I started this fundraiser because I care deeply about the people impacted by the California wildfires. Watching how quickly fires can change direction and consume homes, I felt powerless—and I wanted to do something that actually helps people act sooner and stay safer. That is why I support Watch Duty. They deliver real-time wildfire alerts and on-the-ground intelligence from first responders so families and emergency teams have the information they need when seconds matter. Their alerts tell you how fast a fire is moving, which way it is headed, and when containment lines are breached, giving people time to make lifesaving decisions. Your gift to this campaign will help keep Watch Duty running around the clock, expand coverage to more at-risk communities, and keep alerts free and accessible for everyone. Supporting this work means more eyes monitoring incidents, clearer updates as conditions change, and better tools for firefighters and neighbors who depend on timely information. Please join me in supporting Watch Duty. Your donation will help deliver faster, clearer alerts to people who need them most and give families a real chance to stay safe.

Hi, I’m Kate Marrington, and this June I’m joining Feeding America’s movement challenge to help put food on the tables of kids and families across the country. I’m setting a distance goal that feels meaningful to me and inviting friends, family, and neighbors to come alongside me. Every mile I cover is a step toward a future where no one has to wonder where their next meal will come from. Feeding America works with local food banks, policymakers, and communities to make sure nutritious food is accessible and equitable for everyone. When I move my body and raise support, I’m helping deliver food, resources, and hope to people who are struggling right now. It matters to me because access to basic needs shapes every part of life—health, school, work, and dignity. I’m moved to act because small efforts add up. Your donation will support food banks that provide groceries, hot meals, and programs that reach families and children in need. Together we can turn miles into meals, and worry into relief for households facing hunger. Please join me by donating or sharing this page. Your support, big or small, will make a real difference for neighbors in need and help keep food on their tables.

I'm joining in to help raise funds for American Cancer Society. If you're able to give, I'd be so grateful for your support. Let's make a difference together!

I am raising funds for the American Cancer Society through Rising Hearts Alliance because I believe every family facing cancer deserves support. The Rising Hearts Alliance is dedicated to assisting families in crisis, especially as they navigate the emotional and financial turmoil that comes with a cancer diagnosis. Families dealing with economic hardship, housing instability, and food insecurity need more than just medical care; they need a safety net and resources to help them cope. Rising Hearts Alliance provides emergency financial aid, emotional wellness resources, and community-based care to ensure families can focus on healing. By contributing to this fundraiser, you are directly making a difference in the lives of these families. Together, we can help them regain their footing and build a stable, hopeful future during one of the most challenging times in their lives. Thank you for your support and generosity.
