 Hi, I’m Zack. I want to tell you about my best friend
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 <strong>30 Years</strong> ago my best friend was born with half a heart. After going through many open heart surgeries as a baby, he lived a pretty normal life.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 <strong>3 Years</strong> ago he went into heart failure and the journey to get a new heart started. His entire life took a 180 onto a path none of us could have planned for. After countless surgeries, hospital visits, and experiences I can’t even begin to put into words, he got on the heart transplant list.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 <strong>3 Weeks</strong> ago we made it. We were driving down to the Cape for a fun weekend, sitting in bridge traffic, when Brett finally got the call that they have a heart for him. We immediately turned around as he was telling everyone the good news. Somewhere between the constant texts and phone calls pouring in, we drove past a billboard for the new Spiderman movie and he exclaimed, “Aww I’m not going to be able to see Spider Man in theaters!”. When we got to the hospital, I took the above selfie as Brett was being prepped to go into surgery. By the following day, with a full heart, he took his first full breath since he was born and achieved a blood oxygen level he’s never had before.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 <strong>Today</strong> Brett’s still recovering in the ICU. Brett’s congenital heart defect means that this wasn’t a swap, it was an upgrade. And with that has come a longer recovery than expected. Brett’s mom, Lori, has had to take time off of work to be with him in the hospital and provide care after he’s able to go home. Brett has now been asleep for 3 weeks post-transplant with every day being full of new challenges, set backs, surgeries, and an indescribable emotional rollercoaster of highs and lows.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 <strong>The Future</strong> though is full of a lot of hope because Brett is still steady on, currently stable, and progressing through every complication like the tank that he is. We are not sure when he will be waking back up but we predict a long road ahead until he's finally back to 100% and can resume his life, career, and financial independence. <strong>He's so close and finally over the main humps!</strong>
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 It is very uncomfortable and rough to ask for help but the loss of income and daily commuting costs between Worcester and Boston is becoming difficult to manage. If any of you are able to support them, I can promise you it will go to a brother of mine that brings belly laughs and good vibes to those around him that can’t be matched.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 If you've had the luxury to know Brett you know he's one of the real ones that really makes you the best version of yourself. I couldn’t be more excited for him to finally start living his life at 100%. Doing things each day that he’s only dreamed of and enriching everyone’s lives around him for a lifetime to come.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Thank you, truly whether you donate or not, for reading this and we thank you for giving Brett any prayers or thoughts that you can.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 With immeasurable gratitude and love to the doctors and nurses at Mass General and everyone that's helped us so far,
</div>
<div>
 <br>

Supporting Brett's family with funeral expenses

<div>Hey everyone! It's 2026 and we're doing another Gamecat Meetup --- this time in Vegas! We can't wait to see you there (or film everything that happens and share it with everyone who can't be there with us). It's gonna be expensive though, and as you know, <strong>Without Parole is more of a passion project than a successful business</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We got a great deal on rooms, but we're flying in from all over the country (and Myles is coming from even further), we're attending expos, and basically have plans every day of the meetup  -- plus we rented a room just to do a live Gamescast!   
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So thank you in advance for all of your support. We can't do this without you &lt;3
</div>

Help Fund the 2026 Gamecat Vegas Adventure!

<div>Hey everyone! We're starting to gear up for the 2024 Gamecat Meetup in Boston. It's taking place during the same dates as PAX EAST so we can all hang out, roam the halls, rest our feet while playing some Mario Kart, and have somewhere to hang out together!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But it's getting really expensive. And the cost <strong>MIGHT actually keep one or two of my co-hosts from being able to make it</strong> to the show. Plus I desperately want to rent a PAX panel room and do a <strong>LIVE EPISODE of PSVR Gamescast Live IN PERSON</strong> - which of course we'll broadcast live on the channel for anyone who can't make it to the Meetup.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We totally understand that times are tough for everyone and we certainly don't want anyone giving who can't or shouldn't be. But for those who can help, we'd really appreciate it. And if we can make it all happen the way we envision it and get all 4 of the Without Parole crew to Boston, it'll be a dream come true!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The $5,000 goal is a pipedream, and probably not nearly what we need.  But regardless of how much we raise it'll be put to good use, we promise.  Thank you &lt;3

My sister Amy Burkhalter &amp; her family have fallen on hard times and could really use our help. Their financial burdens stem from heaps of medical bills due to several uncontrollable &amp; unforeseen circumstances from the past couple years. They just can’t seem to get a break. Many of you know my sister from her long career as a daycare teacher at Rainbow. She has lovingly and passionately taught the kids in our community and has devoted her life to rearing amazing citizens, both at work and home. Her husband Todd has also always worked long, hard hours to help provide for their family of 4. About a year &amp; a half ago, Amy got appendicitis and had to have emergency surgery to remove the infected appendix. Despite having insurance, the bills started to mount but this was only the beginning. A slight mishap during the procedure caused more issues so she had to return to the hospital and was out of work for longer than expected. That same year, Todd was in a motorcycle accident on his way to work when a truck ran a stop sign. The impact catapulted him over the truck and he ending up tearing both rotator cuffs. Todd’s job requires manual labor and he was out of work for a long time while going through extensive surgeries and rehab. He went back to work as soon as possible but has continued to suffer with pain and numbness in his hands from the nerve damage. Even though the accident wasn’t his fault, the insurance companies won’t pay out until he’s done with treatment and the case is completely settled so they have had to take out loans and refinance their mortgage just to stay afloat. You would never know this without being very close to them because neither of them ever complain or ask for help. They also do everything in their power to give their kids the best life and make sure they are able to pursue their passions. To try and catch up on bills, Amy works a second job teaching at the YMCA while Todd works overtime whenever possible and takes side jobs plowing in the winter. This past week, after plowing snow with his 4-wheeler, Todd was riding home out in the country when something on the 4 wheeler went awry. It started to shake and Todd tried to maintain control but it veered into the ground and launched into a steep culvert. The 4 wheeler flipped down the embankment, rolling over multiple times. Luckily Todd was able to get out from under it and walked home to call Amy for help. Not wanting to pay for an ER visit due to the cost, he ignored Amy’s insistence to see the doctor that night. The next morning he went in and they rushed him to emergency surgery to put a tube in his lungs to remove fluid. He had broken several ribs and his scapula! Despite his condition, he was still more concerned about the fact that it was about to be the snowstorm of the season and he wouldn’t be able to make extra money snowplowing. Todd has been in the ICU recovering the past couple days and may need additional surgery. I want to do everything in my power to help relieve the financial burden that has plagued this family so they can focus on healing instead of stressing about bills. I know we all have stuff going on but if you could please see it in your heart to donate something to this cause, it would mean the world to my family. Every little bit helps. Thank you so much and God Bless. Love,Sarah Reister
