 On Friday, October 9, a fire destroyed the Springside Ave. apartment <strong>Tugba Merino shared with her five-month-old daughter, Ela, and Bulut, her beloved dog.</strong> Thankfully, no one was hurt, but the family lost most of their possessions and is now without a home.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 <strong>On top of this, Ela's father was detained by ICE two days later and is currently being held in a facility hours away, with no clear explanation.</strong> This has made a heartbreaking situation even harder for the family.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 They are overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next. If you know of any housing assistance, legal support, organizations, or resources that could help them rebuild their lives, please reach out. Any support, advice, or guidance would mean so much to them.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Tugba has been a devoted caregiver for others' children for years, as a pre-school teacher at various schools in the Berkshires and western Mass. Now, we are asking the community she loves to show her some of that same care, by helping her and her daughter recover from this traumatic experience and find a warm, safe home before winter comes.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Thank you for your kindness and for keeping this beautiful young family in your thoughts.
</div>

Hope, Healing, and a New Home for Ela and Tugba

<div>My brother and I are facing a difficult time after the unexpected passing of our father. Everything changed so quickly, and we’re now trying to navigate life without his support and guidance. It’s been overwhelming to manage the emotional loss and has left us with a lot of uncertainty about the future. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’ve established this fund to provide people an opportunity to assist us in ensuring we are able to meet our future goals including higher education and as we adjust to this new reality. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for any support you can offer. It means more than we can say, and we are grateful for any help during this difficult time.

Support for Siblings After Loss

Courtney Warren, or as many of you know her, “Coco,” is currently hospitalized at Mass General Hospital, facing the toughest battle of her life. For the past four years, Courtney has bravely fought an ongoing liver condition—one that has suddenly and seriously worsened over the last month. She is now undergoing urgent evaluation for a potential liver transplant, a possibility that brings both hope and fear during an already overwhelming time. 
<br>
<br>
 Courtney’s family has been traveling back and forth from the Berkshires to Boston to stay close to her, support her care, and navigate this frightening medical journey together. The emotional and financial strain has been immense. Whether Courtney receives a transplant or continues with alternative treatments, she is facing months to a year of procedures, possible surgeries, and countless follow-up appointments in Boston. The road ahead is long, uncertain, and incredibly costly. 
<br>
<br>
 We are asking for help—any amount truly makes a difference. Your support will ease the burden of medical expenses, travel, lodging, and the many unforeseen challenges that come with long-term critical illness. Courtney and her family are profoundly grateful for the love, generosity, and strength of this community. Thank you for standing with her during this unimaginable time.

<div>On Tuesday, June 10th life as Michelle and Josh knew it came to a crashing halt. While riding his motorcycle in Arizona, Josh was struck by another vehicle and has suffered extensive injuries. A broken back, broken neck, a broken clavicle, a shattered shoulder blade, a lacerated spleen, puncturing of both lungs, and all broken ribs were just the initial injuries. Emergent surgery was detrimental for stabilization as the injuries Josh sustained were life threatening.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since the accident, Josh has successfully undergone multiple surgeries, but has many ahead. Although the overall prognosis for Josh is positive, the road ahead is a long one. With more time in the ICU, still more weeks being hospitalized, and then time at a rehab center Josh’s medical care and treatment will be long and very expensive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Once Michelle was notified, she was on the first plane to Phoenix to be with Josh. Having taken a leave of absence from work to be with Josh, oversee his medical care, and be a physical presence as he recovers. Josh’s family is trying to determine when Josh will be able to safely return to Massachusetts. What will the medical expenses be? How long is being on leave sustainable? What obstacles will Josh be facing long term?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As they navigate the future across the country and far away from the comforts of their home, they need our help. Never one to ask for anything, and the quickest to offer help, Michelle is so very appreciative of all that have reached out, offered assistance, and have been a support system to her and Josh during this time. Any contribution would be deeply appreciated as the medical bills will be coming in shortly while juggling living expenses in Arizona and maintaining their home in Pittsfield.

<div>This page has been established to support the Wellman Family as they navigate this most difficult, and grief filled time. On Friday, April 26th Jerry passed away suddenly.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a friend of Jerry's, the first qualities that come to mind is his incredible kindness and generosity. Jerry was the friend that would drop anything to help you, celebrate your accomplishments, and quick to brighten tough days with a joke. Jerry truly cared about his friends and family; he remembered the little things. He would email you job postings if you said you wanted a new job, he would check in if you said you had a stressful week or pick up a beer if you mentioned you liked it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jerry's kindness and true passion for making a difference carried into his career. Jerry was a special education teacher in the Boston Public School System. He chose to advocate for those with disabilities knowing he could help provide them with life skills. He met his students where they were and cheered them on in their achievements. Jerry's goal for his students was to help them live independent and fulfilling lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While Jerry was an incredible friend and teacher, he truly shined as a husband and father. He loved his wife, Liza, beyond words and the two had so many hopes and dreams for their life ahead of them. Over the past few years, the two bought a house together and turned that house into a home when they started their family. The couple have two adorable children- Molly (3) and Jack (1). Jerry loved being a father and was the most patient and loving dad a child could ask for. His family came first- he was their rock, their support, their advocate and their best friend. A true family man. Jerry was taken way too soon on April 26, 2024. The impact that his passing has had on the lives of his friends and family is completely devastating.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jerry and Liza's friends know that navigating the death of a husband is unimaginable. Grieving the loss of the love of your life while raising two small children is a difficult journey. Our hope is to help raise money to assist with the unplanned and immediate expenses that come with such a tragic passing and to help their children, Molly and Jack. As friends of Jerry and Liza it only seems fitting to honor Jerry by supporting his family during this difficult time. The support you give is very much appreciated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you.

2023 Fundraiser

This fundraiser is to benefit one of the strongest women we all know. Christine is a single mother of 6 (ages ranging from 5 to 21), that would do anything for anyone (and has already). She is currently on her second battle with this awful disease, just when things looked like they were so much better, she got some of the worst news, her cancer indeed spread to other places, making her stage 4. She can't go back to work as a school bus driver that she has been doing since 2012. She is still the provider for her babies, still has all the bills mortgage etc. Without being able to work puts extra added pressure on her that she definitely doesn't need at this moment. She's trying to keep life as normal as possible for her kids , unfortunately the cost of living waits for nobody . If you could find it in your heart, please donate every dollar adds up. Share, every share is another chance for someone to help.<img src="https://d2kw0licpa1moo.cloudfront.net/70608595_1674263903768892_updates.jpg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="70608595_1674263903768892_updates.jpg" /><br /><img src="https://d2kw0licpa1moo.cloudfront.net/70608595_1674263904523298_updates.jpg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="70608595_1674263904523298_updates.jpg" /><br /><img src="https://d2kw0licpa1moo.cloudfront.net/70608595_1674263905278444_updates.jpg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="70608595_1674263905278444_updates.jpg" /><br /><img src="https://d2kw0licpa1moo.cloudfront.net/70608595_1674263906121556_updates.jpg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="70608595_1674263906121556_updates.jpg" />

Christine's fight against cancer

<div>I was shopping at Walmart the other day, and was waited on by an 82yr old man named Butch. As a business owner and knowing how hard it's been to try to find good help for my business. I was astounded seeing this little older man still grinding. Working 8 to 9 hour shifts. Recently seeing a gofundme for a 82 yr old lady working at Walmart on Tik Tok, and seeing they raised money for her to retire for good. I wanted to help this Navy Veteran to live the remainder of his years traveling to see his kids in Florida. Get him off his feet for 8 hrs at a time. And do the things he would love to do that he may not be able to for financial reasons. Every penny will go to Butch. Janette, the daughter of Butch, has confirmed that I can withdraw the funds on behalf of her father and send them outside of GoFundMe. Once that happens, <span style="letter-spacing:0.0085px;">I will be hand delivering Warren Marion (Butch) a cashier check for the full amount given after the Gofundme fee is subtracted.</span>

<div>On Saturday August 13th, the Wojieck family suffered a devastating loss when Brian succumb to his injuries from a falling accident earlier in the day while putting the finishing touches on his family's dream home. Brian leaves behind his beautiful wife Jacelyn, and their 5 shared children, Graclyn, Braden, Anthony, Charlotte, and Nolan. Brian brought a light into this world that will never be forgotten. To know him was to love him and he is deeply missed. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We first ask for prayers for his entire family as we cope with the loss of this amazing human being but have been asked by many on where they can donate so I have started this page for that. Thanks you for all the love and support as we grieve this incredible loss together. God bless

<div>As many of you know our dear friend Malcolm Frazer passed away unexpectedly leaving his family devasted. On top of grieving the loss of Malcolm, they are overwhelmed with medical bills. The life flight alone is astronomical. We would love to alleviate some of the stress while they learn to navigate this new normal without their husband, father and
</div>
<div>grandfather.
</div>
<div>Malcolm was always the first to be there for a friend in need. No questions asked.
</div>
<div>Let's do the same for his family. Any donation helps and is greatly appreciated.
</div>
<div>Thank you and please share!

<div>Hello, My name is Curtis Cowell. My oldest son, Dylan, has been fighting for his life since May 1st. He was found unresponsive, suffered a stroke and is currently in ICU at Berkshire Medical Center. We do not know what the future holds for his recovery. He’s going to need long term medical care in a rehabilitation center, and we are uncertain whether he will ever be able to walk or talk again. He recently had a procedure for a tracheotomy and a feeding tube placed. We are praying every day that Dylan becomes stronger and starts to come back to us. It’s so hard to see your child go through something like this and there Isn’t much you can do for him other than wait to see how his recovery turns out. My family and I are trying to maintain our everyday lives, while being at Dylan’s side as much as we can. While trying to do all of this, my youngest son and daughter continue to have infusions at Mass General Hospital and Baystate Hospital, and I am also trying to keep the North Adams Babe Ruth League up and running. We are also trying to extend Dylan’s medical insurance and the medical bills have started to arrive already. I am asking anyone with the means to donate to help with Dylan’s recovery; Any amount would be greatly appreciated. Please share this with your family and friends and keep praying for Dylan. Thank you.
</div>

Prayers and Help Needed for Dylan’s Recovery

<div>In December Pat was diagnosed with a Stage 4 Squamous Cell Carcinoma of his tongue that metastasized to some of the surrounding lymph nodes. After a very extensive surgery of removing more than half of his tongue and the affected lymph nodes, reconstructing it with tissue from his thigh and other areas of his body, he continues to fight obstacle after obstacle before he can even begin his chemo and radiation treatments! Requiring extensive dental work and having to have many teeth extracted. He is currently being nourished through a feeding tube.
</div>

<div>Pat is a hard working man with a beautiful heart who loves his family and friends! He and his fiancé Kim have been trying very hard to stay positive and sane during this very challenging time. Their lives have been completely turned around. Pat sees many doctors that span across the state. The medical expenses, travel, hotels, food, etc is all adding up fast. Not to mention household expenses as well! Kim was offered a wonderful job opportunity just before Pat's diagnosis and unfortunately she was not able to take it. She is Pat's sole caregiver and has a full time job of coordinating and getting Pat to appointments, caring for him and all of their animals, on top of all of the other household and daily duties.
</div>

<div>Please consider donating to help defer the costs that are mouting faster than anyone would be able to keep up with. Dealing with financial burdens on top of everything else is an indescribable kind of emotional stress.
</div>

<div>We will keep you updated on Pat's progress as we know more!! And please keep them in your prayers!!
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Thank you all in advance! ❤

<div>I do not know how to start this update. It is with a shattered heart and the heaviest weight that I share this message with you all. As may of you know my nephew Asher had been fighting a rare brain cancer. The morning of March 24, 2022 at 6:31 am he lost that battle. I would like to thank all of you that sent prayers and donations to his go fund me as well as your well wishes and heartfelt words of support. This family has been through so much and I wanted to let everyone following his progress know that he is at rest. Please continue to pray for his family. And if possible every donation helps. <br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Asher was only 6 months old when, what we thought was an ear infection, turned out to be some of the most devastating news a parent could ever hear. Brain Cancer.

</div>

<div><br />
</div>

<div>He has a rare brain cancer that is growing on his brain stem and threatening his ability to control things like swallowing and breathing. 

</div>

<div><br />
</div>

<div>Recent scans have shown that despite the doctors hard work and this little man’s fierce fighting spirit, current therapy is no longer working as we hoped and we are praying for another course of action. Until then, the goal is just to get him out of the hospital while the doctors work on a new plan so he can be with his siblings and close family as much as possible.

</div>

<div><br />
</div>

<div>Both of us have lost our incomes and have been living on social security while we travel back and forth to Boston to get Asher the treatment he needs. All the while juggling our three other kids Jack (13), Zander (10), and Cora (7).

</div>

<div><br />
</div>

<div>We are trying to raise this money to provide for not only the steadily rising medical bills, but for the cost of driving to and from Boston for treatments and admissions Asher has had due to complications, child care for the other 3 kiddos, lost wages, and basic living expenses. We hate to ask for help but we are in desperate need of financial support so that we can focus on what truly matters at the most difficult time of our lives.

</div>

<div><br />
</div>

<div>If financial support isn’t possible (we understand!) just heartfelt prayers and sharing Asher’s story would be mean the world to us. Thank you! 

</div>

</div>

Asher’s Final expenses

<div>Update: Carter unfortunately had to spend Christmas at Baystate Children's Hospital but Santa was able to find him and give him a magical Christmas morning. (Thank you, Strong Little Souls).<br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/62111939_1640794573645961_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="62111939_1640794573645961_r.jpeg" /> He has since been transferred to Boston Children's Hospital, hoping that they will be able to give them some much needed answers to what exactly is going on with Carter's body. <br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/62111939_1640794609994902_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="62111939_1640794609994902_r.jpeg" /> <br />Also, due to the huge number of people already signed up for the blood drive at Zucchinis on 1/3 there will now be a second drive in Carter’s honor on Thursday, January 6th from 8:30am-3pm at DCF (73 Eagle St Pittsfield, MA).<br />Thank you for your continued support and generosity. It means the world to Carter and his family. Every little bit helps.<br /><br />On December 4th Carter LaCasse was diagnosed with Leukemia. Usually Leukemia "nicely" fits into 1 of two types (myeloid or lymphoma) and then for lymphoma there are two sub types (type B cell and type T cell). Carter's cells are showing all 3 types which is extremely rare. So more specifically, Carter has B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Chemotherapy began on December 10th. This little boy and his family have had a difficult few weeks already with many more to come.
</div>

<div>His mom, Crystal Czerno, is a teacher at Pittsfield High School, a coworker of mine, and one of my best friends in the entire world. She is strong beyond belief but this journey will not be easy on her, Carter, or Carter's brother, Tyler. If you are able to, please consider making a donation to help them with the financial burden this will undoubtedly cause.
</div>

<div>If you are not able to donate money, please consider donating blood. There is a national shortage and the blood and platelet transfusions Carter has been receiving regularly has helped tremendously. There will be a blood drive on Monday, January 3rd at Zucchini's Restaurant from 8:30am-4:30pm in honor of Carter. To sign up, please contact the Berkshire Health Systems Blood Mobile. If you are not able to make it, please consider donating at your convenience.
</div>

<div>This is a strong little boy with a large community rallying around him and his family. Please help show them this by making a donation. #carterstrong

On July 3rd he took a bad fall down the stairs and hit his head pretty hard. After an MRI of the brain, they discovered a tumor on his brain stem. De'Moni was sent to Boston Children's hospital where more testing showed that the tumor is cancer (further testing is in progress to determine the type and severity of it). But what they know right now is that the tumor is inoperable. He will have to undergo chemotherapy and radiation treatments. The tumor can affect his speech, movements, breathing and pretty much anything in his neurological system.
</p>

<p> 
</p>

<p>De'Moni's journey is just beginning and it is going to be a very long road for him and his family. His Mom and Dad are by his side every step of the way and they are going to need lots of support right now! This is a beautiful young family that has already gone through many adversities and have managed to stick together through it all. De'Moni is a happy, silly, beautiful little boy with a big heart and he is the best big brother to his little sister! He loves basketball and video games!
</p>

<p> 
</p>

<p>Please donate and/or share De'Moni's story! Every little bit helps! They will need money for medical expenses, travel and accomodations for long trips back and forth to Boston. I will keep all of you updated on De'Moni's progress. Let's show this family so much love, especially from our community! Thank you all so much in advance for anything you can do to help.

Skip and Patty Johnson have been dedicated members of the West Stockbridge Congregational Church in West Stockbridge, Massachusetts for many years.<br /><br />Skip has lived with serious health problems for a long while including heart disease, Parkinson disease, diabetes, kidney failure, and tumors in his stomach and lungs.  Patty has been by Skip's side through every crisis; every surgery; and at  every doctor's appointment.   As Skip's primary caregiver, she needs to be able to communicate with doctors, social workers and home health aides.  <br /><br />Unfortunately Patty is now facing the challenge of hearing loss and cannot act as Skip's advocate without the help of hearing aids.<br /><br />The problem is that hearing aids are extremely expensive.  The hearing aids that Patty needs cost $6,000.  Although the Johnsons live on a limited fixed-income, they have decided to take out a loan to cover the cost because they cannot live without this critical medical device.  Making monthly payments will be difficult and might mean that they are forced to live without many basic needs. <br /><br />We'd like to try and help the Johnsons raise funds to pay off the loan sooner than later.  Please consider contributing to this fundraiser to help pay for Patty's hearing aids.

In this difficult time, his wife Sheena and their two young boys Jameson (5) and Jaxon (4) truly appreciate your condolences. They are overwhelmed with the love everyone has already shown them and appreciate you all more than you know. We realize you may be looking for ways to show your love and support. Please share your favorite stories and memories and donate whatever you can. Thank you! </span>

Support for the Sisto family

We tragically lost Brianna this week from a very brief illness. She has left 3 beautiful babies behind. Any amount to help with cremation and help with her babies will be greatly appreciated.

Brianna

As many of you know, four years ago my brother was diagnosed with a stage four glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer with a typical life expectancy of 18 months. Yet here I sit nearly four years later feeling both devastated and lucky. <br /><br />Today, we say goodbye to Jason Bennett: father, son, brother, uncle, veteran, coach, and friend. We had nearly four years of fishing trips, comedy shows, family gatherings, and so much more that others who struggle with this fatal diagnosis never get. <br /><br />I have been asked by so many, how can we help. Getting through the transition of this month, taking time off work and managing funeral expenses will be challenging. If you can spare a dime, please consider donating a few dollars to the go fund me below. These are tough financial times for all though, so please don’t feel a bit guilty if you can't. I will make sure that we do something in his honor when the world returns to something closer to normal.

Making this page is surreal. The story of Liann's life is a beautiful one but the story of her death is sudden and heart breaking.<br /><br />Liann passed away on January 1, 2017 due to unforseen complications following the birth of her first child,  Wyatt Joseph Buck, born just 4 days prior. <br /><br />This page to raise money for her husband Eric and the baby as well as to help with any expenses for the family.<br /><br /> As this is a sudden and unexpected tragedy the costs are a burden, a burden we can all collectively help lift.<br /><br />God Bless.
