<div>My name is Frankie Lyn, and I’m raising money for myself and my grandmother, Suzy. She has always been the person who takes care of everyone, and now we’re in a place where we truly need help.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We live on a fixed income, and because I’m disabled and waiting for disability approval, our situation has become overwhelming. On top of that, both my Nana and I are full-time caregivers for my grandfather. We love him, but the physical and emotional exhaustion catches up with us every single day. We try and try, but it never seems to be enough—especially when the bills keep piling up faster than we can keep up with them.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>We’re overdue on our water bill, our stove recently broke, and we rely on SNAP just to get by.</strong> Even then, we often don’t have enough to last through the month. The fear of running out of food—or having our water or electricity turned off—hangs over us constantly.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My Nana is terrified to ask for help. She feels ashamed to be struggling like this and hates the idea of burdening anyone. She doesn’t deserve to feel this scared or embarrassed. She deserves peace, comfort, and stability—and I’m hoping this fundraiser can give her a little bit of that.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you’re able to donate or even just share this, it would mean more than you know. Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for caring about two people doing everything they can to get through a difficult time.

Help Frankie and Suzy Find Stability in Hard Times

<div>Fundraising for the <strong>Parsons Family Funeral</strong>. Joshua Parsons was a beautiful and kind soul taken from us far too soon. They loved hardcore music, Garfield, skateboarding, scooters, their friends, and their family. We loved them just as much. They will be with us for an eternity, immortalized forever in our hearts, and forever in Heaven. I am setting up the GoFundMe on their behalf in order to allow the family space and less worries.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The procession itself is $10,000, and the cremation and bench costs are around $2,000.</strong> An extra sum was asked for to give the family time for mourning without worrying about bills or any surprise costs, as well as to start helping cover house repairs due to the death. Thank you very much for any and all support through this trying time.

Parsons Family Funeral Procession

<div>!EMERGENCY UPDATE!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jeremy met with a neurosurgeon this morning at tristate neurosurgical associates &amp; is being admitted this afternoon for emergent care to the Gateway complex. He’ll get a round to fresh scans and bloodwork tonight before landing himself in an OR early tomorrow morning for a PLIF (posterior lumbar implant fusion). Unfortunately after this emergency procedure,  Jeremy will no longer be eligible for stem cell therapy. The shifted severity of his condition and overall risk of irreparable damage and paralysis has made this the only option. Let’s shift the support to help Jeremy and his family recover from invasive spine surgery. It will most likely take about 1 years for a full recovery. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We will keep everyone updated as things progress &amp; thank you again to anyone and everyone that’s been checking in, helping out &amp; moving us along this process. We are so grateful for everyone’s support!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>————————————————————
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>!Update!
</div>
<div>Since the launch of this GoFundMe, we have raised a good amount to get started on the journey to getting the stemcell treatment needed to fix Jeremy’s herniated disc , severe inflammatory arthritis, and chronic pain caused by this degenerative disc condition. With pain management medication and daily physical therapy, there have been some improvements overall but we’re are not out of the woods. Some of the issues Jeremy is facing currently are the inability to do too many of the normal everyday tasks without extreme consequences , severe nerve pain and today as we post he is bed ridden and immobile hoping to feel better in a few days. The medicine that Jeremy has been prescribed has caused a lot of side effects that ultimately led him to the decision to try not to taking most of them unless he is bedridden or close to it, leaving him in a constant state of “Don’t over do it. “ which is very difficult to do owning a understaffed business and being an active father and husband. IN THE PAST FEW DAYS, JEREMY IS STARTING TO CONSIDER GOING FORWARD WITH SURGERY DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF WORK HE EXPECTS TO MISS BECAUSE OF THE VERY RECENT SHIFT IN HIS INJURY AND PAIN. But, We have found a few companies that will do the stem cell therapy that have the option of financing and after talking to a few banks we have come to know that we will need at least 3/4 of the overall cost for the injections and treatments in order to get financed. We want to update and re-post this in hopes to get closer to that goal even if surgery is the next step, so Jeremy can get the treatment and help he needs and get this thing beat and not lose what he has worked so hard for. So if you can donate, just know anything helps and re-sharing this go fund me helps too.!
</div>
<div>Please read below for the original GoFundMe info for Jeremy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If anyone knows Jeremy, they know that he is very involved in the friendships and community around him. A true friend and mentor that protects and respects his peers. Friend or not, he is a special type of person that goes out of his way to help anyone if they are in need. Our big Jerm. A dedicated father, tattoo artist, a coach, a mentor, and front man for the hardcore band, Volcano. Jeremy has been suffering from a spinal condition called degenerative disc disease, “DDD”, for the better part of 10 years, and it has taken a turn for the worst in the last six months. We are raising funds for our friend, for the next step in his recovery from this vicious condition.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A DECADE OF PAIN!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Due to extreme nerve pain, drop foot, and severe inflammatory arthritis in the joints and discs in his lower lumbar spine, Jeremy is unable to work consistently. After years of bearing through it, it’s the worst it’s ever been, and he can barely function.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With these issues, he has not been able to sleep for more that 2-3 hours without interruption. He cannot physically play with, nor pick up, his son, which has been taking a large toll on Jeremy’s emotional health, as he is an active, playful father. He is not able to coach his students and 14-year-old daughter in kickboxing. He has missed his students’ fights. Also, after playing one show, his doctor suggested that he refrain from performing with his band Volcano until they can find better pain management or come up with a fix. He cannot tattoo or be present to manage the fully-staffed tattoo business that he owns. He cannot work for more than an hour at a time, and most of his recent work is large scale and requires multiple hour sessions. The money is just not there for the existing medical costs, nor for the bill that is expected to come concerning the next route of recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So far, he has had a microdiscectomy in 2013 for a herniated disc, three years before the issues became unbearable again. He has been prescribed NSAIDs only, which is like a Band-Aid for this painful issue.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He has had numerous spinal injections of not only nerve block anesthetic, but also steroid injections. These caused little to no relief and were extremely painful. He has tried both physical therapy and chiropractic adjustments with no relief, sometimes the procedures and trials making the issues worse.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The next step in recovery is to visit the CPI INSTITUTE for stemcell injections. This is one of the only soft tissue regenerative options we have in the world. About 90% of people with the same exact injuries and issues experience tremendous relief and usually fix these issues within six months.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let us help our big dog get through this and heal from this awful disease.

<div>Hey everybody! My name is Mark and I am a first year student at UNT with the vision to open my own boba cat cafe right here next to campus! I've been planning out this idea for a while and now it's finally happening!!! I want this cafe to be a really cute and relaxed space that students can come to to get boba, coffee, pastries and so much more while also getting to hang out, socialize and study with so many cats! There's going to be a main cafe area where you get your drinks, food, etc. and then there are going to be the large lounge areas where there will be so many kitties running around that you can cuddle, pick up, and play with! I also want to have some sperate quiet study rooms where you can bring a cat in to be with you while you study!! I have so many amazing and unique ideas to make this cafe sooooo fun and adorable. I want it to be a super comfy place people can come to study, relax, and socialize!!!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Along with the cafe, we're going to have a lot of fun things. A little shop area where we sell merch, plushies, and other cute cat related things. I also want to have a small area for few local artists / small businesses to sell their things. There's going to be a couple of claw machines, gatcha machines and more fun things to do to stay entertained while with the kitties.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I really want to raise funds so I can make this dream a reality. Anything at all will help and for a small incentive, anyone who donates $15+ will get stuff in return when we finally open. Stuff like merchandise, gift cards, free hour entry. I want to be able to give back to the people who supported me along the way! Thank you so much to anyone that can help!!! &lt;3

Boba Cat Cafe Startup Fundraising

Hi, we are raising funds for our friends Madi, Brandon, Andy and Aaron who are band members in Year of the Knife. Last night, the band was driving from SLC to Colorado Springs when they collided with an 18-wheeler. Andy &amp; Aaron both sustained broken legs and other trauma. Brandon is concussed. Madi is in critical condition with head and spinal injuries and a few broken bones.As we wait for additional information on their conditions, we are doing the best we can to alleviate any stress possible. As you can assume, their touring van is totaled. The van also doubles as Madi and B's sole vehicle so this will impact them in more ways than just touring. Madi and B also run their brand, Candy Corpse, that will continue to fulfill orders but other aspects may be halted for the foreseeable future. Due to these awful circumstance, we unfortunately have to think of the financial burden this will place on our friends. If you are able to help in any way, we all greatly appreciate it. We ask that you please share with your family and friends, and please send the 4 of them all the positive thoughts, energy, prayers, anything. We are so thankful that everyone is alive, but there is a long road ahead of them for recovery. Please consider donating to help with their medical bills and to keep them afoot while they are stuck in SLC. Thank you in advance.
