<div>On June 1st, Rebecca and I were walking around at Jungle Jim’s and Rebecca asked to head home as her leg hurt. She thought she might have gotten hurt playing catch the flag or just dance during the last week of school. We went home and treated it as a possible sprain. On Wednesday, June 5th, we got rained out of our Girl Scout Bridging Ceremony, and thought we should get her leg checked out for a possible hairline fracture as the swelling was still there (not a lot), the pain was ebbing and her leg was warm to the touch. We initially went to Ortho Indy, but it was too close to their close time for them to see her, so off to Riley ER we went. The X-ray showed a leison on her right tibia. They admitted us to be able to get an MRI in the morning. MRI confirmed that what they saw was bone cancer. They told us and Rebecca began vomiting she was so nervous. 4 mg of Ativan were given, so when she got the CT scan she was looking for frogs in the machine. We were able to take Rebecca home with her visual hallucinations and she was able to sleep at home. On June 12th, she had a biopsy on her right tibia. We got confirmation of Osteosarcoma when we met with Riley’s Dr. Just on June 25th. We learned about the treatment plan, MAP chemo for 2 to 3 cycles, the limb sparing surgery on her right tibia, then 2 more rounds of MAP chemotherapy or IE chemotherapy if MAP is not working as well as they want. We went to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital to talk with Dr. Plessy to get a 2nd opinion. Treatment protocols were pretty much the same if not a little more aggressive to determine if what was seen in the CT scan was Osteosarcoma or the Histplasmosis that all of us in the Midwest have. Rebecca decided that she felt more comfortable receiving treatment at Riley. (She has had 2 surgeries there already) so we will go for a PET scan on July 8th and port placement and chemotherapy start on July 10. The results of the PET scan were shocking and devastating. They found mor lesions on her left femur and left pelvis.  So in addition to port placement and starting chemotherapy on July 10th we had another biopsy. We anticipate results in 2 weeks. Cincinnati tumor program is communicating with Riley’s and we are checking regarding the surgeons that are available. I appreciate all the things friends have done so far- helping changing out her loft bed for a full size bed and desk, sending Rebecca gifts, walking the dogs and helping to organize all the help. This is a long journey that we were not anticipating, we will be required to meet our out of pocket maximum this year and next year as we work to fight this aggressive cancer. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

<div>Less than a week ago, I suddenly lost the love of my life. Matt was the most important person in my life since we met almost 6 years ago. Just over a year ago, I was diagnosed with a tumor in my brain that required specialized surgery that required me moving. No questions asked, he followed me to Georgia from Indiana. We sold my house and most of our belongings, left our jobs at Subaru and started completely over, all to support me. He quickly began a job here that he loved and thrived at while I recovered. I soon started a job too and we developed our new life here in Georgia. 
</div>
<div>It was this past Wednesday when I actually began a new job, at the same employer as him, that tragedy struck. Our finances have become completely intertwined.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The situation is complicated and delicate. I am asking for funds to help cover bills that Matt would normally help me with until I can find a new living situation, which has it's own hurdles ( such as our three very loved dogs that we have together). 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Never in my life did I imagine I would need to navigate this path of immense grief. I appreciate everyone's support and sympathy, as well as privacy in this time. 
</div>

Sudden and tragic loss

<div>Hi, My name is Jessica and I'm trying to raise some funds for a wonderful coworker and her family who just went through a tragic loss. Gretchen and I have worked very closely together for the past year or so and she and her family are more than deserving of some help. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In late February, Tim (father to Gretchen and husband to Anissa)  went to the doctor for weight loss and inappetence. Shortly there afterwards, he was rushed to the ER due to fever, pain, and declining health. In the ER, it was discovered that he had fluid buildup in his lungs and abdomen. There, he stayed in the hospital for a few weeks undergoing multiple procedures, tests, and bloodwork to try and diagnose the cause of the fluid buildup and previous symptoms. After 2 weeks in the hospital, they received the heartbreaking diagnosis of at least 5 different types of cancer throughout his body. After a discussion with an oncologist, it was decided/determined that he didn't have much more time. Tim wanted to be at home with his family when he passed, so that's exactly what his family did. He was taken home to live his last 3 days in his home surrounded by his family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This family has been left with not only grief but some very unexpected medical bills as well as the cost of a funeral in a very short timeframe. Anything that could be donated would greatly help Gretchen and her family out in this time of need.

Unexpected medical bills and funeral expenses

Hello everyone, I am asking for your support in helping me fund my trip to Honduras this summer. As many of you may know, I was in an accident due to black ice where my car slid out of control and was totaled. With this, I work full time since graduating midterm in hopes to save enough for my trip to Honduras this summer. Due to my accident I had to use what I had saved to go towards getting a new vehicle that was reliable and am back at square one. This summer I had plans to go back to El Porvenir, Honduras to teach English to people within the community as well as to help at their local orphanage, La Casa De Girasol. I had already discussed with a couple of the kids about my return and my first thought coming out of shock from the accident was how disappointed the kids would be when I told them I could no longer go. However, I don’t wantto just give up. God willing, I will go back. He has a plan for me and I hope that you will find it in you to help me still make this personal mission <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);">possible</span>.<img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/71843921_167952271772060_r.jpg" alt="Image" width="100%" media_type="3" /><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);"><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/71843921_1679522716840602_r.jpg" alt="Image" width="100%" media_type="3" /></span><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/71843921_1679522716963012_r.jpg" alt="Image" width="100%" media_type="3" /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/71843921_1679522717132749_r.jpg" alt="Image" width="100%" media_type="3" />

<div>My name is Olivia Juarez and I am a senior at Benton Central Jr. Sr. High School. I am involved in a new club at BC called Business Professionals of America (BPA). This organization is for students planning to pursue a career in business management, information technology, finance, office administration, and many other related fields. I will be attending The University of Alabama to double major in marketing and advertising in the Fall of 2023.
</div>
<div>In BPA, I am a part of the Presentation Team where we are given a prompt and have to present to judges why we believe the gig economy is a valid business model. During the Regional competition, my team placed 1st and was able to move to the State level. At State, we placed 2nd and qualified for Nationals in Anaheim, California. For both Regionals and State, I was able to work concessions, fundraise through Rise n’ Roll Bakery, and cleaning up after home football games. We will leave for California on April 26 and return on the 30th. During this time, I will sadly be missing out on major senior activities such as prom. Although I could not be more excited to be able to compete in California. The total cost of the trip is roughly $1,845. Here is a short breakdown of this cost:
</div>
<div>Registration &amp; Hotel: $700
</div>
<div>Flight: $600
</div>
<div>Shuttle: $45
</div>
<div>Food: $200
</div>
<div>Tours: $300
</div>
<div>Because of this short deadline, I would very much appreciate your contribution to allowing me to gain experience and have the opportunity to go and compete at Nationals. Thank you!
</div>

Help Olivia Attend BPA Nationals

<div>Hello, 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Anyone who knows my parents, knows that they are the most hardworking and dedicated people. Tonight, on Christmas Eve Eve, their barn caught on fire due to a heating lamp issue. My parents dedicate a lot of their time to the livestock and the upkeep of that barn. R5R will need A LOT of repairs so that our animals have a warm place to sleep at night. If you could just donate a few dollars or even a few cents, to help them with the rebuilding process, we would greatly appreciate it! Every little bit counts! If you cannot donate, just sharing it will help tremendously! Thank you.

My parents farm

Early this year, I was walking home from the gym on a particularly cold day. I was still dressed in my running clothes. And as I neared my home, I passed by a 76-year old woman dressed in a floor length faux mink coat. She was gripping tightly to a railing. ‘You look great,’ I told her.  Then she pointed at my own clothes— ‘Let me ask you a question,’ she said. ‘Why is it always white boys who wear shorts in the winter?’<br /><br />And thus began my friendship with Stephanie. One of Stephanie's more endearing  traits is that she will launch into a wild story within seconds of meeting a person-- often before customary greetings are exchanged. And that's exactly what she did. She began telling me stories from the 1970's, when she worked as a burlesque dancer named Tanqueray. Her memory for detail was amazing, and she had a singular way of describing things. Stephanie will say the wildest things without a hint of self-consciousness. It really has a way of drawing you in. And after she'd been going for about five minutes, I interrupted for long enough to ask if I could run to my house and get my camera.  <br /><br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/51307760_1600541509357281_r.jpeg" alt="51307760_1600541509357281_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br /><br />The resulting interview went quite viral, as many of you will remember. And Stephanie had a lot of fun with it.  People were stopping her on the street all day long. And Stephanie loves an audience-- even if it’s just an audience of one. So anyone who stopped her for a selfie would leave ten minutes later with an earful of stories. And what stories they were.  Nobody has lived a life like Stephanie’s. The two of us agreed to meet regularly at a nearby diner, so I could get her whole story down on paper. We did about twenty interviews together. Our initial plan was to create a podcast. But after we'd gone quite a distance down that path, circumstances suddenly changed. <br /><br />Stephanie has been in pain for as long as I've known her. When we first met she was walking with a cane. And every time we walked to the diner, she'd grip tightly to my arm. Even then-- it would take us fifteen minutes to travel half a block. She’d wince in pain whenever she was jostled or bumped. Occasionally she’d scream out. It was clear that something was seriously wrong with her leg. She attributed the injury to a bad fall that she'd suffered a few months earlier, but she seemed confident that she was on the mend. When the pandemic started, Stephanie and I continued our conversations over the phone. She would call me several times a day. And whenever I didn't answer, she'd always leave a voicemail—usually telling me some story she’d just remembered. Last month I grew concerned when a few days passed without hearing from her. I called a neighbor to check up on her, and he heard Stephanie's voice coming from the back bedroom. She'd taken a bad fall and had been on the floor for 72 hours without food or water. The EMTs broke down her door and took her to the hospital. <br /><br />Ever since the fall, Stephanie has been unable to stand or walk. She is in a lot of pain. She's always been  a private person in many ways, but the current crisis has necessitated a candor about her situation. We’ve hired a team of professionals to make her apartment clean and comfortable. We’ve gotten her a 24-hour home health aide. She now has a physical therapist coming to the apartment multiple times a week.  And we're working on handling the back rent and eviction notices. Her health is not improving as quickly as we'd like, but Stephanie remains absolutely convinced that she is on the mend. Unfortunately her unorthodox lifestyle hasn't qualified her for social security. And she doesn’t currently have insurance. (Though we're trying to get her signed up for Medicare.) Her care is extremely expensive. So far I’ve been using funds from the HONY Patreon, but it’s not sustainable long term.   <br /><br />Stephanie and I have decided to scrap our idea of making a podcast. And I’ve spent the last few weeks retooling the story for publication on Humans of New York. Our plan is to raise funds for Stephanie’s care alongside the telling of her story. The ultimate goal is for Stephanie to live the rest of her life on her own terms. Maybe that means an assisted living facility. Maybe that means remaining in her apartment with the assistance of a home health aide. I’m not sure. But I want to provide her with enough resources so that it’s her decision, and not a decision forced upon her. But I’m not viewing this as charity. Stephanie brings a priceless resource to the table—her story. We're just going to tell that story using a new model.  Instead of selling advertising, or selling it to a publisher, we’re asking for voluntary contributions from anyone who’s gotten value from Stephanie’s narrative. If the story of her life has made you laugh, or cry, or think—please consider compensating the person who lived it. Because right now her story is the one thing she has to offer.<br /><br />We are being very thoughtful with the money. Stephanie knows that there are risks involved with publicly raising funds for a person in her vulnerable situation. So with her blessing, we will be placing the money in a trust to ensure that it provides sustainable, long term care. The trust will cover her living expenses and health care needs moving forward. (Which will admittedly be quite extensive.) And at Stephanie’s request, any money remaining at the end of her life will be donated to <a href="https://www.a-b-c.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Association To Benefit Children</a> —a highly respected New York charity dedicated to helping the city’s most vulnerable children.<br /><br />Please consider joining us as we seek to transform Stephanie’s life.<br /><br /><br />----------------------------------------------------------<br />Humans of New York is audience supported.<br />If you would like to support Humans of New York, you can do so by joining the <a href="https://www.patreon.com/humansofnewyork" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Patreon. </a><br />Or by <a href="https://bit.ly/PreorderHumans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">preordering Humans </a>, which will be published on October 6th.<br /><br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/51307760_1600634161839896_r.jpeg" alt="51307760_1600634161839896_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" />

Nathan Sparger gone too soon. <br /><br />I just read read a comment - “If only our love could save them.”  He’d be here today if that was the case. So many people loved Nate. <br /><br /> When we are young we don’t think we need life insurance but unfortunately circumstances happen beyond our control. <br /><br />I’m asking for any amount of donation. <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/34589948_1542385945980203_r.jpeg" alt="34589948_1542385945980203_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" />Doesn’t matter how small.  It will all add up and help his family with final expenses.

Burial Expense for Nate Sparger

Dad was involved in an auto accident and is going to need long term care. Many friends and family have reached out asking what they can do to help. I thought I would help provide an opportunity for just that. He is at a hospital far from home and Mom is trying to stay by his side. The medical bills will pile up. There will be a need for therapy and lots of care.
