<div>Hello, I'm Christine (Bumby) Allen from Barnardsville, NC. I am setting up this gofundme to get help for my neighbors, my family, &amp; I to rebuild our bridge and driveway. Please consider donating to this gofundme to help me rebuild our bridge and driveway.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With days of rain falling before Tropical Storm Helene blew through Western North Carolina on Sept. 27, 2024, Ivy Creek in Barnardsville, NC rose greatly even days before Helene's arrival. With the creek already being higher than usual from the accumulated rainfall that we had received before Helene's arrival, it's arrival caused the already rising Ivy Creek to overflow. This caused damage greater here than any other previous storms the residents of Barnardsville have survived here to date. Many are calling Tropical Storm Helene the 1,000-year storm due to the rainfall we received. The rainfall made Ivy Creek run out of it's banks and washed our beloved little community away. Lots of homes and bridges washed away that early morning in September. We were luckier than many others in our community. Our house survived. PTL! My sister-in-law, my brother-in-law, my niece, my son, my daughter-in-law, and three of my grandchildren were among those who lost their homes to Helene here in our community. They are now living in two tiny campers in my front yard.....which with these low winter temps we have been having, them living in campers has been interesting and very expensive...frozen pipes and just maintaining fuel to keep warm have made daily living a chore for them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As I stated we were lucky that our house survived. But our bridge was not so lucky. My husband, my daughter, my daughter's fiance, our three neighbors and their families, and I have lost our bridge, our only access to our homes, to Helene. PLUS now with my sister-in-law, my brother-in-law, my niece, my son, my daughter-in-law, and three of my grandchildren living in my front yard, they are in need of having our bridge rebuilt to access their homes now also.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have signed up for FEMA assistant and several other places for help to rebuild our bridge and driveway. We have only heard back from FEMA. We have not heard anything back from the other places we have signed up for assistant. In December 2024, we FINALLY received funds from FEMA to help towards rebuilding our bridge and driveway. But the FEMA funds fall extremely short of the cost of rebuilding our bridge and driveway. What we received from FEMA helped replace <strong>some </strong>of the gravel for our driveway and that's about all. <strong>So we are now asking for your support to help us rebuild our bridge.</strong> We are not foreseeing our bridge being rebuilt any other way. If my neighbors, my husband, and myself pull all our resources together, we are still unable to afford to rebuild our bridge without your support. We have received bid proposals to rebuild our bridge. Let's just say we were completely "sticker shocked" with the bid proposals we received!!! With bids as high as $638,000, we'll never be able to afford a bridge at that cost. So <strong>PLEASE</strong> consider supporting us. <strong>Any support you can provide, will be greatly appreciated.</strong> Please help us, if not financially, please share this gofundme to as many people as you possible can. Your help will be appreciated. We have tried several avenues to get help with rebuilding our bridge. This gofundme is the last resort we can think of that may help us afford to rebuild our bridge.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any donation, no matter how small, will make a significant difference. Your donation to this gofundme will help us buy I-beams, concrete, rebar, gravel, heavy equipment, and many other building supplies to rebuild our bridge and driveway.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your kindness and generosity. God Bless you and please keep us in your prayers.

<div>AYUDAME A VENCER EL CÁNCER

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Después de 12 años enfrentando un arduo proceso de diálisis, en el que he tenido que acudir al hospital tres veces por semana para mi tratamiento, hoy mi situación de salud se ha complicado aún más. A pesar de los desafíos, siempre he buscado mantener el ánimo y apoyarme en la medicina tradicional a través de los temazcales, por lo que muchos de ustedes me conocen.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Sin embargo, recientemente me han diagnosticado cáncer, y estoy en un punto crítico donde es urgente someterme a una operación para extirpar un tumor. En los próximos días sabré si el cáncer se ha extendido, pero la cirugía no puede esperar.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Debido a esta situación, no he podido trabajar por más de un mes, y dependiendo de la fecha de la operación, no podré regresar al trabajo por al menos tres meses más. Esto ha generado una presión económica enorme, ya que además de los gastos médicos, debo cubrir los costos de la recuperación, medicamentos, facturas mensuales y necesidades básicas.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Aunque cuento con el apoyo de mi pareja, no tengo familiares cercanos en el área, y esta situación ha superado nuestras posibilidades. Por eso, con toda humildad, recurro a ti para pedir tu ayuda.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Si puedes contribuir económicamente, cualquier cantidad será una bendición en este momento tan difícil. Si no puedes hacerlo, te agradecería enormemente que compartas esta petición con otras personas que puedan apoyarme.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Tu apoyo, ya sea económico o compartiendo este mensaje, será una luz de esperanza para mí en esta lucha. Gracias por estar a mi lado en esta batalla contra la adversidad.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>HELP ME BEAT CANCER

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>After 12 years of battling a challenging dialysis process, during which I have had to go to the hospital three times a week for treatment, my health situation has recently become even more complicated. Despite these challenges, I have always tried to stay positive and have relied on traditional medicine through temazcales, which is how many of you know me.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>However, I was recently diagnosed with cancer, and I am now at a critical point where I urgently need surgery to remove a tumor. In the coming days, I will find out if the cancer has spread, but the surgery cannot wait.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Due to this situation, I have been unable to work for over a month, and depending on the surgery date, I may not be able to return to work for at least three more months. This has created enormous financial pressure, as I not only face medical expenses but also the costs of recovery, medication, monthly bills, and basic necessities.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Although I have the support of my partner, I do not have close family nearby, and this situation has surpassed our resources. That is why, with all humility, I am reaching out to you for help.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you can contribute financially, any amount would be a blessing during this difficult time. If you are unable to do so, I would greatly appreciate it if you could share this message with others who might be able to help.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Your support, whether financial or by sharing this message, will be a beacon of hope for me in this fight. Thank you for standing by my side in this battle against adversity.

</div>

Help Overcome Cancer: Support Needed Now

<div>We are reaching out with love and urgency to rally around our dear friend, Charlie Palaguachi.  Charlie’s journey this year has been one of immense strength, faith, and resilience. In April 2024, he began experiencing leg pain and was soon faced with devastating news: a recurrence of Liposarcoma, a very rare and aggressive cancer. For months, his determination and spirit kept him steady.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But in December, the tumor grew rapidly, threatening his organs and causing unbearable pain and exhaustion. On December 16th, Charlie underwent a grueling 12-hour emergency surgery at Memorial Sloan Kettering. The procedure was incredibly complex due to the tumor’s size and location. The surgeons worked miraculously to detach the tumor from around organs and nerves. The cancer had not spread to the kidney, colon, or liver—great news—but nonetheless, parts of these had to be removed because the tumor was wrapped around them. Charlie received 8 pints of blood. Now, the doctors are optimistic about the success of the surgery and Charlie’s journey to long-term remission. But Charlie faces a long and challenging road to recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We want to ensure Charlie has the time and space to heal fully, without the stress of returning to work prematurely. Recently, he landed a great job driving a city bus in NYC, but his health must come first. Charlie has always been the kind of person who would give you the shirt off his back. Now, it’s our turn to give back to him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation will directly support Charlie as he focuses on healing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Funds will go towards:
</div>
<div>-Medical bills and follow-up care
</div>
<div>-Living expenses during his time off work
</div>
<div>-Essential herbal support for his recovery journey
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please join us in showing Charlie the love and care he has always given so freely. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference. Let’s help Charlie heal and remind him he’s not alone in this fight. Thank you for your generosity and love ❤️
</div>

Ready to Heal, Ready to Live

<div>My name is meg ferrigno, Ph.D., a nonprofit and startup founder, and I am reaching out on behalf of my dear sister and friend, Lella Misikir, who urgently needs your support. Lella and I met in 2016 in China, bonding over yoga, meditation, and vegan food. Over the years, she has welcomed me to her beautiful homeland of Ethiopia, guided me through its vibrant culture, and we have joined forces with me to champion humanitarian causes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since GoFundMe doesn’t operate in Ethiopia, I am managing this fundraiser for her, ensuring that 100% of your donations go directly to Lella.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/84486891_1732903080925936_r.jpeg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Meet Lella</strong>
</div>
<div>Lella is a passionate Wellness Consultant based in Addis Ababa, specializing in yoga, somatic experiencing, and life coaching. A fierce advocate for women’s rights and community wellness, Lella returned to Ethiopia in 2019 after a decade abroad, committed to empowering others. She collaborates with feminist organizations, leads team-building retreats, and produces content to inspire a freer, more equitable society. Her blog and podcast delve into living outside societal conditioning, offering a voice of hope and resilience.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Lella's Activism</strong>
</div>
<div>Lella's activism began during the pandemic as she courageously spoke out against gender-based violence (GBV). Her groundbreaking initiatives include:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>#</strong><a href="https://radioworkshop.org/podcasts/my-whistle-my-voice/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>MyWhistleMyVoice Campaign</strong></a><strong> : </strong>Empowering women to combat street harassment through the use of whistles, which sparked widespread action on college campuses and inspired an ambassador program.
</li>
<li><strong>Social Media Advocacy:</strong> Creating awareness-raising filters that highlight GBV cases, reaching over 73 million views and becoming one of Ethiopia’s most impactful online campaigns.
</li>
<li><strong>Setaset Power Collective:</strong> Joining forces with other activists to champion Ethiopian women’s empowerment.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Crisis</strong>
</div>
<div>In late 2023, Lella shared a video addressing GBV cases and encouraging women to seek safety from abuse. This sparked a targeted online attack by a TikTok influencer, who accused Lella of disrespecting cultural traditions and falsely linked her activism to LGBTQIA+ advocacy—an inflammatory and dangerous claim in Ethiopia, where <em>LGBTQIA+ rights are highly stigmatized and criminalized</em>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This online hate campaign escalated into threats of violence, forcing Lella to deactivate her accounts and leave Addis Ababa for her safety. Misinformation about her continues to circulate, leaving her vulnerable and unable to sustain her vital work.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Help</strong>
</div>
<div>Lella has been forced to relocate and faces mounting expenses for living costs, security, and mental health support. She is determined to rebuild, heal, and continue her impactful work, but she cannot do it alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support will allow Lella to:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Cover immediate living and relocation expenses.
</li>
<li>Access counseling to recover from the trauma of these attacks.
</li>
<li>Regain the strength to continue her fight for women’s rights.
</li>
</ul>
<div>Cost Breakdown:
</div>
<div><em>Flights +$800 (RT)</em>
</div>
<div><em>Rent +$900 (3 mo)</em>
</div>
<div><em>Utilities +$300 (3 mo)</em>
</div>
<div><em>Food +1,200 (3 mo)</em>
</div>
<div><em>Therapy +$1,500 (3 mo)</em>
</div>
<div><em>Digital Security/ Cloud storage +$400</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Stand with Lella</strong>
</div>
<div>Lella’s courage in standing up for what’s right has made a difference in the lives of countless women, but it has come at a significant personal cost. Together, we can show her that she is not alone and that her bravery is valued.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any amount you can contribute will make a profound difference. If you’re unable to donate, please share this campaign with your network to help spread the word.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for standing with Lella in this critical time. Together, we can ensure she emerges stronger than ever, ready to continue her mission of creating a more just and compassionate world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div>meg ferrigno, Ph.D.

Protect Lella's Brave Activism

Help Rebuild a Family's Hope After Disaster

<div>Amidst the devastation and flooding in Ashville, many friends have been affected. The Little Brave family was residing alongside the edge of the Ivy River and was hit incredibly hard. Michael Little Brave, the new clan chief leader, and his wife and five beautiful daughters have had their home wiped away almost entirely. Worse yet, Michael's at-home mechanic shop Little Savage Auto was in the backyard and washed away entirely during the storm. A lifetime of tools, livelihood, bee hives, memories, and daily life essentials have all been decimated. Currently, they are living in a hotel, and this is a family that has taken me in and prayed with and for me for well over a decade. All of them have lost their home and most of their worldly goods. I am setting this up on their behalf in this dire crisis. A final point - insurance won't cover anything as flood insurance is not provided historically in Asheville, NC because it doesn't flood; this is a "1,000-year" flood that has devasted so many - including my good friends and family the Little Braves, a sicangu lakota native family who has always helped so many people for as long as I have known them. Please help as much as you can, or feel free to share.
</div>

Help Support the Little Brave Family after Devastating Flood

<div>Dear relatives from far and wide,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>We’re reaching out with a heartfelt petition and a call to action to support our friend, brother, doctor, and elder, Juani.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Three years ago, Juani was diagnosed with lymphoma. <strong>After several years of different treatments and a brief phase of remission, symptoms have suddenly aggressively returned. </strong>Juani recently had to cancel prayers due to the severe pain he was experiencing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><iframe media_type="0" media_id="jSGE4-58EMs" class="youtube-replace" title="YouTube video player" style="margin-bottom:20px;width:560px;height:315px;" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/jSGE4-58EMs/?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="1"></iframe>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Juani is a devout student and steward of the plants, having spent over 23 years working with spiritual leaders from Brazil, Peru, Colombia, and the Diné wisdom keepers of Turtle Island. He brings with him a truly unique, syncretic style of traditional ecological wisdom and medical techniques that have touched many people he has worked with. His medicine has saved many lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Those who know Juani can attest to his joy for life, his curiosity, and his commitment to leaving the land better than he found it. He’s a gardener, a farmer, a joker, a teacher, a father, a husband, a carpenter, a musician, a surfer, and so much more. He’s a treasure in the lives of those who know him!
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/81609039_1724438941212682_r.jpeg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>After careful deliberation and prayer, Juani and his family have decided it’s time to double down and begin more intensive treatment as the lymphoma progresses.</strong> Doctors at Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) in New York are urging Juani to start as soon as possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Juani will need to be in a quarantine-like situation while he is receiving treatment, meaning he will not be able to work or travel back home easily. Our contributions will help him rest and stay connected with his family during this crucial moment in his healing process. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In Juani’s words, “It’s been three years of living with this condition, and it has brought all kinds of challenges and blessings. I’m ready to leave it behind and move on to the next chapter. I’m exhausted, and even though I’ve always been more apprehensive of conventional treatment than the actual condition, doctors say that the possibilities of remission are very good, and there is an option for a clinical trial, which is in its third phase, that has shown a very high success rate.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/81609039_1724264723198077_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Juani just fulfilled his commitment to Sundance this summer with his community, under the guidance of his Diné grandpa Jake Singer, who has been holding prayers for Juani's life for many years. He's now resolved to begin his treatment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>This is a call to action to Juani’s extensive network of relations and beyond, to bring him greater ease and support during this challenging time. </strong>Juani is husband to Magda and papa to his amazingly bright, funny boy, Samay (4), and has big plans to keep surfing, skating, and adventuring with him. We need him healthy and thriving!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“I want to live, I want to regain my health, my stamina, and my inspiration.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you know Juani, you know it’s not natural for him to make big asks. <strong>We are coming together to raise at least $65,000 to support him, allowing him to rest, focus on recovery, and bond with his family during this challenging time. </strong>Let’s shower him with the blessing of a bunch of cash to help him get through this chapter with ease.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/81609039_1724265354854221_r.jpeg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Magda and Samay will need emergency medical visas to visit Juani while he’s in treatment in NYC for the next year, and we want to ensure their basic expenses are covered. In addition to treatment at MSK, our contributions will cover:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Room and board for Juani, Magda, and Samay in NYC during his treatments
</li>
<li>Travel expenses
</li>
<li>Ozone therapy sessions, intravenous infusions, and supplements to help him post-treatment
</li>
<li>…and most importantly, permission to rest
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In the meantime, (in Juani’s words) “hold a vision of me in your heart, full of colors and beautiful regalia, full of life and medicine on all levels, fulfilling my dream to laugh, play, grow plants, skate, and surf with my kids and my grandkids one day, too.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>In times of hardship, we can truly come together, show up, and support the ones we love with generosity flowing from the heart. Thank you in advance for your support and love!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />

Help Juani Heal and Thrive Again

<div>Since 2015, Earth Guardians has been at the forefront of forest conservation efforts, dedicated to protecting forests worldwide. <a href="https://www.earthguardians.org/crews" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Our Crews program</a> has taken us across the globe, from the lush landscapes of Africa to the vibrant ecosystems of India, Japan, Mexico, and Brazil. Our work has resonated across borders, driven by a trailblazing spirit rooted in youth power, community, and direct action that creates an effective impact.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In Africa, particularly in countries like Togo, Cameroon, Ghana, Benin, and Sierra Leone, we've worked diligently and fruitfully to preserve the rich biodiversity found in the tropical regions. Our latest focus is on Tagba, southern Togo, where we're embarking on a crucial initiative.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/79140571_171460962114016_r.jpeg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Our goal in Tagba is to reforest 10 hectares with 20,000 trees, contributing to restoring a 300-hectare forest ecosystem</strong>. This isn't just about planting trees; it's about empowering Indigenous communities, safeguarding biodiversity, and combating climate change to create a better future for generations to come.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It's about planting hope.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div>What sets us apart from other reforestation projects is our collaborative approach. We work closely with indigenous communities, recognizing their invaluable knowledge and involving them in every step of our projects. To us, communities are not just stakeholders, but one of the key participants in creating lasting change.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>You are also a key participant!</strong>
</div>
<div>You can be a part of our global community and help us continue to create lasting change by contributing to Togo's reforestation efforts.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our goal is $10,000 because a generous grant from The World Rainforest Fund has offered to match up to $10,000 to support our efforts in Tagba, Togo.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>By donating today, you can double your donation and double our impact. Together, we can make a real difference, and it's actually easy to do!</strong>

Planting Hope: Earth Guardians Togo Reforestation Initiative

Earth Guardian Inc.

<div>Dear Family and Friends,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My granddaughter Trinity had a serious accident on Halloween night and has since been in the Intensive Care Unit. Her body was badly injured with a broken femur on the right leg, shattered ankle and foot on the left side, a fractured pelvis, shattered jaw, cracked ribs and broken tailbone, as well as a chip on her C spine. The night of the accident she had a successful surgery on her femur which was protruding through her skin after the accident.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She is back in the Operating Room today, Nov. 6th, to repair multiple fractures. She will have her final surgery Thursday, Nov. 9th, on her jaw to begin her recovery. She will need multiple surgeries down the road to remove hardware that has been placed to help stabilize her limbs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The surgery she is undergoing today will give her the best chance of having some sort of normalcy back in her life. She will be rehabilitating for the next year and won't be able to walk for several months. Her jaw will be wired shut for the next month so she will be on a liquid diet.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are asking friends, family and community to please consider supporting her through financial contributions while she is in her recovery period which include:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>-Rent and living expenses $1,500 monthly X 6 months so she doesn't lose her home; totaling $9,000
</div>
<div>-The medical costs will be in the millions and after her insurance coverage, the portion she and her family will be responsible for will well exceed $200,000.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Medical Staff have shared that it's truly a miracle that she survived this accident. Trinity has been the family's miracle baby since birth, coming into the world two and a half months before her due date and spending three months in the hospital before making it home into the arms of her Mama.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your continued prayers. Any and all financial support would be deeply appreciated. I will be sending updates through this platform every few days, so you can follow her recovery.

Trinity's Medical Bills and Recovery

<div>Indigenous climate activist, artist, musician, and father Jacob Johns was shot in the chest this morning, Sept 28.2023, during a No Juan de Oñate statue peaceful prayer ceremony in Tewa territory (more commonly known as Española, New Mexico). Jacob put his body between women and children when the shooter charged towards the altar. Jacob prevented the shooter from harming women and children. The shooter attempted to fire again but his gun jammed preventing him from committing a mass shooting of indigenous peoples while they were in prayer and ceremony. He was air-lifted to a hospital in Albuquerque, and had surgery. The shooter, who was wearing a red MAGA hat, is in custody of tribal police. We ask everyone to please pray with us that he survives this surgery and doctors have’ the strength and wisdom to help him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jacob, who is Hopi and Akimel O'odham, has dedicated his life to Indigenous and climate justice. He is a skilled muralist and speaker, and specializes in non-violent, peaceful “artivism”. He has a teenage daughter, she and his other family are currently flying from Washington State to Albuquerque New Mexico to be by his side.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This inspirational man has put his life on the line over and over again to make a better world for his fellow humans, and now he and his family need your support to recover from this terrible hate crime. As you can imagine, being a climate activist is not lucrative work to readily afford major life-saving surgery. We are humbly requesting your donations to help cover his recovery, his medical bills, and to help support his family needs during what will likely be a very lengthy recovery period. This comes just two months before Jacob will be leading an Indigenous Wisdom Keepers Delegation at COP28 to advocate for Indigenous solutions to climate change. Please pray with us for his recovery and donate if you can.

Help Jacob Johns Recover from Terrorist Shooting

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Greetings dear friends and family - I created this fundraiser on behalf of my family after incurring many extreme and hardly natural hardships the past few years. We most recently experienced a fire in our home, losing our shelter and many of our belongings after only being there just short of a month. This has demanded us to find an immediate rental in a very high and competitive market. Our lives and home have been impacted greatly through the years bringing us to a place of having to slow what we do for others while completely resetting how we do things. This is really important so that our service is not self sacrificing which is not in alignment with true service or the Sacred. I am reaching out, after much encouragement, to ask for the support we need so we can move through this - out of isolation and in shared love and community. It is a beautiful, powerful, humbling upgrade on the inner realms. We are updating lifetimes and it is bringing such beautiful and powerful medicine so we can better serve you all and also serve our family; freeing and healing not only us, but also our ancestors and descendants along the way. The financial goal includes replacing our home and making the healing support accessible as we work to rebuild, cover and strengthen both our inner and outer foundation. I know these are challenging times for many. Harvey and I are so grateful and appreciative for all of the love from ones near and far. We have spent most of our 21 years together in service to the people and the earth. We are living and growing to be in more healthy balance within and with the greater whole. It is all deeply humbling and even though our hearts have been tested, we are strong in faith and trust in love and grace. We look forward to continue serving the greater community in the light and beauty of the Great Spirit as our family recovers through this healing. May you all be blessed and supported in all that is moving for you and your families in this time and may your generosity be returned tenfold. In pure love Mary Frances (Fansea)

Family emergency

<div>Dear GoFundMe community and friends of Earth Guardians,
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>We’re writing with a personal request close to our hearts. As you probably know, Earth Guardians is a nonprofit organization that trains and empowers youth to be effective leaders at the intersections of environmental and climate justice. We’re writing to ask you to join our network of friends and family with a generous donation via our crowdfunding campaign. <strong>Our crowdfunding goal is to raise $15K. </strong>
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>Every donation helps us gain momentum to spread the word, which gets more eyes and support for this crowdfunding campaign.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>Earth Guardians needs your help to support this youth-led movement! With ambitious and impactful goals to have a Regional Director training in Africa by the year's end, we have doubled our operating budget and are facing a financial challenge. Far less can be done unless we get support from new sources soon. That’s why we are appealing to you for your help!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To see what kind of impact your contribution can make, I want to share with you a little more about our accomplishments in 2021 through today:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong> So far from 2021 to 2022:</strong>
</div>
<div>● Sent 6 youth to COP26 to speak on panels and at rallies and events
</div>
<div>● Provided $56k in project grants to EG global Crews grassroots work, including mass tree plantings, eco-fashion events, pipeline resistance &amp; divestment actions, soil regeneration, food sovereignty initiatives, mutual aid, climate justice educational seminars and more
</div>
<div>● Hosted 19 virtual educational leadership development trainings
</div>
<div>● Hosted 3, 5-day trainings for: Speakers Bureau, Indigenous Youth &amp; Youth Leadership
</div>
<div>● Our public speakers spoke at 50+ major public events
</div>

</div>
<div>● Distributed 10 million dollars of PPE to 380 Native Tribes.
</div>
<div>● Completed an equity assessment and shifted a predominately white adult staff of 5 to a majority
</div>
<div>BIPOC youth-led staff of 9 with adult mentorship.
</div>
<div>● Created a library of virtual educational resources to support crews in project planning and direct action
</div>
<div>● Organized a huge global day of action called Choose Action Now
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Earth Guardians accomplished this and so much more with our 61 active youth Crews across 6 continents. And all of this on a budget of less than $500k! In the next three months, before year-end, Earth Guardians must raise $136,000 to support:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Round 2 of our Project Grants program–supporting global crews for projects from mass tree-planting, divestment direct actions to ocean plastic clean-ups: 
</div>
<div>• Regional Director training in Africa–ensuring that 12 EG regional leaders receive leadership training and time to develop a strategic plan: 
</div>
<div>• Crew monitoring–helps us support our global crews
</div>
<div>• General Admin and salary costs– which supports 11 staff (9 BIPOC, 9 youth) who are running the Choose Action Now Campaign and much more
</div>
<div> 
</div>

</div>
<div><strong>Please join us to support and reach even more front-line youth, who are actively impacted by, confronting, and creating solutions to the climate crisis in their communities through resilience measures, community building, soil regeneration and food sovereignty, public protest, and showing up to actively influence public policy at every level.</strong>

<div> 
</div>
<div>We will make it closer to our fundraising goal with your donation. Join us here.

The Power of the Youth Voice

<div>Please check out this video that encapsulates Juani's bright spirit, and please read the message below to learn more about what our funds will be going towards in supporting Juani...<br /><br /><iframe media_type="0" media_id="gmVL2RRQBSw" class="youtube-replace" title="YouTube video player" style="margin-bottom:20px;width:560px;height:315px;" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/gmVL2RRQBSw/?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="1"></iframe>

<div><em>My dear relatives, we have come to a very special moment in the ceremony…</em><br /><br /><br />As you likely have heard by now, our dear brother, teacher, mentor, doctor, and friend Juani finds himself in the midst of a challenging passage as he was recently diagnosed with lymphoma.  Last month, he sent out a message to the community to inform us of what is going on, how he is orienting himself for this healing process, and to ask for our support.  (Click this <a href="https://mailchi.mp/7348e137463f/tough-news-and-prayer-needs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LINK</a>  to read that letter here, if you haven’t already).<br /><br /><br />As he often says, the circles he facilitates are laboratories, and life is the real ceremony.  So this  ‘very special moment’ that we have come to is our opportunity to show up in a big way for him, and give him a level of support that will really make a difference in his ability to heal himself.  If you are reading this, you most likely are part of the wide and vast community of people that have been impacted by Juani, his work, and the prayer of his life.  There are countless people with countless stories of how our lives and health and relationships have been changed for the better due in large part to this man and his work.  And if we all come together in this moment to offer a bit of support, we can help take care of certain things for him so he can turn all of his attention and energy towards bringing his body and mind into the optimal state for his complete wellness.<br /><br /><br />We are seeking to raise $40,000 as a way to totally cover his financial needs for the next 6 months.  Due to the work he does, it is really important that he is able to take a sabbatical during this time in order to take care of himself, and we want him to be able to do that without the weight of not knowing how to provide for his family.  This money will cover his overall life expenses (food and shelter for him, his partner Magda, and their beautiful son Samay), as well as the new costs that are specific to his treatments which we would like to share some details about below:<br /><br /><br />-Macrobiotic diet: He is currently working with a macrobiotic practitioner an a diet specifically designed for aiding in the healing of lymphoma. Not only does this diet require a good amount of expensive and not-so-easy-to-source ingredients, but it requires a great deal of time to prepare everything on a daily basis.  We are hoping these funds will allow him to hire someone to help him with this a few days a week.<br /><br />-Supplements, minerals, and naturopathic herbs<br /><br />-Intravenous vitamin treatments 3x/week<br /><br />-Trips to the U.S. every 2/3 months to meet with his team of specialists at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center<br /><br />-An experimental new treatment utilizing the mistletoe plant<br /><br />We also would like to share that Juani is under the care of Jake Singer, an indigenous elder from the Diné people who has been running tipi meetings and sweats for Juani for many years and who is supporting him with prayer as well as specific healing herbs.<br /><br /><br />We will post updates and make any necessary alterations as this process unfolds.  We are incredibly grateful for any contribution you are able to give, and we ask you to please pass this fundraiser along to other friends and family that know Juani or may have seen the ripples of his work through your daily life. <br /><br /><br />Please continue to pray for Juani in the way he has specifically asked: “Hold a vision of me in your heart full of colors and beautiful regalia, full of life and medicine in all levels, fulfilling my dream to laugh, play, grow plants, skate, and surf with my kids and my grandkids one day, too.”<br /><br /><br />Thank you, let’s do this familia!
