<div>Dear friends, family, and compassionate strangers, I’m reaching out with a heavy heart to share the devastating story of my best friends, Natasha Ward and Louis McGuire, and their three incredible children—Cruz (5), Willow (4), and Blaze (2)—along with their beloved Labradoodle, Mocha. This family is trapped in a nightmare no parent should face, fighting to save their kids from a life-threatening fungal infection caused by toxic mold. They need our urgent help to save their children’s lives and rebuild their future. Please, read their story and join me in giving them hope.
</div>
<div>A Home That Became a Death Trap
</div>
<div>Natasha and Louis moved to Las Vegas for a fresh start, renting a home they believed was a safe haven for their kids to grow and play. But it hid a deadly secret: toxic black mold (Stachybotrys chartarum and Aspergillus fumigatus) lurking in the walls, carpets, and air vents, poisoning the air their family breathed. They had no idea until their children started falling dangerously ill.
</div>
<div>It began with rashes on Cruz and Willow, and Blaze, misdiagnosed as eczema, that turned into burning, blistering sores. Fevers, vomiting, and crippling fatigue followed, stealing their joy. Little Blaze, only two, suffered the worst—struggling to breathe and enduring terrifying seizures that left Natasha and Louis helpless as his tiny body shook. Even Mocha, their loyal service dog and the kids’ best friend, began coughing, developing rashes, and losing her energy.
</div>
<div>Natasha and Louis raised concerns about mold early, pointing out visible signs and begging for action. Their pleas were dismissed, and they faced resistance when they persisted. Desperate, the family paid for a mold test, revealing a horrifying truth: their home was a toxic trap, with dangerous mold contaminating their furniture, clothes, and air. A judge later declared the house unlivable, but the damage to their children’s health was done.
</div>
<div>A Life-Threatening Crisis: Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis
</div>
<div>Cruz, Willow, and Blaze are battling invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, a deadly fungal infection caused by prolonged exposure to toxic mold. This is not a mild allergy—it’s a systemic infection attacking their lungs, blood, and nervous systems. Blood tests show dangerously high Aspergillus levels, causing severe rashes, respiratory distress, and neurological complications. Blaze’s seizures are the most heart-wrenching, risking permanent brain damage or worse. Their lungs show early signs of interstitial lung disease, a scarring condition that could lead to chronic respiratory failure. Even Mocha is suffering from mold-related illness.
</div>
<div>Medical experts warn that invasive aspergillosis in children has a 30-50% mortality rate if treatment is delayed or interrupted. Without immediate, consistent care, the infection could invade vital organs, causing irreversible damage or death. The stakes could not be higher.
</div>
<div>Their Lifeline: Voriconazole
</div>
<div>The only hope for Cruz, Willow, and Blaze is Voriconazole, a potent antifungal drug that fights the Aspergillus infection. It’s their best chance at survival, but it’s brutally expensive: $1,688.42 per child every two weeks, totaling over $5,065.26 every 14 days for all three. They need this medication for at least 26 weeks—a staggering $131,696. 76 that insurance won’t cover. The drug is harsh, causing nausea, headaches, and fatigue, but it’s working to save their lives. Missing even one dose risks the infection rebounding, potentially triggering worse seizures, lung collapse, or fatal outcomes. They cannot stop treatment.
</div>
<div>A Family Forced to Start Over
</div>
<div>When the mold test results came back, Natasha and Louis fled the toxic house, leaving behind everything—furniture, clothes, toys—all contaminated. They drained their savings on hotel stays, air purifiers, and medical tests while fighting in court. When Nevada’s healthcare system failed them, they made the brave choice to return to their hometown, La Crosse, Wisconsin, for doctors who understand mold toxicity. They’ve found a dedicated medical team, but the costs for Voriconazole, lab tests, ER visits, and a safe, mold-free home are crushing. Louis stays home to care for the kids, and Natasha is their full-time caregiver, leaving them with no income to face these overwhelming expenses.
</div>
<div>Why We Must Act Now
</div>
<div>This is a life-or-death emergency. Cruz, Willow, and Blaze are fighting a poison that could steal their futures—lung damage, neurological issues, or worse—if we don’t act. Natasha and Louis have exhausted every resource, but they can’t do this alone. They’re not the type to ask for help, but for their kids and Mocha, they’re putting pride aside. I’m begging you to join me in supporting them with:
</div>
<div>•  Medical Costs: Over $80,000 for Voriconazole, plus ongoing lab tests and specialist visits to monitor recovery.
</div>
<div>•  Mocha’s Care: Vet bills to treat their service dog’s mold-related illness.
</div>
<div>•  Basic Needs: Replacing contaminated belongings and covering living expenses while they focus on their kids.
</div>
<div>Every dollar brings Cruz’s giggles, Willow’s hugs, and Blaze’s brave smiles closer to returning. If you can’t donate, please share this campaign to amplify their story and raise awareness about the dangers of toxic mold. Your shares could help another family avoid this fate.
</div>
<div>A Call from the Heart
</div>
<div>I’ve watched Natasha and Louis hold their kids through endless ER visits, comfort Blaze during seizures, and fight for answers when no one listened. Their love for Cruz, Willow, Blaze, and Mocha is unbreakable, even as they’re pushed to their breaking point. These kids still have so much spirit—Blaze’s tiny smile, Willow’s warmth, Cruz’s energy trying to shine through. With your help, we can give them the care and safety they need to heal and thrive again.
</div>
<div>Please, donate what you can at, share this far and wide, and keep this family in your prayers. This fundraiser is not affiliated with any rental company and reflects the family’s personal experience. Together, we can be the lifeline between survival and tragedy, ensuring no child dies from a poison in their own home.
</div>
<div>With gratitude and urgency,
</div>
<div>Caitlin Slater-Guggisberg, on behalf of Natasha, Louis, Cruz, Willow, Blaze, and Mocha

</div>
<div>Flooding is one of the most devastating natural disasters in the US, causing billions of dollars in damage each year and displacing thousands of families. Too often we see people create fundraisers on the GoFundMe platform asking for help in the wake of destructive floods.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>GoFundMe.org has launched this fund to provide direct and immediate support to those impacted by floods this year. Tax deductible donations will go to individuals and families impacted, and to the nonprofit organizations who are responding on the ground. Every dollar will go directly to the communities in need. Your support will help flood survivors begin to rebuild—stronger and together.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Current Need</strong>
</div>
<div>On December 9, 2025, an atmospheric river began sweeping through Washington state and the greater Pacific Northwest, resulting in widespread flooding and damage. We will be issuing grants to verified folks impacted as donations are raised.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On October 12, 2025, Typhoon Halong swept through Alaska’s Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, resulting in widespread flooding and damage, and over 2,000 people being displaced. New donations raised will be granted to support this community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are currently raising money to support victims of the deadly flooding in Gila County, Arizona.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Torrential rain on this August caused historic flash flooding across southeastern Wisconsin, damaging over 1,800 homes and 20+ public schools. Streets, schools, and neighborhoods in Milwaukee County were overwhelmed as rivers reached record levels. Thousands of families are now displaced, schools are facing costly repairs, and FEMA is still assessing the full extent of the damage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over the July 4th weekend, catastrophic floods swept across Central and South Texas, devastating homes, displacing families, and leaving entire communities underwater. With little warning, rising waters destroyed businesses, washed away roads, and forced emergency evacuations. Thousands of Texans are now navigating the aftermath—mourning lives lost, cleaning up what’s left, salvaging what they can, and facing an uncertain road to recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In mid‑June, San Antonio was slammed by a flash flood when over 6 inches of rain fell in just a few hours, sweeping away vehicles and killing 13 people. This marked the city’s worst flooding in over a decade, causing extensive infrastructure and road damage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

<div>We deliver cash grants directly to those impacted by domestic floods. We grant to verified individuals who qualify and are fundraising for themselves or on behalf of someone else.
