<div>Hello friend, family, or stranger. My name is Melissa. My friend, Janine, and I are reaching out to raise some funds for our dear friend <strong>Michelle Nielsen</strong>. Michelle was diagnosed with breast cancer in July. She had a lumpectomy already. What was initially thought to be one small lump of 7MM turned out to be one much larger at 31MM and two additional areas of 8MM and 2MM. She will now begin chemotherapy and then radiation. She has been missing a great deal of work and may now face a lack of health insurance next year. She has been sharing her journey on YouTube and other platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. So many of her supporters have asked how to help and have wanted to send Michelle some funds. Reluctantly, Michelle finally agreed to this amazing forum to do this. <strong>You all know what an amazing individual Michelle is. You all know how prevalent she is in our lives. Her heart is so big. Her first concern was gifting others if they sent a donation.</strong> Janine and I explained it defeats the purpose, but a thank you goes a long way. Thank you for your time. Even sharing this fundraiser is a help. ~Janine and Melissa

Support Michelle Nielsen's Cancer Journey

<div>On the early morning of July 21st, a call from the hospital, that no one would’ve ever expected, instantly turned our lives upside down. We suddenly and unexpectedly lost our beautiful Andrea. She's a daughter, sister, spouse, mother, aunt, cousin, niece &amp; friend. My sister is one of the strongest women I will ever know. She loved fiercely. Her babies meant the absolute world to her and now we are left to pick up where she left off, as she now leaves behind Jose, Aleah (7) &amp; Julian (5) &amp; family. We will never understand the why and we are struggling with the hole that is now left in our hearts. We are asking for those who knew her and loved her to help with the cost of her funeral. All additional proceeds will go directly to her two children to help with their expenses &amp; future. We want to thank you for all of the kind words and support we have received thus far.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are now in the process of making funeral arrangements and will notify all family &amp; friends of the date of the service.

<div>For the first time in school history, <strong>the BKW softball team has made it to the semi-finals of the NYS championship</strong> beginning this Friday, June 7th on Long Island. The girls will take on Union Springs of Section IV.

<div>Hi my name is Tammy and I am creating this for a dear friend, whose husband is going through a difficult painful time right now. John recently has had some struggles with chronic back pain that has now led up to needing surgery! The surgery John has to have is transforminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF). he will be out of work 3 months after surgery. That being said he will lose time at work while he recovers at home, loss of income as we all know in this time, is not a good thing. Cost of living is already at a high, adding copays and medical bills on top of that can be more stressful! They are a beautiful couple and they have a son at home. They will be down to one income for a while until John fully recovers. Anything we can do to help offset some of the cost and help with the next few months for them would be a blessing! They won’t ask for help so this will be a surprise for them as we come together as a community to help support a family at their time of need. If you know John and Gail personally then you know this is true! If you don’t know them then maybe find it in your heart to send them prayers, love and a small donation! Anything helps!! John is loving kind and one of the funniest people I’ve ever met! I pray for a speedy recovery and that they get the support and love they deserve during this process!
</div>
<div>All donations will be given to them to pay for medical costs and to help with cost of living! Thank you for your support!
</div>
<div>May God Bless you and keep you

<p><strong>This is Val Lento &amp; she is a warrior!<br /><br /></strong>On February 23, 2022, Mt. Sinai made the decision to remove Val from their program. Due to a few complications that have arisen over the last 6 months, they no longer felt they had the expertise to perform the Multi Visceral transplant she needs. It was devastating news for Val and Gus. After a year of traveling back and forth to NYC, a new plan was needed to save her. But god is good… and yesterday Val got word that Miami Transplant Center (the top facility in the country for this extremely complicated surgery) has decided to take her case.  She will be heading to Miami later this month to start the testing process.  Obviously, with Val and Gus living in upstate NY, and Gus still working full time, the logistics involved to pull this off are difficult and financially draining. Between the wait, the transplant and recovery Val will likely have to be in Miami for about a year. The costs of going back and forth as well as life long medication is going to cause a terrible hardship. As her support system, we ask that you give if you can &amp; prayers are always needed.<br />#valstrong<br /><br />Her Original story is below...<br /><br />
</p>
<p>In 2020 Val was diagnosed with end stage liver disease. Many hospital visits and tests later in May 2021 her condition became extreme. She spent 2 weeks intubated and under went a TIPS procedure to restore some function to her liver. She was approved for a liver transplant and the waiting and appointments back and forth to Mt. Sinai in NYC began.
</p>
<p>In August 2021 the swelling in her legs and feet were out of control and she was once again admitted to Mt. Sinai. During this trip it was discovered that the TIPS procedure that<em> saved her life</em> had created some changes in her anatomy and a Multi Visceral transplant is now needed. She will need a liver, colon, Stomach, bowel &amp; small intestine <strong>all from one donor</strong>.
</p>
<p>The liver transplant alone is about $812,000!
</p>
<p>Val &amp; Gus only need to focus on her transplant and recovery. No one battling for life should have to worry about expenses.
</p>
<p>No gift is too small!

Val's Transplant Battle in Miami

I have an eye for and a reputation for finding helpless animals that need it the most - the babies and the defenseless. People call and message me for help and I always do my best. I sleep in 3-4 hour sprints between feeding sessions. They are literally my babies until they can be on their own. I have paid for veterinary exams, treatments, surgeries, and diagnostics as well as supplies and medications from PetsMart, Pet Supermarket, Chewy, Amazon, etc. - all out of my own pocket. Once these animals are healthy and independent, they are off to forever homes. But I bear the cost up to that point. My pockets, like everyone's, are really thin right now but  I won't  stop helping the littles or even the seniors.  With my hours being cut I have the time, but my pay has also been cut at work.  Formula, meds, basic supplies, and vet bills are getting costly. I try to show all of my animal adventures online along with the cat colony that I promised a dying veteran to take care of - The Everyday People. He has since passed but I am still taking care of them. It's been almost 5 years. My wonderful husband has a veterinary medical background and that helps us save a lot! Again, I know this isn't the best time to ask for help but we really and honestly need the help!<img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/49577120_1594519602194060_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="49577120_1594519602194060_r.jpeg" />Thanks for reading, sharing this message, and helping in any way!  I'll keep sharing pictures and stories of everyone that comes across my path and heart.  Take care and if I can help you let me know! Pictured is Fred, about 5 weeks old. He was found today and has an upper respiratory infection, intestinal parasites and is dehydrated. His outlook is good, but he is one of many and there will surely be more. By the way, Fred is SUPER COOL and loving.
