<div>My 9 month old niece, Harper, is currently at Boston Children’s Hospital in heart failure. Her parents are by her side every day, and her siblings Emma, Larry, and Raya are being cared for by their grandfather while the family navigates this difficult time. The emotional and financial toll is immense, as Harper’s mom and dad have had to leave work to support her through her medical journey. Her grandfather, who lives with the family, is also missing her tremendously during this difficult time and is caring for her siblings. 
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div> The funds raised will help cover medical bills, travel expenses, and daily costs for Harper’s family. With her parents out of work, every dollar will help them focus on Harper’s care and ensure her siblings are safe and supported. Your generosity will relieve some of the financial stress and allow the family to stay together during this critical time. 
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div> Harper has a long road ahead with more surgeries on her heart. She is also dealing with blood clots in her legs from poor circulation, and is working on gaining weight since she never ate enough due to exhaustion from her weakened heart. Any support you can give will make a meaningful difference for Harper and her family. Please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser to help them through this journey.

Help Harper’s Heart & Family

<div>Julia and Jacob Chouinard, along with their family, are raising funds to support their uncle, Matthew Carreiro, following a life-altering accident.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On July 26, 2025, Matt suffered a severe spinal cord injury at the C4 level and underwent major surgery to stabilize his neck and relieve the compression on his spinal cord. Surgeons fused his C2 to T1 vertebrae and performed a laminectomy of four vertebrae (removing portions of bone) to create more space around the spinal cord and prevent further damage. In addition to the spinal injury, Matt suffered an epidural hematoma, which caused additional pressure and swelling around the spinal cord. He is currently being treated at Rhode Island Hospital and has been moved from the Neuro Critical Care Unit to a more stable phase of his recovery, a big milestone — but he still faces a long road ahead.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Matt has been diagnosed with a C4 ASIA B Spinal Cord Injury, meaning he retains most sensory function below the injury level, but motor function is severely impaired.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Matt will begin an intense inpatient rehabilitation program at Spaulding, where he will undergo specialized physical and occupational therapy focused on spinal cord injuries. This will be a critical phase of his recovery and will require time, strength, and support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This has been devastating for Matt and his family. His pride and joy are his three sons: Zachary (16), Tyler (13), and Alexander (9). The emotional, physical, and financial adjustment ahead will be enormous. Through it all, Matt — with the unwavering support of his wife, Nikki — has remained incredibly strong, positive, and hopeful.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The outpouring of love and support from friends and family has been overwhelming. Many have asked how they can help — which is why we’ve created this GoFundMe page. Donations will go directly toward medical bills, rehabilitation costs, adaptive equipment, travel, and the many other expenses that come with a spinal cord injury and long-term recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for standing by Matt and his family during this incredibly difficult time. Every prayer, donation, share, and positive energy means the world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

Support Matt Carreiro's Healing Journey

<div>Our family is facing something we never imagined. My brother-in-law, Will, suffered a tragic accident at work — a 13-foot fall that left him with 11 broken ribs, multiple facial fractures, a broken hip, and the need for extensive hip surgery. He is currently hospitalized and in excruciating pain, beginning what will be a long and difficult recovery.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Will is one of the hardest-working, kindest men you could ever meet — a devoted partner to my sister Julie and an incredible father to their two little boys, Ben and Eli. He has always been the rock of their family, working tirelessly to provide and allowing Julie to stay home with the kids.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Now, with Will unable to work for the foreseeable future, their world has been turned upside down. Between medical bills, lost income, and the unknowns of a long recovery, they’re facing challenges no family should have to face alone.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>So many friends, family, and kind people have been reaching out asking how they can help — this GoFundMe feels like the most direct and streamlined way to support Will, Julie, and the boys during this incredibly difficult time.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’m humbly asking for help to support Will and Julie during this unimaginable time — to help cover medical expenses, household costs, and essentials for their boys while Will focuses on healing.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Any donation, big or small, will make a difference and mean the world to our family. If you’re not able to give, please consider sharing this page and keeping Will and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your compassion, generosity, and love. ❤️

After the Fall, Let's Help Them Stand Tall - Will Henriques

<div>Hi, I am Jared’s mother, Cheryl Rowe. Jared has been sick since before Christmas. He had been taken to the Emergency Room and Urgent Care many times (at least once a week!), and they could find nothing wrong. On January 26th, he was taken again to the emergency room. He tested positive for Flu A, pneumonia (viral and bacterial), collapsed lungs, and was septic. His oxygen dropped, and they had to intubate him with difficulty. Boston MedFlight transported him to Beth Israel. He has been in the Finard ICU at the East campus for 95 days. He had to have a tracheostomy and a feeding tube placed. They have run multiple bloodwork, CT scans, MRIs, PET scans, lumbar punctures, and bone marrow biopsies. He is being followed by many doctors due to his abnormal genetics, trisomy 8/partial deletion of 15, unexplained high heart rates (140-170), labile blood pressures (high/low), multiple pneumonias, repeated right collapsed lung, and unexplained high fevers. Jared is still in the ICU, and I have been by his side 24/7. He is non-verbal and globally challenged. I have had to be his voice and advocate for him. I have not been able to work my second job either. I couldn’t leave him at the hospital. He did come home for the beginning of May but is now admitted in Boston Children’s Hospital ICU again for aspiration pneumonia and low O2 due to inadequate supplies we received. We are learning how to take care of him with his additional medical needs. Unfortunately, I just had to pay for both of his service dogs that just passed (one on her own, the other had major stroke and had to be euthanized at home) in April 2 weeks apart! I had them picked up from the house to be cremated, just like his past service dogs which emptied my savings. I have no vacation time left and just found out that I am out of paid family medical leave. I lost the pay from my second job since I was unable to work while Jared has been in the hospital. I only received partial pay (for my position from before I became director) and the extra expenses of having to eat at the hospital daily. Needless to say, I was already getting behind on bills with the partial pay and loss of the second paycheck. Now, without the partial check, we are without income. <strong>I am embarrassed to ask for help, but I need to be able to stay with my disabled, special needs, medically fragile son.</strong>

<div>Thank you for any and all assistance!!

<div>Dad &lt;3
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My dad is and forever will be the strongest man I know. He worked hard and took pride in everything he did; he took care of me and my brother Kage no matter what. Although, when he wanted to relax, he would go out golfing with some buddies and hit up the Swansea Gridiron. He was just about to turn 45, and everyone was ready to celebrate with him. He truly supported all of us, and his support lives on through the people who loved him. Through his example, I learned to surround myself with people who will always be there for me. Even though I can’t tell him now, my dad will forever be the biggest pillar in my life, and he’s left his mark on many others. I have learned about all of the good things he’s done for people without them having to ask, and I hope to one day fill those shoes and set that example for others as he did for me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>His passing was sudden and unexpected</strong>. I know he was nowhere near ready to leave us behind. I lived here with my dad and Grammy for a few years, but we weren’t prepared for any house payments or funeral costs that would come with his untimely loss. <strong>I am 18 trying to take care of this house with my Grammy</strong>, and we want to hold onto this house because he worked so hard to make it a home. We lost our loved one, and he deserves to rest knowing his mother and daughter are secure and that he will be honored with a proper funeral.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He’s left me with more strength and courage than I've ever felt in my whole life. He would tell me, “Don’t overthink it so much, and just take the next step, one at a time.” I know he’s proud of me, and I know he’s proud of every person who has reached out with a helping hand and those that have kept him in their thoughts. This has not been easy for anyone, but we’ll all be in it together. Let’s all use the strength that he’s left behind for us and use it to build a new pillar of his legacy.

Honor a Loving Father: Support His Family

<div>Hey friends, on Thursday at around 8 pm, our dear brother Tristan was hit by a drunk driver head-on. Tristan was on break from his job at Five Guys, visiting his girlfriend. On his way back to work, tragedy struck, and his life was turned upside down in a matter of seconds.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Witnesses saw the drunk driver on the wrong side of the road and watched the guy hit Tristan's car going at least 60 mph. He was hit so hard that the door blew off! Police arrived, rendering aid to Tristan, but within minutes his car caught fire. They now had to act quickly and get him out. As they did, a firefighter on the scene told the paramedics he had to go to RI hospital for his head trauma, and the doctors insisted this saved his life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Upon arriving at the hospital, the nurses acted quickly; one noticed something off and called for an immediate brain scan. This revealed a brain bleed in the back of his head. Neurology stepped in and took over. Tristan's brain was swelling too much, and they needed to act fast, so they removed half of his skull to alleviate pressure. Within the next few hours, his brain stopped swelling! His left femur is broken, his left forearm shattered, right ankle is broken, and his face is badly swollen. Tristan is in an induced coma for less brain stimulation but is responding to family talking. So much so that they had to up his meds so his brain can heal. All great signs but a very, very long road ahead.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A little background on Tristan: He is the most caring and kindhearted soul you'll ever have the pleasure of meeting. His intelligence with computers and all-around love of tech has pushed him to pursue a career in the field, currently taking classes at MTTI for computers and networking, with dreams of furthering his education in the cybersecurity field. In addition to his passion for all things tech, he adores the time spent with his girlfriend, Maya. He has a deep affection for the outdoors, a keen eye for photography, a love for all things related to video games, a fond devotion for hanging out with his friends and being a shoulder to lean on. Additionally, he shares a tender bond with his coworkers at Five Guys and has a passion for helping people, often putting aside his own life for strangers he barely knows. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tristan is a Christian and goes to Grace Mountain Church of God with his family every Sunday.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All we want (as a family and community) is for Tristan to return home healthy/recovered and have the resources he needs to live a long and fulfilling life!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any donation made will go directly towards costs related to medical, his education at MTTI (because he is not working), lawyer fees, and his overall well-being in these times.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From our family, and from all those who know Tristan, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your help and support!
</div>

Tristan needs our help! Hit by drunk driver!

<div>My name is Jen, unexpectedly and tragically my nephew, Jacob, passed away last night in a fatal car crash. Words cannot even begin to express the heartache my sister, Stacey Pothier, his father, Jason Pothier, and the entire family is facing. Nearly two weeks ago, we celebrated Jacob’s 18th birthday and Christmas. With the new year ahead, this was something wildly out of the realm of possibility in any of our minds.  
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While we are all saddened by Jacob’s sudden and tragic passing, there are huge financial burdens that accompany such a tragedy that need to happen in a really short period of time.  
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This page has been created to honor my nephew and help my sister and her family afford to memorialize and bury him. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No contribution is too small, any assistance would be appreciated immensely by the entire family. Please consider a donation or sharing this page with your family or friends. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jacob touched so many people in ways we knew; but, in many more ways we never knew. The laughs and those blue eyes will live in my memory forever.

<div>Hello. My name is Sandra Silvia and I am helping raise funds for Helena and Rodrigo Camarao who lost their house in a fire. If you know this couple then you know they would be the first to come to the rescue of anyone in need. Now it’s their turn to receive help and most importantly love, support, and prayers. I’m not only their cousin but also their Pastor. I know the struggles they have been through and yet they continue to praise the Lord, thank him in all circumstances, and lead others to a personal relationship with Christ. Now we all have the opportunity to lift them up in prayer as they rebuild their home and the privilege to give a donation and be a part of the work God is doing in their lives. Please consider a donation of any amount and share this post on your page.

<div>It’s with a sad heart to say that on October 27th she passed.

<div>Hi, my name is Amber Arruda, and I am a friend of the family. This fundraiser is being created to help with medical and funeral/memorial expenses for the family of Cameron Audet. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cameron's life was cut far too short and reminded us how unfair and short life can truly be. The sudden loss of Cameron has flipped his entire family's life upside down. Cameron was only heading into his sophomore year at Joseph Case High School in Swansea, where he was an active, full-of-life teenage boy. He was also a dedicated member of the football team, wearing jersey number 7.  He is described as "an example for everyone" because of his positive attitude and willingness on and off the football field.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This family is experiencing the tragic loss of a son, grandson, nephew, cousin, and brother. The last thing I would like them to think about is how to cover the expenses of honoring this young child's life, which has left its mark on many individuals. So, as some of you read this wondering what you can do to help, please consider donating as the most immediate need is covering medical and funeral expenses. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>** All donations will be going directly to the family of Cameron Audet. **

I plan on planting a beautiful tree at the track in honor of her.<br /><br />Please help anyway you can. Donate if you can (no amount is to small). Please share this.

John Ferreira has touched the lives of so many people.  He had a heart of gold and loved his family and friends very deeply.   He was a kind man that would help anyone at any time without question or judgement.  John had a  passion for fishing, he loved to sit by the water and listen to nature while day dreaming of better days to come.  I, Lisa Grillo am one of John's oldest and dearest friends. He was my first love as I was his.  Even though our lives went separate ways we have children together one which is his biologically and the other he loved just the same, but John and I remained friends the best of friends up until the very end. I am setting up this GoFundMe page to help the Ferreira family give John the burial that he deserves.  It is unfortunate that at this time financially it will be difficult to do so.  I hope that this will provide a little comfort to his family by giving them a little piece of mind knowing that Johnny 5 will rest in peace but will always be alive in our hearts.

Please help John's family lay him to rest
