<div>Hi, my name is Alana and I am trying to raise $5,500 so I can get the immediate intensive mental health care that I need.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Long story-short, I am not okay. I know something like mental health care may not seem worthy of a GoFundMe like a surgery or a funeral fundraiser would (especially when it's someone you usually see smiling), but I beg that even if you can't help, that this at least disproves that notion for you...
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here's a brief analogy to explain my situation... Imagine two years ago I realized that I have a leg injury, so I go to the doctor. I say "Hey my leg hurts, and it's been affecting my ability to walk and do daily tasks." Then instead of examining the injury to determine what treatment is <em>actually</em> needed, I am just handed different side effect heavy OTC pain meds. In the following months, I am taken on and off of 7 different medications, without anyone knowing what they are even treating. So now, after two years of negligent treatment, and being forced to walk on an unhealed leg, the injury has gotten worse. At this point, I feel like I can barely stand, let alone walk. It's affected my ability to work, go to school, take care of myself, leave my house... And so now, instead of just needing some ice and a cast (which may have fixed the problem two years ago), I need emergency surgery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have been living in Nashville, TN for school for most of the last year, and have been struggling to find any sort of affordable and qualified help. My medical coverage offers very limited mental health support, so I have to pay out-of-pocket for health services here (most psych places don't accept insurance anyways). I spent the entire last semester just trying to get a mental health evaluation, but those tests alone cost upwards of $1200.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I FINALLY found a perfect program (that I honestly think could change the entire trajectory of my life) and they...
</div>
<ul>
<li>are offering me an opening for immediate admission
</li>
<li>offer financial aid and scholarships (that could end up covering 70% of the total cost)
</li>
<li>have a perfect intensive program curated to address my specific needs and goals
</li>
</ul>
<div>BUT...
</div>
<ul>
<li>They require a <strong>$5,500</strong> deposit paid by the first day of admittance
</li>
</ul>
<div>So the only thing keeping me from <em>starting</em> my journey of recovery is this one freaking deposit. Like imagine <em>you</em> had that leg injury and $5,500 was the only thing keeping you from getting surgery and being able to walk again... I've decided I have come too far and too long of trying to find myself the right help, to let a mere number keep me from finally <em>living </em>my life...
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So please, as much as it pains me to ask (especially in such a public manner), <em>any</em> sort of contribution would bring me a step closer to my goal. Whether it's $5, or sharing/reposting this link, I will forever be grateful. All we need is 100 people to donate $55, and we'll do it! And i'll be able to walk again soon&lt;3

<div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;white-space:pre-wrap;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);">Hi, many of you know me as Lady Ruby. I have been falsely accused of ballot fraud. My life has been a wreck for the last year. I have lost so much. I've had several death threats, terroristic threats, people coming to my home, I no longer feel safe living here. I'm sure you have heard the news. It has been a horrible experience. All I wanted to do was support the county that I worked for for over 20 years. I just need a new beginning and a fresh start. God plus one is a majority and that one is you. Any support you offer here will help cover my short-term financial needs. Thank you so much.</span><br />

New beginnings

One of New York's most beloved theatrical institutions, and a vital home base for inclusive programming and diverse voices, is in danger of becoming another casualty of the pandemic. LAByrinth Theater Company needs your help!<br /><br />Chances are if you've had anything to do with New York theater in the last 30 years, you know LAB. Maybe you waited in a line that stretched around the block to see JESUS HOPPED THE A TRAIN twenty years ago, or called in a favor to try and snag a ticket to their recent co-production with Atlantic Theater Company of HALFWAY BITCHES GO STRAIGHT TO HEAVEN (both by LAByrinth member and Pulitzer winner Stephen Adly Guirgis).  Maybe you associate the company with Philip Seymour Hoffman, where he began his directing career and was co-Artistic Director. Whatever your association with the company, LAByrinth has been an influential force off-Broadway for nearly three decades. <br /><br /> LAB has also been at the forefront of fighting to make Off-Broadway more diverse since the company's inception. Founded as the Latino Actors Base, LAB represents stories that aren’t represented on other stages.  That representation is at risk of disappearing if we don’t step in to help LAByrinth today.<br /><br /> LAByrinth was two weeks into rehearsal last March for their world premiere production of Guadalís Del Carmen’s BEES AND HONEY, when Corona forced them to shut down.  Design plans were halted.  Actors were sent home, unsure of when they’d return to rehearsal, or when they’d work again.  BEES AND HONEY is an intimate tale of a young Dominican couple living in Washington Heights.  We need stories like these now more than ever, which is why we need LAByrinth! <br /><br /> The financial impact of the shutdown was felt immediately by LAB. They had spent $30,000 on the show, and overnight, their $50,000 in projected ticket sales evaporated.  As a small non-profit that lives on the edge and relies on ticket sales, these were staggering losses.  <br /><br /> Me, Michael, and Tim are asking our fabulous community to join us once again to save a venerable NYC arts organization by donating and/or sharing this campaign far and wide. <br /><br /> LAByrinth has been a fixture on the New York theater scene for decades. Your support today is vital in their efforts to continue their work, while providing a home for their 115 member-artists, their larger theater community, and their devoted audiences. Theater is coming back!  Let’s make sure LAB comes back with it. New York theater wouldn’t be the same without them.

Weed Patch Music Company is just one of the small, locally-owned shops in Brown County, Indiana.  Our small tourist town has been hit hard over the past month by Covid-19 and we are all doing the best we can to keep this little oasis in Indiana the unique destination that it has always been.<br /><br />Here at Weed Patch, we miss seeing all of our regular visitors.  We miss inspiring and creating new musicians and talking for hours with seasoned musicians.  We miss sitting down with you and teaching you to play banjo.  We miss helping you find that one-of-a-kind locally built guitar.  We miss creating families of new ukulele players.  We miss the nose-flute bands, kazoo orchestras, and slide whistle serenades.  <strong>We want to still be here when all of this is over and we can re-open our doors to your friendly faces.<br /><br /></strong>We are asking for donations to help our store pay rent, utilities, insurance, accounting fees, and contribute to lost wages during these uncertain times.  It takes an absurd amount of money to run a small business, and unfortunately many small businesses fall through the cracks when it comes to government assistance.  Thanks to the generosity of GoFundMe, Yelp, and Intuit Quickbooks, we are able to receive a matching $500 grant if we are able to raise $500 through this campaign. <strong>Your support will make it possible for our shop to re-open and remain your favorite little music store for years to come! <br /><br /></strong><strong>From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your support!</strong>  Keep pickin', strumming, and singin' and we'll see you all again soon!<br /><br /><strong>#SmallBusinessRelief</strong><br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/47443156_158705588560247_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="47443156_158705588560247_r.jpeg" /><a href="http://www.weedpatchmusicshop.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Click here for more information on our shop</a>
