<div>My name is Jorgie Ingram, and I’m a dancer, artist, and executive assistant based in New York City. I enjoy watching the light shine through leaves of trees, spontaneous interactions with kind strangers, finding ways to make things seem more possible, writing, finding writing that inspires me, and my close friendships and relationships.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>About eight months ago (in early January), I started developing what I now understand as a seemingly complex chronic illness. It started with fatigue and exhaustion that wouldn’t get better with rest, with sleep, or with the usual things that rejuvenate me, even in a funk. These symptoms pair with nausea, constant facial pain that fluctuates in severity, and brain fog. At first, it was easy to write off as winter, or as burnout, but as time passed, I realized that nothing was helping - and that something was wrong. The things I typically found easy, or could bounce back from even if they were tiring, became incredibly difficult; I stopped having energy to go out and participate in activities I usually enjoy (going out with friends, taking a dance class in the morning before I continued my workday, going to museums, trying a new bar or restaurant, etc.). In April, when I realized it was no longer something I could push through, I assumed it was coming from my wisdom teeth that had fully grown in, and I was soon scheduled to have pulled. I had connected this sensation to one I felt off and on a couple years prior, as they were coming in. I would feel facial pressure &amp; fatigue, sometimes nausea, for a week or so, and then it would calm down and I’d forget about it. I associated these periods with my wisdom teeth coming in - but now realize that perhaps these periods may not have been from my wisdom teeth, and whatever this larger issue is has been going on for longer than I thought.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In May, I got my wisdom teeth out. They healed, and I had X-rays done a month or so after to make sure (no bone fragments or infection, and the tissue had healed well). When I recovered, and started getting back to my “normal” activities to see if my symptoms had subsided, I had a bad “crash,” and all of my symptoms came back full force. This is when I saw my primary care doctor (who is wonderful). We ran labs meant for chronic fatigue, and to test for a few bacterial &amp; viral infections (including Lyme) and they all came back normal; the only thing abnormal was a *slightly* elevated C Reactive Protein. My PCP is wondering about a diagnosis of ME/CFS, but wanted to rule out all other possibilities first, so recommended I see a neurologist and rheumatologist. I’ve had those appointments recently (in early August), and this is where things stand:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My neurologist wondered about my symptoms being atypical migraines, but is unsure about my facial pain. She prescribed me Rizatriptan (a migraine medication) to take when I get headaches, but it hasn’t helped. She also prescribed me physical therapy for my cervical spine in case something is misaligned and causing my facial pain; however, the radiologist who reviewed my MRI didn’t note any visible misalignment. Regardless, I’ll be starting physical therapy in the next couple of weeks. I had a brain MRI done, and they found a small “FLAIR hyperintensity” in my brain, but my neurologist is unsure of what exactly it is, is from, or if it could be connected to my symptoms. I have another brain MRI in three months to monitor it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My rheumatologist is a bit stumped, and doesn’t think I currently have an autoimmune disease. She ordered more lab work, and some of it came back abnormal; a low C4, a high ESR, a slightly elevated CRP (slightly higher than when I first had it done), and a positive ANA test (the test that indicates autoimmune antibodies are present in the body) at 1:320, and a pattern of homogenous and nucleolar. She thinks this could be due to one of a few things; whatever is happening in my body caused these antibodies to appear, or I’m one of the people who has these antibodies present, and I’m at a higher risk of developing an autoimmune condition, which we’ll need to monitor every year regardless.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am appreciative of the care I’ve received so far, though I’m also skeptical that having had multiple abnormal tests come back, that none of them are clues or indicators for what’s happening with me. Thus, I’m currently looking for additional specialists and functional + integrative medicine doctors to provide second opinions. I’ve also found a specialty clinic here in NYC that diagnoses and treats complex chronic illnesses that I’m trying to get an appointment at.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have some days that are okay; I can go for a long walk, see a friend for coffee, get groceries, make meals; and I have days that are extraordinarily difficult - my fatigue is too overpowering for me to walk a couple of blocks to the grocery store, or take even a short walk around my neighborhood. On days where I’m in a “crash,” simple things like slowly making a meal can spike my heart rate to 120. I don’t have any indication of what triggers these crashes other than over exerting myself on days where I feel okay; but I haven’t yet found the line, and the grief of feeling like I can’t take care of my body how it needs is often overwhelming and deeply frustrating. I went from dancing professionally and working out, walking around New York City every day, and having fulfilling, enjoyable 10-12 hour days out of the house in the fall, to not being able to get through even a 10 minute workout or a long walk without over-exerting myself.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am working on finding the somatic exercises and practices that help me through this, and thankfully am knowledgeable in quite a bit from my education; though this seems like it takes a lot of trial and error. I’m seeing a therapist, and am starting to join chronic illness support groups. I have a really wonderful support system of friends close and far, and family not too far away. Though New York City is difficult and inaccessible in some ways, it also helps me access varied kinds of care; both medical and alternative, and helps me feel close to the world - I can look out the window, or walk down the stairs and be close to people, talk to a neighbor, and remember that life exists outside of my own.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I come to crowdfunding after a great deal of thought and consideration, and after weighing all of my present options. After realizing how long and difficult of a process this may be, and accepting my current situation, I realized that the amount I have been and will be paying in medical bills and for alternative treatments to see if I can hack into what helps me feel better, will quickly become unsustainable and bring me into a heap of debt. I am lucky enough to make enough to pay for my necessities, and work two part-time flexible and remote jobs, but every medical expense is extra, and I am unable to look for another job at my current capacity. I had to step away from the dance company I was formerly working with, and have lost that income as well. I am fundraising and asking for help to be able to:
</div>
<ul>
<li>afford more opinions from well-recommended and reviewed functional or integrative medicine doctors who do not take insurance
</li>
<li>afford co-pays and percentages of large medical bills that my insurance does not fully cover
</li>
<li>Afford alternative treatments that I’d like to slowly test to see if they could help me; acupuncture, craniosacral therapy, herbal protocols, etc.
</li>
<li>stay in New York (at least for the next year) where I have community &amp; an abundance of access to care, treatments, and medical professionals, and avoid having to move back home to stay with family in order to afford medical bills and treatments (before it’s absolutely necessary). I love them (I love you guys), and they welcome me openly, but I would lose access to a lot if this ends up being necessary.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am so appreciative of anything you feel compelled to give. If you’d like to talk more, or gain a better understanding of specific numbers to understand where your donation is going, I’d be happy to have a conversation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you can’t give financially, but want to support me in other ways, I’m also looking for the following:
</div>
<ul>
<li>doctor recommendations, particularly doctors with a history of diagnosing complex chronic illness
</li>
<li>resources for free or sliding scale online classes (meditation, Feldenkrais, somatic practice, etc.)
</li>
<li>Recommendations for alternative medicine practitioners
</li>
<li>Folks who feel comfortable sharing this fundraiser with their networks
</li>
<li>……open to other ideas!
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am aiming to write more, as I’m able; it helps, and I enjoy it. You can read and anticipate to read more creative updates and essays on my Substack, here: <a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/jorgieingram?r=2m57fx&amp;utm_medium=ios" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/jorgieingram?r=2m57fx&amp;utm_medium=ios" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://open.substack.com/pub/jorgieingram?r=2m57fx&amp;utm_medium=ios</a></a>

Support Jorgie's Journey Through Chronic Illness

<div>Support Kerry Burke’s Cancer Recovery

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Kerry and Bella need our help, y’all. If you know Kerry, you know how kind, giving, and powerful her presence is. She’s the kind of person who shows up for others—lifting spirits, holding space, and, let’s be real, probably giving you one (or more) of your favorite tattoos.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>You may also know that Kerry is not the type to ask for help. But right now, this human who has supported so many is facing an enormous challenge and needs us to rally around her.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>After her sibling was diagnosed with gastric cancer, Kerry made the proactive decision to get an endoscopy. That decision may have saved her life. The screening led doctors to find stage 2 Gastric Cancer, and after countless appointments, biopsies, and in-depth research, she has found a trusted medical team and a clear plan for treatment.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Her care plan includes:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>* 4 rounds of chemotherapy

</div>

<div>* A gastrectomy (complete stomach removal surgery)

</div>

<div>* 4 more rounds of chemotherapy

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Because of early detection, her treatment can be curative. Though it will change her and Bella’s life forever, with love, support, and determination, Kerry will fight.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>But healing comes at a cost—physically, emotionally, and financially.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Kerry is a single mom to her incredible 10-year-old daughter, Bella. As Kerry undergoes treatment, Bella will need all the love and stability we can provide. But more than that, she deserves the chance to continue learning, creating, and having fun, and to still be a kid, even in the midst of such a difficult time. Our support can help ensure that Bella has the resources and opportunities to stay engaged in school, explore her creativity, and experience joy while her mom focuses on healing.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Kerry is also a small business owner, which means every moment away from work impacts her ability to support herself and her daughter. She will need to step back significantly while undergoing her first four rounds of chemotherapy, spend weeks in the hospital after surgery receiving nutrients and teaching her body to thrive without a stomach. After that, she’ll need up to three months for at-home recovery before beginning her final four rounds of chemotherapy.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>How You Can Help

</div>

<div>This GoFundMe exists to help cover Kerry’s rent, living expenses, and provide stability for Bella while Kerry focuses on healing. Every dollar donated is a direct, tangible way to support them through this journey.

</div>

<div>If you can, please donate—no amount is too small. And if you aren’t in a position to give, sharing this page is just as powerful.

</div>

<div>Kerry has shown up for so many. Now, let’s show up for her and Bella.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With love and gratitude, 

</div>

<div><br />

<div>Hello, my name is Thomas Wilson and I am a professional Martial Arts Instructor at Martial Posture Studio.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve been recently presented an opportunity to compete in the <strong>ISKA Thailand kickboxing tournament</strong>. It is my goal to build myself both as a coach and fighter so that I can better serve my community and be a resource of knowledge to others. Training and competing in Thailand is the perfect opportunity for me to broaden my horizons and become a better coach and community leader.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I was an inner-city kid who started martial arts at 14 years old at Martial Posture, and I cannot express enough how martial arts has helped me grow in all aspects of my life. It is my goal to pass this blessing on to others.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The total cost of the trip is $2500, which will cover my flight, training, room and board, and tournament entry fees! <strong>I humbly ask for any donations to help me reach this goal.</strong> Thank you so much for considering the donation or even sharing my social media.

Help Thomas Compete in ISKA Thailand Tournament

<div><strong>UPDATE- </strong>The love and support I’ve received in less than 48 hours is ASTOUNDING! All I have in my heart is gratitude! To those who have already donated, I cannot say thank you enough!! To those who have expressed that they want to help after the Christmas holiday, I will leave this campaign live until January 1, 2025. With that said, and no expectations, I will change the goal 1 final time to the amount that will allow me to walk into the new year without any pressure from 2024. Whether the latest goal is reached or not, my situation is saved by those who’ve already shared their love, support and appreciation for my journey as a Philadelphia dance educator and I cannot thank you enough. Blessings on blessings to you all! 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>UPDATE</strong>- I am overjoyed by the amount of support the Philly community, dance community, family and friends, students, colleagues and others have extended to me in such a short amount of time. After consulting with close friends and colleagues, l've updated the goal from $1980 to $2500 to allow for folks who still have it in their hearts to give and support my overflow. If l've ever needed a reason to believe that I am loved and appreciated, the quick turnaround of this situation is the proof I needed. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you, thank you,
</div>
<div>thank you!!
</div>

<div>Hi, my name is Julian, and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for your help. Due to unexpected financial challenges, <strong>I am at risk of being evicted from my home</strong>. I’ve done everything I can to manage on my own, but now I need to lean on the kindness of my community to stay housed and regain stability.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a dance educator in Philadelphia, I’ve built my career teaching and inspiring others through movement. I used to teach nine adult classes weekly in Center City at Urban Movement Arts and Range of Motion Philly, and I also instruct academic courses like Intro to African Diaspora Traditions, Umfundalai I, and Umfundalai II at Temple University. Beyond that, I work with youth in programs like Let’s Dance and High School Choreographic Mentorship in association with The Philadelphia Ballet.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Last year, I sustained an ankle injury but pushed through my demanding teaching schedule because I needed the income. Without adequate rest to heal, I reached my physical limits with every class. Eventually, I had to step back from my adult classes to focus on recovery. Though I’ve since healed physically, the financial impact has been far more challenging to overcome.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My academic contracts only pay at the end of the month, and without the supplemental income from my studio classes, I fell behind on rent and bills. Despite working diligently to catch up, I am still one month behind, and now, with my lease ending in January, <strong>I am facing eviction if I cannot pay my balance by January 5th.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am asking for $1,980 to cover:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Rent - 1500
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Late Fees - 480
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This amount will bring me current and give me the chance to finish my lease while continuing to rebuild my finances. All other bills and expenses are my responsibility, and I am committed to handling them on my own.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support would mean the world to me and allow me to continue my work as a dance educator, bringing the joy and purpose of movement to both adults and young dancers. If I cannot raise these funds, I will be forced to close the Philadelphia chapter of my life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation, no matter how small, brings me closer to staying in my home and continuing to inspire through dance. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this campaign with others would be an incredible help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read my story and for any support you can provide.
</div>

Help Julian Stay Housed After Injury Setback

<div>Hi, my name is Sherrie Jacob and I'm fund raising for Sylvia Coleman. Sylvia is a dear friend of mine whom I go back to high school days with. Anyone who knows Sylvia, has most likely tried her delicious sea salt cookies. Sylvia works around the clock with her cookie business, Sylvia's Custom Cookies, in addition to her full time job. She is a single mother trying to make ends meet. On Tuesday, July 11, 2023, Sylvia was scheduled for back surgery. Things took a turn for the worse and she went into cardiac arrest while in the OR. She was administered CPR and has been on a ventilator since. Her current condition is somewhat stable, however, she is not out of the woods and the next several days are crucial.  She is also being observed for the need of a pacemaker.  Hoping and praying she has a complete recovery. This will be a financial hardship for Sylvia since she depends on her cookie business to pay her monthly expenses. Please give the gift of a donation whether small or large so I can help my friend. I thank everyone in advance who makes a donation. All donations are appreciated by myself and Sylvia's family. God bless all. ❤️

Recently, my financial support has been cut.  I am unable to begin spring semester of my sophomore year. I am grateful for The University of the Arts and am willing to do everything I can to continue my education. Anything helps!

Help Maris with their Education

As most of you know by now Tom had a very serious accident on 4/15/20.   A couple of trees were cut down in the backyard and the lawn guys came over to grind down the tree stumps.  There was a metal pole in the area where the trees were cut down.  So once the guy started working on the tree Tom thought he could help out by pushing the metal pole out of the way.  The pole snapped and Tom lost his balance. The quick thinking of the other guy saved Tom from the worst of it.  But both legs were hit by the blade and he lost a lot of blood.  Needless to say Tom is currently at Delray Medical Center undergoing multiple surgeries and resting.  The medical bills are piling up and the The Sutterfield family can use the financial assistance.  Tom was also in the process of renovating his house.  Part of the house is gutted.  So we may be able to assist the Sutterfields as well with work in their home.  Anything that you can donate or  do to help would be greatly appreciated.
