<div>Anyone that knows me knows that I’m a very generous and giving person. Whether it is donating to causes, sharing pizza or tacos with the homeless, giving generous tips to service workers or musicians, or just trying to be there for someone that needs me or my help. I thrive on “do unto others” and “reap what you sow”, but this isn’t about me. This is for Maria. Someone who just wants to go to the beach and spend a little more time with her beloved grandson. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I created this GoFundMe for someone who desperately needs it. I have never done one before but felt that I needed to get involved as much as she probably doesn’t want me to and is way too stubborn and prideful to ask herself. She is the most unselfish person you will ever meet. For years, week in and week out, I’ve promoted other people and other people’s establishments because I enjoy it. I love to see others succeed or be happy and love to spread that joy through pictures and videos. I have never asked for anything in return. Ever. Not once. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today I am asking for help for someone who needs it. <strong>Someone that for the last 25 years has always been there for me when I needed her to be or anyone else for that matter. I never had to ask. Not necessarily always monetarily but just showing her huge heart and open mind.</strong> Someone that I feel matched my generosity when it comes to her fellow humans. This is my way of repaying her for her generosity towards me and others over all the years and hope she can make a recovery mentally, physically and financially from this medical condition that seems to never go away.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Being laid up in a hospital for two months has put a huge financial strain on her and her will to still be here with us.</strong> The bills keep coming as do the health struggles, day in and day out. All I want for her is to have peace of mind that no matter how hard the struggle is, I have her back. But I can’t do it alone. This is where you come in.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please help if you can and if you cannot, please share. Thank you in advance and God bless you.
</div>

Support a Generous Soul in Need

<div>I’m fundraising to help Chris O’Brien (our beloved COB) move his music school to a new location. My name is Liz, a student of Music4Lyfe and girlfriend of its fearless leader. Chris is a lifelong musician and passionate music teacher. His business Music4Lyfe is a treasured rock music school for kids and adults of all ages. The school teaches its students how to play multiple rock instruments of their choosing, like guitar, bass, drums/percussion, keyboard, horns as well as vocal lessons. Each student also gets to join a band formed by Chris and his teachers, to learn how to play together as a team and reap the benefits of making music with others. Chris books regular gigs for the bands at local venues to allow students to showcase their hard work and have fun. At Music4Lyfe students learn new skills, gain a new language through music and confidence to play to a crowd that translates to increased confidence and joy in life!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Music4Lyfe is losing its current location in Lake Worth, Florida at the end of February 2024 (edit - extended to end of April YAY!). The school has occupied a large space at a reasonable cost since 2019. Its current home will be an immense loss and difficult to find again. Music4Lyfe truly is a fun, safe and welcoming place for its students and it is Chris’s mission to keep it that way. He and his team have to find a new home, build it out to meet the school’s needs and move the equipment (instruments, sound equipment, stages, lighting, furniture, etc.) to its new location. He is currently looking for a suitable new spot, but most are at a higher price for less space and will require a large down payment that exceeds the school’s savings.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Funds raised here will go directly to Music4Lyfe to help pay first/last month’s rent and security deposit at the new location, build out and moving costs. Thank you so much in advance for your generous support and sharing of this fundraiser. No donation is too big or too small, and every bit of kindness and help is greatly appreciated. Every share helps immensely! Please help us meet our goal to find a space that embodies Chris’s vision and Keep Music4Lyfe Playing!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>**Music4Lyfe has been given an extension to move out of on May 1st! This is so helpful as finding an affordable new location has been a challenge. Chris is currently looking at a spot close to home and is in the initial stages of negotiating. Fingers crossed they'll work with him! All of the funds raised (and then some!) can make this move happen. He is so grateful to all who've donated so far and is feeling the love! Thank you ALL, let's keep the momentum going!

<div>Hi, my name is Wayne Belfer. Unfortunately my dear friend Angel Derosa had an unfortunate fall this week and had to surgery right away. Angel is the hardest working server at CJ Black’s. Due to this surgery Angel with be out of work for several weeks. This will cause her financial hardship. Let’s show Angel the we care for her the way she cares for us. 
</div>

PLEASE HELP ANGEL

<div>Dear friends and family (by blood, or by Boston Scientific - I consider the two pretty damn close to equal),
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>About a month ago our family got the word that my cousin-in-law, Robin, was diagnosed with HERS2 Positive Breast Cancer that has spread to her lungs, stomach, throat and possibly her rib bones. I immediately reached out to everyone I knew at BSC who could possibly help and within minutes was receiving calls and texts from a group of amazing humans who were willing to step in and do anything in their power to help us. Robin was seen the very next business day by the best cardiothoracic surgeon in FL. The "family mentality", and the unwavering support that we have for one another at BSC is second to none. I will always be forever grateful for the comfort of knowing that we all have each other's backs. It truly is the best work family I could ever imagine having.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here comes the tough part, or "the ask" as it's called in all of our meetings...
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, due to the extent of the cancer, she needs extensive testing and treatments and is not able to financially support the level of care that she needs at this time. Her son, River, has been battling Type 1 Diabetes for the last 15 years and Robin has been doing everything in her power to cover her son's medical bills when medical insurance has fallen short.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please consider donating to help Robin fight this horrible disease. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Many thanks in advance for your support,
</div>
<div>Julie

Please help Robin beat her cancer diagnosis!

<div>Hi - my name is Shanna. Nearly 4 years ago Sam (The Electric Viking) started his YouTube channel. Now he is trying to help me survive what the doctors in Australia are calling Stage 4 incurable colorectal cancer, which has spread to other parts of my body.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Incurable doesn't mean I will die from this cancer, but it does mean I have a very tough battle ahead of me to fight it, and to live for more years with Sam and my boys. It also means that to get the best treatment and have the best chance of beating it, I have to get specialised care that is not covered by the Australian medical system.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your help would be amazing, and even the smallest donation means a huge amount to me (and to Sam, plus my boys; Cal who is 6 and Jack who is 9).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you,
</div>
<div>Love Shanna
</div>

Shanna's Stage 4 cancer treatments

<div>My name is Shane. My sister, Shannon, has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. The doctors have given her 2-3 months to live with no treatment and possibly a year with treatment. She is unable to work and the cancer center has refused her any funding. The money raised through Go Fund Me will help pay for her medical expenses and give her the best possible time on this earth that she has left. It will also help with hospice when the time comes. 
</div>
<div>My sister is 50 years old and has worked her whole life in the construction industry running heavy equipment. She loves animals, spending time with her nieces, great nephew and all her family.  She has a love for playing guitar, writing music and singing karaoke. She has many lifelong friends across the United States. 
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, she doesn't have insurance. Please donate what you can. Anything will help. After she leaves this life, whatever money is left over will be donated to help someone else in her situation.
</div>

Help fund my sister's cancer journey.

<div>Hello, Hollywood neighbors!
</div>

<div>You may have noticed hundreds of yard signs around our city raising awareness about the proposal to allow developers to have a 99 year lease for a 347 foot, 30 story condo tower on our public oceanfront land. There are signs now in every commission district in the city.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Thanks to a group of donations we were able to buy the signs and fulfill your requests. We have also been distributing stickers, and have  begun collecting signatures to override the City commission's decision.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Follow this facebook page. A group of caring Hollywood citizens run this facebook page:
</div>

<div><a href="https://www.facebook.com/NO-private-condo-tower-on-Hollywood-public-beach-101689205539310" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/NO-private-condo-tower-on-Hollywood-public-beach-101689205539310" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.facebook.com/NO-private-condo-tower-on-Hollywood-public-beach-101689205539310</a></a>
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>This campaign will either be won by a vote from our county commissioners (to deny the land use amendment/swap for density), legalities, or a public referendum. If it gets decided with a public referendum, we will use funds for more yard signs, flyers, door hangers, and filing fees. Referendum:  "The electors shall have the power, in accordance with the provisions of this Article 5, to approve or reject at the polls any measure passed by the commission or submitted by the commission to a vote of the electors, such power being known as a referendum." We will also need money for legal fees. <br /><br />
</div>

<div>Thank you for your support in protecting our beautiful public oceanfront land, and please reuse your yard sign instead of sending it to the landfill. We will have a celebration on the beach at Azalea Terrace when we defeat this awful plan, and you can bring the yard sign to me at the celebration and I will reuse it for a future purpose.

(Biederman and Gruber said they wouldn't be opposed to 30 stories because it means more money). Mayor Levy said the strong opposition was because those opposed must have been swayed by slanted information with a false narrative.<br /><br />Next steps: From what we understand, the ways to stop this project would be-<br /><br />1. Stopping it at the County level, as the City would need a land use amendment from Broward County. Broward Commission emails:<br /><a href="https://www.broward.org/Commission/Pages/default.aspx"><a href="https://www.broward.org/Commission/Pages/default.aspx" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.broward.org/Commission/Pages/default.aspx</a></a> <br /><br />2. A public referendum. Will need 15% of the signatures of the registered voters in Hollywood. Registered voters would need to sign the official referendum petition in-person, on paper (not online). Once 15% are collected, the City Clerk would verify all the signatures to make sure they are all registered voters. This could overturn the decision of the City Commission. Stay tuned for updates. <br /><br />3. Attorneys are currently meeting about this to discuss next steps/possible legal arguments. Legal research has fees associated. No lawsuit has been filed yet.

Kevin found out late in the evening of 2/16 that he has cancer; 2/17 happens to be his 31st birthday and we are setting up this fundraiser as a birthday gift for him. <br /><br />His family recently lost their insurance and won't have the ability to cover all the medical expenses associated with the care he needs.<br /><br />He is already scheduled for surgery on Friday 2/19 and any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. We are still awaiting a lot of answers that will only come from more tests and after the surgery is done. We will continually update this as we learn more.<br /><br />Any help is appreciated. No gift is too small. The support of Kevin's friends, family and the communities he's a part of are essential to getting through this difficult time.<br /><br />Please share this if possible and keep Kevin in your thoughts.

Help Kevin Beat Cancer

My son, Aleksi, was robbed and assaulted on October 14th while walking home from his new job in Lincoln Park, Chicago. He was beaten with a hammer and his arm was broken.<br /><br />We are so grateful that the situation wasn’t worse, but unfortunately Lex currently doesn’t have health insurance. That was lost when contract for his last job as a math teacher with the Saga Education program ended in spring.<br /><br />Lex began a new job as a cell phone and computer technician last week. With a broken arm, he’s unsure if he’ll be able to continue his work, but we are hoping for the best.<br /><br />After graduating from Florida Polytechnic University in 2019 with a degree in Computer Sciences, Lex moved to Chicago with his girlfriend who began a Masters program there. As young students and recent graduates, they do not have any savings and we hope to help then avoid going into debt. <br /><br />Next week, we’ll find out if he requires orthopedic surgery, but already visits to the ER and X-rays are expensive without insurance. Any small donation helps immensely and will go towards his healthcare costs. We will update the costs here once we know more.<br /><br />To our friends, family, and strangers reading, thank you so much for your love and support ❤️

HOPE 4 HOPE TOWN - ABACO ISLANDS RELIEF FUND

Our dear mother Vickie Simonelli was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 Squamous Cell Carcinoma Cancer (i.e., head and neck cancer). She recently underwent a biopsy in September to confirm her diagnosis and treatment plan.  The treatment plan entails undergoing a rigorous amount of radiation to her neck and three rounds of chemotherapy. We anticipate that she will not be able to work throughout her treatment due to the harsh combined side effects of chemotherapy and radiation.<br /><br />Unfortunately, her place of employment does not provide disability coverage and her income is dependent on the shifts she works each day. Even though she has insurance, many of her medical expenses will not be covered. As we all know, cancer treatment is very expensive. We do not want worries about money to be at the forefront of her mind: her focus should be on staying strong through treatment. <br /><br />For those of you who know Vickie, you know that she is an extraordinary human being. She is cheerful, loving, compassionate and remarkably strong. She always puts her family and friends before herself. She is one of the strongest, most selfless people we know, and we are fortunate to call her our mom and our rock. She is always there to give her love and support to the people around her.

Cancer-A real pain in the neck!

This is DucknSuck from Miami H3.  Last week our friend Wimp was involved in a major car accident on I-95, that destroyed his car and could have killed him.  Thankfully, he survived, but he suffered several injuries.  Wimp has been down on his luck lately and while looking for a job has been living off savings.  His medical bills are not trivial and so I'm here to ask you if you could please donate a few bucks to help towards his out-of-pocket costs.  Every dollar will help, so please consider helping out if you can.  <br /> The accident happened around 9pm on Friday night.  Wimp was returning from dinner when an A-hole in a suburban SUV pulled in front of him and slammed on his breaks.  Wimp swerved, hit the median and flipped the car on its side before coming to rest in the middle of the road.  The car was destroyed (see pics) and wimp suffered compression injuries to his back and minor head injuries (including what appears to be a major graze on his head from hitting the asphalt!!).  Please donate a couple bucks to help cover some medical expenses and share this campaign among the hashing family.  Thanks and On-On!<br /> DnS
