My name is Hylton, and I am raising funds for myself as I recover from <strong>spinal surgery</strong>. This has been a very difficult season in my life, because after my surgery I am unable to work for the next few months. As much as I want to keep pushing forward and handling everything on my own, the reality is that being out of work has left me without enough income to keep up with my regular monthly expenses. I never imagined I would be in a position where I would need to ask for this kind of help, but right now I truly need support while I heal. 
<br>
<br>
 The funds from this fundraiser will help me cover <strong>daily expenses and necessities</strong> during my recovery, including the basic costs of getting through each month while I am unable to earn a steady income. I have lived a life of service and have helped people in many ways, always trying to show love and support to those in need. Now, I am humbly asking for that same kindness in return. If you are able to donate, share, or simply keep me in your thoughts, it would mean so much to me. Every bit of support will help me focus on healing and getting back on my feet.

Help Hylton Recover After Spinal Surgery

<div>My name is Heather “The Heat” Hardy, and I gave everything I had to boxing. A Brooklyn fighter, single mother, WBC International champion, and former WBO Featherweight World Champion, I built my career the hard way—round by round, fight by fight, often while working and raising my daughter. I fought in an era when women had to force doors open, and I always tried to give fans championship moments they’d never forget.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now I’m facing the hardest fight of my life outside the ring. After years of taking punches for the sport I loved, I suffered a traumatic brain injury. The damage has affected my health, my vision, and my ability to work consistently enough to cover basic living expenses and necessities.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If my fights ever inspired you, if you cheered for my championships, or if you've ever given everything to a job only to have it take your health and leave you without help, please consider donating and sharing this fundraiser.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution helps me to meet my immediate living needs while I focus on my health, stability, and the next chapter of my life after boxing. To everyone who has ever cheered for me, stood by me, or shares this today, your support means the world to me, and I’m grateful beyond words. Thank you.

Help Heather Hardy: A Champion Fighting Her Toughest Battle

Danny, Linda’s brother-in-law, is facing an incredibly tough road ahead. He recently underwent surgery to remove a brain tumor and will soon begin radiation and chemotherapy treatments. On top of this, Danny was the victim of embezzlement, losing his entire life savings. Despite the efforts of detectives, it’s unlikely he’ll ever recover those funds. This devastating combination of medical and financial hardship has left Danny in a situation no one should have to face alone. 
<br>
<br>
 Danny is the kindest and most sincere person you could ever meet. He’s the hardest working person Linda knows, always putting others before himself and never asking for help. In fact, he would probably be upset to know this GoFundMe was started—but it was done out of love, because Danny deserves support during this difficult time. The funds raised will go directly toward his medical bills, chemotherapy, radiation treatments, and the insurance deductible, helping to ease the burden so he can focus on healing. Danny has a huge journey ahead of him, and anything will help make it a little easier as he faces these challenges. 
<br>
<br>
 If you know Danny, you know how much he means to his family and friends. Any support, whether big or small, will make a difference and show Danny that he’s not alone. Thank you for considering a donation and for sharing this fundraiser with others who may want to help.

Help Danny Through His Medical Journey

<div>We are setting up this GoFundMe for <strong>Kelly Kazel Spillett</strong>. She's a wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, etc. She has a pure love for animals and nature and may have the best green thumb I have ever seen.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>She has two beautiful daughters, Cheyenne and Shelby, with her husband Kenny, who has watched Kelly battle cancer for 17 years.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Her daughter Cheyenne explains it best: For 17 years, my mom has been battling a horrible disease called endometrial stromal sarcoma, a rare and relentless cancer that has taken so much from her—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Her strength continues to amaze me, but this long fight has taken a real toll. Recently, the cancer has grown significantly and is affecting her everyday life. Because of her current condition, my mom is unable to work and needs constant care. My dad and grandma have taken on the role of being full-time caregivers, doing everything they can to support her.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My mom is currently in the process of getting set up to start a new treatment, radiosurgery, which will be taking place in the city. She's unable to take the train at this time, which means lengthy drives back and forth into Manhattan.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>To help lighten the financial strain and surround her with love, we have brought back new Team Kelly shirts. <strong>20% of all sales will go directly to my mom.</strong> Every shirt purchased not only helps with medical and living expenses, but also shows my mom that she's not fighting alone.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We have also had many people asking to make direct donations to help with her financial burden.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Whether you know her personally or just want to support someone bravely fighting a rare cancer, your contribution means the world.</strong> Even sharing this post helps more than you know. Thank you for all of the love and support; we appreciate it so much!!!

Standing with Kelly Through Her Cancer Journey

<div>After a 6 year battle with cancer and chemotherapy, our brother and friend, Wesley Ackley transcended the earthly realm on <a href="https://riverheadlocal.com/2023/01/27/wesley-dean-ackley-27/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">January 24th</a> of 2023. Surgery had left Wes paralyzed from the waist down, but his strength and will fueled his recovery, allowing him to skateboard once again while the cancer was in remission. He would say "I cant feel my feet," but was soon back to beating me in games of S.K.A.T.E – a game where skaters set and repeat each other's tricks. He even <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj8p22epfyD/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">filmed tricks for a skate video</a> during that short timeframe, which is no easy feat to begin with. To preserve Wes's legacy, we are <a href="https://www.newsday.com/long-island/suffolk/teen-takes-on-riverhead-town-over-skateboarding-fee-j20503" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">continuing his work</a> advocating for the beloved skatepark we grew up skating at together, and raising funds to rebuild it. When we were kids in 2010, Wes took on the town's decision to charge skaters a yearly fee of $100, overturning that decision and eventually making the park free for everyone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/73012033_1684677913587465_r.png" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, the skatepark has faced additional challenges. In 2016, <a href="https://riverheadnewsreview.timesreview.com/2016/07/75333/riverhead-town-shrinks-skate-park-adding-pickleball-court/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">much of the skatepark's ramps were removed</a> to make room for pickleball courts <strong>that were never built</strong>. The resulting swath of vacant cement has sat unused since. Wes, his brother Jake, our friends, and I would muse about the park in its heyday, imagining ways to revitalize our beloved skatepark. Now that the park is <a href="https://riverheadnewsreview.timesreview.com/2023/02/114692/town-board-supports-bid-to-rename-skate-park-in-memory-of-wesley-ackley/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">being renamed in honor of Wes</a>, it is the perfect time to begin raising funds for this project.
</div>
<div><br />

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With this project, we can do something truly amazing, building a new park for all skill levels. The current pre-fabricated ramps are an uninspired design that caters to upper and mid-level skatepark users. Many of the park's attendees are youngsters, and the current design does not foster a learning environment. Additionally, using cement ramps we would avoid exorbitant upkeep costs. The town would have paid a staggering $120,000 in repairs on the outdated wooden ramps before deciding to remove them instead. Our fundraising will afford us a timeless solution, increasing tourism, and helping to create booming business opportunities. For proof, look at the town of Montauk's newly renovated skatepark which has fueled new, prosperous businesses since its opening less than a year ago.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have deep gratitude for your attention to this matter, and appreciate any donations toward this noble cause.

</div>
<div><strong>Short Version:</strong> Wesley Ackley passed away after a 6 year battle with cancer. His hometown skatepark which he helped save with his activism is being renamed "Wesley Dean Ackley Skatepark." After much of the ramps were removed in 2016 due to their state of disrepair, Wes his friends always spoke of the possibilities that can happen to replace the old ramps. We are raising funds to get a new park built as soon as possible, starting with the empty space where the ramps used to be.

Donate to rebuild Wesley Dean Ackley Skatepark

<div>For anyone who knows Coach Leaf, you have been blessed with meeting a man who literally dedicated his life to others. From his commitment to the military as a young man to then dedicating his life to not just his family but  to young men and women as a coach and mentor, sacrifice is all Coach Leaf has lived, a life of sacrificing his personal time for others! 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Coach has been dealt a hand that was unexpected and truly not deserving, but we all know that God's plan is truly greater than ours and this will work all for Coach's good. But in the interim, we are asking for support, however you can offer it, from $1 and up.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Coach is fighting the only battle worth fighting, and that is to overcome the big "C" and come out with the victory, but we need your help to support his true cause, to continue to support his family and those who have relied so heavily on Coach's presence day in and out. 

</div>

Join Coach Leaf's Fight for Victory

<div>Our family has suffered an unimaginable loss. Adrian Gilmore, a beloved wife, mother, daughter and sister, friend, teacher and coach, passed away unexpectedly, and she leaves behind her husband Tim Gilmore and their precious children, who are now walking a difficult road.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Adrian’s life was a beautiful reflection— full of grace, strength, and a deep love for others. She poured her heart into everything she did, whether she was raising her children, nurturing her students, or guiding her athletes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Adrian wasn’t just a teacher in the classroom or a coach on the field; she was a mentor, a listener, and a light in so many lives. She believed in people, lifted them up, and encouraged them to be their best. At home, she was the heart of her family; faithful, selfless, and strong. Her absence is deeply felt by all who knew and loved her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, her husband Tim is walking through an unimaginable season, doing his best to care for their family while grieving this profound loss. We are coming together to support him and the children with funeral expenses, daily needs, and time to heal — emotionally, spiritually, and financially.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We believe in the power of community and the comfort that comes through Christ. If you are able to give, know that your gift will help ease this burden. If you’re not able to give, please pray for Tim, Kayla, Cameron, Colby — for peace, strength, and moments of hope even in sorrow.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your compassion, your faith, and your love.

Mike Thomas Recovery Fund

<div><br />
</div>
<div>On Sunday, March 12, 2023, following the close of the USA Muaythai National Championship, Dan “Bam Bam” Stell and his colleagues left the Denver, Colorado Hotel to get dinner, a dinner that would change his life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Upon entering the restaurant, something didn’t feel right with Bam. When Bam exhibited symptoms including nausea and blurred vision, his colleagues were prompted to call 911.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The responding paramedics rushed him to Denver’s Swedish Medical Center where the attending physicians determined that Bam had suffered a series of strokes. Swedish Medical Center is the only center in the world that dedicates its care to the management of vascular malformations in all anatomic locations.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Bam’s wife, Elaine Jojola, was immediately contacted and caught the next available flight from Sacramento to Denver where she continues to remain by his side.
</div>
<div>Bam will remain in Denver over the next couple weeks so that doctors may continue to run tests and monitor his recovery, beginning with physical therapy. Elaine’s priority is supporting Bam through his recovery and has arranged local accommodations indefinitely until Bam is stable enough to return home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Colleagues and friends have set up this GoFundMe page to help cover the medical expenses, travel expenses, loss of income, rehabilitation, and relocation costs for Dan “Bam Bam” Stell.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a lifelong martial artist, and world class combative sports official for more than 35 years, Dan has reached so many through mentorship, leadership, and friendship. Known world-wide as a referee, Bam has also been a trainer, a promoter, and an undefeated fighter. At heart, Bam is still a fighter and Elaine confirmed that Bam is “putting in the work now probably more than ever.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is during times like this that the combative sports and martial arts communities come together to support one of our own.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you would like to help with the expenses related to Bam’s emergency care, your donation is greatly appreciated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Fight fans look forward to seeing Bam Bam back in the ring again very soon, doing what he loves.
</div>
<div><br />

Support for Bams Stroke Recovery

<div>Hi everyone,
</div>
<div>I'm looking for some help to get to Nationals in Colorado.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After the previous event, in which we did not win the fight, we did walk away with the victory after putting on a spectacular performance and qualifying for nationals.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is an <strong>excellent opportunity for all of us because once I win Nationals at 178 lb </strong>(which is the weight class I typically compete at), <strong>we will then be qualified to represent the United States of America in Bangkok, Thailand, for the Muay Thai Olympics sometime this year.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>I appreciate any help I can get from you, whether it's a like, a share, or even a donation if you have the monetary ability to help me with that.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am very blessed to have all of you in my life, and I appreciate all of your help and support. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you,
</div>

Nationals Fundraiser

<div>Hello, 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have my 6th title fight coming up in Indiana on December 9th. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the promotor cannot pay the cost to have me and the team fly out and board for this fight. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are looking for the bare minimum for our flights and boarding for 4 days (December 7-10th, weight-ins are December 8th, and the fight is the 9th ). 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For fairness, we will pay for our food and rental vehicle, but the flight and hotel are the hard part of it all.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for the help,
</div>

<div>Today, I am a proud Ukrainian. While my family came to the United States in 1991, I was born in Chernivtsi, Ukraine in 1983. Ukrainians are proud and brave people who deserve our help in their time of need. This unjust attack on Ukraine and humanity at large is devastating and the Ukrainian people need our support. <strong>Our family is starting this fund to help provide immediate support and we will be matching up to $3 million dollars.</strong>
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>While we are witnessing the bravery of Ukrainians, we are also bearing witness to the unimaginable burden of those who have chosen safety. Countless amounts of people have left everything they know and love behind to seek refuge. With nothing but what they could carry, these Ukrainian refugees are in need of housing and supplies right away.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>Through GoFundMe.org, this fundraiser will provide an immediate impact on refugee and humanitarian aid efforts. The fund will benefit Flexport.org and Airbnb.org, two organizations who are actively on the ground providing immediate help to those who need it most.
</div>

Airbnb.org operates independently and leverages Airbnb, Inc.’s technology, services, and other resources at no charge to carry out Airbnb.org’s charitable purpose.

This sparked a movement and marked the beginning of a program that allows Hosts on Airbnb to provide stays for people in times of need. Since then, the program has evolved to focus on emergency response and to help provide stays to evacuees, relief workers, refugees, asylum seekers, and most recently, frontline workers fighting the spread of COVID-19. Since then, Hosts have offered to open up their homes and helped provide accommodations to 100,000 people in times of need. Airbnb.org is a separate and independent entity from Airbnb, Inc.

<div>Dearest friends and family members,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fundraiser is on behalf of the Lane family and our beloved friend Tim “Heal the Pain” Lane. Some of you have reached out and asked how you can help during this time. Please know that your support means everything to us as we navigate this heartbreaking moment. The funds collected here will go towards paying for funeral expenses to honor his life, carrying out his final wishes and bringing peace of mind to his loved ones.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tim was a life coach and mentor to so many of us. He was the most humble and optimistic person in any room. Always motivated for a brighter future, he welcomed many people into his life with the biggest, brightest smile and that contagiously positive energy he was well known for. He was truly one of a kind. Tim was never afraid to shed tears or be vulnerable. He helped hundreds of people get out the darkest times of their lives by allowing them to feel heard, secure, safe, and above all else- <strong>LOVED</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tim loved his family more than anything. We know that he also loved his family at Xtreme Couture, Merging Vets and Players, TruFusion, and Rocksteady among the many other organizations and communities that he was a part of. Please keep them in your prayers as they navigate this difficult time. Thank you again for your support, and as our dear friend and peaceful warrior would say, “Keep Hope Alive!"

My brother Lance was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer 2 years ago and unfortunately after a long and brave battle fighting it, the cancer won. He doesn't have much more time left and his wife Helena, daughter Eva age 13 and Ethan age 11 have a long road ahead of them and many financial difficulties to go along with   supporting a family as a widowed mom.   Lance was a beloved member of his community and was always there to lend a helping hand to anyone that needed it. A true gentle giant, who had nothing bad to say about anyone,  and his life is being cut short way too soon.  Any donation to help them during this difficult time  would be appreciated to help pay for their rent, food, utilities etc. Thank you.

<p>January 17, 2020: It’s unfortunate that I say this... Sitan Gym NY, owned by world renowned Aziz Nabih, was just part of a huge fire of the building above the gym. 
</p>

<p>Aziz has had this gym opened since 1990’s,  and now him and his students are left with nothing, no gym and no equipment as their equipment has been destroyed to stope the fire.
</p>

<p>Aziz has helped many fighters, and coaches aroundthe world. I hope we can come together as a Muay Thai community to help in any little way that we can. 
</p>

<p>Blessings to all<br />...............<br />UPDATE<br />...............<br />January 18, 2020: in 24 hours I have seen Sitan Gym as no more, to the Muay Thai community all around the world come together to help bring hope for a new, and stronger Sitan Gym. With all the money raised so far I pray this helps Aziz and his students see a new home. We all know how expensive it is to find a business property in New York City, let alone make sure construction is ready goo to go for business, and equipment is there for students, not to mention to be able to RE promote the business location due to any members they (Sitan Gym) might lose for relocating. 
</p>

<p>I might not be with Sitan Gym, but I, Rami Ibrahim, have Sitan Gym in my heart. So on behalf of everyone from Aziz to everyone else from Sitan, I would like to thank everyone for supporting this cause, for your donations, and for your prayers!
</p>

<p><br />Blessings to all

On Sunday September the 30th a beloved husband, devoted father, and life long friend passed away unexpectedly.  A very special man whose life touched so many in a very special way had the opportunity to touch four more lives on Friday, October 5th by being a hero even after death and donating his organs. After a week of waiting and also dealing with trauma and devastation they were <span style="float:none;background-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;font-family:Lato, sans-serif;font-size:16.93px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:20.31px;text-align:left;text-decoration:none;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;">able to find matches through Live on New York</span> (an organ donation foundation) and he was able to give his heart, liver and kidneys to people who would not have survived other wise. Although Ricky had faced a life threatening hurdle that has now taken his kind and beautiful soul from his incredible and amazing family at just 50 years young, his five children and beloved wife find so much strength  knowing that their dad and husband left this world, leaving such beautiful and selfless gifts behind. This still surprising occurrence has left them feeling alone in tackling the financial burdens this has placed on them. In life, situations happen without warning and unfortunately force people to put their backs against the wall, needing to reach out for some help. So I come before so many on their behalf asking those to lend a helping hand to Ricky's family so that they can honor him with the proper burial that he and his family deserves.  <br /><br /><br /><br /> His family is left feeling lost and alone. On their behalf, I am asking for help in this desperate time of need. He left behind five children who have been through a tremendous amount of pain.  They want to be able to give him a proper burial and have sincere closure. He always went above and beyond to help those in need, without any judgement.  We are asking you to help the family and find a way for them to have a burial for a man that died a hero. Anything will help.  <br />.

PETER "SUGARFOOT" CUNNINGHAM - LEGENDARY FULL CONTACT FIGHTER - HAS SEVERE HIP DYSPLASIA IN BOTH HIPS, AND REQUIRES AN IMMEDIATE DUAL HIP REPLACEMENT SURGERY<br /><strong>(please donate or share on Facebook)</strong><br /><br />(this GoFundMe campaign is organized and managed by Peter Cunningham's friends and not Peter himself, but is linked to his facebook account)<br /><br /><br />To those who know Peter Cunningham as <em>Sugarfoot</em>, an undefeated 7-time World Champion kickboxer, you may know him as a supremely skilled technician who is one of the best to ever do it.<br /><img class="not-resizable" src="https://2dbdd5116ffa30a49aa8-c03f075f8191fb4e60e74b907071aee8.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/9779939_1459386416.3423_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" />To those who trained with Peter, you know him as a great teacher and Sensei, who is always passing down his immense knowledge to his students, and who is always in the gym teaching anyone willing to learn, from little kids to professional fighters. To his family and friends, Peter is a unique and dear individual, who is unconditional in his loyalty, love, support and wisdom.  <br /><br />For everyone who has ever met Peter, it is impossible to forget his infectious smile and warm and welcoming personality.  Peter is a humble and genuine person, who always leaves a positive impression on anyone he crosses paths with. Peter was a legendary fighter but is an even better human being.  <img class="not-resizable" src="https://2dbdd5116ffa30a49aa8-c03f075f8191fb4e60e74b907071aee8.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/9779939_1457496150.9203_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" />In addition to his fighting credentials, Peter is also a successful trainer. His current and former students include World Champion fighters in boxing, kickboxing and MMA, UFC fighters, and well-known celebrities. Most recently Peter has been training the US National kickboxing team, bringing home several gold medals in international tournaments. <br /><img class="not-resizable" src="https://2dbdd5116ffa30a49aa8-c03f075f8191fb4e60e74b907071aee8.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/9779939_1459386736.111_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" />Unfortunately, after many years of fighting and teaching, some of the old injuries started to take their toll. Over the last few years, first his right and then his left leg gradually became less mobile and started to cause great pain. Because of lack of proper health insurance, the injuries were not taken care of at an early stage and ended up progressing to a point where currently Peter is unable to walk without crutches and can only move a few inches at a time. His hips are causing him a lot of pain and every day his condition is getting worse.<br /><br />Peter is not the one to ask others for assistance, but he urgently needs our help. He has severe hip dysplasia in both hips and needs an immediate dual hip replacement. Our initial goal was $49,000 to cover both surgeries, as well as other costs related to the procedures and rehabilitation.  However we were able to find a more cost efficient alternative, so we have changed our total goal to $30,000.  We changed our goal again to $27,000 once we were able to tally up all the costs for the first surgery and estimate the total for both procedures.  <br /><img class="not-resizable" src="https://2dbdd5116ffa30a49aa8-c03f075f8191fb4e60e74b907071aee8.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/9779939_1459386793.558_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" />Please help us spread the word, and if you are able, please donate to help Peter get his hips replaced. Anything you can contribute will help tremendously and would be extremely appreciated, no amount is too small. Otherwise please share this on Facebook or Twitter, that would be very helpful as well.<br /><br />Thank you very much for your kindness and generosity, and for supporting a truly great individual!<br /><br /><br /><br /><em>Please click on the following links for more info:</em><br /><br /><em><strong><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Cunningham_(kickboxer)" target="_blank">Peter "Sugarfoot" Cunningham Wikipedia</a> </strong></em><br /><br /><em><strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqHRDALe6mU" target="_blank">Video highlights of Peter's career</a> <br /><br /><a href="http://teamusakickboxing.org/1868-2" target="_blank">Team USA Kickboxing</a> </strong></em><br /><br /><em><strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmN4r_UDKKw&amp;feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">A Message from German "The Bat" Baltazar</a> </strong></em><em><strong><br /><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/sugarfootfanpage/" target="_blank">Peter "Sugarfoot" Cunningham Facebook Fan Page</a> </strong></em><br /><br /><br /><iframe media_type="0" media_id="bcLf1FnbC7I" class="youtube-replace" title="YouTube video player" style="margin-bottom:20px;width:560px;height:315px;" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/bcLf1FnbC7I/?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="1"></iframe><br />A personal Thank You from Pete Sugarfoot Cunningham

Urgent Help for Peter Cunningham   

My name is Brooks Mason and I have been a student of the Martial Arts for as long as I can remember.  It is my dream to open martial arts schools in the inner cities to help the most disadvantaged children gain the mental, emotional and physical strengths the Martial Arts have provided me.<br /><br />Opening schools in those areas and training future black belts and instructors to carry on those lessons across the country could be just the beginning of helping people help themselves.  <br /><br />The biggest challenge to achieving this is goal is breaking through the language and cultural barriers that will exist<br /><br />I have been studying Spanish for two years and now I would like to step it up by spending 6 weeks fully immersed in the language and culture.<br /><br />I would spend 6 hours, 5 days a week, studying at a Costa Rican Immersion School and then dedicate my evenings training at local gyms with Milton Castro, owner of the largest Martial Arts school in Central America,  as well as others mentioned in the video.  It will be an intense program, but it is what I need to do in order to come back to the United States and help those who will benefit from the Martial Arts the most.  I believe that <strong>there is no better instrument than the Martials Arts to positively effect the lives of inner city children.<br /><br /></strong>The fund raising I am doing through this campaign is an all or nothing attempt.  If I do not raise enough money to participate in this program, your donation will be returned to you.  <br /><br />I believe there are a lot of like-minded people who would pursue the same goals if they were able.<br /> <br />I deeply and humbly appreciate your consideration and support of this goal.<br /><br />Please watch and share my video to understand my passion. <br /><br />Thank You, <br /><br />Brooks

Brooks' Spanish Immersion School

As many of you know I am an avid Animal Lover, I have 4 rescue dogs &amp; 1 cat. I am coming to you today to ask for help to save Zoe's life. I found her at Dollar General a little over 2 years ago.  And she stole my heart, she is the most loving little girl. And I believe she was put in front of me for a reason.  She loves to just sit in my lap and cuddle, she will talk and sing to me and give me kisses.<br /><br />Unfortunately about 6 months ago Zoe began holding fluid in her abdomen, we did Heart Worm testing which came back negative. Xrays which didnt show anything, mainly because of the fluid.  So we sent off uranalasis and the fluid to be analized. It did come back with liver inzymes in it. So Dr. Mary with Oakwood Animal Hospital started her on Prednisilone, Lasix, Denamarin, and we scheduled an Ultrasound with Woodlands Veterinary Referal in Watkinsville, GA. <br /><br />The result came back with a Mas next to her liver, tucked under her stomach. The Medications did good at keeping the fluid off for a little while, but the fluid is still building up. Which I have to have drained every couple of weeks.I took her to see about getting Accupunture done to help as well( Murryville Veterinary). But we needed to have another Ultrasound done first to see if there was any change. There was also a possibility it could be a torn liver/liver lobe. So Dr. McQuaid that  specializes in Accupunture was kind enough not to start Zoe on something until we got a reading from the second Ultrasound, because it could do more harm than good. <br /><br /> We did a follow up Ultrasound yesterday 1/12/15, and the Mas is still there and it looks like it has grown a little.  The next step is to do chest x-rays, re-test the fluid and blood work before surgery can be done to remove the Mas/tumor. And I will continue to have to keep her on the Medications, vitamins, supplements, and make her food daily, and have her fluid drained as often as possible.<br /><br />So I am coming to you for help to help save Zoe's life, I have spent every penny I can to help her.  Any of you with an Animal knows that diagnostics, medications,vet visits are not cheap. I would not be asking if I didnt trueliy believe there is hope!! The surgery will cost between $1000-$1500 dollars . I need to start the pre-surgery work ASAP, xrays, fluid testing, bloodwork, to get everything cleared before surgery can be set, which will cost anywhere from $500-$700 roughly. This is just an estimate.  Plus the cost for meds and continued vet visits each week.<br /><br />So if you can please donate it will mean more to me and Zoe than you will ever know!! And money not spent or left over if there is any will be donated to "Angels Among Us" Animal Charity. <br /><br />I will be glad to produce any vet bills or expences incoured to help Zoe, I have never done this before. But I truely need help and dont know where else to turn. I thank you for you time in reading this.  Any amount will help, $5, $10, whatever you can give.<br /><br />I believe things are put in our path for a reason, and Zoe found me and has been a little fur angel for me.  :)<br /><br />Thank You,<br />Trisha Leo
