<div>
 We are Jon Katz and Maria Wulf, two artists, writers, and bloggers seeking $7,000 to bring our blogs together. We write and share our lives on Bedlam Farm, a farm in upstate New York where we live and work.
</div>
<div>
 My blog tells the story of a life; it was inspired by E.B. White, a famous New Yorker writer, and his life in rural Maine.
</div>
<div>
 I write about rural life in Cambridge, New York, and more. As a journalist, I worked in Boston, Philadelphia, and Washington, then as a producer for CBS News's Morning News. I've written 25 books, 5 of them NY Times bestsellers. I love blogging.
</div>
<div>
 Maria began her successful blog before we married 20 years ago. I have thousands of readers every day. So does she.
</div>
<div>
 Maria is a fiber artist who has a studio behind the house on our farm. She has sold thousands of quilts, potholders, pillows, and lately, meditation mats.
</div>
<div>
 Our blogs have grown in parallel; it's time to bring them together. That is exciting but complex and expensive.
</div>
<div>
 We have lots of readers between us, and we are seeking help to merge our two blogs.
</div>
<div>
 Thanks for reading this, and if possible, helping. We have raised a score of wish lists and GoFundMe campaigns for others, and we are excited to ask for help ourselves.
</div>
<div>
 We believe this will also benefit our readers, who can read our work in one place. They have urged us to do this.
</div>
<div>
 We both write about our farm and our lives, and about many other things. I am a photographer as well as a writer; Maria has her own interests: nature, our sheep and other animals, and, most importantly, her art, which people all over the country and some of the world have purchased.
</div>
<div>
 We are happy to have a new famous Barn Cat named Zip, seven sheep, three dogs, two donkeys, and two hens. We write about them all the time.

Bringing Jon and Maria’s Blogs Together

<div>Hi everyone, my name is Spencer.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’ve been working with and rehabilitating behavioral and medical dogs since I was sixteen years old. Before that, I came from a difficult home situation that eventually placed me in foster care — where I wasn’t even allowed to pet my own dog. From as far back as I can remember, I’ve always wanted to work with animals, and when I turned sixteen, I finally got the chance. That’s when I adopted my first dog, Señor. He’s almost five now and absolutely thriving.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>When I first got Señor, everyone told me not to — that I couldn’t handle it. But I’m so glad I didn’t listen. He’s been with me through everything. When I aged out of foster care at eighteen, it was just the two of us. I didn’t have a car, a license, or even much to my name — just my phone, some clothes, and my dog. The community really helped me get on my feet, especially one incredible woman (who I’ll keep anonymous for privacy) who helped me get my license, my business registration, and even guided me through rescuing and rehabilitating over 30 animals so far.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Recently, I decided to take the next step and invest in a van to convert into a permanent, affordable home for myself and my dogs. Living in a van full-time is something people all over the world do to reduce expenses and live more freely — but unfortunately, mine wasn’t finished in time for me to move out. I’ve been bouncing around with my dogs in an unfinished van, and while they love the adventure, it’s been tough.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I did try renting for a few months, but between rent, insurance, the van payment, and vet care for my dogs, it completely drained me. I often went without food just to make sure my animals had what they needed. Eventually, I had to move back into the van before it was ready.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Right now, my biggest challenge is that my van isn’t insulated yet — which makes it cold at night as temperatures drop. I have multiple animals— all well-behaved, loved deeply, and thriving under my care. They love the van life, but I want to make it safer and more comfortable for them as the weather gets colder.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The estimated cost to finish the build, including insulation, battery sets, wiring, solar panels, and heating and AC installation, is around $11,000. My priority right now is getting the insulation, heating, and AC systems installed before winter fully sets in.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you’re able to help — whether by donating, sharing my story, or even just offering resources or advice — it would mean the world to me and my pack. Every bit helps bring us one step closer to stability and warmth this winter.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any support you can give.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With gratitude,

</div>

<div>Spencer

Support Spencer's Mission to Finish His Van Home

I recently learned that I have a meningioma, a tumor affecting the lining around my brain, and I am now facing surgery and the recovery that comes with it. This is a medical journey I never imagined I would be on, and I’m asking for help because I need support getting through the months ahead. 
<br>
<br>
 My recovery will require significant time away from work, which means lost income at the same time I’m trying to manage regular household bills and medical costs. After surgery, I also will not be able to drive for approximately three months. That creates another major challenge, because I will still need transportation to medical appointments, follow-up visits, therapy, and basic necessities while I heal. 
<br>
<br>
 Support from this fundraiser will help cover transportation, medical and recovery-related expenses, and basic living costs while I’m unable to work and drive normally. Having that help would give me the chance to focus on healing instead of constantly worrying about how I’m going to get to my next appointment or pay my next bill. 
<br>
<br>
 I’m not someone who is comfortable asking for financial help, but right now I truly need it. Any donation, no matter the amount, would mean so much to me. If you’re not able to give, sharing this fundraiser would also be a huge help. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for supporting me through this difficult season.

Support My Meningioma Surgery Recovery

<div>On December 26, 2025, Michelle Tullier and Avrum Weiss’s world changed overnight. Avrum was more than 5,000 miles from home in Hawaii visiting a dear friend who was facing a serious health crisis of his own, while Michelle was back in their island home in Maine. Avrum suffered a sudden neurological emergency—a serious brain hemorrhage and seizure—followed by the discovery of a brain tumor. Michelle made a 38-hour trek to Avrum's ICU bedside in Hawaii, and the two of them eventually made their way to Boston when he was stable enough to travel. Avrum underwent a craniotomy at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. In the course of his care, the working diagnosis became glioblastoma, one of the most aggressive forms of brain cancer. Avrum is now in an acute physical rehab hospital in Boston and they are facing complex follow-up evaluations, treatment planning, and a long journey, the nature of which is not yet known. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> As friends, colleagues, and loved ones have watched Michelle and Avrum move through this crisis with grace and level-headedness through the difficult emotions and stress, many have asked how they can help in a meaningful way. Michelle has been reluctant to accept assistance, knowing that many families face medical crises with far fewer resources. Avrum has excellent insurance, and they are not at risk of losing their home or going without basic necessities. But even with good coverage, the real-world costs have been extraordinary already, and they are only at the beginning of their journey. Over the past three weeks, they have logged 11,000+ travel miles and have been home only a few nights. With Avrum unable to work for the foreseeable future and Michelle on leave as well (they are both self-employed), they are burning through savings and even dipping into retirement accounts, simply to cover the logistics and maintain the stability and peace of mind needed to get through each day. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> Close friends have encouraged Michelle and Avrum to allow this GoFundMe to be created because so many people genuinely want to help, to have something concrete to do that can make a real difference in the lives of these two mental health professionals who have given so much to others over decades. Funds raised will help cover travel, lodging near hospitals/rehabilitation/treatment, parking fees, meals, home accessibility modifications and safety modifications, pet care, and the many unexpected out-of-pocket expenses that accumulate quickly in an extended medical crisis. They appreciate your support and loving kindness.

<div><strong>Your Support Can Make a Difference</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m reaching out on behalf of my dear friend and beloved family member, Ramona, who has been courageously battling Stage IV Endometrial/Serous Uterine Cancer since her diagnosis late last year. Despite the late-stage diagnosis and numerous setbacks, including medical providers not taking her symptoms seriously enough to diagnose her, and delayed chemotherapy due to necessary dental surgery, Ramona remains steadfast in her fight for life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At 66, Ramona is navigating this challenge alongside her 73-year-old husband, who, not long before her unexpected diagnosis, suffered a massive heart attack and coded three times. Though he’s slowly recovering, he is still grappling with the possibility of cognitive impairment due to oxygen deprivation as result of the coding. With her husband unable to be her primary caregiver, Ramona’s daughter has stepped in to provide full-time support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The emotional and financial toll on their family has been overwhelming. While Ramona’s spirit is resilient, the medical bills are mounting far beyond what her insurance covers. With out-of-pocket expenses slowly reaching $10,000 to date, the costs for ongoing immunotherapy, chemotherapy, scans, and supplements continue to rise. For instance, her out-of-pocket for PET scans every three months are $370.92 each, while her necessary dental treatments add $240 monthly. Her rent has been raised three times, totaling an additional $400 since 2023. For a couple living on a fixed retirement income, these expenses are devastating.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Ramona’s Journey to Diagnosis: A Story of Courage and Determination</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ramona’s journey has been nothing short of challenging. Just one month after her husband’s heart attack, despite her persistent reports of pain in her abdomen, she was hospitalized with severe symptoms that were repeatedly dismissed as heart-related since she was diagnosed in 2014 with heart failure and now wears a defibrillator implant. After being sent home with no answers, Ramona continued to push for a diagnosis. It was not until she noticed a lump (lymph node) near her collarbone and sought help from an ENT that a biopsy was ordered, revealing cancer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Diagnosed with metastasized Stage IV Serous Uterine Cancer, Ramona’s journey toward treatment was unfortunately further delayed due to months of red tape.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, Ramona has completed her first intensive course of chemotherapy (six rounds over three months) and multiple rounds of immunotherapy. <strong>Her doctors describe her healing as truly miraculous, a testament to her unwavering faith and fighting spirit.</strong> Still, she has more treatments ahead and will struggle to continue without financial help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why We Need Your Support Now</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ramona has always been the person who gives freely to others—through her ministry work, her guidance, and her care; and doesn't ask for anything in return, always relying on her faith to sustain her. But today, she needs us. She needs her community to stand with her during this time of extraordinary need.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Here’s How You Can Help:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>1. <strong>Donate</strong> Whatever You Can: Every contribution, no matter the amount, helps to ease the burden of Ramona’s growing medical bills and supplemental needs. Whether it’s $10 or $100, your support is invaluable.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>2. <strong>Share Her Story</strong>: If you can’t contribute financially, sharing this fundraiser with your network is just as powerful. The more people who know about Ramona’s journey, the greater our chances of reaching the goal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>3. <strong>Give Regularly</strong>: Consider making small, regular contributions over time to help sustain her fight as she continues with treatment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Together, we can help Ramona focus on what truly matters—her healing. Let’s rally around this incredible woman who has given so much to others and make sure that the financial challenges don’t hinder her path to remission.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ramona is strong. She is determined. And with your help, she can continue to overcome this battle. Reducing the financial stress will go such a long way in allowing her to focus all her energy on healing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Please donate today and share her story. Thank you for standing with her.</strong>

Help Ramona Continue Her Fight Against Stage IV Cancer

<br />My name is Koenraad van der Meer and I have been a professional bread baker for more than 40 years. I specialize in baking a unique line of breads that are malt-leavened, instead of relying on commercial yeast or sourdough starter. Because of its unique leavening process and heirloom grain composition, my bread is easier to digest, more nutritious, and delicious. The leaven from malted barley also naturally contains silica, which some believe counteracts the effect of electromagnetic radiation. In bringing together the grain and the leaven, I am guided by the spiritual science of Rudolf Steiner.<br /><br />To make my bread, I begin by sourcing organic whole spelt from a farm in the Finger Lakes as well as organic whole rye grain from a farm in Columbia County. Working at the Philmont Community Bakery, I use a small Austrian stone mill to grind the grain into flour. With steady growth of sales at local farmers markets, co-ops, and health food stores, this small stone mill is overworked; it’s been repaired several times in the last year. I am in need of a reliable, bigger mill to be able to continue to make fresh ground flour for bread. I would also like to make the flour available for sale to home bakers at the Philmont Coop Kitchen and the Farmer's markets in Hudson, Hillsdale/Copake, Millerton, and Amenia.<br /><br />New American Mills Company in Wolcott, Vermont, makes a large, natural granite stone mill. The cost of this mill is $12,000. I have been able to put a down payment on the mill and ask for your help to fund the remaining cost.<br /><br />Why does the flour need to be fresh and naturally stone ground?<br />• Oxidation begins soon after the grain is ground, and the grain starts to lose vitality within 48 hours.<br />• A natural whole granite stone gradually rubs and opens the grain without crushing it, which allows for a clean separation of the bran and the endosperm (the inner flour part) and preserves the delicate enzymes and vitamins. The grain travels the whole surface of the large stone, so it very gradually opens the kernel. Industrial mills simply pulverize the grain, destroying many nutrients. <br /><br />I appreciate your support of this campaign with any amount. Donors who pledge the following amounts or more will receive:<br />2 lbs of fresh ground flour or 2 loaves  of bread with a $50 donation<br />4 loaves of bread for a $100 donation<br />4 loaves of bread, plus leaven, a manual, and free breadmaking consultation

Community Baker Needs New Mill

<div>Masuo (74) and Michiko (69) Kawasaki are my neighbors and are in extreme need. Masuo (Mr. Kawasaki) is a skilled and accomplished master sushi chef who was trained at Kyubei in Tokyo, considered by many as the finest sushi restaurant in the world. The Kawasakis legally immigrated to the United States 35+ years ago, and it wasn’t long until they opened their own restaurant in Washington, D.C., Sushi Kappo Kawasaki. Their commitment to quality attracted Asian corporate executives from around the world who were visiting or working in the DC area as well as diplomatic envoys from Japan and other Asian nations. These customers were attracted to the Kawasaki’s level of quality and authenticity that was otherwise unavailable in the Washington/Baltimore area. These customers represented about 80% of their business. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Kawasakis made a good living and purchased a modest townhouse in Arlington, VA in 1989, living the American dream. Following 9/11, drastic changes in international travel and business practices to and in Washington eventually led to the downfall and closure of their restaurant. Over time, they have been unable to financially survive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The remnants of the restaurant were moved into their home and fill the garage and the home wall-to-wall and nearly floor to ceiling along with the debris of fast-food meals on which they are surviving. Four years ago, a water leak they could not afford to diagnose, locate, or repair resulted in the water being turned off followed by their natural gas, and they have been living in the house without heat and water since then.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mrs. Kawaski broke a leg in 2018 that has not healed correctly, was over prescribed pain meds that left her mentally incapacitated for three years (now resolved), a stroke that left her susceptible to fainting and further injuries, and both of them have developed diabetes. Mr. Kawasaki has become her constant caregiver, refusing to leave her bedside during extended hospitalizations. They are unable to work. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Based on a neighbor complaint, Arlington County Code Enforcement officials entered the home on December 7, 2023, deemed it uninhabitable, and ordered them out of the house effective December 12th until the house has been emptied and necessary repairs made. Another couple in the neighborhood who had already invested $10,000 in the past to cover their HOA fees has now taken them into their home until such time as Arlington County will let them re-occupy their home. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over the years, they have depleted their savings, investments, and reached the limits of their credit cards. Unable to work, they are struggling to survive on their only source of income which is $3000/month in combined Social Security benefits. Several creditors are threatening foreclosure. After their limited bill payments this month, they have only $200 a neighbor gave them until their January Social Security checks. The Arlington County Division of Aging and Disability Services is involved and supportive, but their $3000/month benefit checks are, believe it or not, above the level of income that would allow public assistance. Selling the home is not an option. Little would be left after creditors were paid, and they would be back in the same situation in which they find themselves…and looking for lodging.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Kawaskis are kind, unassuming, and apologetic people who normally would never ask for assistance but without your and our help, they are very close to losing their home and ending up homeless. We believe that if we can raise the money to clear their debts, clean the house, and make the necessary repairs to restore the utilities and get them back in the house, they can live frugally in their home for the rest of their lives. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They do not have any family in the United States, family members in Japan are not able to financially help, and returning to Japan is not a viable option.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is a classic, middle-class story of success to poverty and near disgrace. We realize that everyone has their own financial commitments, but we hope you can open your hearts and your wallets during this holiday season and time of giving to help the Kawasakis save their home and a minimal, frugal way of life.
</div>

Save the Kawasaki's Home

<div>We are raising funds on behalf of Super Bodhi, and his family - Sariah, Samara, and Zara. Bodhi is a 5-month-old who you might consider a "million-dollar baby." After conceiving Bodhi with IVF, Sariah and Samara learned of Bodhi's serious heart defect that would require many surgeries and extended stays in the hospital after his birth. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Earlier this week, Bodhi had his second heart surgery to help make his heart functional, but he's having a hard time recovering. The medical team at Randall's Children's Hospital in Portland has recommended transferring him to Seattle Children's Hospital for a more specialized team with more resources to care for him. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As of right now, Bodhi is very sick. The next steps after the transfer are unknown, but his family is hopeful that they will be able to help him. If not, Seattle is where he will need to be for a heart transplant. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please consider helping in whatever way you can. Sariah and Samara will be staying in Seattle with Bodhi. We are hopeful to cover as many expenses as possible so that they can focus all their energy on Bodhi without additional worry. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Bodhi's Story.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Bodhi was diagnosed with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) at just 20 weeks gestation when Sariah and Samara went for their anatomy scan. HLHS is a serious congenital heart defect, a birth defect that affects normal blood flow through the heart. As the baby develops during pregnancy, the left side of the heart does not form correctly. Right away, his parents made plans with this medical team to prepare for a series of surgeries after birth to help make his heart functional.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Bodhi was born on a Monday afternoon and was scheduled for his first (of three) open-heart surgery that Friday, the Norwood Procedure. The procedure went very well, but recovery took longer than expected, feeling a bit like a rollercoaster at times. After 78 days, Bodhi was discharged from the NICU, with a plan to return for his second heart surgery within a few months. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The second heart surgery, the Glenn Procedure,  was successful, but Bodhi has had a hard time recovering. His oxygen saturations have been low, even with being on a special type of ventilator. He started to look better, until this weekend. On Saturday (yesterday), they had to give him medicine to paralyze him because he was fighting the vent, but his stats never recovered. After doing a chest X-ray, they discovered a collapsed lung (unknown reason). After some time, his lung opened back up, but again his stats stayed too low. He had an additional procedure to relieve some pressure. Again, his little body couldn't make the improvements they wanted to see. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As of right now, Bodhi is very sick.  The medical team at Randall's Children's Hospital has recommended transferring him to Seattle Children's Hospital for a more specialized team with more resources to care for him. The next steps after the transfer are unknown, but his family is hopeful that they will be able to help him. If not, Seattle is where he will need to be for a heart transplant. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Again, we ask that you consider helping in whatever way you can. We are hopeful to cover as many expenses as possible so that they can focus all their energy on Bodhi without additional worry. 
</div>

Super-Bodhi's Medical Expenses & Road to Recovery

Five-year-old Hailey was diagnosed with cerebral cancer about eight months ago and has been undergoing treatment at her local hospital. Her doctors have now told her that she has little time left to live and that there is nothing more they can do. Her parents have reached out to Saint Jude's and were told that she was not eligible for any clinical trials or treatments. With the help of friends, they have found a hospital in Huston, TX, that can give her a different type of treatment and hopefully another chance at life. Hailey needs money to pay for these treatments as well as her stay in Houston. Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated. Thank you, and God bless!

Raising for 5 year old Hailey's cancer treatment

<font color="#333333"><span>Thank you everyone who donated and helped Mr. James enjoy his retirement, he asked for us to take down the GoFundMe today, He is VERY appreciative of everyone willing to give up their time to help him out and change his life. You all have shown what can happen when everyone gets together to help others!!! I think God did this to show that no matter how much evil there is good will always show it’s self! Mr. James thanks you all!! God bless yall!<br /><br /></span></font>

Mr. James thanks you all for changing his life!!

<div>As most of you are aware by now, a devastating ecological disaster occurred in East Palestine Ohio. A train derailed with several cars of an incredibly toxic chemical -vinyl chloride. Anyone living within a miles radius was forcibly evacuated. There was no warning. Before hand, the town was told to shelter in place. There was no time to properly evacute or move animals. Arrest and criminal charges were threatened to those who would have chosen to stay. My friend Taylor was FORCED to leave behind all of his outdoor animals including 18 foxes, 2 coyotes, and wolf dogs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are lucky enough to know Taylor, you KNOW without a shadow of a doubt these animals are his life. So many rescues, he has saved countless animals of all species from neglect and the brink of death. He is well known in the animal community for his wealth of knowledge, experience, and commitment. He would go to war quite literally to save any animal. All of this is effecting him terribly. Soulcrushing to walk away from a life that depends on you for its existence. A decision he shouldn't have had to make.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Taylor did manage to regain access for a very brief amount of time to secure a few animals in his home before being removed from the premises by police escort. However we know now that even those inside are not safe as this chemical settles in low lying areas. That of course includes basements.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>His animals who are stuck outside have hurt themselves from fright of the sirens and smells. One of his beloved fox broke his leg trying to flee his enclosure. This break alone is looking to be thousands in vet bills to correct. And his treatment is being delayed, which is critical. Let alone blood work and testing to see what damage inhaling the toxic fumes in the evacuation zone have caused.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From last update his foxes outside are swollen and very obviously in respiratory distress, noted in the banner of this gofund me you can see weeping eyes and facial swelling. There is no telling how they will be effected long term. Or the water quality, air....everything. It is too early to gauge the ramifications of this tragedy. With that being said, what we can do as a community is help these animals get the vet care they need, help displacement costs and save as many as we can. Pennies help save lives! Please help get these babies treated, you can make a difference. No matter how big or small!

Animals Injured & Displaced by Train Accident

<div>Emergency Surgery Required
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mountain Dan was hit by a vehicle last Sunday and was left in a ditch, bleeding, with two broken legs. He requires an orthopedic surgeon to repair his injuries and is currently being kept comfortable at a local vet until his transport to Woodstock on Monday, 1/16/2023, for surgery. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These repairs come with a substantial estimate of $13,000 and we need your help to make this happen. This estimate includes his current hospital stay, pre-anesthetic blood work, surgery (right femoral fracture repair and splint bandage placement for the right thoracic limb), overnight hospitalization, medications, and post-op with radiographs to monitor healing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mountain Dan has been nothing but sweet, even before he was receiving the pain meds to keep him comfortable and deserves this healing opportunity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are always grateful for the wonderful support our community offers our animals in need and from the bottom of our hearts, we thank you!
</div>

Great Dane, Mountain Dan, needs your help!

Donación - Donate in memory of Genesi Sosa

<div>In the aftermath of the Highland Park, IL shootings on July 4, the North Shore community rallied to help a boy who we knew nothing about. We took him to safety under tragic circumstances, came together to locate his grandparents, and prayed for the safety of his family.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Sadly, I need to share his name…Aiden McCarthy. And he needs more of our help. His parents Irina &amp; Kevin were killed during the July 4 shooting. At two years old, Aiden is left in the unthinkable position; to grow up without his parents.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Aiden will be cared for by his loving family and he will have a long road ahead to heal, find stability, and ultimately navigate life as an orphan. He is surrounded by a community of friends and extended family that will embrace him with love, and any means available to ensure he has everything he needs as he grows.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>On behalf of his family, and with their permission, I am establishing this fundraiser to support him and the caregivers who will be tasked with raising, caring for, and supporting Aiden as he and his support system embark on this unexpected journey.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Thank you for your generosity, kindness and support.

Our mission is to rescue, raise, and rehabilitate orphaned, injured, or sick wildlife and then return them to their habitats and the important role they play in nature. Treating and caring for wildlife takes an incredible amount of time and patience, but also material goods such as housing, bedding, food and medicine along with other supplies. <br /><br />We are officially a 501c3 nonprofit wildlife rescue and rehabilitation organization, so all donations are tax deductible.  For the past two years we have self-funded the operation, but as the need has become larger some structural changes are needed to continue. <br /><br /><br />Since I was a child I was always drawn to doing whatever I could for the injured and orphaned furry creatures around us.  As my own children have gotten older, I started volunteering and training as a NYS licensed RVS wildlife rehabilitator at Wildlife Wishing Well in Ithaca. As I have witnessed the expanded number of small mammals in need of care I have started a small operation in our own home.  I have now gained the experience and skills that are needed to help many more sick, injured, and orphaned wildlife. Sadly, most of the wildlife that we take in have been injured or orphaned due to human activity. Therefore, I think it is also our responsibility to do what we can  to restore these innocent victims back to health and get them back home.  <br /><br />Spring is here and orphaned baby season is in full swing! Spring and summer are the busiest time in wildlife rehabilitation. We already have an abundance of baby squirrels and opossums and it has only just begun. We are in desperate need of many more cages ($250 each!), supplies to build outdoor structures for pre-release, more medical supplies, food, fleece blankets, heat discs, and so much more!!<br /><br />As we grow, we are also committed to another essential part of our mission, to educate the public about how to coexist peacefully with our often fragile local wildlife population. Each animal plays an important role in balancing our ecosystem. I believe that a better understanding of these roles, will help to foster a deeper appreciation for our wildlife. As humans, our most significant role is to be responsible stewards of our planet.  One of the opossums under our care, Lulu, is unable to be released due to the nature of her injuries. Lulu has an adorably friendly personality, which will make her an excellent educational ambassador animal. I have started the paperwork to keep this goofy girl. Together we hope to help people to fall in love with opossums and other creatures and to realize how beneficial they are to our ecosystem!   <br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/44902812_1579567136827067_r.jpeg" alt="44902812_1579567136827067_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br /><br />Please help to make our goal of providing care to our local critters a reality; even a small amount can make a big difference!<br /><br /><br />Thank you!!<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/44902812_1579615207609107_r.jpeg" alt="44902812_1579615207609107_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/44902812_1579615250572130_r.jpeg" alt="44902812_1579615250572130_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/44902812_1579615294984_r.jpeg" alt="44902812_1579615294984_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/44902812_1579615315810476_r.jpeg" alt="44902812_1579615315810476_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" />

Help save our most vulnerable local wildlife!

<div>On April 3rd, 2022, someone came into our bar and poured gasoline on the floor causing an explosion that set the bar in flames. He was wearing a dark hoodie and a backpack and immediately ran from the scene. Everyone inside made it out, but two people were brought to the hospital and are in stable condition.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>We still don’t know what to make of this cruel act of violence. In only five short months we were privileged to become home to such a talented and vital community of artists. It breaks our hearts that anyone would seek to threaten that for any reason.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>At this time we haven’t identified the suspect or any motives, but we’re working closely with the authorities to investigate. If anyone has any information that might be useful in the investigation, please share it with us directly (email and DMs are open).
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>We're launching this Gofundme page to support everyone directly affected, our staff who will be out of work for the foreseeable future, and eventually the repair of the space.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>We love you, and we will come back from this.

Afghan Refugee Family Starter Kits (10 families)

<p>You can help save an organic farm and cultural education center in Kahaluu by donating today to Hui Aloha Aina Momona 501(c)3 (all donations are tax deductible).  We want to be clear that you are saving this farm for the community, not a single family.  The farm ownership will be under local nonprofit, Hui Aloha ʻĀina Momona 501(c)3 that has been doing community agriculture, cultural and environmental work since 2011.  <br /><br />Our organization was born after the legalization of traditional poi making in 2011. Our family was at the heart of the controversy, instead of backing down to the department of health, we changed the law.  The commitment we hold to seeing a board, stone and a full calabash of poi in every home has been at the heart of our passion to serve.  We have organized Opening Day at the State Capitol and hosted the community for the last 12 consecutive years, during that time we have shared over 10,000 pounds of cooked kalo, given 10,000 huli, made the very first imu at Iolani Palace and have the honor to make 8,000 laulau and feed the community.<br /><br />Here is my TedxMaui presentation in 2014, it also happens to be the same day that we moved on to this farm in Kahaluu, Oahu.<br /><br /><a href="https://youtu.be/HYy2FQbT1AU" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://youtu.be/HYy2FQbT1AU" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://youtu.be/HYy2FQbT1AU</a></a> <br /><br />The work we have done has taken us across the Hawaiian Island chain, over 2,000 large papa kuiai (poi boards) have been made with through small hands on workshops.  Our mission has grown beyond just a board and stone, but a subsistence garden - feeding homes and communities.  To make this a reality seven years ago we started to build the foundation of a farm school, where students live on the farm and learned to eat from the land.  Through community workshop and youth mentoring we have been steadily working towards our goal.  Over $300,000 has been invested in created elements to achieve our farm school, including outdoor kitchen, papa and pohaku workshop area, education space, natural farming solution making and storing site, no smell pig and chicken coops and lots of planting areas.  <br /><br />See where we are at today.  Mahalo Royce Kaleo for making this video for us.  <br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAUNg0t73MU" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAUNg0t73MU" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAUNg0t73MU</a></a> 
</p>

<p>Over the last seven years we have transformed a 2.947 acre lot into a cultural education center and organic farmstead after 70 years of chemical agriculture. Our goal has been to see a new type of farm school being created on Oahu, one that focuses on subsistence lifestyle and cultural practices as the foundation for the future of agriculture in Hawaii.
</p>

<p>In the end of June 2021, our landowners sent us written notice giving us 90 days to move. We have been in total shock.  Unfortunately the landlords have been financially impacted by the Covid pandemic and see the currently real estate market as solution.  On top of that a developer has been reaching out to landowners in our area because Kahaluu is a hot zone for development.  We must all save this land and keep it in agriculture!  Zillow lists the farm between 1.2 - 1.8 million. We qualify for a loan of but are short of the total, this leaves us to raise $400,000.00 of which we are asking for your help.<br /><br />Through hands on workshops and education centered around kalo, indigenous farming practices, imu, and other activities, we work to connect people to the land and each other. In Kahaluu we provide weekly taro pounding and monthly farming workshops. We also teach people to make their own taro pounding boards and stones and hold monthly community imu. During the 2020/2021 Covid pandemic we shared over 30,000 huli (taro seedlings) across the islands as our way to help families take control of where their food comes from. These huli became mental, physical and spiritual connections to hope and inspired many to give and share food that they grow.<br /><br />If you prefer to mail a tax deductible donation:<br />Hui Aloha ʻĀina Momona 501(c)3<br />47-540 Ahuimanu Road<br />Kaneohe, Hi 96744 <br /><br />or donate directly to our website <a href="http://ainamomona.org/donate" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ainamomona.org/donate</a>

<p>PLEASE help TY , who just turned one , walk and live pain free.<br />Through no fault of his own, TY’s pelvis  was fractured in February. He was surrendered to us, had surgery , but sadly, the <br />surgery was unsuccessful. In order for Ty to walk without pain and have total use of his leg he DESPERATELY needs surgery again.
</p>

<p>His foster parents ( my brother and his wife) have had him since <br />his surgery back on March 1 and have loved and nurtured Ty into <br />being a confident, trusting and loving puppy. <br /><br />I had the pleasure of meeting Ty a couple of weeks ago and I can’t<br />get his sweet personality amidst his awful medical issue, out of my mind. We need to give this guy hope and a chance to be loved and happy. <br /><br />I am raising money to offset the cost of the second surgery to <br />benefit TY, who is a rescue through Carolina <br />Boxer Rescue.
</p>

<p>Any  donation will help make an impact in his life. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that <br />means so much to me❤️<br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/57718837_1623427471330049_r.jpeg" alt="57718837_1623427471330049_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/57718837_1623427519283721_r.jpeg" alt="57718837_1623427519283721_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/57718837_1623427547881674_r.jpeg" alt="57718837_1623427547881674_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br /><br />More information about Carolina Boxer Rescue Inc: We are <br />dedicated to helping abandoned, abused and neglected purebred boxers get proper vet care and be adopted to screened homes.

Ty deserves a chance to walk and play without pain

<p>As many of you know we recently purchased a new property to start the next step into becoming a non-profit wildlife sanctuary. Part of this journey included adding a large secure yard where the foxes and other animals we take in along the way would be able to freely roam while still having access to the house to retreat during the hot Florida days.
</p>
<p><br />
</p>
<p>We started this project in April and were originally quoted $17,500 to fence in two acres, we placed half down and the contractors began their work. After a week of placing posts and adding the fencing I realized that this contractor had never done this type of agricultural fencing before or was not upfront about his ability to properly handle a project of this scale. The fencing that was being placed would not be secure for the foxes and when I brought up my concerns the owner was not receptive stating that the project would need to be finished prior to me making judgment on the work. After I lost my confidence in the orignal contractor I had two others come out to advise if the fencing that was being placed would in fact be secure once the job was finished. I was told it was very poorly done, would not pass an inspection with the USDA, and was not what we were quoted as the measurements were wrong in several areas. We promptly fired the original contractor, but were not able to be refunded the money we had already spent on the fencing.
</p>
<p><br />
</p>
<p>Now that we have lost our orignal funds for this project we are reaching out to you, our community, for help to finish this yard for the animals. The new quote is attached which includes the removal of the nonfunctional fencing and the placement of the new fencing. The contractor we are hiring has done fencing for wildlife previously and worked closely with the Tallahassee Museum to house their foxes, bears, and wolves. I have viewed his work first hand and have the upmost confidence that this fence will be secure and keep our animals safe while allowing them a more natural, enriching, habitat!

Fencing For The Fox Yard

<p>Voluntary Hearts Community for Girl-child Concern (VHC-GCC) led by my astonishing friend and sister Julia Musisi, is dedicated to educating and empowering Ugandan girls to engage in the economic and social wellbeing of their community. We helped them a few years ago fund a new building and water source. Now they’ve finished 85% of the construction of their new vocational school, medical clinic and pharmacy, and cafeteria. They need to raise additional funds for a solar electricity project that will provide alternative, affordable power to their facility. Their goal is $50,000. The young women who participate in the VHS electrical installation classes will be involved in this solar installation project, gaining more valuable on-the-job training. VHC plans to open their new facility in Kikusa, Uganda in January 2022. VHC expects to have over 150 women students, as well as provide much needed healthcare services to the community. Can you possibly help again? Love, Annie

Help Elcias Hernandez Ortiz cover medical bills

imagine being someone's pet, and then in the middle of the winter during ice storms and snow storms, you are thrown out into the cold with no food and no water and no shelter. This is what has happened to this kitten here. <br />This little guy, or gal, has been roaming our little neighborhood for at least a week now.  He has been spotted by several neighbors who have witnessed him limping.  we are fortunate enough to have him visit our garage once and despite trapping him in the garage he escaped. We set up a humane trap and got him right away. He is now being brought inside where he will remain nice and warm.<br /><br />He does have an injury to his rear right foot. it does look as if he is missing a toe and has other deformities and injuries going on as well.  <br /><br />I have posted on our neighborhood listserv that we have found him but no one has come forward to claim him. We will be taking him up to the vet to have him scanned for a microchip, however I don't think we will find that he has been microchipped.   my guess is that he will need x-rays as well as some kind of surgery.  he will also need to be brought up-to-date on vaccinations and spayed or neutered as well.<br />If you can spare even a dollar for this little guy to get better that would be great. Thank you so much!

Note: for the Flower Bloom, please head over to <a href="https://givebutter.com/glenechopark-flowerbloom"><a href="https://givebutter.com/glenechopark-flowerbloom" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://givebutter.com/glenechopark-flowerbloom</a></a> Thanks!!<br /><br />For my 50th birthday, I am partnering with my friends to raise money for a treasure in the National Park Service: Beeler Fountain in Glen Echo National Park. <br /><br />Originally built as a Chautauqua in 1891, the park has a storied history, including turns as an amusement park, host to legendary music acts in its ballroom, and home to a civil rights sit-in on its carousel in 1960.  Nothing else like it exists within the NPS system.<br /><br />The funds from this effort will be earmarked toward the grounds surrounding the stone fountain in the very back corner of the park. Built in 1959 and listed as having "no historic value" by the NPS, it's a beautiful stone structure that's been pretty much left to ruin since the amusement park's closing in 1968. I started caring for the fountain during the pandemic, and have named* it Beeler Fountain in memory of my friend and longtime NPS and USGS employee, Stephanie Beeler.<br /><br />We'll be funding the grounds surrounding Beeler Fountain: repairing the fountain's base, replanting the area with native trees and flowers, and uncovering a secret fountain that's been buried in the thicket for decades.<br /><br />Thus far, after initially digging out the fountain in the early summer, we’ve planted it with perennial salvia and daisies, and have planted upward of 200 bulbs for the spring for Stef. <br /><br />We hope you'll join us on our mission, and we hope you'll come enjoy the park with us!<br /><br />Thanks so much!<br />BdM<br /><br />*while you can't officially name things in national parks, it doesn't have a name, so...<a href="http://www.instagram.com/beelerfountain_" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">now it does</a>. Be sure to give it a tag when you visit!<br /><br />P.S. Thank you to $1,550 in direct donations made on behalf of Beeler Fountain to the park!

Dear Friends and Neighbors,<br />We are reaching out to you because this summer, our dear friend and neighbor Karin Tuerlinckx, was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer.  At first it seemed that the cancer was removed entirely when she had partial pancreatic resection in July, but by August, it had spread to Karin’s liver.<br /><br />Karin is a loving mother, wife, sister, daughter and friend, who despite her multiple sclerosis and pancreatic cancer, has continued to shuttle her kids- Alex and Max- back and forth to ballet and swimming tirelessly.  The community has rallied around Karin, LP, Alex and Max bringing food and offering help where they can, but as you know, the bills can pile up.  <br /> <br />We are fund raising to support Karin and the Genereux family during the fight of their lives. We are requesting donations in any amount that you can afford. As you know the doctors’ bills, deductibles, missed work, potential travel, and other bills can be onerous when you have a major medical issue. Can you please join us in supporting Karin win this fight and providing some relief from the stress of financial strain that pancreatic cancer has brought to Karin’s family?<br /><br />We all want Karin focused on fighting and beating cancer!!

UPDATE  from Gabe's "GoFundMe Elves": <br /><strong>*** We've set a new challenge of raising $75,000 ***</strong> Thanks to all of your wonderful, generous outpouring of support for Gabe and his family, we've surpassed our goal of $50,000 for Gabe and his family. <br /><br />Last week, <strong>Gabe's doctors recommended that he move forward to rituximab</strong>, a medication that could address his autoimmune issues and reduce the inflammation in his brain. <strong>One round of rituximab = $30,000</strong>, which insurance has not approved. <br /><br />Thanks to your incredible generosity so far, Gabe will be able to get this treatment regardless of what his insurer says (or how long it takes them to decide!), but <strong>it will deplete all of the funds for his other continuing medical expenses</strong>. He still faces an unknown journey along an unclear path to an effective treatment -- let alone the long rehab and recovery costs he'll still need once he finally kicks the medical problems.<br /><br />So, we've raised the goal, and hope you'll continue to donate and share and spread the word! THANK YOU all again for what you're doing for Gabe and his family. <strong>The outpouring of love and support has been incredible -- let's keep up the momentum!</strong><br /><br />***<br /><strong>WHAT HAPPENED TO GABE?</strong><br /><br />In September 2015, <strong>Gabe suddenly became seriously ill—paralyzed, and more—by a tick-borne infection called Bartonella. </strong>The infection has caused autoimmune problems, and encephalitis (inflammation of his brain and nervous system).<br /><br />He and his family have been going through physical, emotional, and financial hell for more than two years.<br /><br /><strong>As friends of Gabe and his family, we hope you’ll help with Gabe's ongoing medical bills, and share this with others.<br /><br /></strong>Here is a photo of Gabe from before he got sick, after doing what he loved best in the world: He and his teammates had played in a travel baseball tournament. They lost, but he'd gotten clutch Ks as a relief pitcher, and he was proud of how he and his team had played, proud that it had been his first draft on the way to his dream team, his beloved Orioles. <br /><br /><img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/21784414_1499201881.9016_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" />Healthier times: Gabe is in the back row, third from right – in the orange shirt, of course :)<br /><br />He came home from that baseball-at-the-beach trip as a 12-year-old should: smelly, sweaty, with sand behind his ears and salt drying on his skin. Sleep deprived, but happy and proud of his first trip without his parents. Looking forward (as he had since he was six years old) to a spot in the Orioles’ pitching rotation, of calling Camden Yards home.<br /><br /><strong>Two months later, Gabe suddenly got very sick.</strong><br /><br />During the terrifying first two months of emergency rooms and hospital stays, <strong>Gabe lost the use of both legs.</strong> He couldn’t keep food down. High fevers every three weeks. At one point, he couldn’t talk, because <strong>his brain couldn’t coordinate his breath with his speech muscles.</strong><strong><br /></strong><br /><strong>THE LONG STRUGGLE:</strong><br />Now, almost two years later, Gabe is still <strong>totally wheelchair bound,</strong> still unable make his legs work. He suffers with <strong>constant pain and headaches</strong>, debilitating <strong>brain fog and memory problems</strong>—<strong>multiple disorders of multiple systems.</strong><br /><br />He’s had an excruciating, non-stop migraine 24/7 since this all started. Terrible bladder spasms day and night; nausea and forceful reflux with every bite he eats; painful sensitivity to light, sound, and movement. Attention, concentration, and memory are all seriously impaired. His physical and cognitive exhaustion is profound.<br /><br />And he has watched as his friends and his teammates graduate, evolve, play baseball, move on.<br /><br /><strong>A PATH FORWARD:</strong><br />For many months, as Gabe got worse and worse, his parents intensively searched and researched, looking for answers. Finally they found a research-driven physician who gave them the diagnosis: <strong>Bartonella</strong><strong>—one of dozens of tick-borne diseases.</strong> <br /><br />It’s called a <strong>“stealth organism,”</strong> taking up residence where ordinary treatments can't reach it, and <strong>disabling the immune system so it can ravage the defenseless body at will.<br /></strong><br />Not only is this infection hard to diagnose and kill off, but even worse, <strong>it causes tons of collateral damage.</strong> In Gabe's case, these "side effects" go far beyond the infection itself, including:<br /><br /><strong>·      </strong>Inflammation of his brain and the rest of his nervous system<br /><strong>·      </strong>Microvascular disease (blockage/damage to the tiny blood vessels in his brain and body)<br /><strong>·      </strong>Damage to the nerve receptors in his muscles<br /><strong>·      </strong>Impaired immunity<br /><strong>·      </strong>Autoimmune disorder (his immune system  "attacking" his own healthy cells)<br /><strong>·      </strong>Dysautonomia (his nervous system can’t properly regulate his heart rate, blood pressure, or digestion)<br /><br /><img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/21784414_1499200958.9485_funddescription.png" alt="" width="100%" />(A bit of a smile at the doctor's office - his toes moved!)<br /><br />Gabe endures painful trips multiple days a week for physical therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, electrical muscle stimulation, deep tissue laser treatments to keep his muscles and nerves as healthy as possible, and of course, scores and scores of appointments with doctors.<br /><br /> He has gone through so many tests and treatments, it’s hard to count.<br /><br />He <strong>needs round-the-clock assistance</strong>—during the day while his parents work to pay the bills (they're both self-employed, so no work = no income), and at night when they wake up multiple times a night to tend to him.<br /><br />His doctors have him taking multiple, powerful antibiotics, as well as a long list of other prescription medications to help manage his symptoms and staunch the damage, plus dozens of specialized medical supplements to support his body and try to counterbalance the nasty side effects of the medications.<br /><br /><strong>PROGRESS:</strong><br />So far, Gabe’s progress is measured in the tiniest victories:<br /><br /><strong>·     </strong> The latest lab results show that <strong>the antibiotics have finally beaten back the Bartonella itself</strong>, and the biofilm “hideouts” are significantly reduced. ***Update, Sept 2017: All traces of biofilms are GONE!<br /><br /><strong>·     </strong> Unlike last summer, <strong>Gabe’s able to watch his Orioles play!</strong> In a darkened room, with the brightness of the TV turned way down (plus dark sunglasses to tolerate even that) and the sound so low his parents can't hear it, he can revel at Manny's plays and Adam's hits, and agonize at Ubaldo's pitching.<br /><br /><strong>·     </strong> Cheers went up in the doctor’s office a few months ago when Gabe was able to repeatedly <strong>flex his foot (and sometimes his knee) an inch</strong>, for about a second, until the nerves and receptors sputter back out. ***Update, Sept 2017: Gabe can kick his lower leg up about 4 inches a few times in the morning (though this ability fades out by midday).<br /><br /><strong>It's slow progress, but the "Orioles Warrior" is winning</strong>—far too slowly, but winning.<br /><br /><strong>WHAT’S NEEDED?</strong><br />Now that the infection is largely killed off, we are hoping and hoping <strong>the next major step in Gabe’s treatment —IVIg</strong>— will be a giant step toward getting him back on his feet, literally, back into his cleats, and back to school (in that order, according to him). <br /><br />IVIg is used to fight disease, strengthen weakened immunity, and reverse autoimmune conditions. <strong>It has been close to miraculous in some patients with Bartonella</strong> once the acute stage of the infection has been addressed. Gabe's finally ready!<br /><br /><strong>Each IVIg treatment costs $15,000</strong>, and of course insurance won't cover the expense, despite it being a well-established treatment. Gabe may need as many as three IVIg treatments in the next few months.<br /><br />Even after the IVIg, Gabe will still have a long road to recovery—<strong>ongoing medical treatment for continued healing, intensive physical rehabilitation, cognitive remediation.</strong> <br /><br />Family and friends have been showing up 1,000 percent, with meals, and gifts, and advice, and resources, and referrals. Gabe and his parents have been so deeply moved and incredibly grateful for all of the support from so many. <br /><br /><strong>But the upcoming IVIg treatments and medical expenses are a big cost surge</strong>, and his parents are stretched to the limit financially after nearly two years. Having downsized and borrowed and financed and fought with the insurance company, they’ve finally agreed to let us ask for help on Gabe’s behalf.<br /><br /><strong>So, we're asking Team Gabe to step up to the plate, again, and pinch hit for the kid.</strong> <br /><br /><strong>Please help the "Orioles Warrior"</strong> who, even as disabled as he is, makes sandwiches for a local charity, and is working so hard, doing everything he can—and more—to get better.<br /><br /><strong>THE GOAL:</strong> <br /><br /><strong>$50,000 to help pay for the next three months of medical expenses (not covered by insurance):</strong><br /><br />• IVIg Treatments: $15,000 each (1-3 treatments)<br />• Prescription medications: $400/month<br />• Medical supplements: $500/month<br />• Medical treatments (HBOT, physical therapy, deep-tissue laser, muscle e-stim): $1,400/month<br />• Daytime caregivers, so Gabe's self-employed parents can work<br /><br /><strong>Total Projected medical costs not covered by insurance for the next three months: $70,000+</strong> <br /><br /><strong>HOW YOU CAN HELP - TWO WAYS:</strong><br /><br />•<strong>1</strong>•<strong> DONATE</strong><br /><strong>Please donate whatever you can - EVERY donation helps!</strong> All donations will be used to pay for Gabe's medical expenses.

Help Gabe Fight Bartonella and WIN

<p>I'm Jack Carlson from Saint Paul, Minnesota.  I have worked for Strauss Skates and Bicycles for 30 years, delivering on the service needs for kids and adults for bikes, trikes, and all things skating. <strong>For more than 10 years  now, I have focused on the special needs community and have rediscovered my passion for cycling through the eyes of these special kids. <br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/22230818_1539838384550252_r.jpeg" alt="22230818_1539838384550252_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /></strong><br />I work regularly with Gillette Children's Hospital, Shriners, the Minneapolis VA, Variety of WI (a children's charity), Minneapolis School district DAPE program, and many others to provide tricycles and adaptive riding solutions to children in need. I come up with creative solutions by using materials we have around our bike shop. For instance, an old pair of roller blades can be shaved and mounted so that a child who has trouble keeping their feet on the pedals has an easier way to stay connected to the bike. <br /><br />Each custom adaptive bicycle or tricycle costs roughly $1,800 - $2,000. Funding is always difficult, and while great contributions are made from the aforementioned organizations, often times the families still fall short. <strong>My goal is to make sure that money is not an obstacle and that we’re able to get as many children on bikes as possible.</strong><br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/22230818_1539838401183116_r.jpeg" alt="22230818_1539838401183116_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" />All donations to my GoFundMe campaign will be spent on bridging the gap for families in need to cover the associated costs for these custom bikes. Need based support will be determined by me through relationships with all parties involved, including therapists, case workers, etc.  <br /><br /><strong>I promise to make every dollar go as far as possible to our goal of helping every child have the freedom to ride!</strong><br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/22230818_1539838418559843_r.jpeg" alt="22230818_1539838418559843_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" />____________

<p><a href="http://www.startribune.com/maplewood-s-jack-the-bike-guy-helps-kids-with-special-needs/388605351/">Minneapolis Star Tribune article</a> <br />Jack Carlson fixes bikes with his hands, but he moves mountains with his heart. At Strauss Skates and Bikes in Maplewood, Carlson has made it his personal mission to remove barriers that keep kids with special needs from riding bikes.<br /><br />“There’s nothing better than seeing a kid experience the freedom of riding a bike for the first time,” he said. Inspiration came a decade ago while he was working with a man whose daughter with special needs couldn’t ride a standard bicycle. As word spread throughout the community, he got more requests from customers with special needs, each presenting unique challenges and opportunities for solutions.<br /><br />He was faced with the ultimate challenge when a young girl with 8-inch legs came to him with a dream of riding a bike. He made it happen. “Jack has never given up on anyone,” said owner Shaun Hastings. “He’s never said no to anyone.”<br /><br />When a customer without arms wanted to ride a bike, Carlson pondered, puttered and pounded, piecing together a three-wheeled bike so the girl could perform all functions — pedaling, braking, turning, gear-shifting — with her legs. “If there’s a will, there’s a way,” he said. “The best part is making something happen for someone who never thought it was possible.” <br /><br />In his 30 years of working at Strauss Skates and Bikes, Carlson, 56, has earned the reputation around the shop for being a jack-of-all-trades. He works quietly, shying away from the spotlight and unaware of his impact. In the local special-needs community, he’s simply called “Jack the bike guy.”<br /><br />In a Facebook forum for Minnesota parents of special-needs children, one mother said Jack “saved me $2,000. … he truly seems to care.” Another mom said, “We will never forget Jack.” That reputation sends customers from around the state to his door. Heather Kainz drove from Virginia, Minn., to get her 4-year-old son, Parker, a bike that would provide adequate support. Parker uses a wheelchair and a walker for mobility, but wanted a bike to cruise around with his older sisters and cousins.<br /><br />“A bike is something every single child should be able to experience, regardless of ability,” Kainz said. Individually adapted bicycles, like the kind Parker needs, come with a hefty price tag, often more than $3,500. “Figuring how to adapt a bike isn’t the biggest challenge,” Carlson said. “Funding is.”<br /><br />He works with several distributors of adaptive bikes, but when cost makes getting a new bike prohibitive, he comes up with creative low-cost solutions. It’s not unusual for him to use parts from used bikes in the shop to create a custom bike. Instead of ordering new foot pedal attachments for one customer, he cut down a pair of plastic Rollerblade boots to bolt to the pedals.<br /><br />“All it takes a little creativity,” he said. “Every kid should be able to ride a bike without it costing a fortune.”

Adaptive needs tricycles

When I was in 6th grade my math teacher said to my mom, "I was  a very sweet girl, but not that smart." This was my first year in public school. My mom had always volunteered, acted as the school janitor or done whatever other job that was needed so I could attend a small Montessori school. Unfortunately they closed and I was left in what was thought to be a good school.  I had always been a pretty good  student, but there, I struggled and did not understand why.  <br />My mom was determined to get me out of that school.  She found another small private school that had scholarship money.  Again the deal was that she did a lot of volunteer work to keep me there.  This new school allowed me to thrive.  Believe it or not, my best subject became math. Like all good things, the money ran out and for 9th grade I was back in public school. It was shell shock all over again. The teachers were overwhelmed and I eased my way through. The joke in our house was my little brother had more homework than me.  My mom being that tiger wolf parent was not satisfied.  Probably because I was starting to drift into indifference.  <br />Next thing I know my mom signed me up to take a placement test at the University of the District of Columbia. I assumed I would just take the test and maybe take a course over the summer to appease my mother. I placed into freshman English and was accepted as a High Skip student. (High Skip is a program where you can take college courses while enrolled in high school). My mom being extra somehow managed to enroll me as a full time student. So at 14 I started college and never went back to high school. To manage tuition, my grandparents and other family and friends pitched in to cover the cost.  University of the District of Columbia Community College (UDC) was less expensive than private school so it worked out. <br />Believe it or not I excelled at the community college and was able to transfer to the Flagship, UDC.  There I majored in Civil Engineering, made the Dean's List and got involved in student engineering clubs on campus. The summer of 2014 I was accepted into the prestigious REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) program at Duke University known as CEINT (Center for the Environmental Implications of Nanotechnology). It was a paid internship where I was able to spend 10 weeks living and working on Duke's campus. I successfully completed the program with great recommendations from my professor. <br />After my experience at Duke, I knew I had to find a school that had more hands on research opportunities as part of their curriculum. I decided the best thing for me was to transfer to a university with more opportunities. I began my research and found a few schools with Spring admissions that I thought would be a perfect fit for me.  Applications were due in a month which gave me very little time to complete the applications. My first choice was Drexel University, in Philadelphia Pennsylvania and after one and half weeks of submitting my application, I got an email followed by an official letter of my acceptance. <br />My hard work paid off and  all my transfer credits were accepted. So at 17 I  was classified as a junior studying Civil Engineering at a top notch university with $70K a year tuition cost. I did get a small scholarship from Drexel, but it is not nearly enough to cover the cost. Due to this short time period of my acceptance, my financial package has been delayed.  However,I took the leap of faith, paid my housing deposit and am halfway through my first quarter. I need your help with tuition cost for my first two quarters.  (Drexel is on a quarter system).
