COVID19 has been very hard on everyone in the arts industry specifically, including us at The Riot Room. For 13 years and counting we have nestled ourselves into the hearts of the Kansas City music community and abroad with vast intentions on spreading the best in music, art and culture. Thanks to all of you we have succeeded. We are very proud of what we and our team have accomplished throughout the years, and could not have done it without the AMAZING community around us. It truly has been a pleasure to drink a beer with you, book your favorite band or artist, dance with you to the music, or just flat out discuss music for hours on end. With the future still being uncertain, and as we near the winter season, it’s become increasingly difficult to keep this ship that many of us call home, afloat. Like The Riot Room, music venues across the nation have worked tirelessly for months on end to secure support and funding to sustain these trying times. While the efforts have brought so many amazing people in the arts together, there’s been no real financial avail… unfortunately, many of us will close…. Way too many already have… We are eternally grateful to all of you for the support throughout all of these years, and especially during these very unpredictable, and challenging times. So many people from all corners of the world have reached out to check in on us or to tell us a story about their “Riot Room experience”. It’s beyond humbling to know that we’ve had such a unique opportunity to touch the lives of so many people. You are important… your stories are important… music, art, culture… it’s all so important!!! Many of you have asked how you can help, how you can support, and what can be done to protect places like The Riot Room. Continue buying merchandise, continue checking out live streams, contribute what you can, when/if you can. Unfortunately, the bills keep piling up, and there’s no clear vision as to when everything will be normal again so everything helps at this point. Keep the music in your heart and soul and support whenever &amp; whomever you can if you’re able. Stay safe… and BE EXCELLENT TO EACH OTHER! Peace, love, and music, The Riot Room

Help Keep The Riot Room ALIVE!

Thursday, January 25th, there was a horrific fire at the home of Charee Eggleston. She and her 4 children were trapped in the basement. If you can donate even $1, that would be a blessing. Thank you and we will keep you posted as we learn more. Edit: For all those asking why I decided to make this gofundme for the families, let me give you some background info. My name is Sally and I worked with Charee a few years back. My mother in law is friends with Charee's parents. I was talking with a mutual friend, Amanda, about doing something to help the family and a gofundme was brought up. So, here we are. My intention is to give the money to the Wheatley, Eggleston and Bates families, to help with whatever they need to rebuild their lives, to help with funerals costs, what have you.  I also just wanted to say how moved I am by everyones generosity. I see many names of friends, and many names of strangers, who have donated. What a blessing each and everyone of you are for Charee and Dillon. Thank you and God Bless You!

Our three month old, Owen was diagnosed with RSV on 11/14/17 and was admitted to the hospital a couple of days later. We’ve been here since and will more than likely be here through Thanksgiving weekend. Luckily we have insurance, but as we all know, we’ll still have to meet our deductible. Lauren hasn’t been able to work either so we’ve unfortunately fallen behind on things. We hate asking for money from anyone, but if you can spare a few dollars, it would be great appreciated. 

Thanks

Shannon Horvat is the kind of person that most of us hope to someday become. She has 3 loving sons - Brian, Daniel, and Kyle - but they would agree that she holds the title of "Town Mom," having dedicated her life to helping others and lifting up everyone around her. She was a long time staple at Shenanigans pub in Dahlonega, GA, always ready with a smile and a warm gesture for all who met her.&#160;She's also an avid animal lover. She volunteers at the local animal shelter, and once nursed an injured owl back to health.


Shannon recently suffered multiple aneurysms, leaving her in critical condition. We're hoping for a full recovery over the next year, but she has a long road ahead of her and she needs our help. Brian is an integral part of our family, so let's band together and take care of our own. Every bit helps, no matter how small.

Looking for a life change Terry moved to Lawrence, Ks in 2003, shortly thereafter he met Liz and it was love at first sight!  6 years later we were married and 11 years later we were finally ready to start our family. Our choices in life have always been very thought out. That is why we waited so long to get married and even longer to start a family. We knew to have an emotionally and financially stable family we needed to make sure that Liz finished nursing school and that Terry was well on his way to finishing respiratory therapy school. Unfortunately waiting this long did not work in our favor biologically. We started trying to get pregnant in Sept 2014 and in Nov Liz went in for a checkup. What was supposed to be a routine gyno visit which included some blood work showed that Liz had some imbalanced hormone levels and should see a specialist. Little did we know this routine appointment would be the start of something that would end up turning our world upside down.  We went to KU Med center with the assumption that all that was needed was some medication to balance out her hormone levels. It was obvious during the conversations with the specialist that we were all on different pages as to what was going on. The specialist was brutally honest in letting us know the reality of our situation. This is when we found out that we were not able to conceive children naturally due to Liz finding out that she has pre-mature ovarian failure. For us this was devastating. We had been concentrating so hard on getting Liz through nursing school and then Terry through respiratory therapy school that the thought of us not being able to conceive had never crossed our minds.  When you constantly hear ‘You’re young, you have plenty of time’, you begin to believe it. The next few weeks we both felt like we were walking through a fog. Once the reality of the situation set in, we knew we had to start looking at all our possibilities. We met with a reproductive endocrinologist to explore our options. She said our best, and really only option, to have a child naturally would be IVF (in vitro fertilization). IVF consists of taking a frozen egg (from an egg bank) and fertilizing it with Terry’s sperm. After 5 days of growing the fertilized egg outside the body, it is then implanted in Liz. We have done further testing such as sonograms to show that Liz is in good reproductive health and the only thing holding us back is her lack of eggs due to the pre-mature ovarian failure. Our specialist said that our chances of successful implantation are in our favor. We have thought about adoption and that is still a very good option for us but sometimes adoption can take a long time (sometimes years) and can cost as much as IVF. For our first child, if we can, we want to be able to experience the joy of giving birth and also with IVF we would still be able to have Terry’s genes in our child. Liz has always dreamed of what motherhood would be like.  Having issues with infertility is never how any little girl imagines their happily-ever after would be.  By taking our chances on IVF, we feel that we can come as close to having the family we always wanted.     We have already begun to rack up medical bills with all the tests and doctor visits to get us to this point.  IVF is not a medical expense that is covered by insurance, and all costs come completely out of pocket.  Both of our parents have helped us tremendously in getting us both through school to be in our perspective careers. So now we have to start looking to others for help.  The total cost for our procedure and eggs will come to about $30,000. When we talked to a financial specialist about the total cost, Terry made her repeat that number about three times, just to make sure he heard her correctly.  The cost for the frozen eggs comes to about $17,500. We pay this directly to an egg bank and in return we get 6 viable eggs that are fertilized in hopes that we end up with at least 2-3 potentially implantable embryos. With the bank we are using (www.fairfaxeggbank.com), we are insured that if we end up with less than 2 embryos, we have the ability to get a new batch of eggs sent without any additional cost. Then once we have our embryos, the additional cost of $11,850 is for the procedure to do the implantation. IVF commonly takes more than one try. If we have to do a second round (which we are being cautious and expecting to need it) it will cost an additional $2500. We can’t possibly expect our family and friends to fund this procedure in its entirety, but we are hopeful that through the kindness of others we can reach our goal to afford the cost of the eggs.  (update) Now that we have tried three rounds of IVF with no luck, we are moving on to adoption. Unfortunately with adoption also comes another huge round of expenses that amount to just as much as our IVF trials. The money we raised from our initial gofundme was used towards the $40,000 we spent on our IVF trials. We have continued our campaign to help with the adoption expenses. We want to thank everyone for taking the time to read our story. We set up a blog to keep everyone informed on our journey: <a href="http://terryandlizivfjourney.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://terryandlizivfjourney.blogspot.com/</a>
