<div>Izyk suffered a stroke on August 26, 2026. He was hospitalized for four days and is now facing life-altering speech and mobility issues. His right side is impaired, especially his hand and foot; he has trouble speaking clearly, and he cannot drive at this point. Because he lives alone, these sudden changes have made daily life much harder while he begins rehabilitation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Izyk works as a security officer at a hotel here in San Antonio, where he moved in 2022 to live near his son. He adores his three cats, Beans, Cody, and Tora. But beyond a few friendly coworker relationships, he doesn't have a built-in support system here. His family is back in California, and recovery from something like this usually depends heavily on people nearby who can drive you to appointments, check in on you, and help you re-adapt to daily life. Izyk doesn't have that safety net, so a lot of what family or friends would normally handle now has to be covered by paid help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Right now, he is still working through follow-up appointments and specialist referrals to determine his ongoing treatment with his neurosurgeon, speech therapist, and physical therapist. Because he is uninsured and his Medicaid application is still pending, all of this is currently out of pocket. For this first phase, donations will help cover his immediate, known expenses over the next two to three months, including basic living costs, transportation to appointments, medical and therapy costs, and home safety and mobility equipment. These costs continue whether or not he can work.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because his care plan is still being finalized, this fundraiser focuses on helping him stay afloat now while next steps become clearer. Recurring donations provide especially steady support as these needs continue through rehabilitation. One-time donations are also deeply appreciated and will make a real difference.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you can help, please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser today. Every contribution helps Izyk focus on healing instead of worrying about keeping a roof over his head, and every bit brings him closer to steady ground.

<div>The community has taken an extremely hard hit losing our dear friend Monica Robles. We are asking friends to please come together and help raise money for her end of life expenses. Monica is survived by her beautiful son Adrian and all money will go to him to help pay for funeral costs and any debts she may have left behind as well as to help him cover his own expenses while he navigates such a tragic loss. There is a memorial as well as a benefit that will be announced with details soon. For now, the best way to help would be donations and resharing posts to help spread the word. Thank you all so much for the love and support so far. We love you forever Monica.

<div>Hello everyone,
</div>
<div>Many of you may remember the Feliki Kittens that we found outside and fostered in 2020. They were our pandemic kittens and they really were a bright light in such a dark time.
</div>
<div>So many of my IG community came to fall in love with these precious kittens, as I did too!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Norman and Salem were adopted together by the most lovely couple in San Diego. They drove all the way up to the San Fernando Valley to adopt them without even meeting them first. My heart was so happy that they stayed together and that they were going to such a lovely home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>However, recently Norman's health suddenly and quickly declined. Norman's Mom, Carolyn, reached out to me with the devastating news that their vet thought Norman could possibly be diabetic. He was lethargic and had lost two pounds very quickly. He started vomiting and could barely walk, something was seriously wrong.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Carolyn and Steven rushed Norman to the Emergency Pet hospital, where Norman received life saving treatment. He was hospitalized for many days until he was stable. Even though Norman is only 4 years old, he was diagnosed with Diabetes and was already in a diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), which would have lead to death if Carolyn and Steven had not taken immediate action.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Many of us consider our pets our family and no-one should have to navigate this journey alone. Financially this has been so devastating to a couple that I know and love and I want to help them in any way I can. By supporting this gofund me, you will be helping alleviate some of the financial burden and stress of Norman's recent hospital visit, which cost them over $10k.
</div>
<div>By donating to Carolyn and Steven, this will help them focus on getting Norman back on his feet, as his diagnosis requires a lot of change in their lives. Norman now requires insulin monitoring, special diet, and injections after meals.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If we can help this amazing couple it would mean the world to me. They love Norman and Salem so much and have been hands down one of the best adopters we have ever had.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Carolyn puts it into her own words here:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“It’s been such an emotional rollercoaster these past couple of weeks. When we found out Norman was diabetic, we were shocked and trying to grasp how to adjust to giving him insulin twice a day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Before we could even start him on the insulin, Norman suddenly took a turn for the worst. When he started throwing up, not eating, and being lethargic, I hurried him to the emergency. I’m glad I did because it could have been much worse for him. We found out that he was in a diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) state while also struggling with pancreatitis.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Norman was hospitalized immediately on October 30. I’m sure many of you already know this but emergency pet care and hospitalization is extremely expensive. When I was presented with the estimate, my stomach dropped. I was unsure what to do at first, but then realized that Norman is only 4 years old and could possibly live a longer life if I could just get him the medical help he so needed. He means the world to us and I couldn’t just give up on him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Norman was finally discharged the evening of November 3. He was in the hospital for 4 nights/5 days and he came home with lots of medications, home care, and a large medical bill. We’re extremely happy to have him home and we’re also feeling so overwhelmed (emotionally and financially). There are 4 different medications along with his insulin that we need to administer. Not to mention monitoring his blood sugar, hydration, food intake, and weight.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This will be a long journey for us and I know the vet costs will not stop here. For those who have asked and for those who would love to help with some of the expenses for Norman’s recovery… we greatly appreciate it. Anything helps to continue giving Norman the care he needs and to help him recover. Please continue with all your thoughts, prayers, love, and support during this difficult time.”
