Emergency Relief for Venezuela Earthquake Victims

<div>Following the devastating earthquake in Venezuela, <strong>FUNDANA</strong> is launching an emergency relief effort to protect the children and families who need us most right now. The situation is dire, and the youngest and most vulnerable are always the hardest hit.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For 34 years, <strong>FUNDANA </strong>has worked on the ground in Venezuela to protect children, women, and families living in situations of social vulnerability. As a partner of UNICEF and a trusted local organization, we have reunited more than 1,500 children with strengthened biological families, placed over 700 children in loving foster homes, and supported more than 10,000 families with guidance and care. That same experience and infrastructure is now being mobilized to respond to this emergency.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All donations raised through this campaign go directly to <strong>FUNDANA</strong> in Venezuela and will be used exclusively to support earthquake relief efforts, deployed through our existing programs and teams already serving affected communities.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Aid will be prioritized according to the severity of the impact, the urgent needs identified by our teams on the ground, and our ability to deliver assistance quickly, safely, and responsibly.
</div>

<div>Please donate and share this campaign. Every contribution, regardless of size, can make a meaningful difference for a child in Venezuela.

We are all Venezuela — Todos somos Venezuela 

<div>My name is Yoselin, I am from La Guaira, and what you see here is my house, my building, my people. And a few hours ago, two massive earthquakes, magnitude 7.2 and 7.5, just seconds apart, tore through the coast of Venezuela, the strongest to hit the country in over a century. My building, Residencias La Riviera, in Playa Grande, Catia La Mar, my home, my neighborhood, my hometown, was severely damaged. By the grace of God, my family is alive, but tonight they are homeless, with no electricity, and roads blocked with nowhere nearby to go. Our neighbors are facing the same thing.
</div>
<div>I am raising these funds for my own home and the community I grew up in. I will personally be receiving and managing the funds, and here is exactly how they will be used: paying a structural engineer to evaluate my building, funding the cleanup of the debris from the building and my house, and covering the repairs my home urgently needs, since I currently have no walls and the inside of my house is destroyed (you can see this in the photos I've shared). Your support will also help cover basics like food, shelter, and supplies for my family during these uncertain days, and help all of us begin the long road of rebuilding.
</div>
<div>I will personally make sure every dollar reaches what it's meant for, my home, and the neighbors who have shared this life with us for years. We have lost a building. We have not lost each other. With faith, and with your help, we will rebuild.
</div>
<div>Thank you for standing with us.

</div>
<div>Mi nombre es Yoselin, soy de La Guaira, y lo que ven aquí es mi casa, mi edificio, mi gente. Y hace unas horas, dos terremotos masivos, de magnitud 7.2 y 7.5, separados por segundos, sacudieron la costa de Venezuela, los más fuertes en golpear al país en más de un siglo. Mi edificio, Residencias La Riviera, en Playa Grande, Catia La Mar, mi hogar, mi vecindario, mi pueblo, sufrió graves daños. Por la gracia de Dios, mi familia está viva, pero esta noche no tienen hogar, no tienen electricidad, y las vías están cerradas sin ningún lugar cercano al cual ir. Nuestros vecinos enfrentan la misma situación.
</div>
<div>Estoy recaudando estos fondos para mi propio hogar y la comunidad en la que crecí. Yo seré quien reciba y administre los fondos directamente, y así es exactamente como se usarán: pagar a un ingeniero estructural para evaluar mi edificio, financiar la limpieza de los escombros del edificio y de mi casa, y cubrir las reparaciones que mi hogar necesita con urgencia, ya que actualmente no tengo paredes y el interior de mi casa está destruido (esto se puede ver en las fotos que he compartido). Su apoyo también ayudará a cubrir lo básico como comida, refugio y suministros para mi familia durante estos días de incertidumbre, y nos ayudará a todos a comenzar el largo camino de la reconstrucción.
</div>
<div>Yo personalmente me aseguraré de que cada dólar llegue a donde debe ir, a mi hogar, y a los vecinos que han compartido esta vida con nosotros durante años. Hemos perdido un edificio. No nos hemos perdido los unos a los otros. Con fe, y con su ayuda, vamos a reconstruir.
</div>
<div>Gracias por apoyarnos.

Rebuild After Venezuela Earthquakes

<div>Después del texto en Inglés está en Español.
</div>
<div><strong>(• The target amount is in Mexican Pesos)</strong>
</div>
<div>José’s life changed radically five years ago when a car accident left him quadriplegic.
</div>
<div>Since then, every movement, every small step forward, and every achievement—no matter how minimal—holds immense value.
</div>
<div>Feeling stagnant with conventional therapies and the standard healthcare system, José sought new alternatives to continue progressing in his rehabilitation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is how he discovered the teachings of Dr. Joe Dispenza and attended one of his retreats in Mexico a year ago.
</div>
<div>It was an experience that gave him new hope. Since he began meditating every day, he has noticed changes that represent major breakthroughs for him:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Increased sensitivity to temperature in his hands.
</div>
<div>• Greater awareness of his back.
</div>
<div>• The first signs of sensation in his legs.
</div>
<div>• Improved perception of his physiological needs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since that retreat, José lives every day with discipline, faith, and admirable determination. He is also part of a Spanish speaking Coherence Healing group where his duty is to coordinate sessions.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With an upcoming Dr. Joe Dispenza retreat in Mexico, José wishes to return. He has already started a journey that has restored his hope, proving that when one change occurs—no matter how small—it opens the door for many more.
</div>
<div>His deepest desire is to keep moving toward greater independence in his daily life and to get closer to his ultimate goal: to walk again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To be able to attend, he needs to travel with a caregiver, as his condition does not allow him to fend for himself.
</div>
<div>The funds will cover:
</div>
<div>• Airfare
</div>
<div>• Lodging
</div>
<div>• Retreat registration
</div>
<div>• Travel expenses for a caregiver
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution counts.
</div>
<div>Every person makes a difference.
</div>
<div>If you believe in resilience, discipline, and the power of never giving up, please support José on his journey.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>(•La cantidad a recaudar es en Pesos Mexicanos)</strong>
</div>
<div>La vida de José cambió radicalmente hace 5 años, cuando quedó cuadriplégico en un accidente automovilístico.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Desde entonces, cada movimiento, cada pequeño avance y cada logro, por mínimo que sea tiene un gran valor.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Al sentirse estancado con las terapias y el sistema convencional de salud, Jose buscó nuevas alternativas que le permitieran seguir avanzando en su rehabilitación. Fue así como encontró las enseñanzas del Dr. Joe Dispenza y asistió hace un año a un retiro del Dr. Joe Dispenza en México.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Fue una experiencia que le dió una nueva esperanza, ya que desde que empezó a meditar todos los días, ha percibido cambios que para el representan grandes avances:
</div>
<ul>
<li>mayor sensibilidad para percibir temperatura en sus manos,
</li>
<li>más conciencia en su espalda,
</li>
<li>inicios de sensibilidad en sus piernas y
</li>
<li>percepción de sus necesidades fisiológicas.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Desde ese retiro José vive cada día con disciplina, con fé y con una admirable determinación. Forma parte de un grupo de Coherence Healings en Español y su tarea es coordinar las sesiones.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Con un próximo retiro del Dr. Joe Dispenza en México, José desea volver, ya comenzó un camino que le ha devuelto esperanza. Ha comprobado que cuando ocurre un cambio, por pequeño que sea, se abre la posibilidad de que lleguen otros más.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Su anhelo es seguir avanzando hacia una mayor independencia en su día a día y acercarse cada vez más a su gran meta: volver a caminar.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Para lograrlo necesita viajar con un cuidador ya que su condición no le permite valerse por sí mismo.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>•Los fondos cubrirán:
</div>
<div>-Vuelo
</div>
<div>-Hospedaje
</div>
<div>-Retiro
</div>
<div>-Viáticos de un cuidador
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>•Cada aportación suma.
</div>
<div>•Cada persona marca la diferencia.
</div>
<div>•Si crees en la resiliencia, en la disciplina y en el poder de no rendirse, apoya a José en su camino.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gracias por ayudarlo a que dé ese siguiente paso.
</div>
<div><br />

Another step of hope - Otro paso de esperanza.

<div>Hi everyone, <em>(en español más abajo)</em>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I need funds to help my mom get surgery and recover from a fracture with displacement in her right femur. She's in Caracas, Venezuela, where the sanitary conditions in public (low-cost) hospitals are so dire that the risk of infection increases by 50% if we take that route, due to the lack of basics like running water.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Please help me get her surgery done in a clinic, where the risk of complications is much lower.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The amount shown now may vary as I find out how much the post-surgery recovery will be, as well. The stated amount should cover pre-op medications, pre-op medical examinations, ambulance transportations, prosthetics (if we go that route), or whichever other repair items are needed.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The sooner we reach the goal, the sooner we can schedule the surgery, and the less muscle mass my mom will lose due to being bedridden. Due to her excellent physical condition, which she has maintained by practicing yoga since her 20s, her joints are in great shape, thankfully, making the eventual recovery from whichever route we take much easier.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you don't know my mom, she's a baddie. She learned to sew during the dictatorship of the 50s because they'd physically harm children when they made mistakes, so she'd later make my dresses and bathing suits growing up. Despite the rocky beginnings of her education, she was the first generation of women in my family to go to college, have a job, buy herself a car, and an apartment (in a very different Venezuela than we have today). She has 60 years of mystical studies and has helped everyone on her path with her knowledge and wisdom. After my father's passing in 1994, she devoted herself to helping students learn memorization techniques as a volunteer psychologist in my school. She later taught yoga to neighbors, family, and friends for free in our community room at our building. Some of her students avoided the need for medical procedures by taking her yoga classes.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>She's a strong-willed, wildly independent 88-year-old who is appalled that she's having to "bother people" by having fallen on her way from her bedroom to the bathroom last Tuesday, September 2nd.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Bringing her to the US is not an option right now, given the severity of the fracture. Still, her cousin is a retired traumatologist who has recommended the best in town, in decent yet not luxurious clinics, for her surgery. My cousins live next door and are taking great care of her. My college best friend's husband is a paramedic and is also on-call for anything she needs, whenever she needs it, as he was on the night of the fall. We've also hired an aide to be next to her at all times.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>As soon as the surgery is scheduled, I will know when to buy a flight to be there with her during the most delicate part of this whole journey.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for holding her in your heart and contributing in whichever way is available to you, whether it’s sharing this GoFundMe, or contributing monetarily. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With love, from her daughter,

</div>

<div>Rayma

</div>

</div>

<div><em>Hola a todos, </em>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><em>Necesito fondos para ayudar a mi mamá. Tiene fractura con desplazamiento en el fémur derecho. Está en Caracas. Debido a las condiciones sanitarias de los hospitales públicos, donde podría hacerse la cirugía a un costo mucho menor, aumentaría el riesgo de infección en un 50%. </em>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><em>Por favor, ayúdenme a que se opere en una clínica, donde los riesgos de complicaciones son muchísimo más bajos. </em>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><em>El monto que se muestra en este momento puede variar a medida que me vaya enterando de costos posoperatorios, como la rehabilitación. Este monto debe cubrir medicamentos preoperatorios, exámenes médicos preoperatorios, transportes en ambulancia, una prótesis (si se decide que es lo mejor) u otros implementos de reparación de su fémur. </em>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><em>Mientras más pronto se alcance la meta, más pronto se podrá programar la cirugía y la menor cantidad de masa muscular se perderá debido a estar en cama. Gracias a su excelente condición física, que ha mantenido practicando yoga desde sus 20, sus articulaciones están muy bien, haciendo que su eventual recuperación, sea con prótesis o no, sea mucho más fácil. </em>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><em>Si no conocen a mi mamá, es una “dura”. Aprendió alta costura durante la dictadura de los 50 porque maltrataban físicamente a los niños cuando se equivocaban, así que luego ella me hacía mis vestidos y trajes de baño. A pesar de que su educación se vio interrumpida por un tiempo, ella fue la primera generación de mujeres en mi familia en tener educación universitaria, trabajar, comprarse un carro y un apartamento (en una Venezuela muy distinta a la que tenemos hoy). Tiene 60 años de estudios místicos y ha ayudado a todos en su camino con su conocimiento y sabiduría. Después del fallecimiento de mi papá en 1994, se dedicó a ayudar a estudiantes, enseñándoles métodos de estudio y memorización, como psicóloga voluntaria en mi colegio. Luego, enseñó yoga a vecinos, amigos y familiares de forma gratuita en el salón comunitario de nuestro edificio. Algunos de sus estudiantes evitaron procedimientos médicos gracias a que tomaron sus clases de yoga. </em>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><em>Una mujer de voluntad fuerte, increíblemente independiente a sus 88 años, está horrorizada de tener que “molestar a la gente” por haberse caído en camino de su habitación al baño el martes pasado, 2 de septiembre. </em>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><em>Traerla a los Estados Unidos no es una opción en este momento, debido a la gravedad de la fractura. Sin embargo, su primo es traumatólogo jubilado y nos ha recomendado a los mejores médicos que operan en clínicas decentes, no lujosas, para su cirugía. Mis primas viven al lado y la están cuidando estupendamente. El esposo de mi mejor amiga de la universidad es paramédico y está al pendiente, así como lo estuvo la noche de la caída. También hemos contratado a ayudantes que se turnan para su cuidado en todo momento. </em>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><em>En lo que se programe la cirugía, sabré para cuándo comprar vuelos para estar a su lado en la parte más delicada del camino. </em>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><em>Gracias por enviarle amor y por contribuir como te sea posible, compartiendo este GoFundMe o contribuyendo monetariamente.</em>

Urgent Surgery Needed for Rayma's Mom

<div>(English below)
</div>
<div>Queridos amigos, familia y comunidad,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recientemente, nuestro cuñado, Andres, fue diagnosticado con cáncer y tiene un camino difícil por delante. Las noticias han sido obviamente muy duras para él, para mi hermana, Mariela y para toda su familia. También ha afectado su capacidad de trabajar y ganar ingresos mientras se enfocan en su salud.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Estamos pidiendo colaboraciones financieras, desde $5, hasta el monto que puedas, para ayudar a la familia a cubrir sus necesidades diarias y permitirles pagar por el cuidado médico, buscar terapias alternativas e inmunoterapia. Esperamos que con nuestra ayuda, la familia pueda centrarse en seguir los tratamientos y recomendaciones médicas y pasar tiempo juntos sin el estrés de pagar los gastos del mes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Como saben, el cáncer no solo afecta a la persona diagnosticada, sino que también impacta cada aspecto de su vida y a todos aquellos que lo queremos. Su apoyo ayudará a la familia con las necesidades cotidianas, los artículos del hogar para adaptarse a sus nuevas necesidades, la compra de comidas orgánicas para apoyar su salud durante el tratamiento y la exploración de terapias alternativas para complementar los enfoques médicos convencionales. Estos tratamientos a menudo requieren citas mensuales y vienen con grandes cargas financieras que un seguro no cubrirá.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sus contribuciones, ya sean grandes o pequeñas, harán una diferencia importante en el trayecto de esta familia hacia la recuperación. Gracias por su apoyo, amor y amabilidad durante estos momentos tan difíciles. Por favor, ayudanos a regar la voz.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Con un sincero agradecimiento,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>La Familia Febres-Gómez

<div>Dear Friends, Family, and Community,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our brother in law, Andres, has recently been diagnosed with cancer and has a hard journey ahead. The news has obviously been very challenging for him, my sister, Mariela and their 3 kids. It has also impacted their ability to work consistently and earn income as they focus on his health.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>We are reaching out to request contributions from our community to help the family get access to additional alternative therapies &amp; immunotherapy (</em>not covered by insurance).
</div>
<div><em>We hope that with your help the family can focus on fighting the cancer and spending time together without the stress of making ends meet. </em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As you know, cancer doesn't just affect the person who is diagnosed, but also impacts every aspect of their life and those who love them. Your support will help the family with everyday necessities, household items to accommodate their changing needs, the provision of organic meals to support their health during treatment, and the exploration of alternative therapies to complement conventional medical approaches. These treatments often require monthly appointments and come with their own financial burdens.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your contributions, whether big or small, will make an immeasurable difference in the family’s journey towards healing. Please spread the word with your friends &amp; community! Any donation amount is well received.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your support, love, and kindness during this difficult time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With heartfelt gratitude,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Febres-Gomez Family

Luchando el cancer con tu ayuda! - Fighting cancer with help

<div>Hola, gracias por llegar hasta acá; su esposa Aidé (Chacha) y los hermanos Ramírez con la colaboración de la prima Blanca, hemos decidido abrir esta campaña de recaudación para ayudar a nuestro papá Noel Ramírez en su lucha contra un Adenocarcinoma de próstata A/D, con crecimiento prostático grado II que le fue detectado hace un par de años en Caracas, Venezuela.
</div>
<div>Inicialmente, el tratamiento era la realización de una biopsia y la posterior extracción de la próstata de manera de eliminar la utilización de la sonda urinaria que desde entonces usa permanentemente con el objetivo de que pueda miccionar con normalidad debido a que el agrandamiento de la próstata, le obstruye las vías urinarias. El uso prolongado de sonda por más que se realice el cambio con periodicidad, genera infecciones y obstrucciones que requieren tratamientos periódicos con antibióticos, exámenes de laboratorio e inclusive acudir a la emergencia con su médico tratante.
</div>
<div>Aunque papá está siendo atendido en casa, queremos seguir ofreciéndole la mejor calidad de vida que esté a nuestro alcance y como no fue posible operarlo en su momento por situación país,  deseamos utilizar el dinero recaudado para pagar los gastos que pudieran generar el nuevo tratamiento médico propuesto para palear la sintomatología prostática como lo es el bloqueo hormonal completo prescrito, considerado como  medicamentos de alto costo, así como los otros medicamentos y los gastos médicos permanentes y necesarios para su atención:
</div>
<div>- Pañales para adulto
</div>
<div>- Centros de Cama desechables
</div>
<div>- Medicinas (Bicalutamida, Goserelina, Macrodantina, Cefixima, Tamsulosina, Vitaminas y Suplementos)
</div>
<div>- Estudios de Laboratorios
</div>
<div>- Silla de ruedas
</div>
<div>- Consultas médicas
</div>
<div>De antemano les agradecemos enormemente cualquier ayuda o simplemente el compartir este mensaje para que llegue a la mayor cantidad de personas posibles.

<div>Hi, thanks for getting here; his wife Aidé (Chacha) and the Ramírez brothers with the collaboration of cousin Blanca, we have decided to open this fundraising campaign to help our father Noel Ramírez in his fight against prostate adenocarcinoma A/D, with grade II prostatic growth that It was detected a couple of years ago in Caracas, Venezuela.
</div>
<div>Initially, the treatment was to carry out a biopsy and the subsequent extraction of the prostate in order to eliminate the use of the urinary catheter, which he has been using permanently since then, in order to allow him to urinate normally, due to the enlargement of the prostate, it obstructs the urinary tract. Prolonged use of the urinary catheter, even if the change is made periodically, generates infections and obstructions that require periodic treatments with antibiotics, laboratory tests and even going to the emergency room with his treating doctor.
</div>
<div>Although dad is being cared for at home, we want to continue offering him the best quality of life within our reach and since it was not possible to operate on him at the time due to the country situation, we want to use the money raised to pay for the expenses that the proposed medical treatment could generate to alleviate the prostatic symptoms, such as the complete hormonal blockade prescribed, considered as high-cost drugs, as well as other medications and the permanent and necessary medical expenses for his care:
</div>
<div>- Adult diapers
</div>
<div>- Disposable Bed Centers
</div>
<div>- Medicines (Bicalutamide, Goserelin, Macrodantin, Cefixime, Tamsulosin, Vitamins and Supplements)
</div>
<div>- Laboratory Studies
</div>
<div>- Wheelchair
</div>
<div>- Medical consultations
</div>
<div>In advance, we greatly appreciate any help or simply sharing this message so that it reaches as many people as possible.

EL SENSEI NOEL NECESITA NUESTRA AYUDA

<div>If you knew Kiko, you already know how much he loved you.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Christmas time in 2022 was very rough for the Rodriguez family as Kiko suffered a tragic accident and passed away unexpectedly.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Kiko and Rico built Federicos over the years with restaurants in several different locations in Fremont and Union City. The brothers shared the legal first name of Federico. If you misspelled the restaurant name with an apostrophe -- Federico's -- the brothers would point out that Federicos is plural, not possessive. Kiko once said, "The restaurant is not OURS. It is US, and WE are Federicos."
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>During the pandemic, Kiko and Rico worked hard to keep their beloved restaurant alive. For well over a year, they were unable to have guests dine at the restaurant and they relied on to-go orders and catering. Since many people were suffering during COVID-19, they collected donations, and donated their time to provide lunches for front line workers. When they reopened the dining room, they tried to keep prices in line with what the customers could pay even though the costs of food rose steadily. Loyal customers helped keep Federicos afloat, and the brothers sacrificed their savings amid low profit margins.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now Kiko's family is faced with unexpected final expenses for Kiko, and Kiko's friends are called upon to help as much as we can.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Chuck Kennedy, and I am a friend of Kiko and Rico. I have been their customer since their restaurant near the Union City BART Station, and in their Niles location I have helped them to build their business by preparing their menus and point-of-sale system. I hold the trust of Kiko's family and many of you, his friends, as I step up to request your help at this time. We all know that Kiko would never ask for your help, but we also know that as much as Kiko loved all of us, clearly he was universally loved in return.
</div>

<div>Hi, my name is Enrique Altuve, 47 years old healthy and active person. 
</div>
<div>A father of two healthy and beautiful kids,  I eat very healthily and work out 5 to 6 weeks. 
</div>
<div>In December I move from Sarasota to a job opportunity in West palm beach  to be close to my kids, 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On May 3 it was a normal day off, I had 5 months on my new job, and I was in the Gym, when a had my first heart attack, I couldn’t breathe, so I stop my workout thinking that was a muscle. The pain in my chest and my back were very strong, I drive like 2 miles two my sister's house and she took me to the hospital.  At the hospital, they told me I was having a heart attack, so the doctor put me to steam and told me I had my arteries blocked, I was having a massive, 100% right-coronary artery (RCA) blockage, that he was going to do open heart surgery on May 10 because my heart was to stress out. He schedule the Surgery for 2 pm, But on May 10 at 4 am a had a massive heart attack, and they had to put me in surgery right away. They put 4 bypasses on my heart, I was a miracle. 
</div>
<div>I was In intense care for over two weeks. 
</div>
<div>At work I couldn’t recibe short-term disability because I wasn’t eligible, I had only 5 months at work I needed to be 6 months to be eligible for short-term disability., my recovery is slow, but I had a faith and go attitude that will overcome this.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On top of the immense hospital bill and consistent purchases of medication needed, visits to the cardiologist have just begun. I'm grateful for still being here. It is a blessing. And now the stinging reality of how financially devastating something like this is beginning to set in. I am still recovering, trying to get back to my daily living routine. I have been out of work; the last thing I want to worry about is the bills that are flowing in.

2  heart attack financial hardship

For nearly 3 years I have been fighting a custody battle against my well-funded, psychologically abusive ex-husband. I have been completely bankrupted and lost custody due to the ongoing stress this situation has taken on my mental health. My ex-husband was psychologically abusive to me during the marriage and dishonest during the divorce proceedings. I often had to represent myself in court against a judge that is prejudiced against me while witnessing my ex's attorney lie in front of the court. <br /><br />My ex even got away with falsely accusing me of child abuse more than a year ago. That charge was determined to be unfounded by the Department of Child Services, but my ex was never held accountable for his false charge. I also dealt with multiple instances of property damage and electronic account hacking/identity theft, and the notoriously ineffective Chicago Police Department did nothing about it. <br /><br />I am bankrupt and have already cashed in my retirement account to pay for an attorney. While my attorney helped me to get weekly phone calls with my son, I am currently unable to talk to my child for more than 30 mins per week. The legal bills keep coming, and I have no more money to pay. I expect to get supervised parenting time soon (fingers crossed) but given the attorney's fees in this highly contentious case, there is no guarantee that I will regain reasonable custody. <br /><br />My son deserves a mother. Further, he deserves a mother who is mentally in good health, which means a mother who is unencumbered by contentious ongoing legal harrassment. Recently, for example, my ex requested that I pay him nearly $15,000 before he would let me talk to my son. Thankfully, the judge disagreed and granted me phone time, but this small victory is no guarantee of future success.<br /><br />Please help me regain custody of my son. His father has stated that he doesn't think it's important for a child to have two parents. He prefers if I have no custody whatsoever and demands instead that I send him $1000/month in child support. He has requested to have me jailed by the court for my inability to pay. My mental health has been extremely damaged by the ongoing legal harassment and increasingly oppressive orders handed down against me by the judge. <br /><br />I know this is a hard time for everyone due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but anything you can do to help ensure that my son has a mother would be appreciated. I know people think there are free legal aid services, but they are underfunded and unable to assist in highly contentious legal proceedings. I recently met a woman who has not seen her now 6-year-old daughter in 3 years because she does not have money for an attorney. If you think the same can't happen to me, think again. Divorce court is a "pay to play" system. Money talks, and if you are up against a person with deep pockets, it is highly likely that you will lose custody, especially if you are a mother. My state currently favors "father's rights," regardless of what is in the best interest of the child.<br /><br />Will you help?

Justice for Anton

Early in the morning of Wednesday, September 18th we learned about the tragic passing of Ricardo Ron and his loved daughter Camila Ron Ruiz as a result of an unexplained fire at their home in San Francisco.<br /><br />Family, friends, and neighbors are still in shock and mourning this unexpected departure. <br /><br />Camila was a bright student loved by a close community of friends. She had graduated from the University of Santa Cruz and was a first-year Law student at the University of San Francisco.<br /><br />Her father, Ricardo was a dedicated activist known for his unwavering dedication to democracy in Venezuela. <br /><br />On behalf of the Ron family, we are organizing a collection of funds to assist with funeral and legal expenses associated with this tragedy. The funds will be received and administered by Ron's sister, Nakari Ron.<br /><br />Our sincere gratitude to anyone who contributes to this cause. <br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/42158080_1568957994934462_r.jpeg" alt="42158080_1568957994934462_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/42158080_1568957599986756_r.jpeg" alt="42158080_1568957599986756_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/42158080_156895763744507_r.jpeg" alt="42158080_156895763744507_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" />

Yordano, una vez más, nos necesita. Lamentablemente <em>su madera no esta tan fina</em> como cuando sin querer, escribió la crónica de muchas de nuestras vidas. Hoy “<em>el tren de los regresos</em>” nos obliga a devolver, con nuestras donaciones, convertidas en agradecimiento, todo lo que el Artista nos ha regalado a los latinoamericanos, <br /><br />Yordano, el artista, pero también el hombre de carne y hueso, necesita de nuestra ayuda.<br /><br />Hace un par de años Yordano Di Marzo superó “<em>el suelo cubierto de botellas</em>”, una prueba prácticamente imposible: un cáncer de médula ósea ahora inactivo. Después de casi 4 años de quimioterapia, un milagroso trasplante de médula, complejos tratamientos, complicaciones y un aluvión de fármacos, una larga época en la que se le hizo costumbre caer muchas veces y volver a levantarse, Yordano sigue aferrado a la vida, pero necesita un espaldarazo de nosotros. <br /><br />En vísperas de su cumpleaños 66, <em>se siente como de 100 años</em> y no debemos dejar que SU VOZ SE QUIEBRE ni dejarle solo en su batalla. Consecuencia de la enfermedad y el trasplante, el sistema inmunológico de Yordano está comprometido y sólo un costoso tratamiento puede devolverle la fortaleza necesaria. <br /><br />Algunas asociaciones sin fines de lucro como @RDIVenezuela (Red Democrática Internacional, Inc) fomentan la ayuda humanitaria, para aquellos compatriotas venezolanos que han entregado su carrera en pro del acervo cultural.

Miguel Angel Perez 'Funeral

My name is Gabriela Saturno, 36 years old,  Venezuelan living in Miami since 2007 and this is my story:<br /><br />"We have your biopsy results and we found cancerous cells in your Thyroid"<br />As soon as my doctor said those words, I knew that my life, my world will change for ever... <br />At the beginning was like being in a cloud of fog, I couldn't think or process anything and tears filled my eyes... <br />Then, slowly my mind strted to put all in perspective, and the fighter in me took over... I'll fight as hard as possible, I'm stronger than this illness and I'll conquer it.<br />I remembered that two of my school friends went through a process just like this, and they're happy and healthy now.<br />I will survive this! I trust the doctors that are treating me, and with God and my family and friends this journey will be easier...<br />I'm here today asking for your help, cause even if I have insurance, it won't cover all medical and surgical expenses, just an 80%. <br />So if you can help me, I'll really appreciate it... Every dollar count, donate what you can and I'll be forever grateful!<br />*********************<br />Mi nombre es Gabriela Saturno, tengo 36 años y soy Venezolana; vivo en Miami desde el 2007 y esta es mi historia:<br />"Tenemos los resultados de tu biopsia y encontramos células cancerígenas en tu Tiroides" <br />Tan pronto mi doctor dijo esas palabras, supe que mi vida, mi mundo cambiaría para siempre...<br />Al principio fue como estar en una nube de niebla, no podía pensar ni procesar nada, solo sentía como mis ojos se llenaban de lágrimas...<br />Después, poco a poco mi mente comenzó a poner todo en perspectiva y la luchadora que hay en mi salió a flote. Voy a batallar esto con todas mis fuerzas, yo soy mas fuerte que esta enfermedad y se que saldré airosa. <br />Recordé que dos de mis compañeras y amigas del colegio pasaron por un proceso como este y hoy en día están sanas y felices.<br />Voy a sobrevivir! Confío en los médicos que me están tratando, y junto a Dios, mi familia y amigos este viaje será más fácil...<br />Hoy estoy aquí pidiéndoles ayuda, porque aunque tengo seguro médico, no cubre la totalidad de mis gastos médicos y quirúrgicos, solo un 80%. <br />Si esta en sus manos ayudarme, realmente se los agradecería...Cada dólar cuenta, dona lo que puedan y les estaré eternamente agradecida!<br /><br /><img class="not-resizeable" src="https://2dbdd5116ffa30a49aa8-c03f075f8191fb4e60e74b907071aee8.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/5619770_1439243271.991_funddescription.jpg" alt="5619770_1439243271.991_funddescription.j" width="100%" />

Thyroid cancer and expenses fund

Hi, my name is Edgard Bonilla. I have just finished my undergraduate program in Physics at the Simón Bolivar University in Venezuela and I need your help to continue my academic training. I was admitted to the Physics Graduate Program at Stanford University and I am very excited to begin classes in September this year.<br /><br />I very much enjoyed my studies here at Venezuela the last five years and I found the subjects of study in Physics absolutely fascinating. As a consequence, I was able to make a series of achievements along with the fun involved in working in physics. For instance, I won the “Best USB Student” award in 2013, became a founding member of ¿Por Qué Ciencias? (Why sciences?) student group, did research at the Condensed Matter and Complex Systems Laboratory, and my undergraduate project “Networks and Complexity, some Applications” was recently approved with honors.<br /><br />I am proud of having studied at my alma mater, the Simón Bolivar University, as I got an excellent preparation in my undergraduate program. However, as a future researcher, I must explore new horizons and prepare myself to learn about new perspectives and ways of thinking. Therefore I see in the Graduate Program at Stanford a fantastic opportunity to develop my true potential, to continue my education as a scientist, and to learn and grow even more; so that in the future I will be able to apply my knowledge and abilities to help to overcome the challenges and difficulties of our future.<br /><br />Stanford University offers me help in the form of Assistantships to cover my tuition and to account for my living expenses starting the second month of studies. The money to cover the trip to Palo Alto and my expenses during the first month must be covered by myself. The approximated amount is 3,600 USD (1,600 USD the flight ticket + 2000 USD living expenses). For me and my family in Venezuela this is an impossible amount to attain and that is why I am asking for your solidarity and support.<br /><br />The goal of this fundraising campaign is set at 4000 USD to cover for the deductions done by the GoFundMe staff (to which I am sincerely grateful for making this fundraising possible)<br /><br />Finally I want to thank you very much in advance for all the help you could provide me to overcome this financial difficulties. Either for donating to reach the goal and through sharing the link of this campaign. I will keep you informed about everything and will post updates for each step we make towards the goal.<br /><br />A million thanks and best wishes to you all,<br /><br />Edgard Bonilla<br /><br />July 10, 2015<br /><br /><br /><strong>̣___________________________________________________________</strong><br /><br />Hola mi nombre es Edgard Bonilla, acabo de completar mis estudios de pregrado en física en la Universidad Simón Bolívar en Venezuela y necesito su ayuda para poder continuar mi formación académica. Me admitieron para estudiar el doctorado en Física en la Universidad de Stanford en Estados Unidos y estoy muy entusiasmado por comenzar las clases en Septiembre de este año.<br /><br />Disfruté enormemente mi carrera los últimos cinco años y sentí un gran interés en todos los tópicos que estudiamos. Como consecuencia, además de la diversión, he cosechado una serie de logros a través de mi trabajo: en 2013 gané el premio “Mejor Estudiante USB”, participé activamente en la agrupación de divulgación científica ¿Por Qué Ciencias?, me graduaré con un promedio de 4.7655 / 5, participé en una investigación en el Laboratorio de Sistemas Complejos y Materia Condensada, y mi tesis ¨Redes y Complejidad, Algunas Aplicaciones¨ fue aprobada con mención sobresaliente la semana pasada.<br /><br />Le guardo muchísimo cariño a mi Universidad Simón Bolívar y siento que me preparó excelentemente en mi pregrado, sin embargo, como investigador debo explorar nuevos horizontes y maneras innovadoras de comprender el mundo que nos rodea. Es por eso que veo en el programa de Stanford una oportunidad fantástica para poder desarrollar mi potencial verdadero, continuar mi formación como científico y poder crecer y aprender más para así luego aplicar mis conocimientos en los retos y problemas que nos depara el futuro.<br /><br />La Universidad de Stanford me ofrece ayuda en forma de beca/trabajo (Assistanships), que cubre la matrícula y además sirve para pagar mis gastos de habitación y alimentación a partir del segundo mes de mi estadía. El traslado hasta Palo Alto y los gastos del primer mes corren por mi cuenta y el costo aproximado es de 3,600 dólares (1,600 USD vuelo + 2,000 USD de costos de vida). Para mi familia y para mí nos es imposible reunir esa cantidad y por ello recurro a su solidaridad y apoyo.<br /><br />La meta fijada para esta campaña es de 4,000 USD para tomar en cuenta las deducciones hechas por el equipo de GoFundMe (a quienes agradezco enormemente por hacer esta campaña posible).<br /><br />Finalmente, quiero agradecer de antemano toda la ayuda que puedan proveerme para superar esta barrera económica, mediante su aporte monetario y a través de la difusión de esta campaña. Los mantendré informados de cada avance y actualizaremos por cada meta conseguida.<br /><br />Un millón de gracias y les deseo lo mejor,<br /><br />Edgard Bonilla<br /><br />10 de Julio de 2015
