<div>We are heartbroken to share the unexpected passing of Susan Edwards, a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Susan faced many personal challenges throughout her life, and while this loss is deeply painful, we are choosing to come together to support the people she loved most—her sons, Eric and Austin, and her grandson, Jordan, who is just 8 years old.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Eric, 35, is doing his best to navigate this loss while continuing to care for his son, Jordan. Austin, 19, was still living at home and is now facing the sudden reality of stepping into adulthood without his mom. As you can imagine, this is an incredibly difficult and overwhelming time for all of them.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This fundraiser is simply to help ease some of the immediate financial pressures and provide stability as they adjust to life after this loss. Funds will go toward basic living expenses, housing, and helping Austin maintain a stable home environment during this transition.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Susan expressed that she wanted things kept simple, and we are honoring that—focusing on what matters most: supporting her family and helping them move forward.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Susan loved her family deeply, and there is no doubt that Eric and Austin were the center of her world. Supporting them now is the best way we can honor her.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you are able to contribute, it would be deeply appreciated. If not, your thoughts, prayers, and sharing of this page mean just as much.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for your kindness, support, and compassion during this difficult time.

Support Eric & Austin After the Loss of Their Mom

<div>Our family is going through one of the most difficult times we have ever faced.
</div>
<div><strong>Recently, our home was severely damaged after a sprinkler system pipe bursted during extreme cold weather, causing extensive flooding throughout all three floors.</strong> The damage was so severe that the house had to be fully gutted. We have been told it will be at least 4-5 months before we can even think about moving back in.
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are a family of five temporarily living out of a hotel, without insurance reimbursement for the costs. Despite having coverage, we recently discovered that because of a policy adjustment, our current homeowners insurance policy does not include coverage for Additional Living Expenses (ALE). As a result, this has left us covering these unexpected living expenses entirely on our own, while still covering the normal costs of our mortgage and living/health expenses.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Our household includes:</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>	•	My mother and brother, the only two members currently earning an income</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>	•	My uncle, who lives with us and is on disability</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>	•	My grandmother, who has health risks and needs stability and proper accommodations</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/100497861_1772076261317196_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In the midst of this displacement, we also experienced the heartbreaking loss of our beloved beloved 15-year-old dog, Rocco. Losing him in the middle of this chaos has added another layer of heartbreak and grief to an already overwhelming situation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/100497861_1772076315364431_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Right now, we are facing:</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>	•	Temporary housing expenses (ongoing hotel costs)</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>	•	Food expenses without access to a full kitchen</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>	•	Storage fees</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>	• Emergency boarding costs for our dogs during the flood</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>	•	Ongoing mortgage payments</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>	•	Replacement of personal and medical items damaged in the flood (accessibility needs and medications for my grandmother and uncle with Down syndrome, etc)</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>	•	Emotional and financial strain on the only two working members of our household</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We never imagined we would be in a position where we needed to ask for help, but the financial pressure of months of displacement without insurance assistance is simply more than we can manage alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Any donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward:</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>	•	Temporary housing expenses</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>	•	Basic living expenses</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>	•	Supporting our family until we can safely return home</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are unable to donate, sharing this page would mean the world to us.
</div>
<div>Thank you for helping our family find stability during this incredibly painful and uncertain time. We are holding onto hope that, with support, we can get through these next five months and rebuild not just our house, but our sense of home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div>Daniella and on behalf of:
</div>
<div>Roni (mother), Darcey (grandmother), Vinny (brother), and Ian (uncle)

Support for Daniella's Family During Displacement

<div>Hi, my name is Shannan, and I’m hoping to raise funds for the Benson Family in their time of need. Lorena Benson has been a coworker of mine for over 10 years. I’ve always admired her strength and independence. Four years ago her son Hunter was diagnosed with Duchene Muscular Dystrophy, which is characterized by a progressive loss of muscle. It affects many parts of the body resulting in deterioration of the skeletal, heart, and long muscles. 

</div>

<div>Lorena, Mike, and Hunter have battled this disease courageously and independently to this point, but with the progression of his disease Hunter is facing the loss of mobility causing him to need a powered device to get around. As his condition continues to progress he will soon need a powered wheelchair, and his parents will need a special van to transport him. They will also need to make modifications to their home to make it handicap accessible. 

</div>

<div>To know Hunter is to love him. Despite everything this young man has and will continue to face, he is a ray of sunshine. He loves to draw, play video games, the trumpet, and the keyboard. He is a 5th grade student at Mid Valley where he excels academically.

</div>

<div>I’m looking to help raise funds to ease the financial burden for the Benson family. Insurances will not cover the accessible van or their home modifications. 

</div>

<div>If you can, please donate, every little bit helps! Let’s give this family the life and love they deserve.

</div>

Helping Hunter

<div>Hello, this is Matt Nawrocki with the Wallenpaupack Football Team.
</div>
<div>Recently, we learned the terrible news that one of our 8th-grade football players, Sebastian Trotta, was diagnosed with leukemia. Learning that one of ours is going through this adversity is not easy. But we know that Sebastian will fight and that our team and community will surround Seb and his family to help them through this tough time.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>One way we would like to show support for Seb and his family is to help them offset the costs of fighting this disease. So, I humbly ask that you donate whatever amount you can to this GoFundMe so that we can help Seb get back onto the field and continue to play the game he loves with his brothers!
</div>

Help Sebastian Trotta Defeat Leukemia

<div>This is my cousin Scott, his wife Megan, and their two incredible sons Mason and Tanner and they need your prayers and support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you're fortunate to know Scott, you know he's a gentle and kind soul with a generous heart. A family man who loves his wife and adores his two boys - a man who never hesitates to help a friend or neighbor in their time of need.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While Scott has everything to live for, his health has been in decline for several years, requiring significant medical care and hospitalization. While Megan teaches full time and is an amazing mom to her boys, it has become increasingly difficult to maintain Scott's medical care.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Many of you have asked what you can do to help. Most importantly, we ask you for your love and prayers - and for any support you can offer to help Scott make a full recovery.
</div>

Scott Rush & his family

<div>Hi, this is Craig and Susan. We are raising money for our son Kadans funeral expenses. Kadan was an oustanding, outgoing, and such a kind young man. Kadans life was taken short and he is now peacefully resting. We plan to donate any remaining donations to charity's of our family's choice.  Thank you for all your donations.
</div>

Kadan funeral expenses

<div>Hi Everyone, This is my nephew Thomas "Tommy" Gallinot. Tommy is a quiet, caring young man who is always willing to help. He was working in his community at a local nursing home assisting with the dietary needs of the elderly residents while pursuing his true passion is to be a computer engineer and was excited to be attending classes at Penn State University.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In Feb 2023, Tommy noticed a lump on the side of his ribcage. His Mom (Melanie Gallinot) wasted no time in getting it checked. He was diagnosed with Ewings Sarcoma. Ewings Sarcoma is a very rare malignant cancerous bone tumor affecting kids and young adults. It was a shock to our whole family (like most families) but nothing prepared his parents (Melanie Gallinot and Tom Gallinot) nor Tommy for the intensive treatment plan that they have to execute in order to battle and beat this aggressive cancer. Tommy and his Mom travel 1.5 hours to the hospital every other week to be admitted for a 5-day treatment of chemotherapy. Because of the many challenges that chemo presents, it is not uncommon for Tommy and his Mom to travel multiple times to the hospital in between scheduled treatments. His battle reached the next phase in June, where he had a 6-hour surgery to remove the tumor from his chest wall. He had to have 3 ribs removed, his chest wall reconstructed with mesh, and his diaphragm reconstructed. The surgery was a success but Tommy still has a long way to go. 10 days after surgery, during a check-up, Tommy once again had to be admitted to the hospital for a blood clot for 3 days. Not long after that fluid started to build up and Tommy was admitted again for an aspiration procedure to remove excess fluid from his chest. A week later, now July, Tommy was admitted again with a fever, a staph infection, and CDIFF. He will undergo surgery tomorrow, July 26, to replace the mesh that reconstructed his chest wall. The next phase of his treatment plan requires a combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy for an additional 5 months.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This young man is extremely positive and says " I will do what I have to do to get better". He does not complain. He is modest and finds happiness in the little things. He tries to see his friends to play Dungeon and Dragons together; and enjoys a good book. He loves spending time with his dogs and smiles when he can convince his sister to take him to Dunkin Donuts. ( for a coffee and a bagel). He continues to amaze me with a positive outlook. His parents and the entire family are very positive and hopeful for his recovery from this awful disease.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>His Oncologist and the hospital are located 1.5 hours away and many times they travel 2-3 times a week back and forth.
</div>
<div>We are asking for your help with the challenges of uncovered medical expenses, loss of income, and travel expenses. If you are unable to donate a share is welcome, and we believe in the power of prayers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your kindness and blessings.
</div>
