<div>I am Jeff Metcalf. My son, <strong>Austin Metcalf, was tragically stabbed today at a school track meet</strong>. They were not able to save him. He was a bright young man with a great future ahead of him. He was a leader of men. His smile would light up the room. His passion for football was unbelievable. Voted team MVP this past season and carried a 4.0 GPA. He was looking forward to taking his game to the next level. His commitment, dedication, leadership, and sheer grit made him rise to the level of success that he desired. His twin brother, Hunter, played beside him. We will all remember him for the way he impacted others' lives. I love you forever, son. It's not goodbye, it's see you later. God will take care of us till we meet again. RIP. Love, Dad

Honoring Austin Metcalf: Help His Family Heal

<div><em>We are currently supporting winter storm victims with unrestricted cash grants of $500 to help them afford basic necessities during dangerous winter weather. Your donation to GoFundMe.org’s Essentials Fund will enable emergency cash grants directly to Americans in need of heat, food and shelter now, and throughout this winter season.</em>
</div>
<div><strong><em>Give today and your donation will double in impact: GoFundMe is matching all donations to the Essentials Fund this winter, up to $250,000.</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For millions of Americans, one unexpected crisis—such as a lost job, an unexpected medical bill, or a broken-down car—spells disaster. Roughly <a href="https://institute.bankofamerica.com/content/dam/economic-insights/paycheck-to-paycheck-lower-income-households.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">45</a>%<a href="https://institute.bankofamerica.com/content/dam/economic-insights/paycheck-to-paycheck-lower-income-households.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">of Americans live paycheck to paycheck</a>, and more than a quarter <a href="https://www.bankrate.com/banking/savings/emergency-savings-report/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">have no emergency savings</a>. In these circumstances, even a small amount of flexible financial support can determine whether a family weathers the storm or falls into deeper hardship.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Launched in 2020, the Essentials Fund was created to support Americans asking for help on the GoFundMe platform with a one-time emergency cash grant made as a surprise donation to their fundraiser.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Grantees of the Essentials Fund are most often individuals who, through no fault of their own, have experienced an unexpected crisis and are suddenly unable to cover critical expenses like food, housing, or utilities.

<div>Hi, my name is Joshua, but they call me Josh. I'm here to raise money for this lady. She was doing great, playing with her kids and everything, and then all of a sudden, <strong>she had kidney failure</strong>. Now, she's on dialysis, losing her home, and a whole bunch of other things. Then, she lost their car, and <strong>I'm trying to make her life a little easier</strong>. We're going to try to get her at least a room a vehicle where she can move around and get all her stuff moved there and we're not just trying to do it for her if we can we'll do it for more
