<div>Well….It’s come to this. I had to swallow my pride and set aside my ego to reach out for help from outside. If you know me at all, you would know how much I hate this stuff.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I was laid off over two years ago and haven’t been able to find steady work to recover. I had a temp role for six months in 2025 that barely sustained me, and recently, a two-month stint somewhere catastrophically toxic. My resources are drained, and it’s not only depleted my bank account but also my self-esteem. I have fallen pretty far behind on rent and utilities, robbing Peter to pay Paul regarding who gets what little scraps I had been able to put together. It seems, at the moment, I am also out of scraps. I have emotional support in my partner, but there is a certain level of low you feel when you can’t obtain anything for yourself or keep your head above water.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The funds raised here will help cover rent, utilities, cost of living, and taking care of my dog. This support will help me get out of the hole with rent, pay off utilities, and sustain myself while I continue searching for work. My resume is good. I get interviews and positive feedback.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I often hear:
</div>
<div>”What great question!”
</div>
<div>“You have such Passion!”
</div>
<div>“I’ve never thought of it that way!”
</div>
<div>“That (insert skill and/or experience here) is very impressive”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But I rarely make it past the second round or get ghosted.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m trying to keep going without taking it personally, but I’ve never felt more defeated. I’m also dealing with health issues—both mental and physical—that make daily life stressful and frustrating. Balancing executive function challenges, medication trial and error, and clinical sleep problems has left me with little social energy. If you feel ignored, I’m sorry; I just need a minute. I’ve exhausted nearly every city-based resource except food stamps, and SSDI doesn’t consider me disabled. I’ve truly tried everything to catch up while I look for work.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No matter what you choose to do, I thank you for your efforts and patience with me while I stay in hibernation mode until things get better! ❤️‍

<div>As you may or may not know, <strong>Lloyd Bailey just had surgery for a brain tumor</strong>. He’s recovering and will need time to get back on his feet. <strong>This request is neither mandatory nor expected</strong>. Lloyd works hard for us, and I believe it would be the right thing for us to do to show that we care for him. If you can, please contribute what you can.

For Lloyd as He Heals

<div>As many of you know, our beautiful city of Asheville has been devastated by Hurricane Helene. Ashley and I are very fortunate to still have a home, but there are so many who don’t.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are having to ask for help for the weeks to come. We are without power, water, internet, and cell service is spotty. My job in the restaurant industry is closed indefinitely, and Ashley was to start training for a new job this week, but without power or internet, that is postponed with no definite start date.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>We are asking for help to cover household expenses and the continued need for food and supplies.</strong> Any help is hugely appreciated, and we will pay it forward when we are able.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Many Thanks,

Support for Michael and Ashley After Hurricane Helene

<div>Hello, I am Cassie Brooks, and together with Katie Jones, we are embarking on a project to create an affirming children's book that supports the trans and LGBTQ+ community. This book aims to spotlight the challenges faced by these children in finding acceptance in every space they reside. We are seeking funds to bring this vital project to life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our fundraising goal is to secure $5000.00 to cover the costs associated with writing, illustrating, publishing, and distributing the children's book.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The children's book will focus on promoting understanding, empathy, and acceptance of the trans and LGBTQ+ community among young readers. It will address the unique challenges these children face in various environments, fostering a sense of inclusivity and compassion.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our primary audience includes parents, educators, and supporters of LGBTQ+ rights. By targeting this audience, we aim to create a ripple effect of understanding and acceptance among the younger generation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We plan to leverage online crowdfunding platforms, host virtual events, and collaborate with LGBTQ+ organizations to reach a wider audience. Additionally, we will explore partnerships with businesses and individuals who share our commitment to inclusivity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Budget Breakdown:
</div>
<div>Writing and Editing
</div>
<div>Illustrations and Design
</div>
<div>Publishing and Printing
</div>
<div>Marketing and Promotion
</div>
<div>Distribution
</div>
<div>Contingency
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our timeline to see this through will partially depend on the support we find for this project to cover various costs throughout the completion of this children's story. It is our hope to have it ready sometime in May in order to launch it just before Pride month.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our marketing strategy includes social media campaigns and collaborations with influencers and organizations within the LGBTQ+ community. We will also create engaging content that highlights the importance of the project.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The successful completion of this project will result in a children's book that promotes acceptance and understanding, fostering a more inclusive environment for young readers. The long-term impact includes contributing to a society that embraces diversity and celebrates the uniqueness of every individual.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support is needed, and we are seeking financial support to cover the production costs of the children's book. Additionally, we welcome collaboration, promotional assistance, and any connections that can help us amplify our message.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are passionate about creating a positive impact through storytelling. Your support will play a crucial role in bringing this affirming children's book to life, contributing to a more inclusive and accepting world for the trans and LGBTQ+ community. Thank you for considering our project.

My True Colors children's book fundraising collab

<div>Hi, My name is Jamie Emerson and I am creating this fundraiser to help Matthew Florey continue his fight to survive a stage 4 diagnoses he recently received. Matt works hard to provide for his family but with his sudden illness he hasn't been able to work. matt is the sole provider for his wife and their teenage autistic son. Over the past several weeks Matt has spent more time in the hospital than at home with his family and was given a life expectancy of a few months to a few years. The cancer that they found is called Angiosarcoma and the doctors have told him that it is very aggressive. My hope for creating this fundraiser for Matt is to lesson the financial burden that he's now faced with and to help his family during this very difficult time. No donation is to small, every donation helps, and every single one will be more than appreciated for this family. Thank you and please share.share.share.

Matthew Florey's fight to survive

<div>Dr Andy Breeze is a father of 3 young children (3-year-old twins and a 7-year-old), who works as a medical doctor with the Kaduna State Ministry of Health in Nigeria, where he works tirelessly serving patients under his care. Andy is an extremely kind and generous soul, and such is his heart for people that, he regularly leads medical outreach missions to rural under-served communities right across Nigeria, including in Northern Nigeria, despite the well-known security risks in that part of the country.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Andy was sadly diagnosed with resistant hypertension about 8 months ago following hospitalisation with a severe hypertensive crisis. Despite best efforts by his doctors to control his blood pressure, his condition progressed to hypertensive kidney disease. He was formally diagnosed with end-stage kidney disease 3 months ago and started twice-weekly haemodialysis in June 2023. Given the unreliable access to renal dialysis services in Nigeria, the long-term costs and complications of haemodialysis and its impact on daily life, Andy requires an urgent kidney transplant to save his life and help him regain his quality of life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“Andy Breeze”, as his friends call him, is an absolute gentleman who loves to serve people. As a medical student at the University of Nigeria, Andy helped many of his peers and junior colleagues get through the many gruelling medical school examinations and consistently gave of himself to serve his colleagues. Andy now needs our help to raise 30M naira (approximately £30,000) for a kidney transplant. This would cover the cost of the transplant surgery and necessary aftercare until he can return to full employment. Unfortunately, Andy is unable to afford this hefty medical bill, and as the breadwinner in his household, his family’s livelihood is now at risk as a result of this illness. Would you please consider giving to help Andy obtain this life-saving surgery? Thank you for your generosity!

Honoring Andy’s Memory and Supporting His Family

<div>In the early morning of Friday, July 29th, <em>Jim’s South St.</em> experienced a devastating fire. Sensing something was not quite right, the first shift staff saw smoke seeping from somewhere at the back of the building. Without hesitation, the crew immediately cut the power, exited the building, and called 911. Everyone was safe, physically unharmed, but emotionally overwhelmed as they helplessly watched their home away from home, and their livelihood, burn.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div>The quick response of <em>Jim’s</em> crew enabled the Philadelphia Fire Department to be on the scene in a matter of minutes, descending with more than 100 responders on hand. Battling fire, heat and dehydration, the most experienced fire department in the country was able to get things under control and kept the fire from spreading to adjacent buildings. It took over five hours. In the end, our century-old building stood firm, but <em>Jim's</em> was gutted.

<p>Hello! As many people may know but many may not, Clark loved disc golf. Like a lot. So much so that Last year he bought an old ambulance and had plans to convert it to a camper so he could follow the disc golf tournaments around the country this year when COVID cleared. He played for at least 30 years and was really quite good despite his near constant bitching on the course. 
</p>
<p>so to honor him and his love of the game we (Zaine and Ian Blue) are having a memorial bench installed at his favorite course in Austin. It will be at mary Moore park, near hole 17 tucked behind a tree facing a field of seasonal wild flower and the setting sun. We spent hours hassling the parks department to get a super amazing spot that is off the trail but still close to the course but with a scenic view, it is a really nice contemplative space. For the price of $2400 the bench comes with everything including installation and lifetime maintenance. Please give what you can, any amount helps and all can enjoy the bench theoretically as long as austin has a parks department. Thank you!
