<div>Brad was recently diagnosed with oral cancer. While his prognosis is good, he will be out of work for several months as he undergoes treatment and recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For anyone who knows Brad and his work ethic, this fundraiser will replenish their financial stability as he spends his time resting and staying strong during treatment. The Kelleys spread love and compassion wherever they are, so let's return that kindness now. Easing their financial burden will be one of the most helpful ways we can show them our love and support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We also have a MealTrain set-up to deliver them dinner. <a href="https://mealtrain.com/75w458" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://mealtrain.com/75w458" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://mealtrain.com/75w458</a></a>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Brad asks for folks to reach out to him directly, as Kathryn is managing his care during treatment and keeping daily operations flowing.

<p>Hi. My wife and I have been evicted from our home. She is employed but I'm not. I've been searching and applying to anything and everything. We got behind after Trea had to be hospitalized. She had 
</p>
<p>Diverticulitis and it took some time to heal and recover. We came up with the money to stay at the place but the realtor decided not to let us stay. Our lease was up and we were on a month to month so I don't know if that had anything to do with their decision. If anyone has any leads on an apartment in Durham
</p>
<p>27705 zip please let us know.
</p><br />
<p>Anyways we have tried getting assistance but either we have been given the wrong time to show up or assistance is no longer available. We have called 211 and met with someone from there. We thought there might be some assistance out there that helps people who have been evicted find another place but we haven't found anything that doesn't take a very long time. 
</p><br />
<p>Hopefully I'll be able to sell a few concert posters that have some value to them and that will help cover some expenses. 
</p><br />
<p>Anyways if anyone wants to helps us out it's much appreciated..even if you don't mind us camping in your yard. of course we rely on public transportation so in Durham we have to stay. Well if you want any info please don't hesitate to ask. 
</p><br />
<p>these funds will be used to pay for a room and to get another place. we have been having trouble finding something in our price range that's in a location we can get 
</p>
<p>around without a car. 
</p>
<p>Thanks for everyone's kindness, it means so much to us. More than we can ever possibly show. 
</p><br />
<p>much love 
</p>

Help Alvin Walk Again — Urgent Hip Surgery Fund
<br /> My name is Alvin, and I’m sharing this with as much honesty and hope as I can.

Not long ago, I was hit by a car, and my hip was broken. What followed has been months of pain, limited mobility, and constant worry about what my future might look like. Doctors told me that without surgery, I’ll likely lose the ability to walk normally — and may end up in a wheelchair permanently.

That’s not something I’m ready to accept.

I’ve been doing everything possible to keep going — physical therapy, pain management, and staying positive — but the truth is, the surgery costs $25,000, and I simply can’t afford it on my own. I’ve already used every bit of my savings just to stay afloat.

This surgery would mean freedom. It would mean walking again, working again, living again — instead of being trapped by pain and limitation.

If you’ve ever known what it feels like to fight for your independence, or to stare down a moment that could change your life forever, then you understand how much this means to me.

Every donation — big or small — is a step closer to healing. Even sharing this page helps more than you know.

 Please help me walk again.
Help me move from pain to possibility.
Help me write a new chapter after this accident.

 Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
— Alvin

No wheelchair fund

<div>My name is Yuri Federman. I am one of the two co-owners of Level 42 Gallery &amp; Studio in the River Arts District of Asheville, NC. I opened Level 42 with one of my best friends of 20 years, Ben Ross, in 2018. Over the years of running 42 together we have hosted countless art shows in our gallery, workshops/classes in our studio, and our studio has been home to a wide variety of glass artists from Asheville and around the US. Level 42 has been our home and a powerful community hub for the flameworking scene here in the South East.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are reaching out to you all at an absolutely devastating time for our business after we have experienced catastrophic flooding here in WNC. Being directly on the Fench Broad River here in Asheville, our building went almost entirely underwater during the flooding caused by Helene. The river reached a height of 24.67 ft, putting the water all the way to the rafters of our building. <strong>Our gallery and studio have been destroyed</strong>. Not only have we suffered immense financial loss, and we lost the place that we did business, we have also lost a community hub and a business that helped support hundreds of artists over the years.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To help support us as we work to bring Level 42 back, we are launching this GoFundMe and we are asking for your help. <strong>Your contributions of any size will help us in our next steps to rise from this terrible mess and to find our way again</strong>. Every donation makes a difference, and we are forever indebted to you all for your help right now. Our goal of $50k for this GoFundMe feels like a daunting number to us, but with your collective efforts this will help us to find stability and to start supporting the glass community once more.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While the challenge of rebuilding what once was will be incredibly difficult, it is our intention to work to rebuild and to come back stronger. All donations will go towards helping us get back to a place where we can support ourselves so that we can sell art and support the artists we love again. Your contribution will go directly towards helping us and our families as we navigate life without our gallery/studio.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are beyond grateful for your generosity and your support as we start down this new path, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being here with us. It is hard to ask for help, but if there has ever been a time to lean on our community, we believe the time is now. 
</div>

Help support us on our path to rebuild Level 42.

<div>It feels unbelievable to be sitting here writing these words. One week ago, a literal "perfect storm" hit the southern states and devastated the Western North Carolina mountains, including Weaverville where Billy and Mary live with their 2 boys. Hurricane Helene was preceded by several days of rain causing absolutely catastrophic flooding and damage to the Asheville/ Weaverville area.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Billy, an internationally renowned dobro player, was on the mountain during the storm. He woke up to what he describes as nothing short of a "war zone". Trees and power lines everywhere. Roads, bridges and infrastructure literally washed away, leaving he and Bodie stranded on the mountain. We're grateful that Mary and Julian were out of town at a family gathering when the storm hit. Billy has worked tirelessly in the days since, trying to clear trees and make the area safe for others that also live on the mountain. He has assisted both neighbors and strangers alike with trees, debris, dirt paths, internet and supplies. The pictures, some shown above, are hard to see as he is dealing with mounds and mounds of destruction.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So many family members, friends, fans and fellow musicians have reached out from around the world and have asked how to help. We cannot say thank you enough. The first few days were especially tough while Billy tried to navigate his surroundings. With the help of Starlink, we have been able to at least have contact with him. We were all trying to gauge how best to help which is why it has taken until now to share more details. With the more remote area in which Billy lives closed off completely, we have been unable to reach him with physical supplies or deliveries.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With that said, we have ultimately decided that the goal is to keep the family together safely at home if at all possible. FEMA has told Billy it may be many, many months before power returns. Temporary roads may be built but it may be a year before anything permanent. With winter coming, access will remain very difficult. Billy has months of work ahead of him at home and Mary is hoping to continue working as a nurse locally to assist all the families that will need help after this tragedy. Schools are closed indefinitely. We feel it is so important not to separate anyone and, despite the challenges, we want to make living at home possible for them. This will require additional items such as a whole home generator ( to provide power to large items such as appliances and the well water pump), a wood stove to heat the house (as no electricity expected for months), fuel, tools and machinery to allow Billy to continue working both the home and the land. He has already missed tour dates in both the States and Europe and could be out of steady work for the foreseeable future while he works to rebuild their own home and continue to assist the surrounding community. Your support in this fundraiser will help with all of that and allow him time and resources to keep Mary, the kids and the dogs safely with him as well as easing a huge financial burden.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As his family, we thank you for your consideration. Every single dollar will go straight to Billy and his family. We know this story is not unlike so many others. We are praying for love and support for anyone affected by this storm. Give where you feel led, whether it be directly to a family like Billy's or to an organization that may be able to reach others in a similar situation. It will be years before this is behind everyone and assistance is needed now more than ever.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you again,
</div>

The Cardine Family- Billy, Mary, Bodie and Julian

<div>After her hospitalization in August for atrial fibrillation and his in mid-September for yet another infected diabetic wound, my parents, Charles and Susan Brewer, already faced an incredibly daunting autumn, here in the winter of their lives. With bad knees, she walks at snail's pace, and neuropathy has robbed him of all feeling in his feet and lower legs; he is unsteady and often dizzy. Still, though, he can't retire, and for months I've been his behind-the-scenes paralegal and sometime-chauffeur. It was already an unsustainable situation for me as a homeschooling and working mom living three-and-a-half hours east. Then, historic Hurricane Helene hobbled Western North Carolina, turning the green mountains mud brown. As the storm ravaged Asheville, it wreaked havoc inside the Brewer home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My parents' financial standing was already as precarious as their health. Now it's fallen on me, their eldest daughter, to navigate the road ahead. I humbly ask for help so that Patrick and I can help them without likewise falling into desperation. To weather this season and respond to the destruction of this storm we'll need to replace their breached roof and some rotted-out window treatments; replace the flood-ruined heating system and appliances; remediate mold; hire assistance for them both as their needs eclipse my ability to shoulder it all; and be nimble to respond to the unknown.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With humility and gratitude,
</div>
<div>Emily Brewer

Brewers Need Help (especially) after Helene

<div>Update:   It's with a heavy heart I have to report that my good friend Scottie succumb to Pancreatic and Liver cancer and passed away in Seattle in palliative care at 7:08 am on May 24, 2022.    He is survived by his daughter Lili, his son Gavin, and his wife Emily.   We are honored to have known such an incredible, funny and kind man.   Our hearts are broken, but our love for him is strong.   Our attention now is to help Emily and the kids get thru this.  It will be a long slow recovery for the family, but with your help they can heal and get thru it.<br /><br />Having cancer is not cheap, nor is it fun. And it's not supposed to happen to your close friend. Scott Barrow is our close friend and hockey teammate who has Pancreatic and Liver cancer. He found out in late August by accident and has been fighting for his life ever since. He is currently on a chemo plan to reduce the size of cancer in his Pancreas just to get the chance to operate and hopefully remove it. But there is no guarantee. If the first round of chemo treatments doesn't reduce the size enough to operate, he may have to go thru another round of chemo. Nothing in this battle is easy and nothing is certain, but Scott is a strong, positive guy with a big heart, and he can get through this. But Scott needs your help.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>We are raising money to help Scott and his family pay medical and travel expenses during a time when someone shouldn't have to worry about money. Scott has a long and painful journey ahead of him with chemo and surgery, and this is just the first step. There will be many ups and downs along the way. Some days will be bad, some days just okay, but with your support, all days are filled with hope. The truth is no one should have to wake up each day knowing they are fighting for their life. It breaks our hearts to see him go thru this, that's why we are reaching out to our friends and family for help.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>The need is real, and the time is now, so I hope you will help make life a little easier for Scott and his family. It takes a village, and every dollar counts. Thank you for your generosity. Scott's life will be much better for it.<br /><br /><strong>Watch the Spectrum News video story on Scottie:</strong><br /><a href="http://specne.ws/pRjwAq"><a href="http://specne.ws/pRjwAq" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://specne.ws/pRjwAq</a></a><br /><br />

<div><br />This is the patch we had custom-made to support our friend. Scott is number #8 on our hockey team and he's known for his big black-framed glasses.

In the wake of the Covid 19 outbreak and Governor Cooper's ban on large gatherings in NC, Neighborhood Theatre is facing the most difficult period in its 24 year history.  With your support during those years, we've survived as the largest independent music venue in Charlotte and a cornerstone of the NoDa neighborhood.   We've been fortunate to present the best in local talent, along with many of your favorite national touring acts. <strong>The Avett Brothers</strong>, <strong>Lake Street Dive</strong>, <strong>Tyler Childers</strong>, <strong>The Black Crowes</strong>, <strong>Michael Franti, Jeff Mangum, JJ Grey &amp; mofro, johnnyswim, Dinosaur Jr., Shakey Graves, Joan Baez, Robert Earl Keen</strong> are just a few of the acts we have been honored to host!<br /><br />If you value independent music and want to help keep it alive in Charlotte, please consider a small donation to help the Neighborhood<br />Theatre weather the storm until we can open the doors for concerts<br />again. Even though we have no revenue at the moment, our monthly<br />expenses, like rent and utilities, continue to mount! If we can't keep<br />up, not only will you be unable to see great concerts here but we<br />won't be able to put all of our staff back to work when we feel it's<br />safe to open our doors again.<br /><br />If you're able to donate $50 or more, we would love to give you a<br />choice of our Neighborhood Theatre T-shirts to say thanks!<br /><br />With your support, we look forward to a big 25th Anniversary Party next year!<br /><br />Thanks,<br />The Neighborhood Theatre Family
