<div>Hi all: I'm Brenda Rogokos, a dear family friend to Oscar (Kay Sedia) and Daron Quintero. You may have heard that Oscar has been very ill for the last month. What should have been a simple procedure has turned into an unresolved, ongoing medical situation that requires additional time and procedures to resolve. Unfortunately, Oscar (Kay Sedia) has had to cancel all work which has led to a financial hardship.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please consider donating any amount you can to help Oscar (Kay Sedia) and the family stay afloat until Oscar (Kay Sedia) is back on their feet.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With much love, Brenda
</div>

Donate to Oscar (Kay Sedia)'s Healing Journey

<div>Rise will be donating 25% of our bar sales to Xavier’s family to help cover the costs of his funeral and transportation back to Texas. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In times like this, we all feel restless and want to do something, and that has been no exception here. We have received a number of questions if there’s anything you can do to help. We (Rise) intend to fill in any gaps but based on the number of you that have reached out we figured this GoFundMe was a good idea to provide that outlet. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a reminder, please join us this Sunday at Rise from 6-9 to Celebrate the life of Xavier. If you have any photos you would like included in our slide show please DM our social accounts. 
</div>
<div><br />

<div>Dear friends, acquaintances, and fellows of Facebook,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On July 30th, I was presented with some unexpected life changing news. I was diagnosed with cancer. Cancer of my immune system. Nodular sclerosis classic Hodgkin’s Lymphoma; Stage 2B, to be precise. The resulting tumor was also causing pesky problems such as Superior Vena Cava Syndrome, blood clots, hypothyroidism, and several other related issues.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since August I have had three chemotherapy infusions and been hospitalized three times for infection, fevers, low blood pressure and other complications arising from treatment. As a result, I have had to forgo the travel and work for which I had been scheduled. The side effects and blood clots currently limit my work capacity. In addition, one of my biopsy surgeries did not heal properly, leaving my arm painful and lacking its former strength and flexibility.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When I first embarked on my trip to Oregon, I knew something grand was in store for me. Would I fall in Love? Secure a career? Possibly make an appearance on American Idol? I was hopeful. As it were, I wouldn’t land in the Northwest for nearly three years. By that time, Love had become Whatever, America rediscovered Justin Bieber, and my McJob refused to cover travel to their Portland market. So, in May 2022, I decided to foot the bill, drive up to spend the summer working, and sleep in my car. I would exercise and shower at Planet Fitness, occasionally camp or stay in hostels, and hopefully crash with a friend once in a while.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Though I had expected and been well-prepared for it as a healthy person, not having stable housing, a private restroom, or consistent access to nutritious/affordable food has been one of the biggest challenges in protecting my now vulnerable immune system. Don’t get me wrong, I never go hungry, but the lack of a kitchen/fridge/toaster oven makes meal planning tricky sometimes. I am fortunate enough to have 1-2 friends who share their space with me when they can.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cancer is a bitch that requires nutrition, hygiene, good sleep, and social and emotional support to heal from it effectively. I have been handling my regiment very well thus far, but I do not expect this blessing to last forever. With this in mind, my best options for the remainder of the current 6-month treatment plan are:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>1) Stay in Oregon through winter and find stable housing/lodging
</div>
<div>2) Move back to New Jersey, where my primary support system is, and find treatment and receive Stabile housing (see what I did there)
</div>
<div>3) A blend of the first two which would require a lot of cross-country travel.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It has become apparent that I am in a bit of a pickle. I used to be the kind of person who would go to three different stores to find the best price on peaches or eggplant to make a meal. However, I can’t afford that stress right now, nor the energy of finding places to cook/store food, and since organic peaches are $4.00/lb here, I can’t afford them either.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So, at this point, I ask you, my dear friends, to please consider donating to my cancer recovery fund. Your donation will be used towards food and rent or lodging. Or, for the cross-country travel/vehicle costs and storage depending on how my treatment goes. And gasoline, am I right? Or one of the many other exciting and unique bills I never thought I’d be paying, yet are presenting themselves at this time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your time and consideration. I will greatly appreciate any contributions, and I intend to post updates along the way and some songs and other things to show my gratitude.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you and much Love,
</div>
<div>Yours truly,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Beltane, Frank Stabile
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>P.S.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Non-monetary contributions are welcomed and encouraged. I Love flowers, cards, meals, gas/gift cards, chocolate, etc., but I don’t have an address at the moment. If you are considering a monetary donation and want to avoid the processing fees, you can donate to my Venmo or Cashapp. Thank you.

Homeward Bound for Cancer Treatment

<div>Hi, my name is Grady Bowman and I'm fundraising to help produce my latest dance work, "Before We Go," at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts (my alma mater). Due to the pandemic, this will be the first time I've created my own work in two and a half years. To say that the creative juices and inspiration have been bubbling and brewing and are ready to explode would be an understatement. That's why I'm going big and that's why, for the first time, I'm asking for help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm trying to raise <strong>$3,000</strong>. However, this is just <strong>1/3 of the budget</strong>. I will be contributing $3,000 of my own money and crossing fingers &amp; toes that UNCSA will fund another $3,000. The total of $9,000 will be used to purchase several architectural set pieces from <a href="https://molodesign.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong><em>molo design</em></strong></a>. These pieces will create the world the dancers inhabit but even more than that, the nature of their design will allow for physical interaction and movement between dancer and design.

<div><strong>MORE ABOUT THE PIECE</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>"Before We Go" will be an exploration of life and the contemplation of death. The things we collect and carry with us as well as the things we leave behind. How we as individuals are shaped by the people we meet along the way and the experiences - significant or otherwise - that teach us, inspire us, scare us, or move us into a completely different trajectory. The thought of what we might leave behind once we move on from this material world. The reflection as we look back and wonder how we might be remembered, what we'll be remembered for, or if we'll even be remembered at all.

<div><strong>MORE ABOUT ME</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Self promotion has always been hard and awkward for me; it's a necessary evil that I've had to embrace but has never quite sat well in my bones. So instead of me going on about myself, here's my <a href="https://www.gradymcleodbowman.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong><em>website</em></strong></a>. If you'd like to explore more about me and my past work - you'll find it all there. I will, however, leave you with my latest reel. Thank you so much for your time and consideration. Keep reading below to find out about the incentives for contributing.

</div>
<div><strong>INCENTIVES</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As I've said before, asking for help - especially in the form of money - is a new and scary concept for me. I'm trying to create something bigger than I've ever attempted or dreamed of before. Having your support in any form would mean the absolute world to me. That's why I've created these incentives - to try and show my appreciation and love for your support.
</div>

<li>Anyone who graciously donates <strong>ANY AMOUNT</strong> will get a personal thank you note from myself and updates throughout the process
</li>
<li><strong>$100+ :</strong> Personal thank you, updates throughout the process, and name will be listed as a Contributor in the program
</li>
<li><strong>$500+ :</strong> Personal thank you, updates throughout the process, name will be listed as a Producer in the program, 2 tickets to see the piece performed live in Winston Salem, NC April 21-24
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The cool thing about returning to my alma mater is that I get to collaborate, create, and give back to the students who are exactly where I once was. Actually, that's the best part. To create something where there once was nothing is one of the most exhilarating feelings I've ever experienced as an artist. If you've gotten this far, thank you again for taking the time to read and for considering a contribution.

Help Grady Produce His Newest Dance Piece

<div>Help horror legend Mark Patton, in his fight for wellness.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hi, my name is Ida— Mark Patton’s niece.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Many of you know my uncle Mark from his iconic role as Jesse Walsh in A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge. Over the years, he’s become a powerful figure in the horror community and a trailblazer for LGBTQ+ representation in film. But to me, he’s simply Uncle Mark — kind, generous, funny, and full of heart.
</div>
<div>Right now, he needs our help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mark is currently battling serious health conditions:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>•	Severe long COVID that has deeply impacted his energy and mobility
</div>
<div>•	HIV, which complicates his recovery and requires constant care
</div>
<div>•	Ménière’s disease, a chronic condition that causes intense, daily vertigo, nausea, and hearing loss
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These illnesses have made it impossible for Mark to work or travel, and he is now struggling to cover basic living and medical expenses as he is bed bound. Despite everything, he remains hopeful, but the reality is: he needs support to get through this.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We're asking for help to cover:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>•	Ongoing medical treatments and medications
</div>
<div>•	Rent, groceries, and essential bills
</div>
<div>•	At home care
</div>
<div>•	Daily support so he can rest and recover without financial fear
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mark has given so much over the years — through his performances, his honesty about his journey as an HIV+ gay man in Hollywood, and his love for his fans. Now it’s our turn to give back.
</div>
<div>If you’re a fan, a friend, or someone whose life has been touched by Mark’s story, please consider donating or sharing this campaign.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are endlessly grateful for your love and support.
</div>
