<div>My name is Stephanie Byron, and I am creating this fundraiser for my husband, Jeremiah.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Earlier this year, Jeremiah noticed a swollen lymph node beneath his right arm. At first, we hoped it was something minor, but given Jeremiah's history as a pediatric cancer survivor, we knew it was important to take it seriously.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After meeting with his doctor and undergoing testing, the initial blood work showed no signs of cancer. While that brought some relief, the lymph node continued to cause concern. Over the following weeks, the situation worsened significantly.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Shortly after returning from a trip to Tennessee, Jeremiah's condition took a turn for the worse. Doctors determined that surgery was necessary to remove the lymph node. He underwent surgery and is currently recovering from an open surgical wound that requires daily packing and ongoing medical care while the tissue heals.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We were hopeful the surgery would provide answers and peace of mind. Instead, the pathology results brought difficult news.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The lymph node tested positive for cancer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jeremiah has been diagnosed with Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are now entering a new season filled with oncology appointments, additional testing, treatment planning, and many unknowns. While we are grateful to finally have answers, we know there is a challenging road ahead.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jeremiah is self-employed and provides for our family through his <a href="https://www.bigfootsocietypodcast.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">podcasting</a>  and media work. As we begin navigating cancer treatment, we anticipate significant financial strain from medical bills, travel to specialists, prescription costs, and potential lost income during treatment and recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Asking for help is not easy for our family. However, many friends have already asked how they can support us, and this fundraiser is one practical way to do so.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The goal of this fundraiser is to raise funds to help offset:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Medical expenses and treatment costs
</div>
<div>• Travel expenses for specialist appointments
</div>
<div>• Prescription medications
</div>
<div>• Lost income during treatment and recovery
</div>
<div>• Other unexpected expenses that arise throughout Jeremiah's cancer journey
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Most importantly, we ask for your prayers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The coming months will bring many appointments, decisions, and challenges, but we are grateful that we do not have to face them alone. Your support—whether through prayer, sharing this fundraiser, or making a donation—means more to our family than words can express.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Through all of this, we are placing our trust in God. While we do not yet know exactly what the future holds, we know that He walks with us through every step of it. We are praying for wisdom for Jeremiah's medical team, strength for our family, successful treatment, and peace in the midst of uncertainty.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for standing with us during this difficult season.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div>Stephanie Byron and Family
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

Help Jeremiah Through His Cancer Journey

<p>Hi, my name is Jaymee. I'm 34 years old and I would like to share my story with you. I have an 11 year old and 2 year old daughters. Right after my youngest daughter's first birthday I was diagnosed with stage 3 squamous carcinoma. I fought valiantly for my life with 30 rounds of external radiation, 5 rounds of internal radiation and 6 rounds of cisplatin, a platinum based chemotherapy. Before I could get my remission pet scan I was laid off from work because the doctor put me under quarantine for covid due to my weakened immune system. The state refused to cover me so I could get needed medical care. I didn't know what I was going to do........so I started collecting unemployment because I didn't have any disability insurance. I was living with family and needed a place to live so I saved up money to buy a trailer house from another family member. Moved in successfully to this oasis in the middle of the country surrounded by fields. I was still recovering from my treatments........and felt like a failure as a mother because I could barely take care of myself and youngest daughter physically. But I pushed myself, more and more, everyday. Still not being able to achieve the physical strength and endurance needed to simply mow our yard for 2 1/2 hours without being down for 2-3 days because it hurt so much, and I was popping ibuprofen like tic tacs. 
</p>
<p><br />
</p>
<p>The day after fathers day last year James messaged me for the first time. We had worked several years together on 3rd shift in a warehouse so we knew each other and the friendship had already been established. A month of talking and James professed his undying love and proposed to me in the same night. We spent a weekend in Colorado on an amazing vacation neither of us had been able to afford to do for more than 6 years. Two months later James's grandmother asked us if we had thought about getting married and we told her yes. Grandma got up and left the room and came back with $200 and said, I'm taking the baby, you go get married. We left that night and drove to Colorado again......on October 7th, 2020 I became Mrs. Jaymee Hansen! James moved from Tulsa to be with us. He found a job and we waited for insurance to kick in so I could get that pet scan........................
</p>
<p><br />
</p>
<p>I got a phonecall from my internal medicine doctor that completely devastated me.........the cancer spread to my lymph nodes surrounding my left kidney and is officially stage 4......the average life expectancy for my diagnosis is 8-13 months...........I started chemo that next Wednesday........highest doses possible of Carboplatin, Avastin, and Taxol......it didn't feel like the first time I went through chemo though, this new beast is on a level I can't express in words...My husband held my hand through treatment and promised to never let me go through it alone again......my vein blew from the i.v., one of my molars busted on an eggroll.....I knew from that first treatment it would be the fight of my life.....Got that molar pulled the Wednesday before last, port a cath placed the next day and chemo again last Wednesday. Its been taking about 4 days to recover from treatments. Making my leave time from work a week at a time.
</p>
<p><br />
</p>
<p> A few weeks ago I asked the biological father of my youngest daughter if he'd sign his rights away so my husband could adopt Morgan. He jumped at the opportunity to never have to pay child support again and agreed to the adoption. The lawyer got his paperwork Monday and confirmed he indeed did sign and fill out all the papers exactly as it should be. Soon James will become Morgan's forever Daddy and I couldn't be happier.
</p>
<p><br />
</p>
<p> I know that when I leave my daughters behind they'll be cared for, protected, and guided by people who actually love them. My husband and ex-husband have agreed to make sure that my girls will always know and spend time with their sister.
</p>
<p><br />
</p>
<p> Now, before long I'll be getting ureter stents placed and then the chemo will continue to compound effects and I won't be able to work.....but I'm the person who pays the bills. My husband provides insurance through his work but only brings home on average $125 a week after insurance and child support for his 3 daughters. We've been spending a minimum of $75 a week on prescriptions I need. But we need help. Anything that anyone can spare to help me pay the bills while I'm still here would be greatly appreciated and I would forever be indebted. I know that alot of others are going through hard times as well and completely understand if giving isn't an option. But if you could share my story, maybe it might reach someone who can help.

Help Jaymee pay bills during chemo

<div>Internet, meet Noureddine.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Noureddine is a 59-year-old cab driver who has spent years working hard behind the wheel, helping people get where they need to go while supporting himself and his
</div>
<div>family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recently, during celebrations following a New York Knicks finals win, Noureddine’s life was turned upside down. His cab was vandalized, and he was reportedly assaulted and dragged from his vehicle by a crowd. In a matter of moments, the vehicle he was driving was severely damaged, leaving him facing an incredibly difficult situation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This championship is a historic moment for New York and Knicks fans everywhere. It's been special to see New York come together to celebrate this title. I know the vast majority of fans have celebrated with pride, passion, and respect. My goal in sharing this fundraiser is to ask for help getting Noureddine back on his feet and back to work.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My friend, French Montana, sent me Noureddine Bitat's story and we partnered with Noureddine's union, the New York Taxi Workers Alliance to help restore his business and change his life!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Internet, let’s come together to help Noureddine, donate and share.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Be kind and love always ❤️

Let’s Change Noureddine’s Life ❤️

<div>**THIS FUNDRAISER HAS CONCLUDED. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While cleaning up an abandoned, overgrown property, my friend and I found a dog that someone had bagged up and dumped in the driveway. I've been mowing overgrown lawns for five years and I've never had anything like that happen. Animal control came out, checked him for a microchip, and took really good care of him. But I couldn't stop thinking about how that dog should have never been in that situation in the first place.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So I called Christy at Wichita Animal Action League, a 501(c)(3) I've worked closely with over the past couple of years. They're the people doing the work that prevents things exactly like this from happening.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here's what WAAL does in our community:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Free pet food handouts every other week — around 250,000 pounds a year to Wichita families
</div>
<div>Mobile vet clinics in neighborhoods with the least access to care, partnering with veterinarians including K-State's veterinary school
</div>
<div>Vaccines, medical care, and supplies for owners who are doing their best but hit a rough patch
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What stood out to me most is that they don't just help the animal. They help the family. Christy told me they pride themselves on non-judgmental service, meeting people where they're at, so nobody has to feel afraid to ask for help. When a paycheck doesn't stretch far enough or an unexpected bill shows up, that's exactly when a pet is most at risk of being surrendered, neglected, or worse. WAAL steps in before it gets to that point.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every dollar raised here goes directly to Wichita Animal Action League so they can put more food, more vaccines, and more veterinary care into the neighborhoods that need it most.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To get things started, I'm personally donating the first $1,000, and the board of my nonprofit, SB Mow It Forward, voted to match the first $5,000 donated by all of you.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even five or ten dollars goes a long way here. If you can give, thank you. If you can't, sharing this helps just as much.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you all for watching, and thank you for caring about this one.
</div>
<div><br />

Support Wichita Animal Action League — Help Us Prevent This

<div>Hello, my name is Daniel Hamilton, and for the past year and a half, I’ve watched my dear friend Josh Smith fight a heartbreaking and exhausting battle to save his wife Stacey’s life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What began as a mysterious decline in Stacey’s health has become a living nightmare — severe mold toxicity, a relentless, invisible threat that has upended their world. This isn’t about simply changing apartments or throwing away furniture. This is about life and death.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Josh and Stacey have moved more than a dozen times across multiple states, often leaving everything behind because mold spores can cling to even the smallest item. Each time, they’ve started over from scratch with nothing but their love, their faith, and the determination to stay ahead of the illness that threatens to take Stacey’s life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“When you go through deep waters, I will be with you.” — Isaiah 43:2
</div>
<div>“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Josh and I have had very personal conversations — the kind you never forget. I’ve heard his voice crack. I’ve listened as he’s broken down in tears, terrified that he’s going to lose his wife. This is a strong man — a hardworking, faithful, loyal husband — but this disease has brought him to his knees.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And still, Josh and Stacey push forward, held together by an unbreakable bond and their unwavering belief that God is walking with them through this fire.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>️ The Latest Devastation
</div>
<div>Recently, after moving into a new apartment they hoped would be their fresh start, Stacey began showing familiar and terrifying symptoms. They brought in a mold-detecting K9, and the dog immediately alerted to multiple areas. They were moved across the hall—only to discover mold there too.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While traveling to see her doctor, two devastating messages came through:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Her bloodwork showed mold levels that were nearly off the charts. The doctor’s response was clear and urgent:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“GET HER OUT OF THERE IMMEDIATELY.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A trusted inspector found mold had spread beneath the flooring and contaminated the entire subfloor in their unit.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Stacey was told she can never go back.
</div>
<div>A picture has been attached to show what they were living with for 3 months.  This is only a small part of what was discovered in their apartment. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Once again, they had to abandon everything—clothing, furniture, cookware, mattresses—because the risk to her health is simply too high.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, with savings nearly gone and resources depleted, Josh must relocate them again. Not for comfort. Not for luxury. To keep his wife alive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What Is Mold Toxicity?
</div>
<div>Mold toxicity—also known as Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS)—is a devastating illness that attacks every part of the body. It’s misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and often dismissed — yet it destroys lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here’s what Stacey has been fighting:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Common Symptoms of Mold Toxicity
</div>
<div>(Especially in those with genetic susceptibility)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Neurological / Cognitive,
</div>
<div>Brain fog, Memory loss, Headaches/migraines, Depression or anxiety, Mood swings, Insomnia, Vision issues
</div>
<div>Respiratory,
</div>
<div>Sinus infections, Wheezing or coughing, Shortness of breath, Post-nasal drip
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Immune / Inflammatory
</div>
<div>Chronic fatigue, Joint and muscle pain, Rashes, hives, Low-grade fevers, Sensitivity to chemicals
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gastrointestinal;
</div>
<div>Nausea, Bloating, Diarrhea or constipation, Appetite loss
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hormonal Disruption
</div>
<div>Thyroid issues, Adrenal fatigue, Irregular periods, Low libido
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cardiovascular
</div>
<div>Irregular heartbeat, Chest tightness, Dizziness or fainting
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cognitive &amp; Emotional Toll
</div>
<div>Mold toxins inflame the brain and nervous system, leading to:
</div>
<div>Personality shifts, Panic attacks, Disassociation (“not feeling like yourself”), Emotional instability
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mold illness is not just in the head — it attacks the brain, lungs, gut, immune system, and heart.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why Stacey Is So Vulnerable
</div>
<div>Roughly 25% of people carry a gene (HLA-DR) that prevents the body from detoxing mold. Stacey is one of them. Even microscopic exposure can spiral into a full-blown health crisis.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Risks of Staying Exposed
</div>
<div>If not removed from toxic environments, mold illness can lead to:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Autoimmune disease, Permanent brain or lung damage, Chronic fatigue syndrome, Fibromyalgia, And in severe cases, death
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And yet — through every painful step — Josh and Stacey remain rooted in faith and in each other.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair.” — 2 Corinthians 4:8
</div>
<div>“Faith is not believing that God can… it is knowing that He will.” — Ben Stein
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How You Can Help
</div>
<div>This GoFundMe is set up to help cover:
</div>
<div>Emergency relocation to a safe environment
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Medical travel and testing
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>New clothes and basic essentials
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Follow-up care and detox protocols
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They’ve lost everything more times than anyone should. But they haven’t lost their hope.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please stand with them now — whether by donating, sharing, or lifting them in prayer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let’s help them breathe again. Let’s help them rebuild — again.
</div>
<div>Let’s make sure they don’t have to walk this road alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With all my heart,
</div>

Help Save Stacey: Mold Toxicity Crisis

<div>FENDY NEEDS YOUR HELP!!!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm Gaz and I'm raising funds for my dog Fendy, who needs a clear diagnosis and treatment...
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>FENDY'S BACKGROUND:
</div>
<div>She hasn't had the best start in life, being a breeding dog and living in a shed for the first 5-6yrs of her life. I've had her for around 4yrs now so she is around 10yrs old. She has allergies, but after multiple tests and years of food changes we finally have a handle on that. So she's only just started having a comfortable life!
</div>
<div>We go on daily walks and weekly hikes and wild camping trips in the English countryside, (see YouTube channel Grizzly Gaz to see her enjoying life). Who would have thought that a French Bulldog would be the perfect hiking buddy. We've camped on some of the UK's highest mountains, bleakest moorlands and creepiest woodlands...
</div>
<div>And she absolutely loves it!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>THE PROBLEM AND WHY WE NEED HELP:
</div>
<div>Around April of 2024 she started dragging her nails (hind legs) on the floor. I initially thought she had maybe just pulled a muscle from all the walking we do or jumping off the bed etc so we rested for a few months with no improvement.
</div>
<div>So I took her to the vet who diagnosed her with Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) which is a progressive, inherited, INCURABLE neurological disease in dogs that affects the spinal cord, causing gradual weakness and loss of coordination, eventually ending with paralysis in all four limbs. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>SHE WAS GIVEN 6-12 MONTHS TO LIVE!!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It's been over 12 months and she still has function of all her legs but her hind legs have gotten weaker, to the point where she cannot go on the hikes she loves so much anymore and needs aids to help her onto the sofa and bed. But she can still walk and she still has lots of fight left in her. She's only just started living!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So I took her back to the vet plus 2 other vets to get different opinions. They all said the same... Degenerative Myelopathy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I refused to believe this because she should be FULLY paralysed by now (according to the same vets) but the only thing that can diagnose DM is a CAT scan which costs £5500!!! So the vet says.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm asking for help towards any sort of diagnosis and treatment thereafter.
</div>
<div>If 5500 people donate £1, that will get her the scan and hopefully a diagnosis, if it is actually DM.
</div>
<div>If it isn't DM and she has some other problem then any money raised will go towards that diagnosis and treatment. The road feels uncertain at this point and I've ran out of funds I earn from working.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Setting this GoFundMe up hasn't been an easy decision as it feels like begging but I'm at a loss of what to do. Lots of people have told me to set it up and do whatever it takes to get Fendy the help she needs and I think it's the right decision...
</div>
<div>I'll be so grateful for any contribution, even if it's only £1, it's a start.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you want to see Fendy living her best life you can check her out on YouTube, there's 4yrs of content on there. Hopefully she has at least another 4yrs on there!
</div>
