 Help Me Build Ro &amp; Behold Beauty
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Hey yall! My name is Ro, and I’m a licensed nail technician, cosmetology student, entrepreneur, and mama to an amazing 3-year-old.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Over the last year, I’ve been working toward building a career that allows me to support my daughter while creating something of my own. I recently launched my nail business, Ro &amp; Behold Beauty, in Minneapolis, where I’m currently working to build a consistent clientele and grow my business into a sustainable source of income for my family.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I’m incredibly proud of how far I’ve come — but I’m also in that very real beginning stage of entrepreneurship where the business exists before the consistent income does.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 As I transition out of my current internship, my nail business will become my primary source of earned income. I’m continuing to take on gig work when needed while building my books, but I’m asking my community for some support in creating a financial runway over the next several months so I can continue growing my business without falling further behind financially.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 My goal of $10,000 would help cover about six months of basic household expenses for my daughter and me while also helping with the costs of establishing and growing my nail business.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Funds raised will help with things like:
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 -Rent, utilities and other essential household bills
</div>
<div>
 -Transportation and gas
</div>
<div>
 -Diapers, household necessities and everyday expenses
</div>
<div>
 -Nail supplies and equipment
</div>
<div>
 -Booth rent
</div>
<div>
 -Marketing and client acquisition
</div>
<div>
 -Catching up on essential bills that have fallen behind during this transition
</div>
<div>
 -Creating enough stability for me to focus on building a consistent clientele
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 My goal isn’t simply to make it through the next few months. I’m working toward creating a business and career that can sustainably support my family long-term.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 If you’re able to donate, whether it’s $5 or $100, I genuinely appreciate it. And if donating isn’t possible, sharing this fundraiser or sharing my nail business with someone looking for a nail tech helps too.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Thank you for believing in me, supporting my daughter and me, and helping me build Ro &amp; Behold Beauty into what I know it can become. Much love
</div>

Creating Stability for Ro & Her Daughter's Future

<div>Jeremy was recently involved in a serious motorcycle accident and is currently in the hospital. The extent of his injuries, especially a head injury, means that his recovery time is uncertain. As the primary provider for his family, his absence has created a significant financial strain. His partner, Kylee, and their children are doing their best to stay strong, but the uncertainty of the coming months is overwhelming. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> Throughout his life, Jeremy has been a pillar of support in his community, always ready to lend a hand through his business and personal connections. Now, as he faces a long road to recovery, Kylee and the children are in need of the same kindness and generosity he has shown to others. The funds raised will go directly toward household expenses, daily needs, and any medical bills that arise during this challenging time. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> Any support, no matter the amount, would mean the world to Kylee, the children, and Jeremy. Your donation will help them focus on healing and staying together, rather than worrying about bills and basic necessities. The family is deeply grateful for your compassion and support during this difficult chapter.
</div>

Support for Jeremy, Kylee & the Kids After Accident

<div>My name is Osh and I am a mom, an aunt, and a teacher. I am trying to help my nephews who have recently lost their mother, my younger sister.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>The four sons she leaves behind are between the ages of 8 and 23.</strong> They are all born and raised in Minneapolis.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>They are hoping to raise enough to bury their mom close to home so they may visit her burial site often.</strong> They would also like to send their mom off in a way she had previously expressed.

<div>Many of you know how deeply Rhoda has touched our lives with her generosity, kindness, and unwavering support. Now, it is our turn to show up for her!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Rhoda is facing one of the biggest fights known to date: CANCER. Expenses will be overwhelming with deductibles, medical bills, chemotherapy and missed work.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are working together to raise $25,000 to cover her treatment, expenses and missed wages. Any amount you can give — whether it’s $10, $100, or more — will make a real difference in easing this burden for our angel Rhoda and allowing her to focus on healing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’re not able to donate, you can still help. By sharing this fundraiser with your friends, family, and networks we can graciously give back to Rhoda!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with Rhoda. Your support means the world.
</div>

Support Rhoda in her Healing

Abdi is a cherished friend, family member, and pillar of his community. For over a decade, he has been married to his wife, Rhoda, an American citizen, and together they have built a life rooted in love and service. Abdi has dedicated himself to helping others, volunteering at a shelter for unhoused individuals and at a treatment center. As a devoted and sober member of the recovery community, he has mentored countless individuals struggling with addiction, offering hope and guidance to those in need. His kindness, generosity, and unwavering support have touched the lives of many, making him a beloved figure in his community. 
<br />
<br />
 Recently, Abdi was detained by ICE, a situation that has brought immense hardship to his family and all who care about him. Despite his deep ties to the community and his marriage to Rhoda, he now faces an uncertain future. The  process ahead is daunting and costly; requiring Rhoda to take time off work and navigate the process with her already impacted income.  Funds raised through this campaign will go directly towards resources to help Abdi and his family fight for his freedom to reunite with all those who he loves and who love him.<br />
<br />
 Whether you know Abdi personally or are moved by his story, your support can make a real difference. Abdi was first detained in 2019 during the last administration, and his community rallied to share his story of hope and resilience. Now, more than ever, we need your help to show the world once again that Abdi is an incredible human being who deserves to live freely, with dignity and grace. Please consider contributing and sharing this fundraiser to help bring Abdi home.

Help Bring Abdi Home

<p>Hi, my Lil sober car died on I-5 South today. 
</p><br />
<p>I got a ride home and called around for a reasonable tow company. When I found one and was headed to meet him at my car, it was GONE! 
</p><br />
<p>The city had it towed. <b>I love my Lil car </b>. I use it to get to meetings, get to my various service commitments, get groceries, and more recently, go get my 7-month-old great-granddaughter however, I have a modest income and I live with chronic pain. 
</p>
<p>I'm asking for help because I'm so afraid of losing my independence. 
</p><br />
<p>The funds will go to paying the city $300 (done) and then have it towed to a mechanic for another $185 ( pending), then have my car get a new clutch for up to $1,600. 
</p><br />
<p><b>I am humbly asking for help.</b>
</p><br />
<p>Thank you ♥

At the age of five-years-old Aranda realized she was meant to be a woman, but did not yet have the vocabulary to express this sentiment as she was born into a male body. The first time she openly explained her feelings, she ended up retracting it, saying it was a joke, because her family treated it like one. This, unfortunately, was not the last time this happened. She resigned to living life as a gay male, because she thought that was her only option.<br /><br />For most people, the word “transgender” is a bit of a mystery. From our understanding, as Aranda’s close friends, being transgender simply means the role you are meant to play in this world is not the one you were originally ascribed at birth. Aranda was meant to be the woman she is today, not anyone else.<br /><br />Aranda has gone through lots of ups and downs to get to where she is today. As we write this, Aranda has been sober for almost four years. Her mental health has suffered as a result of her struggle with her gender: she’s struggled with depression, anxiety, gender dysphoria, and chemical dependency. When she was 20, Aranda realized her life was not headed in the direction she wanted it to, so she made the brave decision to get sober and hasn’t looked back since. At the same time, she began her transition.<br /><br />Medically transitioning is an incredibly expensive and strenuous process. At first, Aranda pursued surgery payment through insurance, with little luck. She hit a point at which she decided to take matters into her own hands. She’s worked countless jobs, often multiple at the same time, to afford facial feminization and breast augmentation surgeries. She’s done all this while being a full-time college student at Minneapolis College, but is soon transferring to the University of Minnesota, a much more intensive school. We see firsthand how hard Aranda works both at school and at her jobs; it’s incredibly taxing on her mental and physical health as well as her sobriety to be under this much strain. Aranda wishes she could pay for this last gender-confirming surgery, but the price is an overwhelming amount, and she needs your help to get there.<br /><br />A vaginoplasty is a final step in Aranda’s surgical transition. We know this last procedure will affect her entire outlook on life, allowing her to move forward as the woman she knows she is. Aranda has come so far already, and we want to help her get to the last step.<br /><br /><br />We have so much gratitude for anyone who’s read this far. A donation of any size or a share would be immensely appreciated. <br /><br /><br />With Love,<br /><br /><br />Logan, Isabel, and Maria

Aranda's Gender Confirmation Surgery

He was brutally murdered given no rights that we are often promised we are given in this god forsaken country. He was a family man, loved by his folks and his friends. Only god knows the pain everyone is feeling today. Please donate and share, let’s do the little we can and try to lift what even may be the most minuscule of burdens for his family right now after losing their beloved son  and just take care of the funeral costs and help support them. Most importantly let’s pray for his family. Thank you and God bless you all.

Funeral costs &support for the family of Dolal Idd

<p>Let me preface this by saying that in the back of my mind I knew that if I ever started a fundraiser for one business, it would be Caffetto, my favorite coffeeshop on Earth. Only I thought that should this ever actually happen, it would be due to a new Starbucks being installed into one of those nearby condo buildings, an accidentally expired lease, or something less dire than a virus.<br /><br />What a crazy uncertain time we're experiencing now. It seems we all have to say goodbye to our old way of living just out of nowhere. I find myself feeling especially strong feelings of love to all the people in my life that i wonder if i took for granted, and to the parts of my old way of living that meant a lot to me. One of those parts of my life I am referring to is the loveliest coffeeshop I've ever been to. I call it The Happiest Place on Earth™. I have spent a New Year's Eve sobbing to Brent at the counter right at midnight about how my life was going all wrong, as though he were some sort of bartender. Another time, I walked in Caffetto to see two of my very best friends giddy because they had JUST got engaged. I spent every other night here in college "studying" for classes with my best friend Maria, only to just end up talking the whole time while Kenny played Tom Waits in the background. Weddings have happened here. A cat (memorialized in a painting on the wall) "lived" here. If I need a hug, I know I can always count on seeing David with his Sharpies and coat of signatures.<br /><br />I know I am not the only one who considers Caffetto a Minneapolis landmark that would be a huge loss should it go under. I understand we are about to lose a lot of businesses, and I know that once society returns back to normal, we all want to have some semblance of the life we knew before. I wanted to make this fundraiser as a way for others like me who are really concerned about the future of this staple of Minneapolis. A place oozing with character and with characters. <br /><br />Brent, the owner, is my good friend and one of the nicest people I know.The kind of person who buys all his employees a whole pie just because he had stopped at the best pie shop on his way back from a road trip. He was hoping to be able to keep paying his employees to help them through this time. This fundraiser would go to help that as well ensure that the business can stay going. I am very grateful for your consideration to donate. Hope everyone is as well as possible!  &lt;3 <br /><br />At the request of the GoFundMe team, my name is Krista Vosper. I am a longtime frequenter of Caffetto, located nearby where I live in Minneapolis. The owner of Caffetto, Brent Schimnoski, is my sister's boyfriend, and a close personal friend of mine. I do not have any affiliation with Caffetto, other than being a regular customer there. All of the money raised will support the business from financial struggles due to the COVID-19 virus. I asked Brent where the money will go to, and he says to rent and utilities as needed. He is hoping to get some business loans as well, and if so, the remaining amount will be distributed amongst the employees. If he is unable to get loans, then the funds will have to go to covering the basics until he can open Caffetto again. 
</p>

<p>I am extremely grateful for all of you who have shown support thus far, and to GoFundMe for providing a platform to raise that money. I set the goal at $11,111, but please keep donating, as there's no way of knowing how long this small business will be affected. I have also been informed that GoFundMe has partnered with Yelp, Intuit QuickBooks, GoDaddy, and Bill.com to donate grants to many small businesses affected by this virus. Hoping Caffetto gets a piece of this!<br /><br />#SmallBusinessRelief

To everyone who may not yet have heard the news, we are deeply sorry to share that Nicky Berr has unexpectedly passed away on November 13th, 2019.  <br /><br />As you are all aware, Nicky was truly one of a kind. She had quite the sense of humor and a way of telling stories that would put a smile on any face near or far. That New Jersey accent always lent itself well to Nicky's dramatic and humorous personality. She was stubborn and loving which was just the perfect match for her passion- animals.  She and Emily have four of their own dogs, yet always wanted to take care of more.  At one point she had 12 dogs she was caring for and within a day she knew little quirks about each dog's personality and loved them all.  She had quite the soft spot for all furry friends. <br /><br /> As much as she loved animals, that didn't even come close to the love she shared with Emily.  These two beautiful people just celebrated their one year anniversary last month and, together were the best, most fun people to be around. Their love was deep, genuine and inspiring. What has happened is beyond comprehension and we are all still in shock. Understandably, Emily is trying her best to cope and  figure out the logistics of upcoming events and planning a celebration of life, so I am stepping in to organize a way to help with the financial burden that has now been placed on Emily.  Let's come together to support her the best we can financially so that she doesn't have additional stress during an excruciatingly painful time.<br /><br />We have had numerous emails, texts and messages from people asking how to help, so this campaign has been created as a way to keep everyone up-to-date with plans and also offer a place for messages and donations to be left.<br /><br />If you would like to donate, just click on the donate button. If you are not able to donate don’t forget you can still leave messages and comments for Emily to read.<br /><br />If anyone has any questions, you can send me a message by clicking on my name at the top of the page.<br /><br /><br /><strong>Nicky's Celebration of Life</strong><br />Thursday, November 21, 2019  <br />Open house will be held from 6:30 PM - 9:00 PM, with a 7:30 PM service <br />Medina Entertainment Center located at 500 Highway 55, Media, MN.

Jordan Moorhead is an active 30-year old young man who is a real estate agent with Keller Williams Integrity in Roseville, MN, as well as an avid fitness buff/trainer, and in his free time he likes to volunteer helping people suffering from drug and alcohol problems.  In his normal life he stirs up a lot of dust!<br /><br />In search of warmer weather, Jordan had been planning a move to Austin, Texas, where the real estate market is hot and the weather generally warm year-round.  While Jordan was there attending a conference and to check out housing in the area October 26th, another driver turned right across his path on a city street leaving him nowhere to go other than to strike the other driver’s vehicle.  Since Jordan was on a motorcycle, he sustained significant injuries to his brain and a large part of his body. <br /><br />Jordan was brought to a level 1 trauma center at Dell Seton Medical Center in Austin after the accident. The exceptional medical team there discovered breaks within his left ulna, radius and humerus, right ulna and radius, right femur, two places in his jaw, and in the vertebra at the base of his skull.  He also had separation in his pelvis at three locations and other less severe injuries. Jordan is still being cared for at Dell Seton Medical Center and probably will be for some time before transfer to an in-patient rehab center for what’s anticipated to be a long stay.<br /><br />In just a few hours, Jordan’s life changed from that of being a happy, driven, energetic and committed individual who loves so many to a very badly-injured young man who faces a long road back to a normal life and staggering (mounting) medical bills.  Like so many young people in seemingly perfect health, Jordan had not made a decision to purchase health insurance and never needed to see a doctor, much less find himself in a hospital facing months of expensive rehab, until now.<br /><br />Jordan’s expenses are expected to run well into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. He probably won’t be able to work or return back to earning income from his real estate sales business for a number of unknown months.  In other words, he has quickly transitioned from a very productive and self-sufficient existence to one of sincere need of assistance.<br /><br />He is an accomplished and well-loved young man and professional, often leading our market center in sales.  He, unfortunately, has endured substantial injuries in this accident which translate to ever-growing medical bills without health coverage. The greater KW family is being asked to help Jordan right now with some of the MANY medical bills that are already adding up. He is so fortunate and blessed at this stage to be alive and any contributions and prayers you make will help so very much.<br /><br />Thank you for giving whatever you can to help Jordan, as a fellow Realtor, during this tragic life-altering recovery.  Again, any amount you can contribute is greatly appreciated, and your donation will mean so much to him personally, his family, and our broader real estate family during his time of great need.
