<div>Hi, my name is Lanae.  I’m a working mom, a wife, and a proud fighter. I’ve spent my whole life pushing through challenges without asking for much help. But now, I’m facing something I can’t power through on my own.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Recently, I was diagnosed with hydrocephalus caused by a brain tumor (cyst), a condition that can lead to sudden death if left untreated. The neurosurgeon explained that I’ll need brain surgery to remove the cyst and relieve the pressure. If I delay treatment, the risks are unpredictable, and potentially fatal.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The surgery is scheduled for early September and will involve an intensive hospital stay, followed by several weeks of recovery. I’m holding it together emotionally, but financially… it’s overwhelming.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Despite having insurance, I was shocked to learn that:

</div>

<div>	•	I’ll owe over $5,000 out-of-pocket before anesthesia or other hidden costs

</div>

<div>	•	I don’t qualify for short-term disability due to a technicality, meaning I’ll be without income for up to 12 weeks

</div>

<div>	•	I’ll still be responsible for caring for my family, even as I recover

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’m not the type to ask for help lightly. I’ve always been the one people count on. But right now, I need a little help so I can get through this without sacrificing the care I need or the well-being of my family.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Your support will help me:

</div>

<div>	•	Cover the cost of surgery and hospital bills

</div>

<div>	•	Make ends meet while I recover without paid time off

</div>

<div>	•	Relieve the financial stress so I can focus on healing

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Even $5 or $10 makes a difference. If you can’t give, sharing this means the world.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you from the bottom of my heart for standing with me. I’m still hopeful. I believe in community. And I believe that with a little help, I’ll be alright 

</div>

<div><br />

Help Lanae Overcome Brain Surgery Costs

Greetings my name is Rachel Whittaker, I’m a young farmer and doula. I run a farming business called Sagare’s Seed. That’s centered around providing pregnant women and babies in insecure food locations with fresh local produce. My goal is to help regulate positive birth outcomes through nutrition. Every Saturday morning I deliver boxes of fresh produce to mothers and their families from local farmers. I’ve recently had an amazing offer to obtain 2 acres of my own land and have until October 1st to secure the property. It’s a great opportunity, the land is right within the community that needs me most! I’m starting this fundraiser to help me in my efforts in making this dream come true. I know $4,500.00 is a lot to obtain in a short period of time but I believe with the help of those who truly believe in this cause it can be done. Thank you so much.

Help Sagare’s Seed Obtain Land!

My beautiful mother is about to have her eighth child.  <br /><br />She is also a midwife who serves the Detroit Michigan area. <br /><br />Midwifes don't get maternity leave. This postpartum time needs to be healing and supported so she may take proper care. For this, she needs to be with her body and baby, while knowing the rest of her children are being cared for. <br /><br />For the first three sacred months she will be unable to work and attend births. <br />These funds will ensure the safety of her and her children in a time of uncertainty, so she may rest and her babies thrive. They will go towards postpartum services, monthly groceries, and rent.<br /><br />Hoping to reach our goal of 5,000 within 3 to 4 weeks. <br /><br />Anything you can offer would be so beyond appreciated. This will benefit a whole family of color. Thank you.

<p>It’s about that time of the year when people ask me what I want for my birthday. If you know me then you know that I’m not big on gifts. <br /><br />This year I am asking for people to donate to the love of my life.  Amir Al-Din is going to a private school for gifted children in the fall which means that I’m a tuition paying mom now.  This decision came after a long struggle/battle with a school system that didn’t fit his needs. He’s a child that’s considered twice exceptional and likely neurodivergent so the traditional classroom just wasn’t working. I would be super grateful for anything you could donate to the cost of his education, books and supplies.  
</p>

<p><br />Thank you in advance for the love and support!
