<div>
 ❤️ Please Help Us Fight for Joseph Spina— We Need You Now
</div>
<div>
 We are reaching out today with heavy hearts to ask for your help for someone who means so much to us — our dear friend, Joseph Spina.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 On August 19th, Joe received the worst news of his life, a incidental and devastating diagnosis of Stage IV pancreatic cancer with liver metastases. After surviving heart attacks and open heart surgery not just 2 years ago, then receiving a prostate cancer diagnosis last year, Joe has yet the greatest challenge of his life ahead.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 There are no easy words for what this diagnosis means, and none of us were prepared to face the possibility that we could lose someone we love.
</div>
<div>
 But we are not ready to give up.
</div>
<div>
 Joe's oncology team is fighting alongside him and working urgently to get him access to a newly approved medication called Rasonque, which they believe may help extend his life.
</div>
<div>
 There is just one heartbreaking obstacle: insurance is delaying access to the medication.
</div>
<div>
 And with metastatic pancreatic cancer, time matters. Every day matters.
</div>
<div>
 While Joe's doctors continue fighting with the insurance company, we are trying to do everything we possibly can to make sure that a financial barrier does not stand between Joe and a treatment that could give him more time.
</div>
<div>
 The cost is overwhelming — over $40,000 for just one month of the medication.
</div>
<div>
 We know that asking for $40,000 is a lot. But we also know that when someone you love is fighting for their life, you don't stop looking for ways to help.
</div>
<div>
 So we are asking for your help.
</div>
<div>
 If you can donate, please give whatever you can. $5,$10,$15, $20, $50— every dollar brings us closer. If you are fortunate enough to be able to give more, we are incredibly grateful.
</div>
<div>
 And if you cannot donate, we completely understand.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Please pray for Joe, Cathy and Joey. Please share this message. Please help us get the word out. You never know who might see this and be able to make a difference.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 We want Joe to know that he is not fighting this battle alone.
</div>
<div>
 We want him to have every possible opportunity to keep fighting.
</div>
<div>
 We want more time — more mornings, more conversations, more laughter, more memories with the people who love him.
</div>
<div>
 Through every health challenge thus far, Joe has faced each with dignity and positivity for his son, Joey and his wife, Cathy. Please help us give Joe that fighting chance.
</div>
<div>
 Our goal is $40,000, and we need to reach it as quickly as possible.
</div>
<div>
 From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for every donation, every prayer, every share, and every kind word. Your support means more to Joe and all of us than we can put into words.
</div>
<div>
 Please stand with Joe. Please help us fight for him. And please help us buy him the most precious thing we can give — time. ❤️
</div>

Stand With Joseph Spina in His Fight for More Time

<div><strong>I am about to literally take a stab in the dark. I am representing USA in Blind Fencing in France. </strong>I need your help to fund FIE equipment and travel. I hopefully will be able to travel with my guide dog, Yodel.
</div>
<div>I am Jason Brown. I am legally blind as a result of traumatic brain injuries. I discovered fencing about 8 years ago while looking for a sport to help my physical and mental health. I feel my best with physical activity. It took me some time to recover from the last TBI. When I was ready, I found fencing. Grateful for fencings and finding the next level, Blind Fencing. The increase in mobility, balance, and handling the surprise of people nearness to me are a few of the great benefits. Blind Fencing provides me a deeper sense of my abilities and community.
</div>
<div>The goal is to expand opportunities for Blind Fencing in the United States. I want to increase opportunities for training and competitions for Blind Fencing.
</div>
<div>My trip to France is a step along the journey. The ultimate goal, Blind Fencing as a Paralympic Sport.
</div>
<div>Thank you for your support.

<div>Please assist with the Funeral and Final expenses for Mark Stasinos Jr.  Mark Stasinos Jr. the son of Mark Stasinos Sr. passed away suddenly on Sunday, July 6th, 2024. He was 30 years old.

<div>Brodie Macdonald is a 16 year old West Lothian based sabre fencer who has represented Great Britain internationally. Brodie has only been fencing competitively for 3 years and has progressed impressively in that time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He has just been selected to fence for Scotland in the Commonwealth Cadet and Junior Championships in July 2024, in New Zealand. This is huge honour and a very exciting opportunity for any athlete. Fencing is a particular challenge in Scotland as there are few competitions so Brodie has to regularly travel to ranking competitions in England and, this last year, further afield in Europe.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>New Zealand is an amazing chance for Brodie to represent Scotland - a dream since he started fencing competitively just under 3 years ago. However, fencing is not a funded sport. He has had to pay for all kit, national and international travel, clubs, training camps and coaching, supported by his parents. We have been advised that the Commonwealths is going to be very expensive. For Brodie alone, it will be approximately £4500 for just the basic flights, accommodation and fees.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any support people can give to help Brodie's progress would be hugely appreciated. Thank you!
</div>
<div><br />

<div>Update: I couldn't be more thankful. Donations over the amount goal will be used for all things in Conlans memory, a beautiful superhero flower arrangement, gas to and from hospice, dinner for the kids at home and meals all things directly related to grieving. Again, I could have not have done this without you all!!! I am so thankful!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As Conlans Mother I am asking for the financial support to help raise enough funds to help cover the cost of Conlans service and cremation as he enters heavens gates! I currently have zero income. There is no way I can do this without help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you all for your support. Conlans gut has been shutting down and he is not strong enough to receive anymore IVs or a central line. Although his heart and lungs are strong that is not enough to keep my bubba alive. He will be transported to hospice today where he will stay until end of life. Please consider helping me through this.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please watch Chryssy's FB page for any further updates and please consider help me plan end of life for my son. Thank you all so much.

</div>
<div>Hello everybody, 
</div>
<div>On behalf of Ralph and our entire family, thank you so much for your generosity. It has warmed our souls during an incredibly difficult time. Of course we never anticipated so much support for Ralph, but we wanted you to know that we are working with a certified financial advisor to establish a Trust to properly receive the funds and use them for all of the original purposes we described. All funds will be used for Ralph's benefit, as his well-being and safety is our highest priority. Right now we will continue to focus on Ralph's recovery, but in the future we are considering setting up a charity.  
</div>
<div>Again, thank you so much for your support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>***Update on Ralph***
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ralph is currently at home with the family. He can ambulate and communicate. A true miracle considering what he survived.
</div>
<div>Each day is different. He has a long road ahead. However, we are very thankful that he is still here with us. I've been taking the time to read the emails and comments to Ralph. It warms our hearts to see him smile at all the kind words.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for loving Ralph
</div>

<div>On Thursday, April 13, 2023, my nephew Ralph P Yarl was on his way to pick up his twin younger brothers from their friend's house a few blocks away from his house. He didn't have his phone. He mistakenly went to the wrong house, one block away from the house where his siblings were. He pulled into the driveway and rang the doorbell. The man in the home opened the door, looked my nephew in the eye, and shot him in the head. My nephew fell to the ground, and the man shot him again. Ralph was then able to get up and run to the neighbor's house, looking for help.
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, he had to run to 3 different homes before someone finally agreed to help him after he was told to lie on the ground with his hands up.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ralph Pual Yarl is a fantastic kid, and I am not just saying this because he is my nephew. He truly is. At school, he is a member of the Technology Student Association and Science Olympia Team. Jazz and competition band. He is a section leader in the marching band; a scholar and one of the top bass clarinet players in Missouri. He recently earned Missouri All-State Band recognition with an honorable mention. He plays multiple instruments in the metropolitan youth orchestra. He is a 2022 Missouri scholar academy alumni. Ralph can often be found with a musical instrument. He loves them all.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Last summer, Ralph attended Missouri Scholar’s Academy, where he got a full college life experience. His goal is to attend Texas A&amp;M to major in chemical Engineering. When asked how he plans to get into this university, he said, “Well, if they have a scholarship for music or academics, I know I can get it.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ralph's teacher and friends describe him as “ a kind soul,” “quiet,” “friendly,” “well-mannered,” “always willing to help,” “super smart,” and a “musical genius.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ralph was looking forward to graduating high school and finally getting the opportunity to visit West Africa before starting college.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Life looks a lot different right now. Even though he is doing well physically, he has a long road ahead mentally and emotionally. The trauma that he has to endure and survive is unimaginable. He is our miracle. We have heard these types of stories many times, and unfortunately, most black boys are not alive to get another chance.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ralph deserves to have the future that he has dreams about. He deserves to be the light that shows the world that LOVE wins and that humanity is still Good.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>However, he will need a lot of help to get there. Funds from this account will be used for his medical bills and therapy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any additional funds will be use for college expenses at Texas A&amp;M, a trip to West Africa, and other expenses.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you
</div>

<div>On April 14, my mother passed away very unexpectedly. She had no life insurance and no bank account. She was residing in a local nursing home at the time. 
</div>
<div>My brother, Frank and I are left to deal with her passing and her end-of-life expenses which we are not at all able to do. So, we are asking for help.
</div>
<div>Lex was 67 years old. She was an avid music lover. A violinist or fiddle player depending on who you ask. 
</div>
<div>She was a festival promoter and a huge contributor to many of the same festivals.
</div>
<div>She loved gardening and had at very least ten green thumbs. She could grow anything with absolutely nothing, and could revive any plant with an issue with a little TLC.
</div>
<div>She was a fantastic cook who didn't know how to cook for less than 10 people at a time. She worked at many restaurants throughout her life, which she absolutely loved doing.
</div>
<div>Her love for crafts was anything but normal. Maybe a little obsessive. She could work with wood, leather, glass, screen printing, flowers, flower pressings, flower arrangements and so much more.
</div>
<div>She had family and too many friends to count who loved her and will miss her dearly.
</div>
<div>If you can, please donate to this cause. Any amount will help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mara and John Franklin (Frankie) Lloyd.

<div>Hello everyone!<br />It’s Paolo Pizzo and Luigi Samele.<br />through the help of Olympic champion Olga kharlan we are trying to help our Ukrainian fencer friends.<br />We do not passively bear the idea that in Ukraine our fellow athletes, opponents of many sports battles on the fencing tournaments , are forced to live all this. <br />We are committed to distributing the funds raised among those who have suffered most from the devastating impact of the war. The figure will be conveyed on the recommendation of Olga Kharlan (Olympic and World Champion) who will be able, better than anyone else, to interface with Ukrainian athletes.<br /><br />Father Don Francesco Giuliani, legal representative of the Church of " Nostra Signora di Coromoto" ( Rome ) , offered the support of the Parish bank account to manage the funds in maximum transparency.<br /><br /><br />ITA

<div>Hello Everyone,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your willingness to help communities in Philadelphia combat food insecurity has inspired us to do more. Since June 2020, our project has fed over 170,000 people in Philadelphia.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Did you know that when all of our fridges are stocked with fresh food, more than 85 people are fed every day? We still need your help now more than ever. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>1.  Inflation in June alone climbed to 9.1%.  The cost of groceries is up 12.2% over the past year, an increase that can be especially painful for people with low incomes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>2.  We are facing a historically unprecedented set of simultaneous challenges and we are doing our best to strengthen our commitment to support our neighbors.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>3.  As a result, our food partners have felt the "squeeze" and are not able to donate as much as they used to.  We need the extra funds to supplement this shortage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>4.  We have increased our donation ask as we have a specific goal in mind.  
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>5.  If all of our donors gave only $25 today, we would have enough to cover food costs until the end of December.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>6.  Please see our latest presentation here:  <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yIsDX4MzeSppxMgD_VCRMlUSUP-aPRlX/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yIsDX4MzeSppxMgD_VCRMlUSUP-aPRlX/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yIsDX4MzeSppxMgD_VCRMlUSUP-aPRlX/view?usp=sharing</a></a>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>7.  We appreciate your generosity in advance.  Stay tuned for more updates.
