<div>As most of you know, on July 12th we as a community and family lost a daughter, family member, friend and most importantly a new mother. Tatiana Morrell commonly called Tia or TT, tragically passed away in an accident; leaving behind her daughter Zara, partner Walter, her mother Shelley, stepson Demetrius and of course many more family and friends. Because of this extremely tragic incident there are many pieces to place back together and unexpected financial responsibilities. We’re asking on behalf of a very kind, loving and generous family to help support them in this time. Any donations made would be used to give Tatiana the proper services and celebration of life, any child care or necessities for Zara and to insure the family can comfortably grieve without financial burden. We thank you in advance for your thoughts, prayers and generosity.

Support for Tatiana Morrell's Family

<div>I’m fundraising for Kate because…



</div>



<div><br />
</div>



<div>Kate is a warrior.



</div>



<div><br />
</div>



<div>Kate has been through an immeasurable amount of pain in her life. Her sweet angel boy, Kyle, is now in Heaven and she’s left picking up the pieces of her heart. She could have let life make her bitter, but she remains one of the most selfless and kind people I have ever encountered. 



</div>



<div><br />
</div>



<div>Kate and her family have spent an incredible amount of time giving back to the community and ensuring “Big’s” legacy lives on through acts of kindness. Team Kyle encourages people to “pay it forward” in honor of Kyle, the most selfless little boy that ever blessed the earth. 



</div>



<div><br />
</div>



<div>Kate has recently learned that her rent will be increasing by $1,000 a month. 



</div>



<div><br />
</div>



<div>This is quite obviously, an unreasonable increase, and her family is struggling with how to come up with it. 



</div>



<div><br />
</div>



<div>The LAST thing this family needs to worry about is where they will be living and if they can afford housing. Let’s pull together to ensure they don’t have to worry about rent. 



</div>


<div><br />
</div>


<div>Kate would never ask anyone for anything and I know this is going to be so hard for her to accept this gift of love from us, but let’s continue to lift her up and provide her support. Imagine if everyone from the Team Kyle page gave $1, we’d give $80,000+ to Kyle’s family for housing expenses. <br />
</div>



<div><br />
</div>



<div>They have done so much giving back to make this world a better place, now is the time for us to give back to them. 



</div>
<div><br />

Help Kate and her Family

<div>Our beloved family dog Obi had emergency spinal surgery Tuesday evening and now is at the Maine Veterinary Medical Center recovering.   Kyla, Jenna, and I are reaching out to family and friends to help defray a bit of the cost.  Any amount is greatly appreciated. <br /><br /><strong>Initial note from Tuesday, Dec 7</strong>: <br />Last night Obi seemed healthy and happy. After being let back inside later something was wrong and he couldn't walk on his back legs, the most likely scenario was that he slipped/tripped down the back porch steps but we aren't sure. He spent the night at the animal hospital.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>He’s going to need spinal surgery today and it will be a big bill. $10K+.  Kyla, Jenna, and I are reaching out to family and friends to help defray a bit of the cost.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>7pm Update…  MRI now surgery.  Seems to be the worst case scenario.  He may never fully recover but we are holding onto hope that he can push through.   Waiting for the results at 7PM. Thank you all for the help and support.

Surgery for Obi & Recovery

<div>Josh, the most wonderful father, husband, friend, brother, uncle and son, is now a guardian angel to his beautiful family after unforeseen complications while receiving his cancer treatment. We would love to wrap our arms around the Nesser family and support them through this heartbreaking time. <br /><br /><strong>*UPDATE* In an incredible feat of generosity, Josh's amazing partners at Lavelle Law have offered to match, dollar for dollar, total donations up to $250,000. <br /><br /></strong>No amount is too small to contribute to that target and help with college funds for their three amazing kids who will carry Josh's legacy in them, or whatever else they may need in the future. <br /><br />Thank you for supporting the Nessers. Josh, you are loved and missed.

<div>Hi my name is Tiffani, and I am making this page for my family. My aunt and uncle’s home was destroyed in a terrible fire this morning 10/16/21 that has damaged not only their home, but lifelong family memories, and almost all of their belongings. 
</div>
<div>They will have more than a home to rebuild and will also be displaced in such a short amount of time. 
</div>
<div>We are thankful they are all ok, but so sad  precious memories of their home, which was also my uncle’s childhood home, has been taken from them. 
</div>
<div>They are strong, and we have an amazing family. They live in a caring community, but I wanted to help in anyway I could at this time.
</div>
<div>Please help too if you can. Thank you. 
</div>
<div>With a grateful heart,
</div>
<div>Their niece, and god daughter Tiffani

Help The Rula Family Recover From House Fire

<p>My brother Mark passed away suddenly on July 5th. While he battled a rare and extreme case of debilitating Asthma for years, his sudden passing has left his wife and two children with a lot of medical expenses, funeral costs and ongoing financial needs.
</p>

<p>What started out as a trip to urgent care for a broken rib, took an unexpected turn when his asthma prevented proper oxygen to his blood, resulting in his organs failing one-by-one. While we were hopeful and prayerful that God would heal him completely - and we saw him quickly rebound for a few hours - ultimately Jesus called his son home on Monday.
</p>

<p>Please consider supporting Mark's family as they navigate this next season.
</p>

<p>His wife, Dalerie, is a teacher at Cornerstone Charter Academy and is mom to Sarah (almost 8) and Matthew (almost 2). Unfortunately Mark passed before both kids birthdays this month.
</p>

<p>If financially supporting them at this time is not an option, we covet your prayers for peace as this family recovers from the trauma of losing their beloved husband and father.
</p>

<p>Thanks for your support.
</p>

<p>~Meredith (Mark's Sister)

Recently my husband of 8 years purchased a large dose of fentanyl with the intent to murder me. There was a sting operation involved where they have him on recording confirming his plans. In addition to proposing to another woman while married to me, his other motive was to collect my $500k life insurance. We have 3 children together. He planned on murdering me on a family trip to California with our kids and the detectives made the arrest the morning of our trip. They caught him just in time. Prior to this arrest, earlier this year, he was arrested for attempting to extort a local bar owner for $40k. He has not been sentenced on either of the arrests at this time.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.abc15.com/news/crime/pd-fbi-impersonator-tries-to-extort-money-from-gilbert-bar-owner" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">First Arrest</a> <br /><a href="https://www.azfamily.com/news/mesa-man-accused-of-conspiring-to-kill-his-wife-with-fentanyl/article_6226fa62-c081-11ea-a083-27af346433e0.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Second Arrest</a> <br /><br />My mother in law who lives with me was in on the plot to murder me according to her text message exchanges with her son (my husband). <br /><br />The reputation of the martial arts studio where he taught is completely tarnished. My name is on the lease for the dojo and I am forced to pay $50k to break the lease, otherwise I face bankruptcy.<br /><br />I am in the process of obtaining a divorce by default. However, in the meantime, I am struggling to make ends meet with my income alone. I have held a steady job for the past 15 years. I am behind on mortgage payments and have to move. I want to get far away from here. With the police  in my home several times for the arrests and to serve the order of protection against my mother-in-law who refused to leave and the SWAT team in my home, my kids and I need a fresh start in a new state. I was in the military for 12 years and have 2 bachelor's and 2 master's degrees. I have a recent criminal background check completed and approved so that I can work in the public health field. I've got a clean record and was an excellent wife and I am a wonderful mother. I know I didn't deserve this. It's been one heck of a 2020 for me and I could use your help in getting back on my feet so that I can make a new life for me and my kids.

I never thought that I’d be in the position to need this again but unfortunately I am and I really need some help especially with it being Christmas time. After not getting better for the last year, I found out that the cancer has returned and they say that it is incurable this time. I’m a mamma to a ten year old boy, so to me “incurable” is not an option. I started on three different types of chemo last week and may be looking at a surgery or two where they will try to apply some direct radiation to the tumor. Right now the tumor is on my kidney, bladder and some nerves making it hard to use my right leg. I have a long, hard road ahead of me and the support is very much appreciated as it will help us get through this. I have appointments with specialists for the next month and will keep everyone updated. Thank you!

Cancer Sucks!

Sweet little Evalie was a ray of sunshine in this world. On June 4th she was called to her heavenly home after contracting a vicious infection, sending her quickly into septic shock, and causing her to fight for her life. Although we are heart broken, we will continue to keep her memory alive. <br />From her father Chad Henkel; <br />"Evie touched thousands and she will soon touch millions. If you had the privilege of interacting with her one time, you know that when she loved - she loved fiercely. Evalie continues to live and is in a great state of happiness as she has returned home to the God that gave her life."<br />Because of the events that took her life, we would like to offer everyone who wishes to assist the family with a chance to help in any small way they wish.

<br />My daughter and I were driving home Saturday morning on HWY 41, when we saw a car smoking on the side of the road. A teenage boy, his mother and younger brother who was in a wheelchair, were on the side of the road. They were just discharged from Children's Hospital after a liver transplant surgery for 5 year old,Jackson. They were finally headed home to Ashland, WI (a 6 hour drive) after living at the Ronald McDonald house for the past year.  The car started to overheat, smoke, and started on fire. Mom- Lindsay, has given me permission to help their family out. They have no car now- they watched it burn in flames on the side of the road,with all of Jackson's medications and their personal belongings. I'm setting up a fundraiser to get them a new car. Our friends at Bender Auto in Richfield have offered to help us out with finding this family a car. <br />   My goal is to raise $10,000 towards a car that they can use to safely drive to Children's clinics and back for the many medical appointments Jackson will have in his future.<br />    I wish you all would have seen how brave Tony (Jackson's big brother) was during this tragedy. There were oxygen tanks in the car and he ran back to the car to retrieve them. It was frightening to think what could've happened had he not acted so quickly.

As I'm sure many of you already know my Dad was diagnosed with CJD a few weeks ago and has steadily been on the decline since Christmas of 2017. The doctors told us he may only have 12 to 14 weeks to about 6 months left and will more than likely slip into a coma before we reach the end.<br /><br />My Dad's priorities in life have always been his family, his faith, and his students. Up until the Christmas break he was a math teacher. He would stay after school for hours helping students better understand the concepts, these were not just students of his but students in other classes he had no obligation to. He also taught night classes at the college and weekly meetings to fulfill his callings as a bishop. He has lived to serve and has done all he can to provide a better  life for his family. <br /><br />In his current state he has trouble saying much of anything. One thing he has expressed often is how anxious he is to get out of the hospital as he knows how much it costs every day to be there. Before things started getting really bad he told me on a few occasions to take care of my mom  and sister. Medical bills and what other costs are to come have been a major stress on him while he was still more like himself and a major stress on our family. <br /><br />My siblings and I have created this account to help cover medical expenses and any other expenses that may accompany this terrible disease so that my mom is not left with a mountain of debt when all is said and done.<br /><br />We are so grateful for all the love we have already been shown at this difficult time, thank you to all who have reached out and helped lighten this heavy burden.

On a typical day during the school year, you’ll find Ryan doing his part to positively impact childrens’ lives, as a teacher at Bucksport High School, in Bucksport, Maine.  You might find him working the high school football game, or serving as an officiant to one of the FIVE couples he has married, or perhaps, scaring kids and adults alike, at Ghostport, Bucksport’s annual Halloween festival.  He continues the proud Woodward tradition of being an educator at the local high school, where our father taught for many years.  He was recently diagnosed with Stage 4, non-Hodgkins Burkitts Lymphoma, after being ill with what was originally diagnosed as Lyme disease.  As he recently spent his 33rd birthday, in the hospital receiving chemotherapy, we are left to wonder, once again, why us?<br /><img class="not-resizeable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/26091810_1513018062.0465_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" />￼<img class="not-resizeable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/26091810_1513018079.2109_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" />￼<br />Our father, Scott Woodward, once a beloved and respected teacher at Bucksport High School, passed away tragically in 2001, due to a rare ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm after suffering from an aortic dissection the year before.  During the winter of 2008, we had a significant house fire, which required months of repair.   Shortly after, Patrick Woodward, our oldest brother, passed away at the age of 30, due to dilated cardiomyopathy, after proudly serving our country in the Air Force.  David Gray, Ryan’s uncle, once a renowned local artist, with several pieces of art displayed at local galleries, now fights dementia due to a rare progressive neurodegenerative brain disorder.  This disease has robbed him of his ability to paint, to care for himself, and now requires constant care from the help of our mother.  What was almost a storybook childhood, enjoying everything that Penobscot and Bucksport has to offer, has recently been marred in tragedy and sadness, and with Ryan’s diagnosis, we have almost reached the breaking point.  He is and has been our rock, our gentle giant, our big teddy bear, and he needs our help, and we are hopeful, that as you read this, you can help us too.  <br /><img class="not-resizeable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/26091810_1513018150.8396_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" />￼<img class="not-resizeable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/26091810_1513018952.6114_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" />￼<br />The funds from this campaign will be used to pay for medical bills and to repair his car.  It needs new brakes and whatever repairs are necessary to pass vehicle inspection.  This is the primary vehicle for the trips from Bucksport to Bangor where he will continue his chemotherapy.  Any remaining funds will be used to repair the front porch, which has nearly succumbed to years of harsh Maine winters, and the downstairs bathroom, which needs plumbing and structural repairs to be suitable for Ryan’s use.  Due to his illness, he can no longer use the stairs, and must relocate to a downstairs bedroom.  If money cannot be donated, we welcome any services that would be donated to help us achieve our goals.  <br /><br />We thank you for taking the time to read our campaign, and wish everyone blessings, good health, and happiness this Holiday Season.

***Update*** With great sorrow we have to report Patrick surcame to his injuries and passed on 6 July.  The physical and emotional loss was just too much for him to bear.  We would like to thank everyone for the kindness, genourosity, and prayers that has been shown over these pass few weeks.  The funds raised will continue to be used for medical bills that have accumulated to this point and funeral expenses for both Patrick and Kaitlyn.  <br /><br /><br />Recently, many lives were irreparably altered by the tragic loss of Kaitlyn Oliver, a sweet, vivacious, beautiful four-year old girl. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.kvue.com/news/4-year-old-dies-suspect-arrested-in-house-boat-crash-at-temple-lake-park/451826894" target="_blank">Here's the news story of the accident</a> <br /><br />This innocent child loved her dog, Kion, singing along to Frozen, and cuddling with her family. Kaitlyn was deeply loved by her parents, Patrick and Mary Ann, as well as her grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.<br /><br />In a brave attempt to save his daughter's life, Patrick was critically injured, and is currently in ICU. <br /><br />On behalf of our grieving family, we humbly ask for donations that will be used for Kaitlyn's funeral expenses, as well as for Patrick's recovery. <br /><br />At the time of the accident Patrick was in the process of changing jobs and medical insurance had not yet started.<br /><br />Proceeds will be used to help with the medical bills, funeral costs, and related expenses.<br /><br />Any amount is sincerely appreciated. If you are unable to donate, please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers. Please, please share!<br /><br />With gratitude,<br />The family of Kaitlyn, Patrick, and Mary Ann

I am starting this GoFundMe page for my wife Lisa Brown.  We started one last year for her medical bills and going to Cleveland Clinic.  We made the trip 5 times last year and 1 time to Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami this year to see about a possible transplant.  None of the Dr's were able to help get Lisa back on the road to recovery.  <br />As some of you may know, from previous articles, Lisa was in People Magazine last year spreading awareness for this HORRIBLE syndrome, SMAS. <strong>(Feel free to GOOGLE Lisa Brown SMAS, you will see all the articles about her)</strong> She was also later diagnosed with Gastroparesis.  She spent a lot of time trying to help others, which i know she has.  She dedicated so much time trying to cheer up anyone who was down.  She would handmake personal cards for people who were/are sick, down about something, or just needed a little brightness in their day.  She still continues to do this, however it is extremely hard for her to make time because she is so sick and weak.<br />This October she entered into hospice care because she was declining so quickly.  They have been trying to help keep her symptoms under control and trying their best to keep her pain free.  Her overall health has and is declining rapidly now.  I, her husband, am taking off of work on FMLA, and not getting paid, to spend the rest of the time she has with her.  <br />I am starting this fund to help pay for anything that she may want to keep her happy and comfortable in the last days she will be with us.  It will also help cover the cost of her Memorial and for taking off work with no pay.  We appreciate any help you may be able to give.  I hope that her story has touch your life as i know it has for many people.<br />Thank you much,<br />The Browns

It is with a heavy heart that we create this page, as it is not something anyone would want to do.  Jeff Gargiulo was an amazing husband to Cindy, father of two incredible teenagers named Christian and Anthony, and loved by so many friends and family.  Sadly Jeff succumbed to his battle with kidney failure as a result of early onset diabetes yesterday, January 18, 2017. This battle was long and he fought hard.  Receiving dialysis and anxiously awaiting a call for a kidney transplant for years, Jeff passed of complications from dialysis. He never gave up hope and still worked as much as he could to provide for his family-because that was the type of man he was.  As if losing your spouse at such an early age/father when you are a teenager is painful enough, they are now left with financial responsibilities that can become overwhelming. In addition to funeral expenses, the family will lose an income.  His sons will be attending college soon and will need financial help.  <img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/17585050_1484859965.0996_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" />His loving wife Cinday has worked tirelessly for years while helping her husband throughout his illness and raising their children all while working full time.  She has been a part of our company for 22 years, and we consider The Gargiulo Family an extension of our own.  Her dedication at work has always been impeccable, even when Jeff would have times where his illness would consume all their time and energy.  Jeff would feel so honored to know that his family would have some help-that they won't need to worry so much financially-now that he has gone to be with God. Please consider even a small donation-I have donated to so many different gofundme families and friends over the years and it would be so lovely to see the generosity come back full circle.  All money donated will be used for any outstanding medicl bills, extra funeral expenses, bills for their home and their sons education.  Thank you and please keep this family in your prayers!

As many of you know, my sweet sister is beginning her battle with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. After discovering a lump in her neck back in April and undergoing several tests and biopsies, she received shocking news of cancer in early November. Although she was having strange symptoms and unexplained health issues, we never imagined cancer. In the two weeks since her diagnosis, we have gone from talking about what we are making for dinner and planning for our toddlers to discussing her treatment plan, possible side effects, and many unknowns of this whole process. It is scary and incredibly sad.<br /><br /> Rachel is an amazing mom to Nora, who will be 2 in December, and a loving wife to Cody. They have been married for 3 years and bought their first home in Gorham last year. They have a beautiful life together and will hopefully look back on this battle as a small part of their story.<br /><br /> Although Rachel and I are 8 years apart, we are so close. As her older sister, I wish I could take this for her. Rachel has always been determined and I know she will fight this with everything she has.<br /><br /> The initial shock of the diagnosis has set in and now comes the hard work of fighting this battle. Rachel met with her oncologist this week and will begin chemotherapy just after Thanksgiving. We are thankful to God that her cancer was detected in the early stages and she has been given a very positive prognosis by her oncologist. Throughout the course of her treatment, she will likely experience fatigue, nausea, and hair loss among other side effects. Along with the emotional struggle, they are also facing many appointments, doctor’s bills and medical expenses.  <br /><br /> Please consider helping Rachel and Cody through this journey by making a donation on their behalf.

Help Rachel Battle Lymphoma

Devon was a light. Loved by many. His sister is Jaime Higgins who I have worked along side for a year now at Operation HOPE at the Scarborough Police Department. We have helped over 200 people with opiate addiction get into treatment. Devon was in recovery and doing well. He had a slip and died today from an overdose. With all that Jaime has done for others, I think we can help with the burial expenses to take care of Devon. Let's show Jaime and her family that the community cares.

On Thursday, August 11 we lost our son, brother and friend, Daniel Joesph Fitzpatrick. At just 13 years old, he took his own life because of the years of bullying took on his otherwise happy, caring and loving spirit. <br /><br />We want to give Daniel a proper memorial, as well as shine a bright light on the bullying that killed him. <br /><br />Please, if you can, find it in your heart to help our family lay our beautiful baby boy to rest, and allow for his legacy to live on.<br /><br /><br />My name is Eileen Fitzpatrick, I am Daniel's oldest sister, from Brooklyn. Daniel Joesph's parents, Daniel and Maureen Fitzpatrick are the beneficiary for this campaign. I created this campaign to assit my parents in the burial and services for my brother. My brother was thirteen years old, he did not have life insurance, because he wasnt supposed to die. This was a very unexpected tragedy for my family and we were not prepared for it. <br /><br />We had NO idea we would go past our goal and recieve so much feedback.  With all these responses and support we would love nothing more than to donate to a organization that fights bullying and encourages suicide awareness. We have not chosen any yet, seeing as we are still dealing with preperations for my brother. We have every intention to help other families never go through what we are going through. We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us and hearing his story.

From the time frankie and Lia were 2 months old their brain stopped developing and started having seizures many times a day. Can you imagine not being able to stop this from happening ? Not seeing your children smile back at you ? Frankie n Lia have spent more time in the hospital in their short lives then we would spend in 4 life times. Gianna and Frank have to stay on top of their children all day and night , the most natural way to clear our chest is by coughing. They are unable to do this so the frequently get Pneumonia and spend sometimes up to a month in the hospital, where they have to pay for medical expenses Please help donate, Id love to see their parents be able to have a wheelchair accessible Van to get kids in and out of a van without transferring them out of their wheelchair carriages. My goal is to get a deposit it cost 90k for this van to fit 2 nurses the wheel chairs sibling and the parents  to ease their troubles of getting in and out of a car. Frankie recently had hip surgery and the transferring him can be painful to him. No amount to small. Please find it in your hearts Frank &amp; Gianna have never asked for help , let's just offer it :) <br /><img class="not-resizeable" src="https://2dbdd5116ffa30a49aa8-c03f075f8191fb4e60e74b907071aee8.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/6875295_1447331207.669_funddescription.jpg" alt="6875295_1447331207.669_funddescription.j" width="100%" />

Well doing a blog has been harder to figure out since we have very little internet unless we are at the hospital, which if we are at the hospital I want to be up in the NICU with Haiden. <br /><br />Update for the week...<br /><br />He had a pretty good week, the Dr.s' just keep saying having a preemie is like being on a roller coaster, you will have great days and you will have not so great days. Haiden has a small heart murmur and while he was in Puerto Rico the Dr.s' decided to use the medicine that is normally for the heart closure on improving his brain stability instead, so we'll just have to wait for the flap on the side of his heart to close up on its own. But because he has this issue they have to be careful that he doesn't get to much fluid in his lungs, so he gets about 2 Tbsp. of milk every 3 hours over a 90 min period. This has been a good rate for Haiden and he has had very little issues with the tolerance. He gets the milk through a tube that is in his stomach, the nurses also give him a cotton swab of milk on his mouth/lips which he will clamp down on. He is slowly gaining weight but he is still only at 1lb. 9oz. He loves to sleep on his stomach, he hasn't gotten to sleep on his stomach lately since he had to have the respirator tube put back in to assist him with breathing. <br />The hardest part about all of this, is every preemie is different, what worked on one won't work the same for another. Some grow faster than others, the list just goes on and on. If any of you know me I don't like to just sit, I like to be kept busy and with him we don't get to touch him much so we just look through a glass wall at him. Haiden is such a mover, he gets touch time every 3 hours and the nurses always will say hold still he will kick and stretch while they are changing him and it makes it very hard for them to get his diaper back on. <br />The best part of all this is Haiden should of still been in my stomach for another 15 weeks and I get to see the steps of him growing in person. To see all the little characterics that he has gained in the short time already has been amazing. Haiden is a fighter and he will make it through all of this. He might not like needles or want to go to any checkups for a very long time after this, but he will continue to be an inspiration to all that hear his story. Thank you all for the kind thoughts we receive, its nice to know so many people are praying for our family. Chloe is in Utah with family and she is doing very well. She will ask to see Baby Haiden and we will either show her a picture or if we can she will Facetime with him. He will pick up his arm like he is waving to her and Chloe will say momma he waived at me, or she will ask if she can give him a kiss. She will tell my mom that she wants Haiden to come home when he is better so she can hold him.This little girl is amazing and if she can remain strong and be okay without both of her parents we can remain strong as well. Chase and I have been blessed with amazing kids who are true fighters. For now we will remain in Florida till Haiden gains more weight and then can be life flighted to Primary Children in SLC. <br /><br />Any Help for Haiden and our family would be greatly appreciated, as we are all going to have a long road ahead of us.<br /><br />Thank You

In Loving Memory of Lily Jo Jurgens

My sister, Ashley, is the best of our three siblings. I promise my brother doesn’t mind that I say that! She has always put everyone ahead of herself and is the first person to volunteer to help anyone in need. It surprised no one that she decided to become a nurse. It really is her calling and each day she works to help the kids in the Pediatric ICU at Mass General Hospital.<br /><br />She married her husband, Eric, in 2008 and they set out to build a life together. They bought a house in Kingston, Massachusetts and had their beautiful girl, Payton, in 2013. In 2014 they even started trying for baby #2.<br /><br />As many of you know, being a new mom and working full-time is a tough gig. Ashley felt the usual things that new moms feel. She was always tired and started to have headaches, but she figured that was all part of being a new mom. Over a year later, she continued to feel more fatigued and the headaches became more frequent. She explained these symptoms to her doctor at her annual physical. Thankfully, he took her concerns seriously and referred her to a neurologist for an MRI.<br /><br />On September 13, 2014 I got a call from Ashley. “I have some news,” she said. I immediately started screaming with joy. I knew nothing of the MRI so surely she was calling to tell me that she was pregnant with another baby. I could immediately tell that was not the case. She explained that she had an MRI and it showed a mass. My heart broke.<br /><br />However, being a nurse at Mass General has its perks. She immediately got an appointment with Dr. Brian Nahed at Mass General who is a renowned, Harvard-educated neurosurgeon. He explained that the mass was likely a glioma. It would have to be resected with surgery and tested to determine the best course of action. The surgery was scheduled for a  few weeks later and inpatient rehab and radiation would most likely follow. The battle had begun.<br /><br />On September 20, 2014 I got another call from Ashley. Her voice was again serious. “I am pregnant,” she said. I didn’t know what to say. News that we would have been overjoyed at just a week earlier filled me with dread. I immediately flew to Boston to meet with the neurosurgeon and my sister. Ashley made it clear that the baby was her first priority and that she would forgo treatment until after he/she was born. Dr. Nahed agreed to monitor the growth of the mass during her pregnancy and hold off on any surgery or other treatments for as long as possible.<br /><br />Her baby boy will be born on May 20th and Ashley has been able to carry him full term. All of this while caring for her two-year-old Payton and working full-time. The MRIs throughout her pregnancy showed that the mass didn’t grow and she was able to avoid surgery.<br /><br />Ashley and her husband, Eric, have won their first battle of carrying a healthy baby boy to term. Now their new battle begins. She will recover from her C-section and then have brain surgery on July 7, 2015. She will use all of her PTO time in the six weeks following her C-section and then go on unpaid medical leave. Best case scenario is that she would be out for another 3-4 months but if extended rehab and radiation are involved, it could be much longer. Ashley and Eric are facing two surgeries and countless trips into Boston for treatment. Eric’s income alone will need to support two young children, regular bills, and significant medical and travel expenses.  <br />Please consider supporting them during this time. All donations will go towards their medical bills, travel, and household bills. Ashley and Eric can use all of the support that you can offer so please keep sending positive thoughts and encouragement their way!<br /><br /><img src="https://2dbdd5116ffa30a49aa8-c03f075f8191fb4e60e74b907071aee8.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/4325659_1429971650.3852_funddescription.jpg" alt="4325659_1429971650.3852_funddescription." />
