical and living expenses. Please consider giving what you can to help one of our treasured team members. 
</div>

Donate to help Wayne Rogers

<div>In the aftermath of the Highland Park, IL shootings on July 4, the North Shore community rallied to help a boy who we knew nothing about. We took him to safety under tragic circumstances, came together to locate his grandparents, and prayed for the safety of his family.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Sadly, I need to share his name…Aiden McCarthy. And he needs more of our help. His parents Irina &amp; Kevin were killed during the July 4 shooting. At two years old, Aiden is left in the unthinkable position; to grow up without his parents.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Aiden will be cared for by his loving family and he will have a long road ahead to heal, find stability, and ultimately navigate life as an orphan. He is surrounded by a community of friends and extended family that will embrace him with love, and any means available to ensure he has everything he needs as he grows.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>On behalf of his family, and with their permission, I am establishing this fundraiser to support him and the caregivers who will be tasked with raising, caring for, and supporting Aiden as he and his support system embark on this unexpected journey.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Thank you for your generosity, kindness and support.

<div>Our hearts are broken for Michelle and her 4 beautiful sweet girls as they lost Scott after a 9-week battle in the hospital. The original purpose of this Gofundme was to assist them with bills and ongoing expenses coming up, but now we have also added the expense of moving forward for this family without their key provider.  Michelle and the girls have a hard road ahead and will need as much support as we can give them. Please share and help in any way possible.<br /><br />We've created this GoFundMe to help with expenses that we know will be coming up for Scott &amp; Michelle's family. Recently, Scott contracted Covid-19, and ended up being hospitalized, and now vented, fighting for his life. Michelle &amp; Scott have a beautiful family and farm, and since Scott has been sick, there has been no income for their family, and medical bills will continue to only rise. Regardless of the outcome, their family will be struggling financially for the foreseeable future, and with all of the things going on right now, this is one area that we can all help with to lessen the stress during this horrible situation. We are all not just their friends, but family. Please consider donating anything at all to help them get through this rough patch. We will post updates below that Michelle posts so that you can read their story and keep up with them. Please consider checking back on here to continue to contribute if you can.<br />

<div><strong>Update from Michelle: 9/10/21 - 11:40pm<br /></strong>For a week, I was adamant about not having one of these set up. We'd figure it out. I'm currently in a spot I don't think I can feasibly figure out now.<br /><br />Scott lost his job last November due to Covid. He ended up taking a temporary job this year just to have some income. It was significantly lower than he made before but we did second jobs (both) to make it work. BC his job is temp, he currently has zero medical insurance, life insurance, and no FMLA paid leave benefits.<br /><br />I am currently realizing just how deep into the darkness I am with bills, both medical and regular, and possibly a funeral. I cant do this, I'm ashamed to admit. Scott was the bread winner around here.<br /><br />I hate asking for help, but I kept looking at my girls pretending it was going to be okay, knowing its not. Even if a miracle happens, it'll be months before he comes home. I am trying hard to do it on my own bc I've never had to ask for help and it embarrasses me, but I've got 4 sets of little eyes looking to me to be there for them in the ways Scott and I both were there, shelter them, and protect them. All whilst trying to be there for him as well. Being thrown to the fires this hard, unexpectedly, has made me realistic about my situation. And its a pickle for sure.<strong><br /><br />Update from Michelle: 9/10/21 - 12:49pm</strong><br />My heart is so heavy and mad right now I can't even process what I'm feeling. Today, I've learned that my love now has a very rare condition, so rare that his cardiologist hasn't ever personally seen it. Its not good.<br />Pneumomediastinum. Write that down and curse every syllable, please? Its effecting his once perfect heart (that he was given a perfect score on just the other day.)<br />The vent is currently working at max for him.<br /> <br />All the care teams are currently discussing a course of action, if any, can be taken.<br />But when you're given a very very poor prognosis, at this rate we are needing a miracle for Scott.<br />I'm barely holding composure to write this as I'm so angry. So hurt. So scared. I'm so worried I have to tell my girls their loving Dad is probably going to die. I don't even know how to do that. I don't want to do this life alone, without him. Not at all. He kept telling me he won't survive the vent, and I keep hoping he's wrong as usual.<br /> <br />I want to hold his hand and kiss his face, and just snuggle up to him. And I can't do any of that. Maybe not even be able to ever again. I am so broken right now. And hanging onto the hopes that his soul and will to be with us again is stronger than the the things trying to take him away from us.<br /> <br />I am going to rest for right now. Terrified of what that future phone call holds for me, and us. Please refrain from actually calling me right now. I cant turn my ringer down bc I need to answer the when the hospital calls. But I am so, so worn out and beaten down, I need to do this so I can be strong for the girls when they get home from school.<br /> <br />Continue to message and text,- that's okay- I've got those silenced, but please....let me rest a bit.<br />And pray harder than you ever have before!!!!!<br /><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Update from Michelle: 9/9/21 - 12:42pm</strong>
</div>

<div>9:33 a.m, as I was gathering up things to take up to his room to make it cozy and be of a constant reminder of home, we stopped treading water and dove fully into the deep end.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>The hospital called to inform me they would be fully intubating him immediately after I was able to "talk" to him. I said my "I love you" and got a very emotional, Darth Vader styled "I love you" back. Followed by lots of crying and him muttering that he's scared. (Background info for those that don't know. Scott was a respiratory therapist and an Army Medic, served in Desert Storm. He is VERY aware of everything happening right now, the severity of condition he's in, risks with intubation, and mortality rates for his conditions alone, not even including covid). He's terrified. Broke me into so many pieces that I'm still trying to pick them up.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>His machine started honking ferociously as his vitals were all over the place. And as I was telling him to relax and that I would see him when he wakes up, they had to hang up bc he was getting too upset.
</div>

<div>As a roller coaster enthusiast, I don't like this one very much. I've not even been able to process hurdles and emotionally deal with them before being thrown to the fires with the next.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>I hope this isn't the trend from here on out.
</div>

<div>I hope his ability to fully rest will heal him with no more setbacks.
</div>

<div>I hope he's awake in a week.
</div>

<div>I mostly hope his fears do not come to fruition.
</div>

<div>I need this man to come back home to us.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>But we never have done shit the easy way, have we?
</div>

<div>Today we took two steps back, and then just decided to gear up in a wing suit and jump off the cliff. Just out here floating around on the wings of hope.
</div>

<div>That's where we are.
</div>

<div>Please keep our babies in your hearts.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div><strong>Update from Michelle: 9/9/21 - 3:46am</strong>
</div>

<div>One step forward; two steps back. It is just the way we roll around here. Had an emergency visit to the hospital this evening.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Scott's lung x-rays were showing a &lt;2cm pneumothorax (collapsed lung) on one side, and possibly the start of another on the other side. They were doing emergency surgery and he was being taken to ICU for chest tube surgery.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>I finally got to see him for the first time and visit with him for a little bit while he was waiting to go into surgery. A VERY emotional visit, as we both knew very well that it could be the last time we saw and spoke to one another. I got the girls on a video call with him so he could see them and they could tell him whatever they wanted. He was VERY emotional during this, so much that I had to hang up so he could calm down and we could get his heart rate and o2 to level back out. I'm pretty sure I experienced every single emotion known to man, all in a very short time span. Im also a Cancer, so I'm EXTRA on the crybaby gene.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>We were also able to scramble together (very last minute) a last will and testament and a POA, after days of trying hard to get it done. A feat not proving to be easy, given the nature of his illness and the no visitors rule, combined with needing it over a holiday weekend, combined with no money to pay for one. But we did it, thanks for the life saving attorney husband of a dear friend of mine. He helped guide me through the constantly evolving situation up there, concerning the whole thing.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>This urgent process is not fun. I give it zero out of 5 stars.
</div>

<div>During surgery, he had a bit of a tough time, so sedation was increased to make him feel more comfortable.
</div>

<div>He expressed his wishes NOT to be intubated unless he absolutely needed it. Having been a respiratory therapist and an Army medic, he fully understands the severity of intubation and how it can negatively effect the lungs with tons of pneumonia. He's already got that badly, he did not want to potentially add more to it. So again, this man has managed to escaped intubation. But still, treading very thin waters.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>The good news is he is out of surgery, and doing well currently. The bad news is that he is maxed out on bipap still. Any decreases in vitals will require intubation at this point.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>He is terrified of this situation. I think, in part because he isn't confident he would survive it, and in part because has been on the other side of intubation. He knows the whole process, complications, and recovery processes. I hope it's more of the latter.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>I'm still hoping for miraculous healing without vent work, and no post complications. Please continue to hope, pray, and love to your hearts content. I fear that we are not even close to being out of the water, and have just merely waded in at this point instead.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>For those wondering how I am doing (with having covid and dealing with all of this), I am physically fine, mentally exhausted, and emotionally drained. Having said that, it's 3:42 am and I have to get up at 5:30 to start the day. Goodnight and I will keep you all posted......
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div><strong>Update from Michelle: 9/7/21 - 9:48am</strong>
</div>

<div>Most of you reading this are not aware of this, and I apologize. But I wanted to tell everyone why I've not been responding back to messages/texts about random things. Only 2 handfuls of you know that Scott caught Covid, and we were all quarantined. I had to rush him to the hospital when he was at the tail end of his quarantine bc he started to exhibit severe respiratory distress signs. He was immediately admitted. His o2 sats were only at 50% when he was admitted. He ended up tanking while I was out getting his meds/vitamins/ electrolytes for him, and my covid test. I came back home and honestly thought he had passed bc of the way he looked. Major cyanosis and the rest of his skin was white or ashen. He's been in since his birthday, Monday, August 30th
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>At this point, I don't know what the outcome will be. As many of you know, its very touch and go with this illness. He's had good days and some really bad, scary ones. He's been on 100% oxygen for most of his stay. His pneumonia is worsening and x-rays yesterday are showing more infiltrates on his lungs.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>By whatever grace though, he's NOT been intubated ...yet. And I'm double crossing all my fingers and toes he wont be. But he is straddling a really fine line to being so. He's currently on the last step before intubation. Some days improving, while others taking steps back. I keep being told he's looking at weeks in there unless a miracle happens and his infection miraculously heals and clears. But even IF that happens, his road to recovery will be long due to scar tissue on the lungs he will more than likely have coming out.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>I'm trying very hard to be optimistic but realistic. But slowly getting discouraged.
</div>

<div>This week, I'm working on preparing a living will for us (bc we didn't have one prior) and I'm not going to lie- I'm scared shitless. I'm stressed for other reasons, and I just want everything to go back to normal. Our normal, which is weird as hell, as you all know.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>I don't know what any day brings, but I do know I could really use your prayers, well wishes, good graces, and love. I just want to hear my friends, and my people right now. ❤ I wasn't going to post publicly bc I hate making people fret and worry (and I'm relatively a private person in this regard), but so many folks keep trying to reach out to me for random stuff, and because I've not felt well enough for small talk, I needed to address it.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>I ended up catching covid from him and have been at home, alone with the kids, with them to watch out for me. All the while, trying to take care of them AND stay away from them. Not the easiest task by any means.
</div>

<div>Please keep him and us in your thoughts. I'm banking on your positivity to carry me through bc I know I'm going to drown in my own thoughts some days.
</div>

<div>Love to you all. And sorry if I don't respond back to you. I don't mean any rudeness.
</div>

Help Michelle & her girls after losing their Dad

My darling daughter Sage has a rare genetic condition called Constitutional Mismatch Repair Deficiency Syndrome. In plain language she has been forced to battle brain and colon cancer over the past several years. Unfortunately, the battle is coming to an end; we have called in hospice this week. <br /><br />We could greatly use your help with the funeral expenses. The quote we received is for close to $20,000, which will be a tremendous burden for her mother and me. As is typical, most of that will be due at the time of the funeral. As of right now, I am not certain how we are going to come up with that money. <br /><br />If if you can help in even the smallest amount, it  would be greatly appreciated. It would also be immensely helpful if you can share this appeal online and IRL. <br /><br />Thank you you all for your kindness and generosity!
