<div>Hi everyone,
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>Let me share a little about my passion for tennis. My name is Vera Pantovic, a 11-year-old striving to reach the pinnacle of this sport. Currently, I am ranked number 1 in Alabama and within the top 15 players nationally for my age. Winning the US Open is my ultimate dream, but to get there, I need your help!
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>Tennis isn’t just about the game; it’s a commitment, and unfortunately, it comes with hefty costs. My family, although middle class, sacrifices a lot so I can compete. My dad coaches me, drawing from his own experiences as an immigrant from Yugoslavia, and my mom is the backbone of my education and emotional support. We’ve traveled across the globe, competing in prestigious tournaments, yet the financial burden remains challenging.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>This GoFundMe campaign is my way of asking for assistance in alleviating some of that stress on my family. Whether you can contribute $5 or $500, every dollar helps propel me toward my dreams. And to all potential sponsors out there, I’d love to showcase your business on my journey!
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>Together, we can make my dream a reality. Thank you for considering supporting my tennis journey!
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>Warmly,
</div>
<div>Vera Pantovic

<div>Hi. My name is Ivana and here’s a picture of my brother, Mirko, with his youngest student - his niece. Mirko is a tennis coach. In fact, ever since he was a kid, he loved tennis; our dad would lug a net everywhere with him so that he and Mirko could unfurl it on any playground and play whenever they felt like it – which was day and night!
</div>
<div>Eventually, Mirko became an excellent tennis player and then a coach. He loves teaching his students – be they kids or retirees, beginners or future pros – and they love him in turn! There aren’t enough hours in the day for Mirko to say "yes" to everyone’s requests, because, as one of them said, “My lesson with Mirko is the hour in my week I look forward to the most. Whatever problems I’m dealing with, I always feel better after our lesson.”
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, it’s Mirko now who has a major problem. He was assaulted two weeks ago in Walnut Creek, resulting in a life-threatening situation, including traumatic brain injury (TBI), lung damage and neurological problems among other things. Mirko's recovery will take months of rehab and care-giving, and it is uncertain when he can return to work. Mirko's primary family support lives abroad. Please help make a difference in Mirko's recovery so he can get back to the thing he loves most – the tennis court. Your contribution will be used exclusively for his treatment and expenses. We appreciate you!

Help Mirko get back on his feet

Brandi Day, our friend and colleague at Jason Will Real Estate in Fairhope, AL  is used to being the caretaker, the nurturer, the glue that holds everyone around her together. Her strength and determination is obvious to everyone she knows.  Just a few weeks before Christmas, Brandi was given the diagnosis we all fear, cancer. The roles have changed a bit and Brandi now needs the strength and support of those around her. (Needless to say, she is not too happy about that!) Brandi's form of cancer is Papillary Carcinoma and it has metastasized to her lymph nodes.  Surgery to remove the cancer is scheduled for just a few days after Christmas. This is a complicated surgery and will require a month or more of recuperation time. The outcome of the surgery will also dictate the next course of treatment...there is a-lot of uncertainty at this early stage.  This former Marine Corps spouse knows how to overcome challenges, but she also know she cannot do it alone.  At this difficult time, Brandi and her three children ages 10, 8 and 2 need the love and support of the community around them. Brandi's treatment is an unexpected financial burden and it is for this reason this Go-Fund-Me was created. All money raised through this effort will go directly to the cost of Brandi's care. If you have any questions about the use of your contribution to Brandi's care and her family family, feel free to reach out to me with your questions.   Updates on our fundraising endeavor and the progress of Brandi's recovery will be shared as often as possible. Help us reach our initial goal of $5,000 so we can begin assisting them right away! Thank you for your kindness and generosity.

On Monday, March 20th my brother-in-law Oliver Stephens was diagnosed with a very rare cancer called Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH). So far, this cancer, which will be in his blood forever, has presented itself in his Spleen, Digestive Tract and his Bone Marrow, which explains his fast weight loss. At the time of writing, he is hospitalized getting many tests done and also he will be receiving his first round of chemo of which he has to have for 5 days every month for one year.   Ollie is a 41 year old tennis coach specializing in Youth Development. He is having to drastically reduce his workload and also, the medical bills have started to arrive in earnest!  We would truly appreciate your donations to help Ollie and Milena with their medical expenses and to help them while Ollie is not working much.  No donation is too small.  THANK YOU!

Ollie's Medical Fund

Jerome Golmard the former Davis Cup tennis player from France and former no 22 ATP singles has been diagnosed with the Lou Gehrig's disease (ASL) in January 2014. (lire en FranÃ§ais en bas de page) Since the 14th of January the disease has developed rapidly affecting the lower limbs (this is the same disease that Brad Drewett, the former deceased CEO of the ATP contracted). Since the diagnostic (14th of January) Jerome has lost the use of both of his legs. He is now on a wheel chair. The French traditional Medicine world has condemned him. Possible Cause of the disease: Jerome identified the source of the disease and the first symptoms which started shortly after undergoing 3 teeth removal in September 2013. This dental surgery seems to have been the trigger of the disease and made him start to experience issues affecting the use of his left leg. Hope? Possible therapies: Because traditional medicine can't help him, Jerome has started to look into other ways and is under various therapies and treatments at present. One of the focus for Jerome is to reduce the infection caused by 14 infectious areas all located in is jaw, beneath his teeth and within the bone of his jaw. This seems to be at the source which triggered the disease. One surgery was performed but Jerome will need to go through 3 more surgeries to stop the infection to spread in his body. Other treatments and therapies will be then started. So even if slim, there is a chance and Jerome is fighting hard to find a solution in possibly new therapies. With his family: Jerome is at present resting in Dijon (France) within the close vicinity of his family. He has 2 young boys of ages 11 and 12 who are living in the South of France located about 3 to 4 hours away from Dijon. Seeing his children is now getting more challenging since he has now limited movement possibility. What are the ways to Help Jerome: 1. Finding more information and possible treatments solutions among our networks. 2. Communicate and send him support messages to tell him that the tennis community is behind him. 3. Provide a financial support to cover the costs of his surgeries, medical bills from an alternative parallel medicine. Therapy and Surgery Not Reimbursed by the Insurances: This funding campaign "Support Jerome with a donation" initiative comes from his very close players friends and tennis family. Jerome has never asked us to raise money for him but he did ask us to find possible therapies and treatments. We are his friends and even if Jerome made some substantial money in his years as a player, we all want to make sure that because of the high costs of surgeries and therapies undertaken which are not reimbursed by any insurance, that he gets all the necessary funding right from the star without needing to worry at any point. We want him to stay totally and fully focused on beating the disease. All his close friends in the tennis family are already contributing to this effort and together if we donate what we can, we can provide the necessary funding which could help Jerome win his fight. Fight against ALS: Jerome insists that the funds received will go in trying out nontraditional parallel therapies hoping to find solutions to this disease with the hope that these treatments will help others in the future. Jerome also intends to use his high profile image to raise awareness about the subject and to provide some funding to fuel the research efforts about this terrible disease. <div>In his fight against ALS, Jerome sais that he will distribute a substantial amount of the donations to various research organizations such and including the <a href="http://www.arsla-asso.com/sla-sclerose-laterale-amyotrophique-fr/a-la-une.html">ARSLA</a> organization. We all need to react quickly if we want to help Jerome. Speed is a key here. Don't be shy to inform to the people of your network who would want to help Jerome's cause? Tomorrow could well be too late. So please act now. Support from large organizations: The ATP, the WTA, the ITF, the French Tennis Federation, The Club France Davis Cup former Davis Cup players association: These above are the first organizations which already communicated their intent to help Jerome. But many others are joining the movement to help. Message of Support: Jerome will appreciate any short "We know that you are sick but wish that you'll get better soon" kind of message. Because in this situation after beating the best players in the world, Jerome needs to keep on fighting and he needs the support of his friends, of his tennis family. Explanation on the goal amount set on this website:  We wanted to clarify that the amount which we selected as a donation goal on this website is not related to any therapy or treatment that Jerome is undergoing and absolutely not linked to any quote regarding one specific treatment. This website requires a goal to set which we set, but we could have chosen a higher or a lower amount. Once again let us say that the donations will be used as an immediate source of support (medicines, therapies, disability aids and accessories:) for Jerome to help him in his fight against the disease in addition to his intention to contribute to fund the research efforts and to raise awareness on this disease. Let's provide him the funding that he needs to get the right therapy and to fuel his fight against ALS. Let's show him our love and support and let's accompany him in possibly emerging as a winner once more. (All texts and donations requests were written spontaneously by Jerome's very close tennis player's friends, with Jerome's family approval and are managed by his support committee.)

La maladie a Ã©tÃ© diagnostiquÃ©e le 14 janvier. (Il s'agit de la mÃªme maladie qui a touchÃ© le dÃ©funt CEO de l'ATP Brad Drewett dÃ©cÃ©dÃ© l'annÃ©e derniÃ¨re).  Depuis le 14 janvier la maladie s'est rapidement propagÃ©e sur le bas du corps de JÃ©rÃ´me qui a perdu 8 kilos et qui a perdu l'usage de ses jambes. JÃ©rÃ´me se retrouve dÃ©pendant dans un fauteuil roulant. La mÃ©decine traditionnelle est impuissante contre cette maladie. Cause Potentielle : Les premiers symptÃ´mes se sont dÃ©clarÃ©s Ã  la suite de l'arrachement de dents de sagesses qui semble avoir une relation avec le dÃ©but des symptÃ´mes. La maladie s'est ensuite propagÃ©e Ã  grande vitesse. Possible Espoir : Comme la mÃ©decine traditionnelle n'offre aucune solution, JÃ©rÃ´me s'est orientÃ© vers des thÃ©rapies parallÃ¨les. Un premier effort se porte sur la rÃ©duction d'une infection gÃ©nÃ©ralisÃ©e ayant pour source 14 foyers infectieux situÃ©s dans l'os de sa mÃ¢choire afin de stopper la prolifÃ©ration de l'infection dans le corps de JÃ©rÃ´me. 4 opÃ©rations chirurgicales seront nÃ©cessaires pour solutionner ce premier problÃ¨me. Support des organisations : Beaucoup d'organisations ont dÃ©jÃ  manifestÃ© leur soutien spontanÃ© comme l'ATP, la WTA, l'ITF, la FÃ©dÃ©ration FranÃ§aise de Tennis et l'association des anciens joueurs de Coupe Davis Francais (Club France Coupe Davis). Ces organisations sont en train de s'organiser afin d'apporter leur aide et moyens de communication pour soutenir JÃ©rÃ´me. Comment peut-on aider JÃ©rÃ´me ? : 1. Lui faire suivre toute information concernant de possibles thÃ©rapies/protocoles/recherches expÃ©rimentales qui sont mises en place dans le monde. 2. Communiquer notre support et amitiÃ© afin qu'il se sente Ã©paulÃ© et continue Ã  se battre comme il le fait actuellement. 3. Lui apporter notre soutien financier afin de l'aider pour faire face aux couts des opÃ©rations et suivi mÃ©dical non remboursÃ©s par la sÃ©curitÃ© sociale FranÃ§aise (mÃ©decine alternative paramÃ©dicale). Des Operations et ThÃ©rapies non remboursÃ©es par les assurances: Cette campagne de soutien et plateforme de donation est Ã  l'initiative de ses trÃ¨s proches amis joueurs et famille du tennis. JÃ©rÃ´me n'a jamais demandÃ© de recevoir de donations. Mais comme les opÃ©rations et thÃ©rapies parallÃ¨les que JÃ©rÃ´me est en train de suivre ne sont pas remboursÃ©es, nous cherchons Ã  mettre en place dÃ¨s le dÃ©but une manne financiÃ¨re suffisante afin que les fonds ne viennent pas Ã  manquer Ã  un moment ou les couts des opÃ©rations et thÃ©rapies nÃ©cessaires atteindront des montants qu'il ne pourra plus financer seul malgrÃ© tout l'argent qu'il a gagnÃ© dans sa carriÃ¨re de joueur. Il nous a donc paru important en tant que ses amis proches du tennis de mettre en place cette plateforme de soutien et de dons spontanÃ©e qui contribuera Ã  l'aider au moment opportun. JÃ©rÃ´me et sa lutte face Ã  la maladie SLA: JÃ©rÃ´me, insiste sur le fait que ce soutien et ces gÃ©nÃ©reuses donations seront utilisÃ©es pour essayer des mÃ©dicaments et thÃ©rapies parallÃ¨les avec l'espoir de trouver les solutions dont pourront bÃ©nÃ©ficier ensuite toutes les autres victimes de cette maladie. Il souhaite Ã©galement utiliser son image et son aura mÃ©diatique pour mieux faire connaitre cette maladie pas trÃ¨s connue mais aussi pour apporter sa contribution Ã  la recherche par le bais de donations qu'il fera vers des associations et plus prÃ©cisÃ©ment vers <a href="http://www.arsla-asso.com/sla-sclerose-laterale-amyotrophique-fr/a-la-une.html">l'ARSLA</a>. JÃ©rÃ´me et sa famille : JÃ©rÃ´me, est devenu dÃ©pendant et il habite depuis peu Ã  Dijon dans son environnement familial. JÃ©rÃ´me a deux jeunes garÃ§ons (11 et 12 ans) scolarisÃ©s dans le sud qui montent lui rendre visite les weekends. Messages de soutien : Tous vos petits mots (emails ou textes) d'encouragement et de soutien seront grandement apprÃ©ciÃ©s par JÃ©rÃ´me qui les lira avec plaisir mais excusons le d'avance sur le fait qu'il ne pourra pas rÃ©pondre individuellement Ã  chaque message car il doit se reposer aprÃ¨s ses opÃ©rations rÃ©centes. Explication sur le montant de l'objectif fixÃ© : Le montant total indiquÃ© sur ce site de donation n'est en aucun cas liÃ© directement Ã  un traitement ou Ã  un autre et en aucun cas liÃ© Ã  un devis de soin prÃ©cis. Ce site de don oblige Ã  fixer un objectif de montant financier Ã  atteindre et nous aurions pu mettre un objectif financier supÃ©rieur ou infÃ©rieur. Encore une fois cet objectif n'est en aucun cas liÃ© Ã  un devis prÃ©cis mais est plutÃ´t une enveloppe de soutien (soins, mÃ©dicaments, rÃ©adaptation et appareillage:) pour JÃ©rÃ´me afin de l'aider dans son combat contre la maladie qui lui permettra de pouvoir envisager a de nouveaux traitements trÃ¨s onÃ©reux, sans oublier son dÃ©sir de donner des fonds pour la recherche et pour mieux faire connaitre cette maladie. Merci pour votre solidaritÃ© et soutien moral et/ou financier Ã  l'Ã©gard de JÃ©rÃ´me et de son combat contre la maladie de Charcot. Coordonnons nos efforts! C'est tous ensemble que nous lui apporterons le meilleur soutien. (Tous les textes et demandes de donations sur gofundme.com ont Ã©tÃ© faits par des amis joueurs trÃ¨s proches de JÃ©rÃ´me avec l'accord de sa famille et sont gÃ©rÃ©s par son comitÃ© de soutien) Check the Youtube TV matches from Jerome.  <a href="http://youtu.be/RZsWmOf_ccQ">Monte Carlo - Golmard vs Moya </a> <a href="http://youtu.be/3LY_JJtDDxg">Paris Bercy - Golmard vs Sampras</a> <a href="http://youtu.be/ePaoKVyFLz0">Australian Open - Golmard vs Agassi </a> <img class="not-resizeable" src="http://3b4efb995be6c5c64252-c03f075f8191fb4e60e74b907071aee8.r12.cf1.rackcdn.com/1210530_1396734820.2671_multi.jpeg" alt="" width="100%" /></div>
