<div>We are asking for your support for Sneyder, a senior at Jamesville-Dewitt High School, who is facing an incredibly difficult and uncertain time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sneyder came to the United States with the hope of building a better future. He is now unable to safely return to his home country of Ecuador and is navigating a complicated legal immigration process that will determine whether he can remain in the United States.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recently, Sneyder was detained by ICE on his way to soccer practice and later released. Although he is currently back in the community, his situation remains uncertain. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At just 17 years old, Sneyder is trying to do what any student should be able to do: go to school, graduate, and begin planning for his future. Instead, he is facing significant legal expenses.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are raising funds to help cover Sneyder’s immigration-related legal fees and other necessary expenses associated with his case. Every contribution, regardless of size, will help give him access to the  assistance he needs and the opportunity to complete his hard-earned degree.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser is just as meaningful. Your support can help spread the word and connect Sneyder with people who may be able to help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sneyder has persevered to make it to his senior year. We want to give him the chance to finish what he started, graduate with his classmates, and continue working toward a hopeful future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for standing with Sneyder and for supporting his education, his future, and his opportunity to remain safely in the community he has come to call home.
</div>

Stand With Sneyder as He Fights to Stay in the US

<div>To the friends and family of Alex Ramirez Gonzalez and Yannier Vazquez,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for the incredible love, strength, and unwavering support you have shown Alex, Yannier, and their families throughout this difficult journey. Today, we are asking you to stand with them once more as we prepare to welcome them home following their long-awaited release from detainment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are raising funds to cover their <strong>approved bail for release</strong>, which is the final step needed to bring them back to the people who love them. These funds will go directly toward securing their immediate release, covering associated legal and court expenses, and helping them rebuild their lives after more than four months in detainment — time during which their personal, professional, and financial stability was placed on hold.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The path to freedom is often burdened with overwhelming financial obstacles, especially for immigrants navigating complex legal systems. By contributing, you are not only helping post bail, but also helping Alex and Yannier transition safely and successfully back into their community, where they are deeply loved and valued.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please consider donating if you are able, and share this fundraiser with anyone whose life has been touched by these remarkable men. Let us come together to reflect the same compassion, generosity, and kindness that Alex and Yannier have always shown to others.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Welcome home,  Alex and Yan.
</div>

Welcome Home, Alex and Yan! 

<div>Stand up for Rick and Jeremy 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>You may have already heard or read the news regarding Jeremy. A normal morning getting ready to start work and gearing up for the busy holiday season was derailed by a sudden threat from ICE.  ICE said they would get him. That day, the next day, or the next, but they would get him. It was a terrifying prospect. 

</div>

<div>Rick and Jeremy had to make some very quick decisions. After getting a lot of advice and support from a wide range of people, Jeremy left the USA for his native France to avoid the possibility of being sent to a detention center.

</div>

<div>On the spur of the moment, he had to leave behind his husband, his dogs, -  his whole life. 

</div>

<div>And now Rick is here, trying to do alone what they had planned to do together.

</div>

<div>Rick’s primary goal now is to be with his husband. In order to do that, he needs to manage all the issues of emigrating - All while their plan had been to prepare for the busy season at their business. They desperately need money, not only to make up for the loss of revenue of missing out on the major profit season, but to deal with all the sudden expenses of preparing to move.

</div>

<div>Please help support a hard working couple whose lives and plans have been turned upside-down. 

</div>

<div><br />

<div>Hi I’m Dave Montgomery. Jen is one of my best &amp; closest friends &amp; is like a sister to me.
</div>
<div>As many of may know that Jen Crave &amp; the world lost an amazing young man Jerry Cunningham, her boyfriend of 7 years, early morning in their home on Saturday August 9th 2025. He was a very humble, greatful, stand up guy. They loved each other with all their hearts. He helped her with every day things &amp; since Jerry’s passing Jen’s income will be cut in half.
</div>
<div>Although Jerry’s cremation will be covered; unfortunately she needs help with his memorial event, costs, &amp; with her living expenses that are going to be tight over the next few months until she figures out her next course of action.
</div>
<div>We humbly ask for your support, no matter how small, as every contribution will make a significant impact not only in helping her with her living expenses, but also for obtaining an urn for Jerry &amp; mementoes of him; such as glass or metal necklaces with his ashes for her &amp; the kids.
</div>
<div>Your prayers, condolences, &amp; hugs are all so deeply appreciated! Thank you in advance for all the love, support, generosity, &amp; kindness. Love to you all; God Bless.
</div>

Jens unfortunate loss of Jerry: Memorial-Living Expense Fund

<div>Hi everyone,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are reaching out again during one of the most difficult times our family has faced. <strong>Our dad, Mark Burnam, is currently battling cancer for the second time.</strong> After a period of remission from Lymphoma, his cancer has sadly returned, and he’s now facing an even tougher road ahead.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This relapse has brought with it not only emotional and physical challenges, but also more financial strain. Between the cost of traveling for a clinical trial in New York City (gas, parking, and food costs), the impact of lost income, and the need to cover basic daily expenses, our family is struggling to keep up.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our dad is one of the strongest people we know—hardworking, humble, and always putting others before himself. Seeing him go through this again is really difficult, let alone the financial issues. We want him to focus on healing, not bills.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re asking for your support to help cover:
</div>
<div>•	Travel costs to and from treatment centers across New York State
</div>
<div>•	Basic living expenses like groceries and utilities
</div>
<div>•	Medical bills and associated care costs
</div>
<div>•	Recovery support during and after treatment
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We deeply appreciate everyone who was able to donate last year during his first diagnosis. <strong>Any amount, no matter how small, will make a huge difference. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page and keeping him in your thoughts means the world to us.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for your kindness and support during this incredibly hard time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div>Mark’s kids (Cheyenne, Brad, Tyler, and Hugh), his wife (Lana) and our entire family.

<div>Hello, it's Halley of TOMT.  As some of you know I am the host of The Original Miss Thing talk show on Instagram.  If you would like to show your support for the show and my 2 intellectually disabled sons, or help out with Merry Mount Wildflower Sanctuary, here is an opportunity for you to do so.  Your support will help in the long term planning of my children's independent living goal, and the wildflower sanctuary which is part of that goal.  Your support is greatly appreciated.

<p>Hello, this is the Doney family; Daniel, Amber, and their five children Odin (14), Molly (12), Elianna (10), and twins Bree and Quinn (9) and they need some financial help. In the past month their lives have been turned upside down due to a very shocking cancer diagnosis for Amber (41). 
</p><br /><br />
<p>Amber worked for 15 years as a Nurse, 14 of them at the VA Medical Center in Syracuse before recently deciding to take a position at Tully’s Good Times in Fayetteville so she would be able to spend more time at home with her children. About one month ago Amber noticed persistent pain in her left underarm but thought she had just pulled a muscle. When the pain did not go away, she discovered the source was a lump in her left breast. After a call to her doctor the next day, began the scariest next few weeks of her life full of mammograms, ultrasounds, biopsy, waiting…surgeon, oncologist, CT scans, waiting…., MRI, Bone scan, and you guessed it more waiting. Amber was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma grade 3 Stage 4 estrogen and progesterone negative HER2 positive that had metastasized to her lungs and liver. This cancer is fairly rare and pretty aggressive. Amber has had her port surgery and her first cycle of chemotherapy already and it has only been a month since she first felt the lump. Amber will also need to undergo a liver biopsy along with chemotherapy cycles every 3 weeks. 
</p><br /><br />
<p>With all the appointments, tests, and recovery Amber has been unable to maintain her Job at Tully’s and Dan has missed countless days at his job at Farmer’s Insurance accompanying her, to her numerous doctor visits. 
</p><br /><br />
<p>We are looking for some assistance to help keep the Doney family afloat while dealing with upcoming treatments and procedures. Any and all donations are welcome. If you are unable to donate, we would greatly appreciate you sharing the link for the page or prayers or positive energy you could send the Doney Family’s way. 
</p><br /><br />
<p>Thank you and God Bless you! 
</p>

Mother of 5 Needs Help Stage 4 Cancer

<div>Hello, my name is Karyn Burns Gerling and I had the honor and privilege to have Beth (Liz) Gerling as my beloved sister-in-law.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On Tuesday, August 20th, we lost our beautiful shining light Beth. Beth (or Liz or Ms. Gerling as she was known by her Utica/Columbus Elementary community) was a beloved mother, daughter, sister, educator, friend and ray of light to everyone around her. Her nearly 25 years as an educator allowed her magic and impact to be felt by thousands upon thousands of students. While we are heartbroken to not have her here on Earth with us any longer, Ms. Gerling's legacy will live on forever, by way of the thousands of students she taught, mentored, adored, cared for and loved with her big heart, giant smile, deep laugh and twinkle in her eye that we all cherished.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For those who were blessed to have Beth in their life, you know that her greatest achievement and absolute love of her life was her son Noah. While Beth's warmth and light was always present, it was never greater than when she was speaking of or in the presence of her pride and joy Noah. With the outpouring of support and asks of how people can support Noah, I am honored to be facilitating this GoFundMe as a means to honor Beth by supporting Noah and his future through a college trust. Funds raised in this effort will continue to honor Beth by supporting Noah with his college and future expenses and academic pathway as his continues his studies at Cornell University.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For those who wish to, please share a note below about a memory, laugh or moment treasured by you and yours with our sweet Beth. We will compile them at a later date for Noah to treasure and be able to reach for and see the many lives his incredible Mother touched for years to come.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lastly, on behalf of Steve, Diann, Dan, Brian and Noah, I want to extend the Gerling family's deep gratitude for the outpouring of support love and prayers sent during this terrible time. Please continue to keep both the Gerling family and her Columbus/Utica family and our sweet angel Beth in your thoughts and prayers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We love you, Beth, Liz, Ms. Gerling.
</div>

<div>In gratitude,

<div>Here we go..
</div>
<div>I hate this. My ego hates this. And yes if you're wondering I feel like a complete loser. But I also I will do whatever I have to.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have been working for six months to secure the refinance of my home.
</div>
<div>When I got married I funded the purchase of this house (along we many other things we had to do to secure it) but could not be on the mortgage bc I didn’t qualify to a bank working as a  freelance artist. Banks like stable good on paper people. So I trusted the person I was with to be be the sole name on the mortgage even though we both owned the home. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When we ended our relationship at the start of 2023, I had no idea it, would be such a painful process and be used to harm me in so many ways. Constantly dangling the home the kids and I lived in left me stressed and fearful. We agreed I would refinance in my name as i have been paying for the house since and when that process took longer than I hoped or planned, I was overwhelmed with the things that were done against me by people I once loved and trusted. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All I ever wanted was a house no one could take away from me. Growing up with constant housing insecurity, my life goal has been a home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The last six months almost broke me but:
</div>
<div>I have been approved and cleared to close.
</div>
<div>I have paid off all my debt.
</div>
<div>Last week the bank said there was unpaid tax money from the year we were married and I paid it off in full, bc I cannot wait to figure out half payments from my ex. 
</div>
<div>I had to use money I had saved for closing costs to do so.
</div>
<div>I need to secure this to be able to close this week. It’s insane I get it, a last resort, a Hail Mary, whatever you want to call it but real and it’s my life and just doing the best I can for my kids.
</div>

<div>Hello, we are FACES of Nottingham HS, the PTO organization of Nottingham High.  Our Band, Orchestra, and Choir programs are trying to raise enough money for us to go on our first ever overnight trip in many many years! This trip is important to us and our students for a number of reasons:
</div>
<div>1. They will be attending the Darien Lake Music Fest where they will compete against other schools, help our school and music program gain more notoriety, and receive valuable feedback from a professional judge.
</div>
<div>2. For many of our students, this is their first time going on an overnight trip with their friends. This is a valuable time for students to bond and create memories with one another.
</div>
<div>3. Students will be camping, which once again is a first for many of students. Giving students this opportunity to learn about camping and how to appreciate nature is incredibly invaluable to them.
</div>
<div>4. Many of our students are unable to pay for trips like this so any support we can get we are incredibly appreciate of it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All funds donated will go directly towards park and music fest entrance for Darien Lake and for any camping equipment we may need to rent or purchase.

<div>12/28/24 - If I don’t pay at least my $2342 and change back rent from November and December, I’m probably going to be evicted from my mobile home park (I own my mobile outright, but pay lot rent). I have $1200 in the bank to cover one month, but I can’t pay less than the current amount due (I tried last night). I have until the 31st to pay the current due amount, or the 5th to pay the total amount of $3512.75. Anything extra raised will go towards getting me caught up with monthly bills and towards some very necessary car repairs (tires, alignment, brakes, and a leaking transmission gasket) that will keep my 2015 Subaru on the road. Every little bit helps. 
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/78271841_173541381023618_r.jpeg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>7/26/24 - $2500 in AC and furnace repairs has put me behind AGAIN. I’ve put off some regular payments (3 months behind on electric, 2 months behind on internet) to cover other expenses, but s*%t is still coming due. I have a good budget for months with no emergencies, but it seems like the emergencies don’t stop. I can pay all my bills for August except for my rent (I live in a mobile home that I own, but have $1050 lot rent each month).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>03/18/24 - I reached out to a community I’m a part of, and they came through in February; however, I checked my bank account today and I’m in the hole another $1300. I just can’t seem to get ahead. I can’t go back to the same group again, but I have no place else to turn. My mom has been in the hospital and rehab, so I can’t rely on the Bank Of Mom, either.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>February - I am ashamed to admit that I overextended, ran up against overdraft fees with the bank, and my rent payment bounced. I receive SSDI because I had a stroke 7 years ago, and I have survivorship on my wife's pension, but when you start the month in the hole it's really hard to bail yourself out.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I tried to get an emergency loan, but my credit report is a work in progress and it's not quite good enough to get me approved just yet. I'm waiting on $650 from an old retirement account, as well as a $1500 state tax refund (yay Colorado for refunding sales tax revenue) but the state hasn't even started processing returns yet and refunds will take up to 30 days after processing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today I got a 30-day notice about my rent, which is $1050 for February. I am overdrawn $600 on my bank account. $3000 will allow me to get even with the bank and my landlord, plus leave a little to cover any incidents that might arise before March and the whole cycle starts again. Every little bit helps. My dogs, kittens, and I thank you for whatever you can give.
</div>

Keep me in my home - stroke survivor facing eviction

She passed suddenly due to a ruptured brain aneurysm, despite a successful surgery and the efforts of her post op after care the aneurysm still burst.

She worked for many years at Liverpool Golf and Country Club and was currently employed at Shiftys Bar &amp; Grill, right in the very neighborhood she grew up in.

<div>I'd like to introduce you to an extraordinary community business owner who could really use our love and support right now. Her name is Azella Marie, the proud owner of Oompa Loompyas, a beloved local food truck. Unfortunately, a devastating grease fire recently destroyed her truck, leaving her in a difficult situation.

Let's come together to prevent Azella from facing another undeserved tragedy. By digging deep and offering our support, we can help her acquire a new truck and get back to doing what she loves most—feeding the community.

<div>As many of you know, our good friends (Tom and Cindy McGuire) tragically lost their son, Liam this past week. We are starting this fund to assist Tom, Cindy, and Abby with any costs that may incur as a result of this tragedy as well as the beginning of a legacy fund in Liam's name (more on that as they are able to give some time, attention and love to it).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Liam was an adventurous and outgoing kid from the moment he could move. There was never a day in his young life in which he wasn’t tearing through our neighborhood making friends, inviting himself in for a meal or teaching the smaller kids something new! This smaller version of Liam grew to be a young man with many of the same qualities – adventurous, bright, friendly, and kind. His passion for skateboarding grew as did his “skateboarding” family and all would recall Liam as being the one they could count on, the one who always had their backs and the one who could always brighten their days with his smile and a good joke.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We can’t take away The McGuire’s unimaginable loss, but we can, as a community, come together to try to support and remember their boy who touched so many lives. Please consider a donation of any amount, as I’m sure it will be appreciated and put to good use.
</div>

<div>It is with deep sadness that we share that Jeannine King died suddenly and unexpectedly on Monday, April 3rd, leaving behind her 20-year-old son, Naima. Jeannine was a long-time special educator and school leader who impacted the lives of thousands of students, families and colleagues. She was an incredible educator and advocate for children, and particularly dedicated herself to mentoring special educators of the global majority. Jeannine's legacy will live on in the lives of her former students and her colleagues.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>More than any of this, her most important role was being a fierce and devoted mother to Naima. Jeannine was a single parent who paved the way for Naima's future with careful consideration and sacrifice. Naima is a talented artist, critical thinker and incredibly kind person. He is a beautiful reflection of his mother and her most important legacy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Naima is a trans man who was blessed to have a supportive and fiercely protective mother in his corner. Jeannine provided a safe and loving home for him to process his feelings about his identity, joined him in family counseling at the Gender and Family Project at the Ackerman Institute, and advocated tirelessly for him in every school setting to ensure that he and his transition process were respected and validated. Jeannine loves him unconditionally and was there with him every step of his journey to become himself fully, proudly and unapologetically. And now she isn't there for the rest of his journey. As you know the stakes are high for young trans people and it is hard to adequately express how devastating this loss is for Naima.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Naima is pursuing his education at the Maryland Institute College for Art (MICA) in Baltimore. Jeannine's passing has left Naima without his most important source of emotional and financial support. Naima is a determined and capable person, but is also only 20 years old and not ready to fully support himself while finishing his degree. We are committed to helping him continue his education and find a way to thrive in the life his mother envisioned for him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While Naima does the difficult work of grieving this enormous loss we want to provide help with living expenses and money he can use for college expenses. He is beginning his adult life without the aid of his most important champion. There is no replacing the love, guidance and devotion that Jeannine provided Naima, but we want to come together to support him as he finds his way forward without her.
</div>

In Loving Memory of Maya "Marshall" Pickard

<div>Hello Friends, Family and those who have a big heart, 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We all know OG has been out here in the community, always giving 100 percent to save our community and inspire, support and be the best human. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now he needs us for the first time. OG lost everything in a house fire on Halloween night. He did not just lose and can restore items. Nothing was saveable in his home, including pictures, videos, and valuables. Even though we cannot give him back the memories, we can help him by donating. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please donate if you are able any amount. If you cannot donate, please share and send prayers. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you in advance, 
</div>
<div>Maria and Keenan Lewis

Clifford Ryan aka OG needs our help

<div>Jay Lu was a sophomore at Fayetteville-Manlius High School who committed suicide on March 25, 2022 at the age of 15. Jay’s friends shared their memories about Jay at the vigil night the following Tuesday. These precious memories tell everyone that Jay had a beautiful and kind soul that has touched so many people’s lives and brought positive impacts to them. Jay liked playing violin and video games. He enjoyed ice cream and cookies. Spicy food and sauces were also a favorite of Jay, especially the lao gan ma chili crisp sauce. <br /><br />Jay is my son. In memory of him, I am raising Jay Lu’s Fund to help raise awareness of mental health issues among high school students. My hope is to make the raised fund available to the community to support a yearly suicide awareness week event to be held at a local high school. I envision that students apply to use the fund to plan and organize activities (e.g. themed art, essay competitions, social gatherings, discussions, invited lectures, etc.) for that week, with the support from their school teachers and staff members. I have been in talks with Jay’s high school - Fayetteville-Manlius High School - regarding this fund. <br /><br />**update - thank you so much to those who have donated to Jay Lu's Fund. My original thought was to have about $500 budget per year for ten years to support the activities of a suicide awareness week at a local high school. So I set the goal $5000. Within half a day, I have reached the goal. I have also received many support and comments from the community that this is needed and desired. So I am continuing to raise the fund with the plan to support the local community more and longer in this very important area with all the raised fund.

<div>My mother, Cathy Jo Nash, unexpectedly passed away from lung cancer on Monday, January 24, 2022. I cannot describe how unreal it feels for her to be gone so quickly from a disease my brother and I did not even know she had. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She was a woman full of passion and contradiction. It seemed at times that her flexible and unsinkable character would allow her to go on forever. She was almost like a force of nature, shifting and rolling with every setback, always finding a way to survive. She studied science, but she loved the arts. When she didn't work in a lab, she owned a stained glass studio, made stained glass windows for others, sold tickets and merchandise for various performing arts theaters, and worked other jobs that kept her close to the visual and performing arts. Amongst many other things, she left us with that love of music and art that has guided my brother and me through our lives. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She will be cremated and her ashes sent to her hometown of Houston for burial. Unfortunately, she did not have any funds or insurance to pay her funeral costs, and we cannot cover them ourselves. So, we are asking for your help, and we are incredibly grateful for any support anyone is willing and able to give.

This fundraiser is about more than just cereal workers on strike. This fundraiser is about standing together as workers and as people to help keep and raise standards of working conditions for workers. By supporting these brave workers who have lost their livelihood you can become part of a grassroots campaign to help fight corporate greed. These fine people put their lives and their families lives at risk during Covid-19 epidemic to feed America and they are rewarded for this by the company demanding wage, health, job security, retirement, vacation time, and holiday pay concessions from current and future employees. This is at a time when the company is making record profits! In fact the CEO of Kellogg's Steve Cahillane pulled down $11,600,000.00 himself this year and wants the people who actually make the food to make less. This is your chance to fight the man. This is a grassroots campaign and if you want to make a big difference you can do so right here! Help support these hardworking Americans and say no more to unchecked corporate greed! We all know this is a problem in America and this is your chance to do something about it! Please donate and donate generously. The more support we give these families the more the corporate world will realize that we count as the producers and no longer can they steal from the producers in America and we are willing to stand together and fight back! Please don't hesitate act now! Raising standards and working conditions at one place effects another. Don't think that it doesn't. Standards are being set at the corporate level here and now and the more help these folks get to raise them the more other industries will have to compete with those standards to employ workers. So I ask of you make your stand here! Donate and donate often! You also should honk for your support if you see picketers and stand with them if you have time. This is the only official donation on go-fund-me supporting Local 3G families.

<div>Thank-you,

Thank you for taking out the time to review our campaign! <br /><br />Hi! My name is Nicholle. I am the mother of <strong>Nataniel Isaiah Taylor</strong>, who was recently accepted into the 2021 Summer Dance Program at Boston Ballet. The Boston Ballet School is partnered with one of the nation's most prestigious companies and has one of the top programs for young developing dancers. <br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/55372024_1616052874391395_r.jpeg" alt="55372024_1616052874391395_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br /><a href="https://www.bostonballet.org/Home/Education/Program/Summer-Programs/Summer-Dance-Program-Boston"><a href="https://www.bostonballet.org/Home/Education/Program/Summer-Programs/Summer-Dance-Program-Boston" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.bostonballet.org/Home/Education/Program/Summer-Programs/Summer-Dance-Program-Boston</a> </a><br /><br />Nataniel is a 13-year-old Black ballet dancer, born and raised in Syracuse, NY. <br />His training and passion for dance was crafted at  'Dance Theater of Syracuse'  four years ago and he has, since, never once stopped moving. :). When he first began dancing, we knew he loved it, but we didn’t know how much he’d truly take to it. Nataniel was born to do this. He breathes it. And opportunities like the one he's being offered to take part in are far and few between. His first opportunity in a program like this would be irreplaceable to his development and dreams of becoming a professional dancer. <br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/55372024_1616052227904258_r.jpeg" alt="55372024_1616052227904258_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br />We're humbled, as a family, that Nataniel was able to secure a partial scholarship to the program. However, even with our family's finances, the 5-Week In-Person Summer Intensive is out of our respective budget. <br /><br />So. . . We're calling on and reaching out to community to help raise the additional costs for Nataniel to continue his journey as an aspiring ballet dancer. <br /><br />Help Nataniel attend his first-ever summer dance program! The kid is only 13! and already nailing auditions!  already realizing his potential! already envisioning his dreams and realizing his dopeness! <br /><br />Please consider donating to that Black and youthful future! <br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/55372024_1616053202660091_r.jpeg" alt="55372024_1616053202660091_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br />We know that, during these times, things are tight for everyone. <br />Whatever you are able to give, whether it be funding, a quick share on your social media, or guidance towards finding sponsorship for young dancers, will be received with loving arms. <br /><br />Thank you again for taking out the time to review our campaign.<br />We're excited! And manifesting that this is gonna happen! <br /><br />Be well. <br />Love and light. :)

Our Challenge <br /><br />The Syracuse City School District (SCSD) has shifted to online instruction for the foreseeable future. Approximately 30% of Ed Smith Pre-K-8 School students—an average of 20-25 students per grade—do not have access to the technology necessary to continue their education. While SCSD has begun to provide laptops to high school students and eighth graders who need them, it’s unlikely the District will be able to cover the elementary grades. In these challenging and unprecedented times, all students deserve the opportunity to engage in online learning with their teachers and classmates. <br /><br /><br />Our Solution <br /><br />The Ed Smith PTO will purchase laptops with donations from the community and, in partnership with Ed Smith Pre-K-8 School leadership, lend them to students who need them. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, the Ed Smith PTO has allocated $10,000 from the organization’s own funds to launch this effort. <br /><br /><br />Our Request<br /><br />We request a donation to support the purchase of laptops for Ed Smith students. In a time of uncertainty and isolation, this is a concrete step you can take to make a difference for our Ed Smith community, which includes students from every ZIP code in Syracuse. Your tax-deductible donation will strengthen ongoing efforts to provide a quality and equitable education for our children. <br /><br />Thank you for your consideration. Stay safe, and be well.

Computers for remote learning (Ed Smith School)

The home that Tim and Jen shared with children Celia, Dave, Samantha and dog Remi tragically burnt to the ground in July 31 in the middle of the night. Everyone managed to escape seconds before a propane tank and car exploded in the garage essentially destroying everything. They are lucky and grateful to be alive but face the daunting task of rebuilding a home and all that comes with years of hard work. They are beginning again with only the clothes they had on their backs at the time. Tim and Jen and my nieces and nephew are hard working, and kind people. If it is possible for you to let the Roder-Barley family know that they are not alone as they start over it would be appreciated. SMOKE DETECTORS SAVE LIVES!
