<div>Dear friends and community,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This year in less than a few weeks is the 25th anniversary of 9/11. Like so many of my friends, I still vividly remember that tragic day.  On that day, 1000s of men and women risked their lives to help save the 1000s of Americans who were trapped in the towers. Many of those souls were lost. While there are several great organizations who support our first responders and our Veterans, there are few that do it better with more pride and professionalism than The Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation (T2T).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>T2T’s mission extends to honoring our military and first responders who continue to serve selflessly, often putting their lives on the line for our safety. By contributing to this cause, you are helping to uphold their legacy and support those in need.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donations will make a tangible difference as T2T:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Provides mortgage-free homes to the families of fallen first responders.
</li>
<li>Assists injured military veterans with adaptive housing solutions.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nothing can ever replace the life of someone lost to bravery, but T2T does the work to help those heroes and their families recover.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So, I can think of no better way to honor the men and women who lost their lives in 9/11 and to Never Forget that day than to start a fundraiser to support T2T and the great work they do.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please join me (if you are willing and able) to do the same - either with your own fundraiser, or contribute to mine, or contribute directly to T2T.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please visit <a href="https://www.t2t.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.t2t.org</a> to learn more about this great organization.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But please take a moment to do something this September to honor all who were lost and injured that day, and to help those who 25 years on fight for their memory and to help to heal the lives of our first responders and their families.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My goal is to raise $25,000 for T2T and I will match every dollar donated to my campaign up to that amount.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let’s do this together. Thank you!
</div>

Support Tunnel to Towers on the 25th Anniversary of Sept 11

<div>I started swimming when I was around 3 years old. I joined my first summer league team at 5. And began swimming year-round with club teams by the time I was 8.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My Dad never missed a swim meet my entire career.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even as I got faster and we traveled farther. Even when I went to college out of state and competed every weekend from fall through spring. Even when I made Nationals - my parents packed up my little brothers and drove 20 hours to watch me swim two races that lasted a total of 1 minute 15 sections - combined - two years in a row.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This persisted even into adulthood, with him (thankfully) flying out to see my brothers and I swim in the Catalina sprint triathlon, and later when we also 'Escaped' from Alcatraz.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He was always there. Until one day, he couldn't be.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nearly 15 years ago, my Dad lost his battle with Multiple Myeloma, a blood cancer that attacks the bone marrow. He passed away just nine months after his diagnosis.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He was my best friend.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For some reason, over the past year, I've found it nearly impossible to get myself back into the water. I'll go to the gym with my suit on...and walk. Or lift weights. Or stretch. I'll do almost anything else. But swimming - the sport that was such a huge part of our lives - has been the one thing I can't seem to do.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So I'm trying something different.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This August, I'm committing to swimming 5 miles to raise money for the American Cancer Society in support of cancer research and in honor or my Dad.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I know he would be incredibly happy to see me do this. And with every lap, I'll be thinking about all the years I looked up into the stands and saw him and my Mom cheering me on.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'd like to think he's still cheering today. Just from a bench that's a little higher up.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you'd like to support me - or honor someone you've loved and lost to cancer - I would be incredibly grateful. Every donation helps fund lifesaving research, and hope for millions more.
</div>

I'm Swimming 5 Miles in August to support Cancer Research

</div>
<div>Mi nombre es Claudia. Soy una madre de familia venezolana que vive en Miami y, como tantos venezolanos alrededor del mundo, tengo el corazón partido viendo las imágenes de la devastación causada por los terremotos en Venezuela. Como mamá, lo que más me duele es ver cómo esta tragedia ha afectado a los niños. Muchos lo han perdido todo y en demasiados casos, también a sus padres.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Estoy iniciando esta recaudación de fondos destinada específicamente a los niños afectados por esta tragedia. Cada dólar donado será utilizado para comprar artículos esenciales para bebés y niños, incluyendo:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Pañales
</div>
<div>• Toallitas húmedas
</div>
<div>• Fórmula infantil
</div>
<div>• Teteros (biberones)
</div>
<div>• Chupones
</div>
<div>• Mantitas
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Yo misma compraré cada uno de estos artículos y los llevaré personalmente al centro oficial de acopio GEM (We Love Venezuela Foundation) que está enviando ayuda humanitaria a Venezuela. De esta manera, espero asegurarme de que esta ayuda llegue directamente a quienes más la necesitan: los niños.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cualquier aporte, por pequeño que sea, hace la diferencia. Y si no puedes donar, compartir esta campaña también será una gran ayuda.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gracias por acompañarme en este esfuerzo para llevar un poco de esperanza y alivio a los sobrevivientes más jóvenes de Venezuela.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>ENGLISH:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Claudia, I’m a Venezuelan mother living in Miami, and like so many of you, I've been heartbroken watching the devastation caused by the earthquakes in Venezuela. The images are especially painful as a mother. Seeing children who have lost everything, including, in many cases, their parents, has been impossible to ignore.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm starting this fundraiser to support the children affected by this tragedy. Every dollar donated will go directly toward purchasing essential baby and children's supplies, including:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Diapers
</div>
<div>• Baby wipes
</div>
<div>• Formula
</div>
<div>• Baby bottles
</div>
<div>• Pacifiers
</div>
<div>• Blankets
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I will personally purchase these items and deliver them the official collection center GEM (We Love Venezuela Foundation) that is sending humanitarian aid to Venezuela. By buying these specific supplies myself, I hope to ensure that this support reaches the children who need it most. No donation is too small. If you're unable to contribute financially, sharing this fundraiser will also be of great help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for helping me bring a little comfort to Venezuela's youngest survivors.

Emergency Relief for Venezuela Earthquake Victims

I'm Terry, Michael's dad, and my son is withering away right in front of me.  It pains me to know that instead of watching my son grow, learn and blossom into an independent young man, I will have to watch him regress, become wheelchair bound and slowly lose all functionality of his body and mind. <strong>We need your help to change his future. <br /></strong><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/39019500_1557118736291553_r.jpeg" alt="39019500_1557118736291553_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br />Michael was born one week before Christmas (he was actually due to be born on December 25) an early Christmas gift that we had all anxiously been waiting for. He was perfect, 10 fingers, 10 toes and big blue eyes, what else could we ask for. We brought him home and started our new life as a family of 5.<br /> <br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/39019500_1557119253996461_r.jpeg" alt="39019500_1557119253996461_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br />As the months went by we started to notice that Michael was missing some major milestones, in my gut I knew that there was something wrong but I just did not want to believe it.  After numerous doctors appointments, MRI's, blood work and endless conversation with medical professionals Michael was diagnosed with <strong>SPG50 an ultra rare neurodegenerative disease.</strong> <br /><br />As our neurologist explained what Michaels future looked like,  words like <strong>severe developmental delay,</strong> <strong>non verbal, spastic paraplegia</strong> and <strong>confined to a wheelchair by the age of 10</strong> painted a picture of a future that no parent wants for their child. <br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/39019500_1557117631138905_r.jpeg" alt="39019500_1557117631138905_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /> <br /><strong>It's unbelievable</strong> that our happy, lively little boy will gradually regress and be lost to this terrible disease.  <strong>We won' t sit back and watch Michael be taken away from us. </strong>He deserves better and we need to <strong>help him reach his full potential.</strong><br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/39019500_1559017976917228_r.jpeg" alt="39019500_1559017976917228_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br /><span style="font-size:1.0625rem;">SPG50 is a progressive brain disorder that begins in early childhood, it is  caused by just one missing protein… but it’s an important one.  Because he doesn’t have this protein, as degeneration rapidly progresses Michael will lose the ability to use his feet, hands and slowly his </span>brain<span style="font-size:1.0625rem;"> will </span>depress<span style="font-size:1.0625rem;"> until there is nothing left. They call it a progressive cerebral palsy.</span><br /><br />Our goal is to raise $3 million dollars in 1 year, to give Michael the chance he deserves to live a full life.  We can’t just sit back watch him decline while there is something that can be done to keep him moving forward.<br /><br />We are asking you to <strong style="text-decoration:underline;">Help us give Michael a brighter </strong><span style="font-weight:900;"><u>tomorrow</u></span><strong style="text-decoration:underline;">!</strong><br /><br />We <strong>need your help</strong> to contribute what you can , and to help share <strong>#JourneyToCureMichael, #CureMichael</strong> so it can go viral, and our goal can be reached.<br /><br />Michael can have a<strong> Brighter Tomorrow</strong> thanks to you.  <br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/39019500_1560222437566948_r.jpeg" alt="39019500_1560222437566948_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br /><strong>HOW YOU CAN HELP TODAY</strong><br />1. Donate what you can, any amount is appreciated<br />2. Share on all social media with hashtags #CureMichael #JourneyToCureMichael<br />3. Email this GoFundMe link and these steps to all contacts you know<br />4. Leverage any avenue you have to make this go viral (or send leads/tips to [email redacted])<br /><br /><strong>WHERE IS YOUR MONEY GOING?</strong><br />Every penny will go to research being done right now on SPG50 through several amazing hospitals and universities around the world. We are currently racing against time to fund this research, trial and ultimately cure for all SPG50 children. ***Any donations received above the goal will go directly to additional research into SPG50***<br /> <br /><strong>WHY SO MUCH MONEY?</strong><br />Getting a clinical trial up and running can cost millions of dollars. In Rare Diseases, large pharmaceutical companies have little interest because they don’t see ways to make a profit. <strong>If we can’t fund it, the clinical trial will not happen!</strong><br /><br /><strong>TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE</strong><br />All efforts made now to help Michael develop normally will be lost if we do not find a cure, spasticity and neurological delays will begin to affect him as early as 3, that's less than 16 months away.<br /><br /><strong>THERE IS A CLEAR FAST TRACK PATH TO TREATMENT</strong><br />1. Create proof of concept<br />2. Manufacture clinical grade drug production<br />3. Final safety studies<br />4. FDA approval to proceed with clinical trial<br />5. Start clinical trial<br /><br /><strong>Websites &amp; Social Media</strong><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/CureSPG50">Facebook</a> <br /><a href="https://twitter.com/CureSPG50">Twitter</a> <br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/tpirovoltoronto/">Instagram</a> <br /><br /><br /><br />From the bottom of our hearts we thank you, we will be forever grateful for your help and support to help Michael reach his full potential.

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Flooding is one of the most devastating natural disasters in the US, causing billions of dollars in damage each year and displacing thousands of families. Too often we see people create fundraisers on the GoFundMe platform asking for help in the wake of destructive floods.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>GoFundMe.org has launched this fund to provide direct and immediate support to those impacted by floods this year. Tax deductible donations will go to individuals and families impacted, and to the nonprofit organizations who are responding on the ground. Every dollar will go directly to the communities in need. Your support will help flood survivors begin to rebuild—stronger and together.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Current Need</strong>
</div>
<div>On December 9, 2025, an atmospheric river began sweeping through Washington state and the greater Pacific Northwest, resulting in widespread flooding and damage. We will be issuing grants to verified folks impacted as donations are raised.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On October 12, 2025, Typhoon Halong swept through Alaska’s Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, resulting in widespread flooding and damage, and over 2,000 people being displaced. New donations raised will be granted to support this community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are currently raising money to support victims of the deadly flooding in Gila County, Arizona.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Torrential rain on this August caused historic flash flooding across southeastern Wisconsin, damaging over 1,800 homes and 20+ public schools. Streets, schools, and neighborhoods in Milwaukee County were overwhelmed as rivers reached record levels. Thousands of families are now displaced, schools are facing costly repairs, and FEMA is still assessing the full extent of the damage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over the July 4th weekend, catastrophic floods swept across Central and South Texas, devastating homes, displacing families, and leaving entire communities underwater. With little warning, rising waters destroyed businesses, washed away roads, and forced emergency evacuations. Thousands of Texans are now navigating the aftermath—mourning lives lost, cleaning up what’s left, salvaging what they can, and facing an uncertain road to recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In mid‑June, San Antonio was slammed by a flash flood when over 6 inches of rain fell in just a few hours, sweeping away vehicles and killing 13 people. This marked the city’s worst flooding in over a decade, causing extensive infrastructure and road damage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Who we help</strong>
</div>
<div>We deliver cash grants directly to those impacted by domestic floods. We grant to verified individuals who qualify and are fundraising for themselves or on behalf of someone else. We may also provide grants to fundraisers benefiting small businesses and community relief efforts, and to vetted nonprofits coordinating long-term recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why donate to this fund?</strong>
</div>
<div>We provide swift support (within a few days) to individuals and communities who are directly impacted by a flood, supporting as many people as we can. Donations to this fund are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by U.S. law. We’ll send you a receipt upon donation completion.

Support Go2 for Lung Cancer in Memory of Peggy

<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.

I'm Cycling 300 Miles for American Cancer Society

<div><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:1rem;color:inherit;">I still remember my grandfather, who built beautiful furniture and a fully furnished dollhouse with incredible care. He was a WWII veteran and public servant who served others at every opportunity. My aunt was always the first person to show up for others in good and bad times. She was a musician, a hostess, and a source of comfort for her entire community. </span>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong style="color:inherit;">Alzheimer's took so much from both of them towards the end of their lives, and that is why I'm raising money for the Alzheimer's Association.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No family should have to watch their loved ones' memories disappear before their eyes. No one should have to experience the cruel reality of forgetting their own children, their life's work, or who they are. Yet right now, more than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's, and millions more family member caregivers are watching, heartbroken and exhausted. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But here's what gives me hope: research is making incredible strides. The Alzheimer's Association is funding breakthrough studies that are getting us closer to treatments, better care, and ultimately, a cure. They're supporting families right now with resources and programs that make an impossible situation just a little more bearable. And they're advocating for policies that will change the landscape of dementia care in this country.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When you donate to this campaign, you're doing something powerful:
</div>
<ul>
<li>You're funding the research that could lead to the breakthrough we desperately need
</li>
<li>You're providing support programs for families in crisis right now, today
</li>
<li>You're giving hope to someone who might be terrified of their own diagnosis
</li>
<li>You're honoring every person who has been lost to this disease
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I think about my grandfather's stories and my aunt's generosity, and I refuse to accept that future generations should lose their loved ones the same way. We have the power to change this story.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Will you join me?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every dollar brings us one step closer to a world where Alzheimer's is a memory, not a reality. Whether you can give $10 or $1,000, your contribution matters. Together, we can ensure that families in the future won't have to say goodbye the way my family did.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for standing with me in this fight. For everyone we've lost, everyone fighting now, and everyone we can still save, let's make a difference together.
