<div>On February 12th, 2025, my sweet baby boy Oliver passed away from cancer. It all happened so fast and despite being such a little dog, the void he left behind has been unbearable.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But he also left behind so much love. I'm so lucky that I actually met my soul dog in my life time. He was by my side for 13 years through some of my best and worst moments. We accomplished so much together and I always had his smiling little face as my support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He was bred to be a showdog before he was given away due to being too big for Pomeranian showdog standards. Standard is like 7 lbs and he was 13 lbs lol. I adopted him at 10 months old and little did he know how much more famous he'd become than if he actually were a showdog. The love my Twitch community had for him warmed my heart every day. The jokes, the fan art, the curiosity for his well being... I know you all loved him, too.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I want to honor his memory by raising funds that I will split three ways to three of the best local animal shelters in my area. I will be submitting under his name with his picture.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He will never be forgotten and we can pass on our love for Oliver by helping other animals in need.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any amount is appreciated but anything over $20 USD will get your name on a heart that will go in a frame to be immortalized forever.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm submitting this for his birthday which is September 11, so the fundraiser will be open on the 12th and then I will donate to the shelters shortly after!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>UPDATE : I'm extending this for another week so September 19th.  The reason being is because i really wanted to talk about this on stream much earlier, but I could never be strong enough. I've decided to talk about it on stream at the time of typing this update. Thank you for your support and patience with me.

In Memory of Oliver: Help Local Animal Shelters

<div>***UPDATE***
</div>
<div>Thank you all for the overwhelming support of Pete and his family.  I have increased the goal because of some recent changes.  Pete is planning on heading to the three-week treatment facility on Friday, July 25th. However, the facility informed him last week that because he  is considered a fall risk, he must have someone stay with him for the duration of his treatment.  Unfortunately, this increases the cost of the treatment facility by around $6000. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you again for your generous support and please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m reaching out today with a heavy heart to share the story of our brother, <strong>Pete Malizia (‘90)</strong>, who is bravely battling a devastating disease — Multiple System Atrophy (MSA).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>MSA is a rare, aggressive neurological disorder that affects the body’s autonomic functions — things like blood pressure, movement, and balance. There is no cure, and unfortunately, traditional medications are no longer as helpful to Pete as they were. The disease is progressing quickly.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Pete, his wife Morgan, and their 13-year-old daughter are now turning to holistic and integrative treatments that offer hope and relief — but these therapies come at a significant cost and are not covered by insurance.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’ve started a GoFundMe campaign to help ease the <strong>$22,000 financial burden</strong> and give Pete access to care that could improve his quality of life. <strong>If Pete was part of your SPEOK time at BG, please consider giving what you can — and sharing this with others who may want to help.</strong>
</div>

Help a Brother in Need

<div>On May 10th, 2025, Paige received a call no mother should have to. <strong>Averix had been involved in a lawn mower accident.</strong> She didn't know the extent of his injuries, just rallied quickly to get where she needed to be. The first call came in that they were taking him by ambulance to the hospital, then the second call came through that they were life-flighting him. They were able to land the medflight behind our local Kroger's; that's where the ball started rolling and FAST. He was then taken to Nationwide Hospital. The first 12 hours were all about making sure he was able to keep his left foot. His first surgery was bedside, in the trauma bay, as they draped it into an OR. Scary, right?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On May 12th, 2025, he was taken for his second surgery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On May 14th, 2025, he was released because there was actually nothing more they could do with him until they all put their heads together and came up with a plan.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Well, his injury turned out to be way worse than the first look. They sent us home with a wheelchair, wound vac, and that is now our 24-hour around-the-clock care he requires. We are looking at close to over a year-long road, not to mention physical therapy. They are also scratching their heads about why his foot is growing back the way it is. So once the cosmetic part is taken care of, who knows what surgeries he will have to keep his leg working as it once did. Paige has been by his side through it all, day in and day out, not being able to work. Now, here we are doing weekly surgical procedures, right? I know what most might say: it's just a wound vac change. WRONG. He gets an internal bandage placed over just the bone that is exposed to keep it good and strong, so it's not rotting. He has about 20 staples removed and put back in every week. As of June 18th, he has had 8 surgeries! 8 breathing tubes, 8 recoveries in not even a month's time. While his amazing plastic surgery team keeps his wound clean, it looks worse and worse. Right now, he has absolutely no heel. The bone is completely exposed. They are looking at a timeline of mid-July to early August for the beginning stages of reconstruction. He will need multiple surgeries, skin grafts, and a tissue transplant. After all this is said and done, the doctor is confident he will have a 75% (yes, the odds keep dropping) normal gait, but will have to wear an orthotic in his shoe forever, and will need this surgery and graft replaced every 6 years due to it wearing down. She has seen multiple injuries like this, just not as bad. He has completely severed his Achilles tendon, ruptured and exposed plantar fascia, and completely exposed calcaneus (heel bone) and subtalar joint. So better imagine his foot looks like the palm of a hand with no arch.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He is currently dealing with something called mirror syndrome like an amputee and cries in pain all night long, all while mirroring his injury on his good limb. As of June 13th, 2025, we have the pain team finally on board. I also know what my grandson deserves, and that's an army that's behind him. I know he is strong and will fight the greater fight, but Paige needs to be there with him, and she can't be without a little help, while also worrying about her other two children.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So, with that being said, thank you for listening.
</div>
<div><strong>This is to keep my grandson's wheels running the roads back and forth, but mostly whatever he may need in between.</strong> ❤️‍
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thanks for listening.
</div>
<div>Keep On, Keeping On ❤️‍

Help Averix Heal After Severe Injury

<img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/51321504_1600481547726162_r.jpeg" alt="51321504_1600481547726162_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" />We’re raising money for our son Theodore who needs a helmet to help reshape his head. He was evaluated at children’s hospital by a specialist, who said Theodore needs one. His head is flat on the left side. Insurance looks at helmets like they’re cosmetic even though it could effect his hearing and eyesight when he’s older. Cody and I are not ones to ask for donations but this is very time sensitive and we fear by the time we save up it may be to late to help reshape his head. He has about 6 months before it really won’t help him anymore and doctors normally will not prescribe a helmet.  This is our only shot at really helping his head form correctly to where it will not cause damage. Theodores left ear is farther forward on the left side and it’s lower than the right side.  Any donation will help tremendously. We appreciate all of your love, support, and help through this time of need.

Theo’s Helmet

<div>I lost over 380 lbs! Yes, pounds! (Or 170 kg!) But now I am heavily burdened with revision costs after having corrective surgeries that didn't go as planned. Nothing was covered by insurance it was considered cosmetic.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>An hour-long ambulance ride as well as emergency surgery due to a hematoma was thankfully covered. (A bulb got clotted and backed up inside me.)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Amanda, and I am 36 years old.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am now slightly botched. Not on purpose, but in medical unforeseen circumstances that caused my skin to be extra elastic. Yes, it's the SAME surgeon. I trust his best interest and mine.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I don't know how else to word this and I need extra funds to support the following repairs (currently minus the legs as I could have that done under insurance, but no word back yet):
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Remove widened scars from leaking fluid out of my thighs, remove leftover skin that was used as flaps to secure my other tissues in place, and remove leftover surgery mishaps/unforeseen circumstances that caused excess skin to drape over my knees. I now have what looks like a mass above both of my knees. Fix the one arm that healed abnormally compared to the other. Fix my upper torso that now has what looks like two extra breasts under my breasts due to skin/tissue elasticity. The extra bulk of stretched skin on one side due to bleeding in my torso for 10 hours. (Emergency room and emergency surgery.) This caused stretching of the skin on my right side and it is lopsided because of healing and having to allow for swelling. During that time I was unable to wear a binder. I also have many wide scars due to all this that are WEAK and indented in some areas and require repair. (Basically bringing the skin closer together.) A lot of them hurt if touched or pushed on.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>In 2013 I weighed 635 lbs. I started keto and I was losing weight. Throughout the journey, I was able to finally lose weight with little to no issue.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I hit my first goal weight of 225 lbs in 2016! - Sustained and started my corrective surgeries in 2020. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here's the thing...
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I grew extremely mentally alone. Honestly, sad about what I became.. and my entire self is now something else over the years. Now I am this. And I'm quite disappointed. I had to tell myself to stop being devastated many times. I did this for quality of life, not to get enhanced physically. None of this is glamour.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I would love to see myself go further. After multiple surgeries already I know I can get there, but I don't have the funds.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>I need help paying for my surgical revisions. It's an hour away from me and I believe this doctor will satisfy my surgical body needs. He has done my previous surgeries and I don't feel I can trust another with the rest of the work. The cost is terrifying.. the anxiety that my grandparents want to give me the world by thinking of putting a loan on the house. I can't even begin to accept that. I'm not.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>I'm a nonworking disabled woman and I would eventually love to change that too! I am pretty level-headed and logical. I still try to inspire others, create daily, and give when I can.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>I hope this finds you in some lovely light thank you for reading, regardless of the future. Keep being a good soul. You are still a human, just like everyone and myself. If this spoke to you somehow, please don't hesitate to ask me questions. Contact me. I am genuinely trying to find help in progressing my quality of life.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>I want to reassure you I am trying to figure out life and become comfortable in my skin while inspiring and helping others. It's hard to be selfless and ask for something. I always feel paying it forward is the way to go. I just want to push my limit in life to make sure I can give back the best I can.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>I would also like to regain my mental health due to all this misaligned fortune. I've been working on this.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>The cost is a bit over the fund amount. According to my surgeon, it will all be a "one-and-done" revision of multiple areas (full thighs, full calves, upper body, upper arms and above the knees), and it SHOULD be my final surgery. He has even gone the extra step and reduced some of the costs to support the unforeseen circumstances in which my body had reacted the way it has.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>Kind regards,
</div>
<div>Amanda (Aka Goat)

<div>Hi, my name is Akilah Oates. I am creating this go fund me to provide to people I know and love who may be willing to donate to my cosmetic dental work. As you all may know, I have been insecure about my smile for a long time. Braces never really worked for me, therefore I am looking to get a new smile which includes veneers/bridge/implants, etc. Any donation helps, as I need to travel outside the country to undergo this 2-day procedure. I know times are hard for everyone as we come out of the pandemic, so I would greatly appreciate any help you are willing to give. I have wanted to start my vlogging youtube channel for a whole, and a new smile would give me the boost of confidence I need to start!
