 Jeff Woods passed away suddenly on the morning of Aug 11th. He leaves behind his wife, Penny, and their seven children.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Jeff was the lead project manager at Tyson Remodel, and a deeply valued member of our team. He was loved by each person he met, coworkers and clients alike.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 This fund has been set up to help support Penny and their family during this incredibly difficult time.

<div>
 Thank you for any support you're able to give.

In Memory of Jeff Woods: Support for His Family

<div>On Christmas Eve 2025, our family experienced an unimaginable loss when we unexpectedly lost our mother, Joan Horner. She leaves behind her husband and two children who are now trying to navigate life without her love, guidance, and support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As we grieve, we are also facing overwhelming practical challenges. Our father is currently battling stage 4 lung cancer, and the medical bills continue to grow. At the same time, we are struggling to afford funeral and end-of-life expenses for our mother.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At just 24 years old, Anna is the only person in our household able to work. She has unexpectedly become the sole provider, responsible for supporting her 16-year-old brother and our seriously ill father, and is carrying this responsibility on a limited single income.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are asking for help to ease the financial burden during this incredibly difficult time. Any donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward funeral costs, medical expenses, and basic living needs so our family can focus on healing and supporting one another.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser means more than you know. Thank you for your kindness, love, and support during one of the hardest moments of our lives.
</div>

Support the Horner Family After Tragic Loss

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My name is Rachel Harden. I’m 48 years old, and until recently, I was living a normal life. I never imagined that 2025 would become the hardest year of my life—a year where one simple doctor’s visit would turn into the fight for my health and my life.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>In March of 2025, I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, an aggressive form of breast cancer. In just a matter of weeks, everything changed. I endured five months of grueling chemotherapy, which left me exhausted, sick, and emotionally drained.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Now, on October 3, 2025, I will undergo a double mastectomy to remove my breast. Whether I will also need radiation depends on what doctors find during surgery—specifically if the cancer has spread to my lymph nodes. The journey has already been relentless, and while the road ahead is uncertain, one thing is certain: I am a fighter.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This diagnosis has taken so much from me. I will not be able to work during this time, and the costs of treatment, recovery, and daily living expenses continue to grow. That’s why I am humbly asking for your support. Every donation—no matter the size—will go directly toward:

</div>

<div>•	Medical bills

</div>

<div>•	Recovery costs

</div>

<div>•	Living expenses while I am unable to work

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I would never wish this journey on anyone, but I am determined to keep fighting. I want to beat cancer so I can live, love, and watch my children grow into adulthood. I want to look back one day and say: “I beat this—with the help of my family, friends, and kind-hearted strangers.”

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to read my story and for standing with me during the hardest battle of my life. Your generosity, kind words, and prayers mean more than I can ever express.

</div>

Help Rachel Beat Breast Cancer-  Support Her Fight

<div><strong>Remembering Jeff Flood</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jeff/PeeWee/Fish... no matter the name you knew him by, you knew what a truly amazing guy he was. Jeff was so much to so many people: a son, brother, coach, and friend, but above all, he was the best, most devoted Dad to his two boys. If you knew Jeff, you know how big his heart was. He never hesitated to show up for the people he loved.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jeff's passing has left a hole in all of our lives, and especially the lives of his boys. While the family grieves the loss of their son, brother, and Dad, they're also facing the weight of unexpected expenses for his memorial services and the road ahead without him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fundraiser was created as a way for friends, family, and the entire community who loved Jeff to come together to honor him. <strong>The funds raised will go directly toward covering memorial costs and supporting his boys and family during this incredibly difficult time.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you're able to donate, please know that every little bit helps. And if you can't, sharing this page or sending love and prayers means just as much.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jeff had a gift for lifting others up - now it's our turn to lift up his boys and his family in his memory.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your love and support.

Remembering Jeff Flood

<div>A Bellevue High School 9th grader was murdered. This is an unimaginable statement to have to write.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On May 30th, 15-year-old Azjanae Brooks—lovingly known as Naenae—was tragically and senselessly taken from her family, her friends and our community. A radiant spirit, a cherished daughter, sister, cousin, niece and friend, Azjanae’s life was full of promise, joy, and deep love for the people around her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To her family, she was more than just a teenager. She was Miss Pretty—a bold, compassionate soul who met the world with kindness and authenticity. Azjanae had a light that made those around her feel seen, safe, and loved. Her laughter filled their home. Her hugs brought comfort. She had dreams. She had a future. And she did not deserve this.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The loss of Azjanae has left her loved ones shattered. But even in the midst of unimaginable grief, they are determined to honor her life, her love, and her legacy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This GoFundMe has been created on behalf of Azjanae’s family to help cover:
</div>
<div>•	Funeral and memorial expenses so she can return "home" to Georgia to be laid to rest near family.
</div>
<div>•	Grief counseling and healing support for those closest to her including her young siblings.
</div>
<div>•	Unforeseen expenses during this difficult time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are able, please consider donating. No amount is too small. And if you’re unable to give, we ask that you share this campaign and keep the family in your thoughts and prayers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for standing with her family and holding space for their heartbreak. Your love, generosity, and support mean more than words can express.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div>Melissa Johnson on behalf of the family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At this time, the family is simply overwhelmed. We know there is deep media and public interest in this story. The family is asking for privacy to protect Naenae's siblings and allow the family to focus on each moment as it comes. If you need to reach out, Naenae's aunt Daidra Manning is serving as the family spokesperson. Reach out through this platform and I'll connect you.

Honoring Azjanae Brooks: A Life Taken Too Soon

<div>Family and Friends,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are so saddened to share that our brother, Joey, has been diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer, which has spread to his liver.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Joey was hospitalized from April 1st to April 8th in significant pain. He had comprehensive bloodwork, numerous tests run and biopsies. On April 10th he met with his oncologist and was told the biopsy confirmed their suspicions of Stage 4 colon cancer, which had spread to his liver. Joey was admitted that evening to start his first chemotherapy session, which took much of the day. Once completed, he was sent home. In two weeks he will return to the hospital for the next round of chemo.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, Joey does not have health insurance for himself, so he’s applying for assistance in the state of Texas. He is a small business owner, and this diagnosis has complicated his family's well-being as he struggles to manage business, hard news, and sickness. Many depend on his strength and provision. So, we are asking for help from family and friends, all of you. We anticipate significant bills for what has already been done and what will be ahead. For example, he’s currently on a blood thinner that will cost him $900/month. That’s just a fraction of the expenses that we know will accumulate quickly. Finances are a burden that will inhibit his treatment. Please, please consider contributing if you are able.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, we want to tell you a few things we love about our baby brother. He’s awesome! He’s able to make us laugh, even in these darkest of times. Despite being in pain, he calls us. Throughout the conversation he has us wiping our tears and laughing. As his sisters, we each have a special bond with him. We look forward to many more times of hanging out with him and making memories together. He’s sweet, caring, funny, loving, generous, kind and really fun. We are so lucky to be his sisters.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Joey has been married to the love of his life, Andrea, for almost 24 years. They have two sons, Ethan and Ian and a daughter, Lexi. They have been living in Texas since 2018.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please, if you are able to donate and help Joey and his family, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your consideration.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With Deep Gratitude,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Edna, Theressa, and Judi (Joey's sisters)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>--Theressa will be receiving funds for Joey and distributing them promptly to his family.
</div>

Joey Figueroa's Battle Against Cancer

<div>Sang fought cancer with strength and courage. In the three years of his fight, he remained a steadfast father, husband, brother, son and friend. Even through his treatments, he was an encourager, provider and rock becasue of his identity that was deeply rooted in Jesus. He leaves behind a legacy of service, leadership and kindness. Whether he was working at UPS, serving at church, building community doing sports and supporting sports, he brought JOY, laughter, HUGS and candy (for all the littles) wherever he went. Sang leaves behind his wife Tina and three kids - Natalie, Nolan and Nicholas.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We may not know all the ways to support Tina during this difficult time but we hope this campaign will reduce the financial burdens that follow. If you are so moved to honor Sang, please consider donating to this fund to help cover funeral costs and supporting his children with a memorial college fund. Natalie finishes her sophomore year this year, Nolan will enter college in the fall and Nicholas will start high school.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sang's Journal Entry (June 30, 2020)
</div>
<div>" I am so thankful to each and everyone of you. I know that I could not be where I am today since my diagnosis if it were not for your continuous love, support and prayers. I am certain that God hears your prayers and is doing a good thing for all those that love him. May His peace be with all of you especially during these times."
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sang, you are missed.
</div>
<div>We are here for your family because you were here for ours.

In Loving Memory of Sang Gu

<div>Those of you who know Patti Fickel, know that she has had many roles in her life and wears many hats in her community. To some, she is a daughter, sister, mother, wife, friend, beloved family member and grandma. To others, she takes the role of teacher, leader, helper, worker, hostess, disciple, superwoman, caregiver and encourager.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>However, in more recent months, Patti Fickel has officially taken on a new role as “Fighter”. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After months of not feeling well, multiple doctors’ visits and various tests, Patti and her family received the news that a 3.2 cm tumor was discovered in the center of her pancreas surrounding the celiac artery. On July 5th, 2022, it was confirmed that Patti had stage 3 cancer. 
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>Shortly after, Patti’s doctors did an abdominal laparoscopy to get a better look at her tumor. They had found a ¼ inch spot on her abdomen moving her to a stage 4 classification. With this, Patti found out that she was accepted into the Phase 3 clinical trial known as “Precision Promise”. This trial is conducted by approximately 30 Cancer Care institutions in America, including Virginia Mason, Seattle Cancer Care/Fred Hutch, Johns Hopkins, Sloan-Kettering, etc. This trial uses immunotherapy drugs in combination with chemo to enhance results. It is a “randomized” study where 70% of the folks get the additional drugs with chemo and 30% just get the chemo. Patti was chosen to be part of the 70% which was what so many had been praying for! After 8 weeks of the trial, her tumor had shown no growth and even some shrinkage! However, another 8 weeks went by and the second CT scan identified that Patti’s tumor had unfortunately grown another 10 mm meaning she no longer qualified to be a participant in the trial. Her doctor assured her and her husband that although they were no longer part of the trial, he had many different treatment plans up his sleeve. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Most recently, Patti has moved to a chemo treatment where she sees her doctor every other Tuesday at Virginia Mason. Part of the drugs are administered at the hospital and the remainder of the drugs are given to Patti over 46 hours using a take-home pump connected to her chemo portal. On Thursdays, Patti’s daughter removes the tube connecting her to her port.  She has been receiving this treatment for 8 weeks and the latest CT scan showed no growth or spread of the tumor! We are all celebrating this as a win! Patti’s next CT scan is scheduled for the week of March 27th. Please pray for no growth and spread of the tumor!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lately, Patti has been suffering from normal side effects that come with this stage and form of illness. She is on medication to take away the pain. The medication makes her nauseous. Her nausea keeps her from eating. Her weight loss makes her body weak. Her lack of energy keeps her from participating in certain activities she used to enjoy. HOWEVER, her unwavering faith in our Lord, Jesus Christ has given her the joy that only comes from Him and she continues to be a light to everyone around her. 
</div>
<div>Throughout this entire process, Patti and her husband, Mark have been nothing but faithful. I have been told by Patti several times that God has been preparing her for this exact moment – that God has equipped her with family, friends and a community that would be here to support her in this journey. She has even proclaimed that if it weren’t for this illness, people in her community would not be seeking God like they do today. She and Mark are so grateful for the numerous ways that people have reached out through cards, gifts, meals, texts, and most of all prayers. So many people are looking for a tangible way to support Patti and her family during this time. Through this fundraiser, donations will be gathered to contribute towards Patti’s medical bills and any other health-related needs she and Mark have throughout her battle. Mark and Patti aren’t working at this time so your donations would make a significant impact. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For those of you receiving email updates on Patti’s latest status, know that her husband, Mark always closes out the email with a Scripture verse – one that we can both pray over and be encouraged by. It only seems right to do the same. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Psalms 112:7 They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />

Patti Fickel’s Fight Against Pancreatic Cancer

<p>Please join the South Whatcom Firefighters Association in supporting the McVicker family as they start an incredibly difficult journey with cancer. Recently, Lauren McVicker, wife of South Whatcom Fire Authority firefighter Cameron McVicker, was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. In addition to the obvious challenges created by a global pandemic, Lauren is currently 28 weeks pregnant with their second child, further complicating treatment plans.
</p>

<p>Seeing as the Association is unable to hold our semi-annual pancake fee fundraiser due to Covid-19 restrictions, we are asking for your financial support for our fire family in need. 100% of funds raised will go straight to the McVicker family to help with the financial burden of treatment and related loss of work. 
</p>

<p>Please help us give back to a family that has given so much to their community. Thank you!!!<br /><br />The South Whatcom Firefighters Association

<strong>Hi! My name is Lisa Ornelas </strong>I am a freshman at the <strong>University of Washington</strong> and a proud member of my sorority, <strong>Phi Mu.</strong> I am planning on majoring in nursing so that I can help people in need and hope to make a positive impact in other people’s lives. <br /><br />To begin this journey, I am competing in <strong>Theta Chi’s dream girl philanthropy</strong>. We will be raising money to help benefit the <strong>Kyle Charvat Foundation. </strong>All funds and donations will be given to the Foundation to be used to provide financial assistance to young adults diagnosed with any form of life-threatening cancer.  I am hoping to raise $2,000 by April 25th <br /><br />In 2006, Kyle was a greatly loved brother of the theta chi fraternity at UW when he was diagnosed with a deadly brain tumor. When children become young adults, they generally do not have adequate financial resources to afford high medical bills. Most charitable organizations target young children and this leaves young adults in a somewhat anonymous group. For those that suffer a catastrophic medical condition requiring medical care beyond what insurance will provide, there is often nowhere to turn to fund medical treatment.<br /><strong>The mission of the Kyle Charvat Foundation is to lend a helping hand to those unfortunate young adults that can’t afford those high medical bills. </strong>The young men of this house have a personal connection to this foundation and this is why they are so dedicated to helping other young adults like Kyle in anyway they can. <br /><br />Help me make a difference and donate today!

Theta Chi’s dream girl philanthropy

On Thursday, February 21st, my friend, Breanne received a call from her husband that their almost 4-month-old son, Nathan, was unconscious.  As Breanne arrived home, she knew immediately that Nathan needed care, urgently.  His breathing was faint and strained while he was limp and unresponsive in her arms.<br /><br />Nathan was air lifted to Children’s Hospital.  He suffered from extreme cerebral hypoxia (lack of oxygen to the brain) and subdural bleeding (hemorrhaging on the brain).  The next 4 days were a hard-fought battle by Nathan, surrounded by his mom, amazing and supportive doctors and nurses in the pediatric intensive care unit.  The primary objective at that point was to keep Nathan alive.  Nathan was on breathing tubes, being monitored for seizures, had a drain tube in his head to manage the swelling and bleeding, and he was unable to see.  But he was fighting. <br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/37614786_1552421780519373_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="37614786_1552421780519373_r.jpeg" />Morning of February 22nd<br /><br />On day 5, the MRI.  The neurologist identified a large black spot on his left parietal lobe, dead brain tissue that would not recover.  This portion of the brain focuses on interpreting visual information and processing language.  Nathan’s life, and his families, was forever changed. <br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/37614786_155242191240582_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="37614786_155242191240582_r.jpeg" />Morning of March 1st<br /><br />His mom has not left his side in almost 3 weeks now, one of the most dedicated and loving people I know.  They still have significant challenges to overcome, but we are hopeful for Nathan to continue his fight.  The doctors have educated Breanne on the developmental challenges, and the ongoing, intensive therapy Nathan will require.  He will be in rehabilitation and require special care for many years to come.  <br /><br />The unfortunate circumstances surrounding Nathan’s injuries leave Breanne the only parent able to care for Nathan, and her 3 year old daughter, Emma.  The father is under investigation for intentionally or unintentionally causing these injuries to Nathan. Faced with an uncertain future of support and a mountain of expenses for long term care and major life change, Breanne and the kids need our help. <br /><br />Breanne was a school teacher for years and has a special gift of both love and education, that her children need now, more than ever.  A donation from you will help Breanne focus on Nathan’s recovery and long term care, while providing a stable and supportive environment for her daughter Emma.  We thank you so much for contributing what you can to this amazing woman and these two beautiful children.<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/37614786_1552422092751202_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="37614786_1552422092751202_r.jpeg" />Evening of March 6th - You’ve got this Nathan!<br /><br />All fundraising proceeds will be used exclusively for Nathan’s road to recovery.
