<div><strong>**UPDATE:</strong> This fundraiser was initially established to support a toy drive for Damar’s community, sponsored by the Chasing M’s Foundation. However, it has received renewed support in light of Damar’s current battle and we can’t thank all of you enough. Your generosity and compassion mean the world to us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As representatives of Damar, the team at Jaster Athletes posted the fundraiser updates and will work with the Hamlin family, The Chasing M's Foundation, and the GoFundMe team to ensure the safe delivery of funds.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Damar created The Chasing M’s Foundation to use as a vehicle to bring lasting impact to his community. The foundation supports toy drives, back-to-school drives, kids camps, and more. We're hopeful about Damar's future involvement in disbursing the incredibly generous contributions.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is the only current fund that is being used by the Hamlin Family. We appreciate your understanding as we give them the time and space they need to focus on Damar's health first.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Again, thank you for your thoughts, prayers and support during this time. <strong>UPDATE**</strong>

</div>
<div>As I embark on my journey to the NFL, I will never forget where I come from and I am committed to using my platform to positively impact the community that raised me. I created The Chasing M's Foundation as a vehicle that will allow me to deliver that impact, and the first program is the 2020 Community Toy Drive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This campaign gives you the opportunity to contribute to our first initiative and positively impact children who have been hardest hit by the pandemic. 100% of the funds raised will go toward the purchase of toys for kids in need.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are not able to contribute monetarily, you can support this initiative in other ways. We are accepting donated toys at the Daycare Center or simply spread the word by sharing this fundraiser on your social channels.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for supporting me on and off the field. I am grateful to have the opportunity to work with you to help make the holiday season a little brighter for the kids in our community.

<div>You may have recently seen a video of "Waffle House Wendy" effortlessly brushing aside a thrown chair like an absolute boss. The clip has gone viral, is spawning memes, and "Wendy" has stepped forward with the full story.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I love Waffle House and I hate to see hardworking people like her being put in situations like this. While this incident is in the past and she has since moved on from Waffle House, I thought it would be a nice gesture to start this fundraiser for her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All the funds raised will go directly to her (since she is the designated beneficiary) and the funds will be wholly hers to spend in any manner she chooses. It's a true discretionary fund that she can use however she wants.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>P.S. You can find her on Twitter at @WitchDragon5

<div>Mrs. Ella Irby spent 45 years as a server at Bogue’s restaurant. She is now jobless after Bogue’s shut their doors permanently without notice.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> She is perhaps known best for her sweet rolls but what many do not know about her is that she has 3 adult children including one who is disabled, 8 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild (whom I hear is spoiled rotten).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While Mrs. Ella’s husband spends his days taking care of their disabled son, Mrs. Ella spent her days taking care of us at Bogue’s. She always greeted us with a smile a lending ear and of course a sweet roll. Her love for her customers would shine with a greeting by name or well wishes for family and friends.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> As expected, she is heartbroken she wasn’t given a chance to say goodbye to her beloved customers and devastated that Bogue’s permanently shut their doors without notice.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> With Mrs Ella’s permission, I created this GoFundMe to allow the community to show our appreciation and love for Mrs. Ella. I am so very lucky to be able to call this incredible, kind and loving woman my friend and she deserves all of the love and recognition we can throw her way.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> So, let us show her how much as a community we love and support her.

Mrs. Ella Irby, jobless after 45 yrs at Bogue’s

<div>A few months ago Lauren started experiencing terrible back pain. She tried chiropractors, doctors, physical therapy and had no relief. On September 16th her father brought her to the ER because the pain became unbearable. It felt like a kidney stone or being in labor. They did a ct scan which showed a grapefruit size tumor. They did surgery the following Monday, removing 98-99% of it (She currently has 22 staples in her abdomen,OuCh!!). September 29th she received the phone call with the results from her pathology report. She has been diagnosed with Pleomorphic Liposarcoma (cancer of the fat cells). She wants everyone to know so she can have the most people praying for her and her family. And if anyone knows anything about this rare diagnosis please let her know. She is very scared and very sad but she going to get through this. 


</div>

</div>


<div>We created this GoFundMe to help out with any medical bills that may come her way as well as everyday expenses during this hard time. Any donation is much appreciated!

My name is Katherine Burrell. I am raising funds for my husband, Kenny Burrell. He is a legendary jazz guitarist who has contributed much to the world of music. Following his 85th birthday concert at Royce Hall, he suffered an accident that led to a two year medical leave. He is still in recovery, on sabbatical, and writing his autobiography, as well as two other books. I am taking care of Kenny at home as his sole caregiver.  His medical expenses—that is, the supplies required for his care— exceed our monthly income. Additionally, we were both victims of identity theft and bank fraud, and the bank has refused to return a majority of the stolen funds, which totaled more than $60,000. (Some  of the funds they returned were actually payments I made to creditors, which they returned in error, and which I had to repay). In the process of mismanaging our claim, the bank returned payments I made to creditors as far back as 9 months, seriously impacting our credit scores. We no longer qualify to rent an apartment or open lines of credit and/or loans. This is based on multiple factors—we must earn three times the amount of the rent; our credit scores; our current revolving debts. We are also currently in litigation with our HOA, which has been costly, such that I have spent almost all of our savings. We are facing possible foreclosure and homelessness if the HOA wins a judgment against us. If we are unable to pay the judgment, they have the right to foreclose on our property. I am fearful of homelessness for Kenny’s sake, and terrified of how I will care for him if left without a home. We will have to move out of our apartment in the next 1-2 weeks for demolition, which will include mold remediation, lead abatement, and major construction. None of this will be covered by insurance, and the HOA may be successful in passing all of the costs to us. I can’t maintain Kenny’s health and safety in that kind of environment. I am concerned that when that occurs with only 24 hours notice, I will have no place to relocate nor the funds to do so. It is my fervent, heartfelt desire to continue to care for Kenny as he deserves given who he is and all that he has given to the world through his music, and the beautiful spirit from which it emanated. It saddens and embarrasses me to desperately need and request help, but it is necessary at this point. If anyone is willing to help us at this time, I would deeply appreciate it, and I will do my best to pay you back in the future. Thank you, and God bless you.
