<div>Hi friends,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A Burning Man momma needs our help. I’m reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for help on behalf of <strong>my amazing mom</strong>. She recently had a serious accident that left her in urgent need of a hip replacement. <strong>The injury was sudden and severe—and while we’re incredibly grateful she was able to get emergency surgery, the physical and financial toll has been overwhelming.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Anyone who knows my mom knows how full of life she is. She’s a free spirit who has always found joy in the little things—gardening in her backyard, baking for friends and family, and dancing under the stars at Burning Man. This accident has taken away her mobility and independence, and the road to recovery will be long, both physically and emotionally.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am traveling as fast as I can back to Reno to be there for her 24/7 &amp; my brother Joe is working tirelessly to ready things for her transition home hopefully in the coming weeks. We’re doing everything we can to support her, but the medical expenses—from surgery to rehabilitation—are more than we can manage on our own. That’s why we’re asking for help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation, no matter how small, will go directly toward her medical bills and recovery costs. If you’re unable to give, simply sharing this page would mean the world to us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support during this incredibly difficult time.
</div>

Stand by Her: My Mom's Path to Healing

<div>EDIT: Thank you all so so very much for supporting my brother during this very scary time. I can’t express how much your generosity  has touched my family. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have decided to increase the goal to motivate friends and family who still want to give. Gordon’s extended stay in the hospital will inevitably result in devastating hospital bills and his trouble breathing will keep him from work for some time. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please keep sharing and thank you thank you to all of those who have given already!!❤️
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>*My brother Gordon was in a motorcycle accident the day before Easter. He broke 5 ribs, his clavicle, collapsed a lung, and totaled his primary mode of transportation. After a 3 day hospital stay he’ll be released for a month long recovery at home. We’re calling all our friends, family, and community to help with living expenses and medical bills. Anything will be helpful, even the smallest amount. We appreciate your help and support.

Hi! I’m creating this GoFundMe on behalf of my dear friends Duke + Simba (Duke’s dog). Please feel free to share this page if you feel compelled. Both Duke + Simba are longtime friends of mine and I'm just wanting to be supportive and get the word out. Thank you kindly! <br /><br /><br /><strong>Message from Duke: </strong><br /><br />My friend Simba, and for many of you, your friend too, has been diagnosed with Osteosarcoma in his front left leg. <br /><br />Osteosarcoma is a bone tumor that rapidly eats away the bone, is very painful, and can become increasingly more painful if untreated. <br /><br />In the meantime, he seems to be doing just fine on his low dose of doggy pain pills. <br /><br />The long term approach for Simba to live a happy healthy pain-free life is an amputation of that front left leg from the scapula down. From what I know of the surgery, it seems like a pretty straightforward procedure and a costly one. <br /><br />I have no problem reaching out and asking for help from my amazing friends and family in the Facebook community and beyond because Simba would not hesitate to do it for me if the roles were reversed. <br /><br />Simba, as we know him, is going through a transformation and will become the most bad ass, handsome, lovely tripod you've ever seen! <br /><br />This is Duke, Simba's father, and I am asking you for your donation to help offset the rather sizable bill that will be due on the date of his surgery and the litany of expenses that go along with cancer - ranging from medications, supplements, procedures and rehabilitation.<br /><br />In addition, love, positive thoughts, encouraging words are all just as welcome - so thank you! <br /><br />This lovely being has had a massive positive impact on my life and many others as well. As his father It is my duty to do whatever I can to honor this wonderful, gentle, kind being. <br /><br />Everything helps, and every penny counts. Thank you in advance for your powerful generosity. <br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/53598558_1609263951585743_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="53598558_1609263951585743_r.jpeg" /><br />With love light and gratitude,<br /><br />Your friends,<br /><br />Simba, Dooley, and Duke  (three of the best dog names of all time)

Supporting Simba & Dukaroo during a time of need

I'm asking for any and all donations to help at this time for her finale expenses and her boys. It's been a week and I'll never have the right words to say about the passing of my beautiful sister who was a mother that loved her 3 boys and my 2 sons with all her heart. It was very unexpected and we're all lost without her to brighten our lives. Thank for any help, kind words, prayers, hugs, light, guidance and donations during this difficult time.

For my sister

Since I first contacted Kesha several months ago, we have been working together to try and find the best way to move forward with this campaign. We didn't raise enough to accomplish our initial goal of buying Kesha's contract, and Kesha didn't want to accept the money for herself. She wanted to find a way to help others, and she wanted to make sure your donations were put to use in a way that would honor each and every one of you who gives.<br /><br />So with Kesha's blessing and support, <strong>all of the money raised by this campaign will be given to RAINN (Rape, Abuse &amp; Incest National Network)</strong> to help fund their <a href="https://hotline.rainn.org/online/terms-of-service.jsp" target="_blank">National Sexual Assault Hotline</a> as well as educational outreach efforts. This way, your donations will go directly towards helping survivors.<br /><br /><strong>When you give to RAINN, you're not just donating to an organization—you're helping to improve the lives of thousands of people affected by sexual violence. 93¢ of every dollar donated will go directly to RAINN's programs and services. RAINN will use this donation to help an average of 558 survivors receive help through its hotlines each day. A portion of the funds also will be used to educate more than 130 million people per year on prevention and recovery, through relationships with the entertainment industry, the media, and local communities.</strong><br /><br />For more information about RAINN, please visit their website: <a href="https://donate.rainn.org/" target="_blank"><a href="https://donate.rainn.org/" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://donate.rainn.org/</a></a> <br /><br /><strong>***</strong><br /><br />Please tweet/RT/share <strong>#FreeKesha</strong> as much as you can. She is still under contract to Sony and still needs our support.<br /><br /><strong>"[I only worked with Dr. Luke] because literally I got blackmailed by my label.

#FreeKesha Supports RAINN

Dear Friends of Platypus Tours,<br /><br />We are overwhelmed by the response from friends, family, past guests and strangers who have donated so generously to our campaign. We appreciate every cent. We started the distribution to our staff members, who are grateful to receive financial support after losing work due to the cancelled tours. Our staffing is still reduced considerably because of a significant drop-off in business, so contributions are still very much appreciated.<br /><br />We are happy to note that our tours have resumed normal operation . The Atlas, Nuns, and Tubbs fires are at 100% containment as of Halloween day. The area does not expect any further property damage as a result of the fires.<br /><br />Napa and Sonoma Counties have officially switched from “disaster” mode to “recovery” mode. And you can help with that! Napa and Sonoma are open for business, and we are happily encouraging all visitors to keep their scheduled vacations, or to make new plans to come see us. While the fires are contained, they were financially devastating to the area. The Tubbs fire has been called the “single most destructive wildland blaze in state history.” Insurance officials say it is the costliest in the country’s history. Local businesses - including wineries, hotels, restaurants and tour operators such as ourselves - have lost physical property as well as revenue from the normally large number of visitors that come in October. Choosing to visit Wine Country will make a huge difference in the speed with which we can recover from this devastation. The skies are blue, the air is clear, and you will never meet hospitality members so grateful for and ready to host visitors. <br /><br />We look forward to seeing you soon!

<p>Edythe De La Rosa is a lovely, kind, and elderly lady who has been generally self-sufficient for most of her life, she's raised a family and lives on her own.  She recently had her vehicle, wheelchair and walker stolen from her and now has been left without a way to get around.  This gofundme endeavor is an effort that will be used to help her recover what was stolen; that being a vehicle that will be sufficient to help her maintain her independence as she's always done.  The funds would be prefered to be raised as soon as possible, but there isn an understanding of what time of year this has occurred; every little bit helps!! So please, think of your own family, wouldn't it be nice to help out a lovely lady who has always been a joy to know, such as your own mother, grandmother, aunt or anyone else you love dearly to maintain their quality of life and independence so long as they can?  I know I would! Thank you all SO much for any contribution you are able to spare to help this awesome lady out with her needs and peace of mind; help bring about a resurgence of kind-hearted people who are willing to help out whenever they can, you'll be glad you did!<br />Text from KATU2 interview with Ms. Edythe on her stolen van, wheelchair, and walker: </p>
<p>"STAYTON, Ore. — Edythe De La Rosa lives at her home in Stayton with a caretaker. She relies on a wheelchair and walker to get around her home.<br /><br />With the weekend storm heading to the Pacific northwest, the 91-year-old said she loaded both her wheelchair and walker in to her van to prepare for a quick evacuation.<br /><br />The storm came and went, but Sunday she realized her van was gone.<br /><br />“I don't understand how anyone, Christian or not, could do that to a person in my condition - or my age,” Edythe said.<br /><br />Edythe had to save part of her social security checks for over a year in order to buy the wheelchair and walker.<br /><br />“I was in 7th heaven, I could go anywhere!” Edythe remembered.<br /><br />With the walker, Edythe was able to get around her home and tend to her flowers. Now she is confined to a chair in her kitchen.<br /><br />“My little walker was worth a million dollars to me,” Edythe said.<br /><br />Edythe has outlived her husband and six children. She says she feels even more alone without the ability to move around her home with ease.<br /><br />“It's all the family I got, my family's all gone, I’m all alone,” Edythe said. “I can’t do much, my hands don't work, I’ve had a stroke... why do that to me? What did I do to them?”<br /><br />Edythe has called her insurance company, State Farm, they say she has a $1,000 deductible -- money Edythe just doesn't have.<br /><br />“I prayed very hard that I would wake up and my car would be sitting in the yard, she was like one of the family,” Edythe said."<br />(Azar, K., KATU News. (2016, October 17). 91-year-old woman's wheelchair, car stolen: 'Why do that to me?'. [Video File] Retrieved from <a href="http://katu.com/news/local/91-year-old-womans-wheelchair-and-car-stolen"><a href="http://katu.com/news/local/91-year-old-womans-wheelchair-and-car-stolen" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://katu.com/news/local/91-year-old-womans-wheelchair-and-car-stolen</a></a>)<br /><br />My name is Cherie and I am congregation member in the same congregation that Edythe is a member of in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  I was asked to raise these funds for Ms. Edythe so that she would be able to recover what she has lost.  That is my connection to Ms. Edythe (for any who *might* have questions relating to that).  The funds will be used for the reason already stated in the original text part of why the campaign was started in the first place. Nothing more, nothing less.  This statement is requested by gofundme for reasons related to 'transparency'.   The logistics for 'how' the funds will get to Ms. Edythe will absolutely comply with gofundme's policies and will only go to Ms. Edythe; period.  No third parties, no ulterior motives, nothing of the sort.  So please know that these monies being raised will 100% go directly toward the procurement of a vehicle for Edythe in order for her to maintain her deserved independence.  </p>
