<div>
 With a broken heart, we are asking family, friends, and community for support following the tragic loss of Dale, a beloved dad and papa, who was killed while performing his crossing guard duties.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 To the children and parents he greeted with a smile daily, he was much more than just a crossing guard. His smile and friendly, positive presence brought joy to everyone who encountered him. He took great pride in his role serving the City of Meriden.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Above all else, he was a loving father to Shauna and Olivia, and a devoted papa to his granddaughters, Liliana and Karsyn. His girls were his greatest joy, and his love for them immense.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Because he had only recently begun his crossing guard position in August, he was not eligible for union assistance with funeral and service expenses, which now fall on his daughters. We are raising funds to help his family provide him with the farewell he deserves during this heartbreaking time.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Any funds raised beyond the cost of his services will support his granddaughters and their future and to assist in replacing the after-school care he provided to Karsyn.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Every donation, regardless of size, will make a meaningful difference. If you are unable to contribute, sharing the fundraiser and keeping Dale's family in your thoughts and prayers would mean the world to us.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 The girls and I thank you for your kindness, compassion, and generosity. Dale's life was taken far too soon, but the warmth, humor, smiles, and love he shared will live on through his daughters, granddaughters, family, friends, and anyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

Honoring a Beloved Father, Papa, & Crossing Guard

<div>On the morning of December 31st the Richardson family's beloved daughter, Lisa, tragically and suddenly passed away at home.

</div>

<div>For anyone who has had the honor of knowing Lisa, you know that she was a beacon of kindness and is truly irreplaceable. Lisa has touched the souls of so many through her work in the service industry, yoga, and love of music. Her energy and light will forever be missed in every room.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>No family should ever have to plan for the burial of their child, and that weight is an unimaginable burden in such an already devastating time for the Richardson family.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>In an effort to help navigate the next steps, we kindly ask you to help the family with funeral and arrangement costs.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Any contribution or share is greatly appreciated. All funds will go directly toward supporting the family.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for your kindness and support.

Support for the Richardson Family’s Loss

<div>My name is Jessica Gardner. I have created this fundraiser in hopes that you will help me raise money for my very dear friend Franchesca Wiggins and her family. Franchesca was involved in a hit and run car accident on Saturday 5/04 around 7:30am. She was in the slow lane attempting to get off the highway when another vehicle sped from the left lane and attempted to cut her off. The other vehicle hit her and left the scene. She was run off the road and rolled over the barrier and hit a tree. Her car landed on its side. Franchesca was trapped by the seatbelt and suspended in the air with her legs pinned in the door for 25 minutes before being removed from the vehicle by emergency personnel.

<div><br />
</div>
<div>She is now suffering from a lacerated liver, bowel necrosis, two shattered ankles, fractured femurs, a broken arm, and fractured lumbar &amp; cervical vertebrae. She’s undergone several lengthy surgeries so far with a few more schedule in the near future. After her neck, back, arm and femurs heal she will begin her long journey of physical therapy to learn to walk again at an outpatient rehab. Her husband Rashard and their two children Riley and Reed will be facing a difficult time without the pillar of their family.

<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have created the fundraiser, but the beneficiary will be Franchesca Wiggins. All funds raised will go directly to her and her family. The money will be put towards any uncovered medical bills as well as a new apartment. Due to her injuries, her family is forced to move to accommodate her new medical needs. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Franchesca is the type of person to drop everything to help a friend in need. Please help me show her that same love and provide for her family while she no longer can.

The Wiggins Family Needs Your Help

<div>This fundraiser is in support of my son, Nathaniel “Butch” Rabe, who was recently diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer. This cancer is exceedingly rare and aggressive, one of the deadliest cancers in the world today.<br /><br />For nearly 20 years, Nate has specialized in enhancing and customizing high-performance European cars. The pandemic was brutal on his business, so he sought to make a career change. As he was transitioning to a promising, new career, Nate fell ill and was diagnosed with this exceedingly rare and deadly cancer.<br /><br />His best option for treatment is with Memorial Sloane Kettering (MSK) Cancer Center in New York City, a global leader in rare and advanced esophageal cancers.<br /><br />As Nate underwent what was to be a two-hour procedure at MSK to insert a Medi port for chemotherapy and conduct a fourth endoscopy to collect additional biopsies of the tumor area, this incredible surgeon performed a Laparoscopy to look at the esophagus from the outside and abdominal cavity, uncovering sepsis; an undiagnosed, life-threatening, abdominal infection that nearly ended his life. This two (2) hour outpatient procedure turned into an 8-day hospital stay! Not one of his many blood tests, Endoscopies, Ultra Endoscopies, MRIs, CT scans, PET Scans, or X-Rays showed any abdominal issues. Nate was told he could have died in an hour or two from sepsis! His surgeon coordinated a team of four (4) departments prioritizing care for this complex case!<br /><br />This picture shows a healthy, happy 41-year-old Nate prior to his illness.<br /><br />A gifted craftsman and lover of the environment, Nate is also a great Dad with a cool personality! He has always enjoyed the outdoors. An avid motorcycle rider and hiker, Nate now shares these enjoyable experiences with his son.<br /><br />Nate has a year or more of challenging, expensive, lengthy, and intense medical treatment, including extensive chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunology, and multiple surgeries.<br /><br />His personal and medical expenses are mounting because he is unable to work due to the seriousness of his condition. Nate is not eligible for the usual support programs such as FMLA or disability.<br /><br />Thank you to those of you who have continued to send your positive thoughts and prayers throughout his challenges. Together we can help Nate recover his strength and ease his financial concerns!<br /><br />If you are able and so moved, please help Nate with his medical as well as his medical-related personal and business expenses. A personal gift of any size would be greatly appreciated.<br /><br />With the utmost love and gratitude from a mother, grandmother, colleague, and friend!

Help Nate Beat Stage 4 Cancer!

<div>Hello Family and Friends,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is with sadness that we tell you, our dear friend Sonya Plocharczyk is quite ill.  It has been determined that Sonya is in need of a liver transplant due to liver cancer.  Thankfully, she has been approved, is on the active liver transplant list and is looking for a living organ donor.  She has been battling this illness for years and is unable to work outside or even inside her home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sonya is active in many charitable events and gave generously.  She is a selfless, warm and caring person. She also is proud, private and financially responsible.  Family and friends stepped up to support her, but being unable to work, the current costs and projected price of the procedure and recovery are insurmountable.  We hope you consider contributing to Sonya's fund so we can give back to a great person who gave so much to so many.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your support!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Team Sonya

Sonya Plocharczyk Liver Transplant

I've been left with no other option but to ask for help. My 4 year old dog is suffering from major spinal problems and needs back surgery (hemilaminectony) immediately or he will become fully paralyzed. I've been denied an application to care credit and there's literally nowhere else I can turn. I can't let him suffer and I can't let him die. I hate asking for help but this isn't for me and he can't exactly ask for help. Please anything to help my best friend.
