 Hey all,
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 For those of you who haven’t met Julia - we joined Stream together as its first recruiters, and she has been part of Stream’s recruitment team for almost six years, until recently.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 We’ve just found out that Julia is starting a difficult journey of fighting cancer. As an expat mum with no family support here, and currently unemployed, this means she is facing some additional challenges and needs support.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Our team has started this fundraiser to help support her with childcare, food, and any other needs while she focuses on kicking cancer’s butt.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Any help would be greatly appreciated, and of course, contributing is absolutely voluntary.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Thank you!
</div>

 Hi, I'm Cemini! I've been accepted into a two-week Animal Care volunteer program in Cape Town, South Africa (March 2027) through International Volunteer HQ — and I’d love your help getting there
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I'll be working at a local shelter caring for abandoned cats and dogs: feeding, cleaning, helping with basic health care, and giving them the love and attention they deserve while they wait for forever homes. It’s not common for people to have the proper knowledge or financial stability to care for these pets. I’ve been given the opportunity to learn and help and maybe make a difference in the world in a way I’ve always dreamed of.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Animals have always had my whole heart, and this is my chance to turn that love into something real. As many of you know, I’m very passionate about all animals and their care. This would mean the universe to me. It’s not just an experience of a lifetime, it’s a pilgrimage.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Every dollar goes directly toward getting me to Cape Town, but if you can't donate, sharing this page means the world too. Also any tips for a solo female traveler Thank you for believing in this dream with me ☁️

Support Cemini’s Animal Care Journey in South Africa

<div>
 I’m not homeless, but I am a broke nursing student—and tuition is doing its best to keep me that way. I’m learning how to care for patients, but right now, my bank account could use a little care of its own. Behind the jokes is a serious goal: finishing nursing school and becoming the nurse someone can count on during one of the hardest days of their life. If you can help me cover tuition, you’ll help keep me moving toward that future.
</div>
<div>
 I’m currently enrolled with The traditional BSN program with CU-Anschutz. Nursing school takes dedication, long study sessions, and a truly unreasonable number of flashcards. I’m asking for help with the bill.
</div>
<div>
 Every donation, big or small, will help cover my tuition and bring me closer to graduation. If donating isn’t possible, sharing this fundraiser would mean so much, too.
</div>
<div>
 Thank you for supporting a future nurse. I can’t promise to make needles less scary, but I can promise to care about the person on the other end.
</div>

Help Me Trade Tuition Bills for Nursing Skills

<div>Today, our community in Bend, Oregon, experienced an unimaginable tragedy. I am creating this fundraiser for the families directly affected by the elementary school shooting here in Bend. As a father of five, with two young girls in elementary and middle school just miles away, I felt a fear no parent should ever have to experience when the news broke. My wife and I rushed to pick up our daughters, and the relief of holding them is something I will never forget. My heart breaks for the parents, children, teachers, and families whose lives were changed today.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am raising these funds because the impact of this tragedy will not end today. Families may be facing emotional, physical, and financial hardship in the weeks and months ahead. Donations will help support those directly affected, including mental health support, funeral expenses, and other urgent needs that arise as families and the wider Bend community begin to carry the weight of what happened.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I will be working with the school's PTO to handle the funds, and funds will remain held in the GoFundMe in the meantime. Because the needs will continue over time, recurring donations can provide steady help in the coming weeks and months as families face ongoing support needs. One-time donations are also deeply appreciated and will make an immediate difference.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am personally contributing the first $500 because I feel a responsibility to do something to help. If you are able, please donate or share this fundraiser. Let’s show the families affected by this tragedy that they are not alone and that Bend will stand with them.

Support Bend Families After School Tragedy

<p>Little update! 
</p><br />
<p>We've made enough to cover the enrollment cost. Now comes the harder part. 
</p><br />
<p>***
</p><br />
<p>I'm raising funds for my son, Ezio, so he can take part in a school opportunity to travel to San Francisco for STEM experiences. 
</p><br />
<p>Ezio was recently given the chance to go on this trip with his school, and he really wants to go. It would give him the opportunity to travel somewhere new with his classmates, experience things he has only learned about from home or school, and grow in a way that could stay with him for years. 
</p><br />
<p>The biggest challenge is the cost. The trip itself is approximately $3,200, which our family cannot afford on our own right now. There is a scholarship available through the travel company, and we're applying for it, but Ezio has to be officially enrolled in the trip before he is eligible to apply. Even if he is selected, the scholarship would only cover $500 of the total cost. 
</p><br />
<p>My first goal is to raise enough to get him enrolled before enrollment closes on September 25. After that, the funds will continue to go toward the remaining trip cost. I know this is a big ask, and asking for help does not come easily to me, but I want to give Ezio every chance I can to have this experience. 
</p><br />
<p>Any donation, no matter the amount, would help. If you are not able to give, sharing this fundraiser would also mean a lot to our family. Thank you for supporting Ezio and helping us try to make this opportunity possible for him.
</p>

Help Send Ezio to San Francisco

I’m Christi, and I’m creating this fundraiser for myself and my daughter as we try to rebuild our lives here in Colorado. After coming here, I was in an abusive relationship. When that relationship ended and he was sentenced to prison, it was a good thing for our safety, but it also left me starting over with almost nothing. He had been the source of income in our household and had kept me from working, so when I was suddenly on my own, I was left with an apartment in my name that I couldn’t afford, no car, and no local family to lean on. My mom is in Texas, but she can only help a little. Since then, I’ve worked hard to get a job, find a new apartment, and keep moving forward for my daughter, but I am still struggling to catch up. 
<br>
<br>
 Right now, I’m already behind on rent, another month is coming due quickly, and I’m doing everything I can not to lose our apartment. On top of that, my old car broke down, and in Colorado I needed reliable transportation for the winter, so I had to take on a car payment and higher insurance costs. These are not just one-time setbacks. Rent, car payments, and insurance keep coming every month, and staying current on them is what helps me keep a roof over our heads and reliable transportation to continue working and caring for my daughter. I clean houses for a living, and I am willing to keep working hard to rebuild our life. Any support will help me catch up on overdue rent, cover the next month, and stay on top of essential car costs so I can get ahead instead of falling further behind. If you’re able to give, whether it’s a one-time donation or recurring support for these ongoing monthly bills, it would mean so much to us. And if continued help ever turns into work, I would even be willing to clean houses in return. I don’t want help forever. I just need some help right now while I get steady and build a good life for my daughter. Thank you for reading, for caring, and for anything you can do.

<div><strong>The Story of Blitzen</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hi everyone, I’m reaching out today with a heavy heart but a lot of hope for my best friend, Blitzen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Blitzen is a vibrant, 4-year-old Husky-Pomeranian mix who has been the light of my life since the day I got her. More than just a pet, Blitzen is my Emotional Support Animal (ESA). She has been my anchor through some of the hardest challenges of my life, providing a level of comfort and intuitive support that I truly couldn’t have found anywhere else. Now, it’s my turn to be there for her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Diagnosis</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recently, Blitzen began showing signs of severe discomfort. After a visit to the vet, we received the news that she has developed Glaucoma. For those who don't know, this condition causes intense pressure in the eye, which is not only blinding but incredibly painful for dogs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To stop the pain and ensure she can live a long, happy life, the veterinary specialists have recommended an enucleation (eye removal surgery).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why We Need Your Help</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While it’s a difficult decision to make, this surgery is the only way to get Blitzen back to her youthful, playful self. Currently, the pain keeps her from enjoying the zoomies and cuddles she’s famous for.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As many of you know, emergency specialist surgeries are a significant financial undertaking. The funds raised will go directly toward:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>-Pre-operative bloodwork and sedation
</div>
<div>-The surgical procedure and anesthesia.
</div>
<div>-Post-operative pain medication and follow-up care.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>A Thank You From the Bottom of My Heart</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Blitzen has spent her four years of life looking after me. She is my shadow, my comfort, and my family. Seeing her in pain is heartbreaking, and I want nothing more than to see her wagging her tail again without the burden of this pressure and ache.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any donation, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you aren’t able to donate, please consider sharing this link with your friends and family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for helping me save the sight and spirit of my sweet girl.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

<div>A Little Help to Get Back on My Feet — A Single Mom of Three-
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>*A small disclaimer I felt very vulnerable putting pictures of myself or my children, but if you’re compelled to help me, I’m more than happy to share whatever you feel I should share with you* 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>First, thank you for taking a moment to read my story.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Honestly, asking for help is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. I’ve gone back and forth about creating this fundraiser because it’s uncomfortable to share my struggles publicly. But sometimes we have to put our pride aside, be vulnerable, and trust that God will open a door when we need it most.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m a single mom of three beautiful children. I became a mother at 17, and ever since, I’ve worked hard to provide for my family and give my children the best life I possibly can.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, life took a difficult turn. After years of financial abuse in my relationship with my children’s father, I found myself struggling deeply with my mental health, including depression, anxiety, and PTSD. I spent a long time trying to hold everything together while carrying more than I knew how to handle.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In the summer of 2025, I allowed my children to spend their summer break with their father, who was living in Mexico at the time. I hoped it would help with childcare while I continued working. However, he ultimately decided not to return the children to me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At that point, I was already behind on rent and my car payments, and I had received an eviction notice. I had just $500 to my name, but I knew I had to get my children home. So, I took a leap of faith, traveled to Mexico, and thankfully was able to bring them back peacefully.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But when I returned to Colorado, my circumstances had changed completely. I had officially been evicted, and my car had been repossessed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since then, I’ve been trying to find my footing again. My mental health struggles have made rebuilding much harder than I ever imagined. I eventually had to move in with my mom, and although I’m grateful to have a place to stay, I’m still working to get back on my feet and create stability for my children.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Right now, one of my biggest obstacles is not having a reliable vehicle.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am working and doing everything I can to move forward, but living in Colorado without a car makes getting to and from work incredibly difficult. My damaged credit has also made it challenging to qualify for an auto loan.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m not asking for a brand-new car or anything fancy. My goal is simply to find a dependable, affordable vehicle that can get me to work, help me care for my children, and allow me to continue rebuilding my life. Ideally, it would be something reliable enough to handle Colorado’s winter weather.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m sharing my story because I need a little help getting over this hurdle. I believe that with a reliable vehicle, I can have a better opportunity to keep working, regain my independence, and build a more stable future for my children.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I know everyone has their own struggles, and I understand that not everyone is in a position to give. If you are able to contribute, any amount would mean more to me than I could ever express. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would also be an incredible help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>More than anything, I’m trying to find the strength to start again. I’m placing this in God’s hands and trusting that, somehow, the right people will see this at the right time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for reading my story, for your kindness, and for helping a mom who is simply trying to get back on her feet.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>May God bless you and your families. ❤️
