<div>Hello family &amp; friends. My name is Destiny. Most of you know my sister Justine, and if you didn’t, let me tell you just a bit about the strong, unforgettable woman she was. She was beautiful, funny, and a damn fighter ! Justine fought cancer for 7 years , every time it tried to knock her down she got up and kicked its ass. Sadly this morning she peacefully passed away leaving behind her 6 year old son . This wasn’t exactly expected at this time for my mother, sisters, &amp; I. We know how deeply she was loved, and so many have reached out asking how they can help. During this incredibly difficult time, the most meaningful way to support our family right now is by helping us with the costs of her cremation and the expenses that come with laying her to rest. Any amount, no matter how big or small, would mean so much to our family. Even if you cannot donate just a share would mean so much to us. Any costs that are left over after all we have to do will go towards her 6 year old son Joshua. Thank you so much in advance. ❣️

<div>Help Us Honor the Life of Ian Rudnitskas 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we share the sudden and unexpected passing of our beloved, Ian Rudnitskas. His loss has left a void in our family that can never be filled.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Ian was truly one of a kind — the kind of person who wore his heart on his sleeve and never hesitated to help others, even when he was struggling himself. His love was loud, genuine, and unconditional. He would give you the shirt off his back without a second thought and was always the first to show up when someone was in need.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Now, in the wake of this heartbreaking loss, we are reaching out to our community for support. We are hoping to raise funds to help cover the unexpected funeral and memorial costs, and to give Ian the loving and dignified farewell he deserves.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Any contribution, big or small, will make a meaningful difference. If you’re not able to donate at this time, please consider sharing this page with others who may be able to help.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The entire family thanks you for your kindness, prayers, and support during this incredibly difficult time.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With love,

</div>

We’ve been dedicated to providing Activity-Based Therapy, empowering our clients to defy limitations and achieve a better quality of life. However, our current facility has reached its maximum capacity, limiting our ability to serve all those in need.

<div>However, the challenge of building out an appropriate accessible gym facility in the space comes with a hefty price tag that we simply cannot shoulder alone. We rely on corporate partners, private foundations, grants, and individual donors to keep pricing affordable for clients.

<div>NextStep Orlando was founded by Liza Riedel, whose own daughter experienced a catastrophic car accident and spinal injury at the age of 18. Witnessing the challenges of paralysis firsthand, she recognized the limitation of traditional physical therapy and sought a more dynamic approach to rehabilitation, becoming the only Florida affiliate of the NeuroRecovery Network’s Community Fitness and Wellness Center, sponsored by the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation. The amazing journeys of progress over the years include:

Unexpected funeral expenses for Coleen Smith

Hi my name is Ray Waggoner I’m Shantia’s father and I’m raising money on behalf of my daughter . The funds will be withdrawed in my name and go straight to her.On Sunday April 22 2018 at 3am Shantia Waggoner was one of the Waffle House shooting victims that suffered Gun shot wounds and the painful loss of her boyfriend that early morning (Akilah Dasilva) in the shooting .He died from a senseless act of violence. Along with that she has had several surgeries and more to come. The doctors are fighting to save her leg. I can’t afford to get her the proper care she needs .l (Ray Waggoner) her father are making this for my beautiful daughter's medical expenses and needs because she will need several more surgeries and physical and emotional therapy. She has a long road ahead of her will need the of as many kind and loving words of prayer as well as financial support God Bless all of you who find it your heart to do so as well as those who already have Thank You All In Advance.<a href="http://www.wsmv.com/story/38015179/remembering-the-victims-of-the-antioch-shooting." target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.wsmv.com/story/38015179/remembering-the-victims-of-the-antioch-shooting.</a> Please view their stories of the horrific moment this kind of sinceless acts of violence against our children and the innocent people in our country and all over has to stop.

Save Shantia’s  (Tia) leg !

<p>We saw some folks are raising money for a border wall to keep out our migrant siblings and fellow human beings, who are fleeing violence and persecution and whose tragically-underpaid labor is essential to the U.S. economy. <a href="https://www.brookings.edu/essay/the-wall-the-real-costs-of-a-barrier-between-the-united-states-and-mexico/">Seems like a bad idea on countless levels for everyone involved.</a>  Maybe we should focus on human rights and creating a community that reflects our supposed values. 
</p>

<p>And even though at a rate of $1.7 million daily, it would take their fund about 35 years to raise the <a href="https://www.politifact.com/california/statements/2017/apr/28/scott-peters/would-trumps-border-wall-cost-same-one-and-half-us/">$21.7 billion that Trump's own Dept. of Homeland Security says would be needed</a>  to build said wall, we wanna make sure ladders are ready to send over to our undocumented friends and help them.
</p>

<p>If this seems ludicrous, we welcome you to the coalition of reasonable adults. 
</p>

<p>Should we not reach our goal--or should they (ahem) not reach theirs--all funds raised will go to the Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services <a href="https://www.raicestexas.org/about/">(RAICES)</a> , a Texas-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit agency that promotes justice by providing free and low-cost legal services to underserved immigrant children, families, and refugees.
</p>

<p>You see, they’ll never reach their goal, but no matter how much we raise, we’re going to reach ours:
</p>

<p>Supporting an organization working to help immigrants seeking legal asylum. This GoFundMe isn’t really about ladders at all. It’s about lifting people up.
</p>

<p>This idea is the original brainchild of <a href="https://twitter.com/HoarseWisperer">@HoarseWisperer</a> on Twitter.
</p>

Ladders to Get Over Trump's Wall

She had to recieve chemotherapy as well as radiation. After what felt like a lifetime my mother went into remission and beat cancer. Three months later my mom went in for a check and was told that the cancer had return. This time she was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. We began treatments right away . As time went on my mom began to lose her hair. That was one of the most difficult things she had to deal with. I remember sitting there with my mom for 2 hours as I tried to brush the tangles out of her hair. Chunks of her hair came out as I brushed it. Even in that moment my mom was still strong. She had chemo every Friday and we were there for almost 12hrs everytime. Another month passed by and the doctors did a scan of her lungs and noticed that some of the nodgels in her lungs had gotten bigger. So they switched her chemo and tried different medication.  Through all of this my mom remained strong. She always made sure to laugh and smile through the pain. She also made sure that my brothers and mysef were taken care of. As expected my mom was always tired and didnt really eat much because the medicines made her sick. My mom lost over 100 pounds and was the smallest I have ever seen. We tried to live oour lives as normal as possible. For a while my mom was always in bed sleeping and not eating, I was working , taking care of her , my brothers and animals, paying everything , cleaning cooking and more. Even though it was not easy I would do anything for her. My mom still was going to chemo , I made sure she was never alone during her treatments.  Skip a head a couple months later I started to see my mom comeback. She was starting to act more like herself and seemed happy. Unfortunatley everything went down hill. I had notice that my mom was not getting up rom her bed and when she did I would literally have to pick her up from her bed and walk her to the bathroom. She also wasnt eating or really talking to anyone. On August 1st I told my mom enough is enough and that I was taking her to the ER. She fought with me and my brother because she did not want to go. I got her dressed and got everything else ready and me and my older brother struggled to get her in the car. She had passed out on us muiltiple times and went dead weight on us. Little did we know that she was dieing. I rushed her to the ER and from there on my mom myself and my family began to live this nightmare. My mother had a hole in her colon. She had a really bad infection that was spreading. The suregeons came in and told me and my aunt that if they did not perform this emergency surgery she would die... and even if they did it she would die. Like any normal person would I broke down and I was so scared . I signed the papers for  my mom to get this surgery. We walked with her to the Pre OP ... it was August 2nd and about 2 or 3 in the morning at this point. The suregon came out and told us that there would be 100% complication and my mom was not going to make it.  We ran behind my mom as they were rolling her away just to give her a hug and a kiss and to tell her that we loved her. Fast foward a couple hours and my mom made it out of surgery even though she was not suppose to. She was taken to the ICU and a couple dadys later was moved to a regular floor because she was doing better. At the time I had not  talked to my mom or had a conversation with her for almost a week because she was unable to talk.Fast foward a little bit more my mom satrted to act more like herself again. We got to spend time with her and shed some tears but also some laughs.  On August 23rd I was in the room with my mom like I was everyday. I felt that something was wrong and something was off. My mom began to breathe faster and harder. I grabbed her face and said mom to her trying to see if i could get her attention. In 1 second my mom stopped breathing and died right infront of me. She was without a pulse for 8 minutes. She was moved back to the ICU and we were told there was nothing else left to do. She's been on life support for the past couple day's. Me and brother had come to the conclusion and agreement that we do not want to see our mom suffer anymore. On August <br />25th ,2017 at 6:00pm all of her loved ones will be in the room with her as she takes her last breath. It has been the most difficult decison that me and my brothers have had to make but we also know it is the right one.<br /><br /><br />We want to be able to give our mom a beautiful service . This was unexpected and we were not prepared financially , emotionally or menatlly. My mom was an amazing women . She had the best heart and soul. She always put herself last and always made sure everyone else was okay before she even thought about herself. My mom was the strongest person I have ever met ... she made me who I am today and I will always be greatful for that. Everyone and anyone who met my mom loved her right away. She was an amazing beautiful woman inside and out. There are honestly no words to describe how amazing she was. My mom will be in peace and happy. I normally dont ask for hep from anyone but this is different. Anything will help. I just want to be able to give her something beautiful and something that she deserves. Thank you so much to everyone who has been here and has loved my mom and cared for her. Thank you to anyone who has helped us.... you have no idea how much it means. God Bless.

This is Erika. Last year, she herniated a disc in her spine, but before that could be addressed, two cysts on her hip started bleeding and had to be removed immediately. That surgery was incredibly painful, with a 3 month recovery time, Erika missed a lot of work. <br /><br />If this were the end of her story, we wouldn't be here. But unfortunately for her, it's not. <br /><br />Recovery has been slow, if not nonexistent. The pain from her hip surgery should have dissipated by now, she should not be walking with a cane. She shouldn't be in excruciating pain every day. <br /><br />She has been through physical therapy, dry needling, pain management, but nothing has brought her any relief. <br /><br />Last week, Erika took the MRI of her spine to the Laser Spine Institute and elected to pay $15,000 out of pocket to have the tear and herniated disc repaired. Her surgeon told her if she waited any longer, she would not be able to move. <br /><br />This was a bittersweet decision, while the surgery will ease some pain, she will, again, be out of work. <br /><br />Erika would never ask for help, so I am doing it for her. She is a single mother of a beautiful teenage daughter, Taylor.<br /><br />Any little bit would help. Erika is an amazing woman, a strong soul and a wonderful friend. It breaks my heart to see her in so much pain. <br /><br />If you can, please donate and share this with others. <br /><br />Thank you, and God bless!

Yesterday we lost someone very special...our father, husband, brother, grandfather, uncle and friend. He has been sick for a while but it is never easy and you are never prepared. Due to his health he was denied any type of life insurance. We are not the type of people who would ask for anything but in this situation anything would help so we can give our father the service he deserves.
