Dreams Deserve a Chance

<div><strong>In Loving Memory of Mico O'Brien</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On the night of May 26, 2025, our beloved Mico, just 18 years old, was tragically taken from us in a devastating car accident caused by a drunk driver. Mico passed away instantly at the scene, leaving our family and community heartbroken.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He was just a week away from graduating high school—full of promise, big dreams, and a bright future ahead. Mico was <strong>kind, joyful, and deeply loved</strong> by everyone who knew him. His smile lit up every room, and his warmth and generosity left a mark on all of our hearts. He was an <strong>intelligent</strong>, <strong>beautiful</strong> <strong>soul</strong> who simply loved life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are starting this GoFundMe to support funeral and memorial expenses, and to help the family navigate this painful and senseless tragedy. Michael and Chraoibhin are now facing not only the cost of laying their son to rest, but also the need to take extended time off work while continuing to care for Mico’s two younger siblings, Miles and Sophie.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No family is ever prepared for this kind of tragedy. If you feel called to give, please know that every donation—no matter the amount—will make a meaningful difference. Even simply sharing this campaign helps more than you know.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Thank you for your love, prayers, and support during this incredibly painful time.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div>On behalf of the O'Brien family - Michael, Chraoibhin, Miles and Sophie ,

In Memory of Mico - With Love & Support

<div>In accordance with Brian’s wishes, we are fundraising to open the Brian Busby Memorial Scholarship Fund to support students interested in raptor biology at SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF). Brian dedicated so much of himself to the study of these magnificent birds, and this scholarship will perpetuate his legacy. We are working with ESF to create this scholarship as soon as possible, but in the meantime, we are accepting donations here. Thank you so much for your support.

<div>Brian remains an incredibly special person in all of our lives, even in his passing. In his final days, Brian assured us that he felt he had lived a great life and that he was not worried about himself, but about those he was leaving behind. He wishes for us all to keep enjoying each day we have with each other and to live our lives to the fullest.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Brian never put off an adventure or turned down an opportunity to spend time with friends. He always saw the best in people and ensured that all those around him felt loved and included. I hope we can all follow his example and make him proud. There is no replacement for the light and the joy that Brian brought into all of our lives, but we can do our best to make our own in his honor.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every time we get to enjoy a powder day on the mountain, a sunny day at the crag, a beautiful hike through the woods, have a large bass on the line, or we spot an eagle soaring overhead, I hope we can be reminded of all the things that Brian held dear and that we keep him alive in our memories and in our hearts. Let's remember him so we can put our best selves forward into the world and live with as much passion for life as he did.

Support the Brian Busby Memorial Scholarship

<div>Hello, my name is Deonte. I was born with spastic cerebral palsy, which means I rely on a wheelchair for mobility. Getting around is difficult, and I depend on wheelchair vans or cabs just to leave the house. The problem is, wheelchair cabs are too expensive, and I can’t afford them regularly.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every day, I wish on a million stars that I could have my own wheelchair-accessible van. With your help, that wish can come true.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve set a goal of **$185,000** because wheelchair-accessible vans are extremely expensive. A reliable, fully customized van that meets all my needs—including a ramp, hand controls, and other modifications—can cost well over $80,000. On top of that, I need to cover additional expenses such as insurance, registration, and maintenance to keep the van in good condition for years to come. This goal will ensure I can afford a safe, dependable vehicle that gives me the freedom to get around on my own.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My sister is helping me by managing the funds, and all donations will go into her bank account. Please know that this is still my money, and it will be used exclusively for my wheelchair-accessible van.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I want to express my deep gratitude to each and every one of you who has donated and will continue to support this cause.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any donation, no matter how small, will bring me closer to making this dream a reality. Even if you can’t donate, sharing this fundraiser would mean the world to me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thanks to your generosity, I will also be able to pay for insurance months in advance.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you all again for your kindness and support! - Had to make changes to the goal to include extra expenses
</div>
<div>This will go towards hiring a driver and extra expenses for if the vehicle brakes down
</div>

<div>Supporting the Youngblood Family in Their Time of Need
</div>
<div>The Youngblood family is reaching out to the community during an unprecedented time of hardship. Our lives were upended by the devastating Eaton Canyon fires in Altadena, California.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This tragedy ravaged our home which my parents purchased over 30 years ago, leaving the family without access to essential items, sentimental possessions, and stability. For over 50 years, we have proudly called the Altadena area home, and now we find ourselves turning to neighbors and friends that we have long cherished for help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Willie Youngblood Jr. a pilar of the Altadena/Pasadena community, has been especially impacted. Willie was a star football athlete at John Muir High School and a graduate of Bacone College in Oklahoma. Although Willie had a promising future in law enforcement, he returned home to Altadena to care for his mother who had fallen sick. Willie's life took a drastic turn after suffering a life-threatening injury due to senseless gun violence that left him paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair. Despite his dedication and determination to adapt, the fire has destroyed the medical equipment and supplies he needs for daily living and rehabilitation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Youngblood family has also faced several devastating losses of immediate family members, particularly the recent of loss our mother, Vickie Youngblood. This recent heartbreak has compounded the emotional and physical toll on the family, particularly on Willie Jr., who must now face his ongoing challenges without his mother’s loving support. We are also in need of support for our elderly father, Willie Sr., as he copes with the physical and emotional strain of these circumstances. Willie Sr. has been there to support his son despite his own serious medical issues and recent loss of his beloved wife of more the fifty years.  
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are humbly asking for assistance to meet our most urgent needs. Willie Jr. requires essential medical supplies, including incontinence care and therapy equipment, to continue his rehabilitation journey. Additionally, rental property is urgently needed to accommodate his healthcare needs while we rebuild our lives 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your generosity can make a significant difference in our ability to recover and rebuild. By extending a helping hand, you provide not only practical assistance but also hope and encouragement to our family in this incredibly challenging time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for considering our plea and for standing by the Youngblood family when we need it most.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From the bottom of our hearts.

<div>Dear Friends, Family, and Kindhearted Strangers,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our father, Walt Butler, has been the heart and soul of Altadena and Pasadena for decades. Known for his unwavering dedication to the community, he built a legacy through his beloved shoe store and endless support for local youth. Whether it was sponsoring youth sports teams, mentoring kids, or simply offering a listening ear, Walt has always been there for others. Walt has always put others first. Would give you the very clothes off his back to help you.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tragically, his home of over 60 years was completely destroyed in the recent fire in Altadena, along with his cherished vehicles and a lifetime of memories. While we are so grateful that he is safe, the loss is devastating. Walt has spent his life giving back, and now he needs our help to rebuild.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are launching this to simply help our father take the first steps toward recovery. The funds will go toward:
</div>
<div>•	Securing temporary housing.
</div>
<div>•	Replacing essential belongings.
</div>
<div>•	Rebuilding his home and replacing his vehicles.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Walt has always been the first to lend a helping hand, and we hope to rally the same love and support he’s shared with so many. Any contribution, big or small, will make a tremendous difference. If you can’t donate, we ask for your prayers, shares, and words of encouragement to lift his spirits during this challenging time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for helping us restore hope for a man who has given so much to so many. Together, we can help Walt rebuild his life and continue his incredible legacy in our community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dad deserves it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sincerely,
</div>
<div>The Children of Walter David Butler
</div>
<div>Tasia Lynne Butler, TreyJohn Butler, Michelle Butler &amp; Nicole Butler

Help Walt get back on his feet after the Devastating Fire

<font color="#333333">Hi.  My name’s Jon.  I have cerebral palsy and am a wheelchair user.  As part of my disability, I use a hospital bed to make daily activities easier and maintain my independence.  Unfortunately, the type of bed that I need isn’t covered by insurance.  As difficult as it is for me, I’m reaching out for help because I’m unable to afford it on my own.  I am so grateful for your generosity.<br /></font>

Help Me Get A New Bed

<div>Hi, I'm John. I feel lucky to have taught and advised Speedy. I feel even more lucky to get to call him a friend today. As many of y'all have now seen on Queer Eye, Speedy is just an incredible young man who has overcome so much while staying positive and focused on his goals.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While Queer Eye was able to help Speedy get his life back on track, Speedy could still use help raising funds for his monthly rent once the year Queer Eye generously funded runs out, ongoing medical costs, and living expenses while he works to get to a place where he can make ends meet on his own. Anything donated goes directly into a joint account that Speedy has access to and he will get to use the money as he sees fit. He is the only one who touches that account. Anything helps; thanks for your support of Speedy!
