<div>Dear Family, Friends, and Community,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As many of you now know, on Saturday (10/18), Danielle brought Laine to the ER with a fever and severe headache — the kind most would compare to the worst headache of someone’s life. About eight hours into the visit, Laine had three seizures. The doctors decided to do a lumbar puncture (spinal tap).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A CT scan showed swelling in her brain, and after more testing (including an MRI), they learned that Laine is battling viral meningitis AND a severe case of encephalitis. On Wednesday night (10/22), her brain pressure spiked. Emergency surgery was performed to save her life. She had a bilateral craniectomy (where a portion of the skull is removed on both sides to relieve pressure on the brain).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Right now Laine is stable, but still in critical condition. She’s heavily sedated so her brain can rest. Her prognosis cannot begin to be determined until the doctors start weaning her off medications.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Through all of this, we have already seen God at work in so many ways. The neurologist said it was a miracle that Danielle brought her in so early — just with a headache and fever (mom intuition ❤️). Another miracle is that the neurosurgeon happened to be at the hospital when Laine's brain pressure spiked to critical levels and got her into surgery within minutes. The ICU doctors have gone above and beyond what would normally be expected, and we are all so grateful.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re believing that God will continue to provide miracle upon miracle until Laine is fully healed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Nippers are overwhelmed with gratitude for the outpouring of love and support from you all. Many have asked what you can do to help during this unimaginable time of heartbreak and devastation. Prayers are first and foremost.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What Laine's road to recovery looks like is still completely unknown. What we do know is that it will be a very long and difficult one. Beyond prayers, any contributions will go towards Laine's recovery and support for the Nipper family. Their two other beautiful children, Graham and Claire, need our support as well.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We will try to keep this updated as much as possible as Laine continues to heal.
</div>

<div>On June 13th, 2026, 10 minutes after celebrating the Knicks championship win, our dog was fatally shot right outside our home. Jameson was 2 years old, and he was taken from us too soon. Anyone who’s met Jameson would tell you he is the sweetest boy in the world. Please help us raise money to get Justice for Jameson and any cremation fees.

Justice for Jameson: Help Us Honor His Memory

I don’t know how to start or where to begin, or how to get through typing this. My name is Katie (Simmons) DeRouen. I am the 2nd of 9 children of Ray and Dawn Simmons. My parents are two of the most caring people to have as parents. They have dedicated and sacrificed so much, and then some, for us. On December 17th, my mom, Dawn, my youngest sisters, Lindy (20) and Kamryn (15), my youngest brother, Christopher (17) and his girlfriend, Marissa (16), traveled to Monroe for Christopher’s basketball game. He plays for Acadiana Christian School and for the first time in their history, they are undefeated On the way home, they were traveling south on interstate 49. A selfish, scum of the earth human, decided to get behind the wheel intoxicated. This person was driving north in the southbound lane on the interstate and plowed head-on into my family’s car. My dad called me as I was at a Christmas party and told me “Mom got in a wreck. It’s not looking good, but she’s stable”. I flew to the hospital, crying along the way, thinking my mom was hurt but absolutely not thinking anything worse. When we arrived to LGMC, my brother, Shea and Dad were frantic as they just learned from facebook that the accident involved two fatalities. I was in complete denial and knew both fatalities had to be in the other car. There is no way that God would take one of my little babies from us. As we learned the other car involved only had one occupant, my mind still convinced me that someone is getting their information twisted and it could not be true. Mom arrived very confused with a bleeding spleen, a punctured lung and two broken ankles. We learned today she also has a lacerated carotid artery that they’re worried about bleeding causing a stroke and broken wrists. Marissa had a broken femur and some abdominal bruising. But they were stable and that gave us some relief to be able to deal with locating my siblings. The state trooper called my dad back to say that the “young blonde that was driving” did not survive as well as the driver of the other car, and that he thinks some of the kids may be at Opelousas General. We all lost it, but I still did not accept this as fact. None of my siblings were at LGMC, where my mom was, and we called every hospital we could think of to locate them. What we didn’t realize was, the hospitals that had taken them in did not know who they were, therefore their names were not showing up. My mother-in-law, husband and I flew to Opelousas and I decided to call again, just incase. The operator informed me that they didn’t have anyone by their names, but they did have “someone from a car accident if I wanted to come and identify them.” I asked what she meant by identify, because certainly she didn’t mean identify a body. I expected to walk in to one of my siblings in the hospital bed, bruised and banged up, but alive. When the nurse met us, he asked me to describe my sister and informed me that the young female there had expired. We eventually were lead to the room where they unzipped my sweet baby sister’s body bag and revealed to me her perfect face. Yes, that’s Kamryn. I immediately called my dad to let him know it wasn’t Lindy, as we had thought. It was the baby, it was our baby, Kamryn. We asked the nurse to please help us locate my other two siblings, since now they are the ones in critical condition that we need to get to as soon as possible. He left and returned in a few minutes to let me know that there was a young gentleman at Bunkie General. I let out a sign of relief as I stated okay, that’s my baby brother, at least he’s ok. Well, I know he’s not ok, but at least he’s alive. Where is my sister? The world stopped turning when he shook his head no. No? My baby brother isn’t alive? There are no words to explain that moment. He then proceeded to tell me the young blonde who was driving was still at the scene because they were unable to extract her from the vehicle. And just like that, we went from one sibling didn’t make it, to all three of them not making it. He informed me that I needed to head to Bunkie General to identify my baby brother so that he could be given a name and able to follow all other procedures after tragedies like this. I drove, what seemed like 97 million hours to Bunkie. I did not feel like I was in control of my body as I walked into the third hospital of the night. When the nurse unlocked the door and I saw his hair, I knew it was him. My sweet, innocent, perfect baby brother who had his entire life ahead of him, was laying there, lifeless. He still had the breathing tube in his mouth. I could see his little teeth resting on it. His nose was purple. I couldn’t stay to see him much longer, but it was him. I have never, in my life, experienced more pain than in that moment. Everyone at the hospital was so kind, but nothing took away the pain that was bruing in my heart. The three babies of the family are gone. My dad lost his three youngest children and is with my mom in ICU. My mom is in ICU without a clue as to what happened. The absolute hardest part of this entire experience, next to losing my siblings, is knowing that my mom will be informed of this whenever she awakens. It is absolutely gut wrenching for me to share this and I am passionately sharing in hopes of raising awareness of how devastating getting behind the wheel intoxicated can be. Our lives our shattered. My parents lived for us. Everything they did in life was for the benefit of their children. We went from our “big family of 9 kids” to 6 kids in the blink of an eye. I don’t know how we will ever move on or recover from this. So as I create this GoFundMe, please know that I am not asking or begging for money. I am simply a hopeless daughter who’s trying to think of anyway that I could make this even .000000001% better for my mom and dad in the very dark days to come. From the very limited information we have received, the driver of the other vehicle appeared to be living out of his vehicle, possibly homeless. I wouldn’t imagine he had great insurance coverage, although my mom did carry insurance. My mom has been a mail carrier and my dad has worked at Cleco for many, many years. A few weeks ago, my dad retired. This means, he no longer receives a lot of benefits that he did as an active employee. With this being said, I don’t know what the financial burden that lies ahead will be. I don’t know any financial/insurance information at this moment, but I do know that my parents will be out of work for a very long time. I don’t know that they’ll ever be able to mentally handle going back to work. I know that my mom and dad would not want me to do this. They have always been extremely independent, but if I can create this and relief ANY tiny bit of financial burden, I will swallow my pride and do so. If you can please, please, send up all of the prayers you can. My parents, my other siblings, my aunt, all of my siblings' friends…….. I am extremely scared of the moment my mom will find out the news. I am heart broken listening to how heart broken my daddy is. I am so worried about losing them too. We are crushed. We are empty. We are devastated. We are in disbelief. We are hurting. We don’t know how we will ever find joy in anything again. PLEASE DON’T DRIVE DRUNK. YOU CAN’T IMAGINE THE IMPACT YOU MAKE ON OTHERS LIVES BY THAT FOOLISH DECISION.

Help my grieving family after absolute tragedy

<p>My name is Jason Garza, I am a friend of the Soviak family. It’s made national news by now, but we all know that sadly Max Soviak was killed in the Kabul airport attack in Afghanistan. His family is going through much turmoil and grief so we wanted to start this fund in honor of Max and his family, to help with everything financial so they can focus on their family during this time of need.
</p>

<p> 
</p>

<p>Max was an Corpsman in the U.S. Navy who dreamed of being in the service since he was a child. Proudly serving his country while deployed, helping others throughout his career. He was always passionate about helping his fellow Americans and helping get those home safely during the evacuation of Afghanistan after its fall. Kip spoke often of his children, he was very proud of Max when he spoke of him and the things his son has accomplished.
</p>

<p> 
</p>

<p>Kip and Rachel Soviak, Max’s parents are well known in the surrounding community in Milan, Ohio. Proud supporters of their children who attended Edison. They are foster parents and have adopted several children throughout their lives. Kip and Rachel have always helped me, my family, and others throughout their lives with no expectation of gratitude. I myself have worked with Kip for years as a critical care RN, I want this fund to care for him and his family as he has done throughout his nursing career for all of his patients.
</p>

<p> 
</p>

<p>I will be attempting to reach out to news outlets to connect them here. Family and friends, please feel free to edit or add to Max’s story as you see fit.

Max Soviak Memorial Fund

Rachel Robledo

On the night of March 17th, the police responded to a dangerous incident near my apartment building. A police officer insisted that I come outside to point out where the incident had taken place- asking me to place myself in harm’s way.<br /><br />The police knocked on my door to get me to come out to point to a location that I had already described on the phone multiple times. I didn’t feel safe stepping outside. <br /><br />As I stepped out my door, my dog Nala inadvertently followed behind me before I could close the door.  My dog Nala is the sweetest, most gentle, and docile dog. Without provocation, an officer immediately upon seeing Nala, who was not threatening her in any way, pulled her gun and shot my dog at least twice.  <br /><br />She aimed for Nala’s head and Nala’s heart. Nala ran off after being shot in the head area. I was convinced Nala had just been murdered in front of my eyes. I had an understandably emotional reaction. I'm lucky to be alive. <br /><br />My sweet dog ran off to the pond behind my house to die.  My neighbors all came out and were shocked to learn that Nala, well known to them as a sweet dog, had just been shot by police for no reason.  The police offered me no effective assistance and it was my neighbors who helped me care for my dog.  In fact, the officers prevented me and a Good Samaritan from leaving with Nala for 20 minutes as I was desperately trying to get her to the emergency vet hospital. I feared my dog would die on the way to the hospital due to the delay.  <br /><br />When we were finally allowed to go to the emergency vet, they demanded $3,000 immediately, or they would not save my dog. Nala was bleeding from multiple wounds and they were demanding money I didn’t have. The police department refused to take any responsibility. I had to borrow money from my widowed mother who lives on a fixed income to save Nala’s life. <br /><br />The officer’s shooting of Nala was so reckless that one of her bullets hit a person on the scene. I am convinced that the reckless cop who unlawfully shot my dog would have shot me as well had it not been for the protection of divine intervention.  My contacts with the police department to seek answers have been frustrating.  I have yet to be given the name of the cop who shot my dog because it is part of an Internal Affairs investigation. <br /><br />I was not the suspect.  In fact, I was the one who called in to report what I thought was a dangerous situation for myself and neighbors.  In return, the police recklessly and heartlessly shot my dog for no reason.  Nala now requires significant and ongoing medical care. The possibility of infection and other life-threatening complications are real. I have not been back to work since this incident as I deal with daily vet visits, vigilant wound management, and Nala’s constant care. This event is a life-changing injustice. <br /><br />Against all odds, Nala is alive. It feels like a miracle. Anything you can do to help me pay for her ongoing vet bills, and help Nala and I and navigate the difficult road ahead toward healing and justice will be very appreciated.
