Help Frank Torre get two new hips
Frank is a single dad who relies on his summer income to fill the income gap. He runs camps and does a lot of private lessons. Clearly, he will not be able to this year. These funds will help to pay his medical copays, rent and expenses that would normally be paid by his summer camps and lessons. He will be staying with my other sister since she lives in a single-story home.

Help 10 yr old Mila Beat Osteosarcoma Bone Cancer
Our beautiful 10 year old daughter Mila was diagnosed with a rare form of Osteosarcoma (bone cancer) in November of 2021. Since then she’s endured 28 weeks of inpatient chemotherapy (3-5 days at a time) and a complex limb salvage surgery over the course of 7 grueling months. She was cancer-free for 6 months following.
Unfortunately, her cancer returned, requiring a second limb salvage surgery to save her arm and remove the tumor. Due to the aggressiveness of the cancer, as well as Mila’s case profile, she has an extremely poor prognosis, especially without additional treatment.

School rocked by breast cancer again…
Just 1 month after losing one of their own to breast cancer, the teachers and staff of Franklin Academy Charter school once again have one of their own diagnosed with breast cancer. Cathe Labott, their new school Registrar now faces the same battle, and none of her friends and coworkers plan to lose anyone again. The outlook looks good if all goes well, but the toll financially and physically will be tough. Financial help can help her not worry as much, and keeping stress away is one of the best ways to heal. So, her friends started this GO FUND ME account to help offset the costs that the insurance of a school worker can’t cover. She CAN beat this.

Stop Bow Riding and Make Life Vests Mandatory for Children Under 12 years old in Florida
Currently, Florida law requires kids six years old and under to wear a PFD on any vessel under 26ft. This is the youngest upper limit of all the other states. Considering Florida was reported to be the state with the most boating accidents in 2021, why haven’t we changed the laws? Since 2003, falling overboard has been the leading type of fatal accident with drowning in Florida. Of the drowning victims, 88% were not wearing a life jacket.

Our Beautiful Alexis
I am a close family friend who is raising money for Alexis’ memorial and her two boys. We are all so grieved at her untimely death. Alexis was 40 years young and very healthy. A few months ago she found out she had a benign tumor that needed to be removed from near her pituitary gland because it was pushing on her ocular nerve. She had surgery Wednesday, March 15, 2023 but they were only able to remove 80% of the tumor. The decision was made to remove the remaining 20% on Friday, March 17, 2023. Unfortunately there were complications. She had a massive stroke and hemorrhaged. Her brain put itself into a coma and she would eventually fall asleep in death early Monday morning on March 20, 2023.

Help support the Patria & Delgado family
On March 1st, my father, David Patria, was informed by his doctors that he had a rare malignant tumor, Chordoma, in his knee. Chordoma is usually found in your spine or skull, which makes his case that more rare. His doctors told him that the tumor was too big to be operated on, so he needed to go through sessions of radiation to minimize it before it could be surgically removed. On April 14th, my dad went into surgery to remove the tumor. Despite the sessions of radiation, the mass extended from his knee to his upper thigh, making the operation long and trivial. After his operation, he was mandated to stay two nights in the hospital for observation. Once he was discharged, my dad relied on a walker to get him from the bed to the bathroom. He has been in extreme pain since he began recovery, but is slowly feeling better and able to walk more. His recovery will last a minimum of two months, and he will not be able to work.

David Moores Medical Expenses
David has recently been rushed to the emergency room for a seizure, which was caused by a brain tumor, that we did not previously know about. He is having emergency surgery to remove the tumor, and will possibly need chemo and radiation after that as well. David is the center of our family. We have filled up the hospital waiting room each and every day since he has been admitted. That is how much he is loved. He is a father, a brother, a son, an uncle and an amazing role model to my son, who looks up to him dearly. I do not want my Uncle, or his children Brandi and Michael to have to stress at all about the costs of piling medical expenses during this rough time.

Cancer Sucks, Support Kevin’s Fight
Our dear friend, Marine Corps Veteran and pilot, Kevin Yip, was unexpectedly diagnosed with a very rare cancer at the end of 2022. After months of tests, hospitalizations and various consultations from multidisciplinary teams, they finally determined that he has a rare blood cancer and a cell mutation that is similar to Leukemia. After tons of research, and lots of prayer, Kevin and his family have opted to try an experimental cancer treatment plan called antineoplaston therapy. The total expected cost of this kind of treatment is in the range of $120,000 -$360,000 and lasts around 8-12 months.

Natalia passed away leaving three young children
My daughter-in-law passed. Natalia was a mother to three wonderful children. She was born with poor health, but she never let it stop her from living life to the fullest. Unfortunately, she was taken suddenly to the hospital on Jan 2nd complaining about weakness, and after a fierce battle, she succumbed to heart failure on Jan 17th. This death was not expected, and it is surreal that I am writing this letter. She is survived by her husband, David, and their young children, Tali (3), Yakov (8), and Elan (12). Throughout a lifetime, you experience many heartaches. I thought I was prepared for this, but nothing could prepare me for watching my son explain to his children that their mother has gone to Heaven. Seeing the confusion in my granddaughter’s eyes because she is too young to understand but senses something is wrong. Watching Tali panic when her brother Yakov is just old enough to understand but cries hysterically because, at 8, but can’t comprehend his mom is gone. The oldest, Elan, who sensed it was coming, tries to be supportive but is scared and refuses to cry as he comforts his sibling.

Help Anamaria fight off a rare cancer
We created this GoFundMe page to help Anamaria and her kids through this challenging time because even despite chemotherapy, Anamaria continues to work from home when she feels up to it. However, she now does not have the energy to work every day, drive the kids to school and take herself to the hospital for treatments. Anamaria has never smoked. She doesn’t drink. She has never abused drugs and has always eaten healthily. To quote the Oncologist… “We don’t understand why she got this type of cancer; it’s just the cards dealt in life….”

Rich’s Recovery
Hi, my name is Shauna…my sister Melissa & I are fundraising to help our stepfather, who had a serious, life-threatening accident last weekend. He has suffered severe brain & head trauma. He is currently sedated in the ICU at our local trauma center on a vent, feeding tube, etc. The extent of the damage done is still unknown as we wait patiently for him to be cleared to begin to come off the sedative medications and for him to wake up. The doctors do acknowledge that Rich will need months of intense inpatient and outpatient therapy, and the cost of those therapies to get rehabilitated is outrageous yet necessary. Our stepdad is a music teacher…he teaches children…whom we know are missing him terribly. He is a provider to our mother and will not be able to return to work. The extent of the long-term injury is still unknown but is affecting our mother now with no income to pay, prepare for the hospital bills and then onto the extensive therapies needed for Rich to recover. He will be solely depend on our mother when he was the sole provider before this tragic accident. Please help if you can- we love him so much and need financial help to carry on bills, rent, medical bills, therapies etc. as we patiently await Rich’s recovery. Thank you.

Please Help the Glidewell Family
The evening of Monday, December 12th, Austin narrowly escaped the unspeakable and came out alive in a serious car accident while going from store to store looking for formula. While driving straight, another car shot across the road and directly impacted with such force that Austin’s car then flew through a bus stop. On that night, Austin was seen not able to move with hundreds of glass pieces all over his body that cut into his skin. During the holidays especially, it’s important to support others and families in need and we ask that you support Austin and his family with prayers and any amount of monetary donation you can give.

Hi, I’m fundraising for my dear friend, Brie Romano, who has been battling breast cancer.
With cancer comes a lot of stress: not only physical/mental stressors, but significant financial pressures. My goal is to help relieve the financial pressures from appointments and other treatments, so Brie can just focus on being the warrior she is, to conquer her cancer through chemo, other treatments, and surgeries.

Help Lacey through treating stage 4 colon cancer
On Thanksgiving I went to the emergency room for severe stomach pains and through a whirlwind of tests, procedures and surgeries found out I have stage 4 colon cancer. Before leaving the hospital they preformed an illeostomy and fashioned me with an ostomy bag to bypass my colon. Treatment will be long and hard on me and my family, so any help financially will lesson at least one of the stresses.

Medical Bill Relief for Dina
Hello, my name is Julie, and I am starting this fundraiser for Dina Irizarry. Dina had a major surgery in early August where a cyst was pushing on her spinal cord. Unfortunately, due to complications removing it, her thoracic lymph node was ruptured in the process. She now has to undergo another surgery and has been staying in the hospital, restricted to limited amounts of water until they have an opening to complete the 2nd surgery. Dina is the type of person that would never ask for help, even when she needs it most. She has two wonderful boys that she raises on her own, and they are the light of her life. She’s a wonderful mother, co-worker, and friend. Any amount will help ease the stress of the sky high medical bills. Thank you for taking the time to listen 🙂

Help Autumn Get A Service Dog
Hello everyone! My name is Ashley Taylor and I created this fundraiser to help my daughter get a service dog. My daughter, whose name is Autumn, developed tics when she was 16 years old. We took her to her primary care physician who referred her to a neurologist. The neurologist tried every medication made for this disorder but they all dropped her blood pressure to dangerously low levels. So she wasn’t able to continue taking them. Right after her 18th birthday she finally got a diagnosis of Tourette’s Syndrome. You have to have a verbal AND motor tic for a year before you can be diagnosed with Tourette’s.

Jared’s Recovery
n September 28, 2021, Jared was on his way to work when another vehicle travelling at a high rate of speed struck him from behind. The impact from the collision sent him into a lane of on-coming traffic, causing a head-on collision. All of the airbags deployed, the passenger side was crushed, and Jared had to be cut out of the vehicle. He was taken to the hospital for breathing difficulty and eventually transferred to UMC in New Orleans where he was admitted to the Trauma ICU. The driver who caused the accident, which totaled 4 cars and hospitalized 5 victims, was grossly underinsured. Having only the Louisiana state minimum for insurance coverage means Jared has been left with a hefty medical bill. He is still undergoing both physical and occupational therapy and will continue to incur many more medical bills as a result of this accident. Additionally, Jared will remain out of work and on disability in the months to come. Please consider donating even the smallest amount to help Jared pay his mountain of medical bills.

I never thought that we would be in this situation. I always helped others. I always gave what I could. I always did what was right. I worked hard. I’ve worked since I was a kid. I’ve always had multiple jobs and it feels as though the rug was pulled from underneath me. Our life savings has dwindled down these last few months and it seems all hope is lost. But I will tell you this. We are strong. We are fighters. We will prevail. I am simply asking for prayers and positive vibes that all things will work out both financially and in health.

HELP KOBE-He was hit by Unlicensed speeding driver
Hi I’m Tyler, Kobe’s dad. Monday July 5th Kobe was hit by a speeding and unlicensed driver while he was visiting my parents with me in Port Saint Lucie, Florida. Miraculously, the team at Veterinary Medical Center of St. Lucie County was able to save his life, and he has since been transfered to speciaslists to save his legs.
From the hit Kobe most seriously suffered internal bleeding, a pneumothorax, a partially ruptured diaphragm, numerous lacerations, a displaced right hip and degloving and severing of all the ligaments in his left ankle. While the work done on him and the recovery he has already begun has been nothing short of a miracle, the costs incurred have been astornomical and everything has been required up front before any work could be done, leaving myself and those closest to Kobe (who have also helped more than I could’ve imagined) beyond our means financially. But there is still a long and costly journey ahead, as Kobe will need expensive surgery to save his legs. Please help us to continue getting Kobe the care he needs to return to being the happiest, most energetic and loving puppy. If you cannot help financially please considering sharing this with others– We are so thankful for all the help we can get Kobe!

Florida Publix Shooting Victims Fund
On Thursday June 10th a horrific tragedy occurred. A grandmother and her 23 month old grandson were shopping at the Publix Supermarket in Royal Palm Beach, FL. While in the produce section of the store, an unknown man approached the two and pulled out a gun and shot the young boy. The grandmother struggled with the man attempting to stop him but was thrown to the ground and then shot as well. The belief from authorities is that her heroic action of attempting to stop him allowed multiple people in the store to run to safety, preventing what could have been an even worse tragedy from occurring. Unfortunately, both the woman and the child did not survive the shooting and this event has left a family devastated and grieving not one but two deaths that should have never happened!
The family is now preparing for two funeral services and burials as well as the many unexpected expenses that will need to be taken care of in the upcoming days, weeks and months.
Anything you can donate will help this amazing family that has been struck with such a horrible loss to begin the healing process.
The family will continue to remain private but I will be happy to pass on your condolences and prayers.

Help Mimi get the medical care she needs
Yesterday Mimi had a seizure and stopped breathing. Something inside of me told me not to wait until the ambulance got there, I was afraid it was going to take too long. I got in the car with her limp cold body, with 2 of my daughters and my son. One of them was Mimi’s mommy. We preformed cpr twice in the car and drove as fast as we could towards the hospital. I prayed to GOD what I should do because I knew I was about to hit a lot of traffic. Something inside told me to make a turn that was going away from the hospital. I don’t know why I did it but GOD told me to. Within moments I ran directly into the police that were in route looking for me. They grabbed her and began CPR. They made the decision in the moment to not wait one more moment and to put Mimi in the back of the police car and motorcade her and our family to Palms West Hospital while working on her in the back seat. If they had not made this decision I may have lost my little grand baby. Right now she is in medically induced coma. She has had many tests done and the machines are doing all the work for her. This is going to be a long road and Mimi is going to need a lot of care. Her mommy can not leave her side with all of the Covid 19 guidelines. At home she has left behind Mimi’s twin sister Raina. Raina has asked every 5 minutes where her mommy and Mimi are. I have told her that mommy and Mimi are at the doctors making her all better! Mimi will need a lot of medical care and mommy will not be able to do much from Mimi’s hospital room. Please give what you can or pray for us if you can’t. We are grateful either way. Also our family will be indebted to those officers for life after saving our Mimi. All we want to do is hear her little voice say “I love you Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop!

Prosthetic Limb for 3 Year Old Daughter
Hello everyone, my daughter was born with the rare birth defect of Spina Bifida. She could only use one of her legs, and major surgeries are a reality for this beautiful little girl. Just a few days ago she had her most drastic surgery to date, and she had her leg amputated. Because she has a team of doctors that need to come together to perform a surgery like this, we had no choice but to do it this week, which also happens to be her 3rd birthday. For my daughter to get her best fighting chance at walking, we need to get her fitted into a prosthetic as soon as possible, which has not only exhausted all of our resources, but now we are beyond our limit in debt and need your help. If you can find it in your heart, and if you have the ability to, please donate to my daughter’s cause and help my family out. We all just desperately want the best for our children.

We took Biscuit to the vet today after finding her suffering from diarrhea and vomiting. After some extensive testing, she was diagnosed with feline panleukopenia. To ensure she has the best fighting chance against the virus, the vet has recommended for her to be hospitalized for at least 3 days. So they can provide her with IV fluids, protein, and antibiotics. It has been very expensive for my family and I. My sisters and I have already wiped our small savings. And, without funds they will not continue to administer treatment to Biscuit. For those of you who know me, and to those of you who have no idea who I am. Biscuit is my best friend. Without her, I would be lost. If you find it in your heart to give, from the bottom of my heart: Thank you! Any amount helps and would mean the world to me.

The cause is important to me as an Air Force veteran because of the unique mission of Home Base. The organization has treated over 27 thousand of our countries brave men and women, as well as their families, on the path to recovery from the invisible wounds of war: PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs). Their holistic approach builds physical and mental resilience and helps facilitate a family approach to taking steps forward, in fact, they have a satellite recreation facility right here in Naples, Fl. As I type this in the midst of my 3rd year in medical school, I am further inspired by Home Base as they have trained over 74 thousand health providers, therapists, PTs, and first responders the nuances of military culture and how to better improve their everyday care for Veterans nation wide.
I currently have a digital fundraising platform that can be found at the following link: https://because.massgeneral.org/fundraiser/2753415

Izabella’s Lyme Disease fight
Our story starts when Izabella (Bella) started showing signs of Lyme Disease in April of 2019. Now Lyme Disease is rare in Florida and it actually took until September of 2019 to be diagnosed. Last week (January 2020) she tested positive for a rare tick borne illness called Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever ( this is almost always fatal if not treated in time) We had 5 months of doctors misdiagnosing my now 13 year old daughter. It has been such a fight and emotional roller-coaster for our family, myself being a single mother with a very small support team, I am doing my best to maintain face for my 2 daughters. My youngest Abigail is in constant fear of losing Izabella. Her current diagnosis is Chronic Mono, Acute Lyme Disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and Pats Disease. She has also had multiple infections. Izabella has been through so much and she is a fighter. She suffers from horrible headaches, enlarged spleen and lymph nodes, joint pain, zero energy ( she would sleep for days at a time). Fast forward to now, we are in January of 2020, Izabella has a PICC line for antibiotics to help treat the Lyme. She is on multiple antibiotics and multiple specialist. The closest specialist that will treat Izabella for her Lyme and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is over 200 miles away. I’m basically going broke driving her every single week to see the Lyme doctor plus all her other specialists. I am in need of help, so I’ve created a go fund me. If you can not donate that is fine just please keep my daughter in your prayers.

Marty Miller’s Bike Accident- Family Fund
On the morning of September 30th, my friend and coach, Marty was riding his bike on 441 in Palm Beach County training for the West Palm Beach Triathlon, to take place in October. Marty was struck by a car and dragged for some time. The car’s tire ran over his pelvis, crushing it. He has broken ribs, a punctured bladder, fractured C7 and severe road rash. He was air lifted to St. Mary’s hospital where he is undergoing the first round of surgeries.
Marty is an athlete – he competes in marathons, half marathons and triathlons. He is also a PE teacher at Boca Raton Community Middle School and an avid football fan. His wife Kelly and children Elizabeth and Colby are going to need support now more than ever.
For those of you that do not know Marty, just 3 short months ago, he donated a kidney to a total stranger who happened to live a couple of miles down the road. He has been recuperating nicely from the kidney donation and was recently cleared to resume his triathlon training when the accident happened.

Tragic Sudden Death of Husband/Father
On November 26, 2019, tragedy struck the Magana family as we lost Luis Magana in a horrific automobile accident while he was coming home from work for the Thanksgiving holiday,
Luis was married to Ruby Magana and had two adorable children, Naomi and Javier 9 and 6 years old. Luis worked hard because he wanted his wife and children to have the best of everything. He was a loving husband and father and will surely be missed by his family and friends.
With all the emotional stress that death brings, it also brings financial burdens. We are trying to raise money for Ruby and her children to help wherever needed. We are thankful for any support you may be able to provide
El 26 de Noviembre, sucedio una tragedia para la familia Magana. Perdimos a Luis Magana en un accidente automovillistico cuando regresaba del trabajo para los dias de Accion de Gracias.
Luis estaba casado con Ruby Magana y tenia dos adorables ninos, Naomi y Javier de 9 y 6. Luis trabajaba duro porque deceaba lo mejor para Ruby y sus ninos. Era un amoroso esposo y padre y seguramente se extranara por toda la familia y amigos.
Con todo el estres emocional que la muerte trae, tambien trae gastos financieros. Estamos tratando reunir fondos para Ruby y sus ninos para que le ayude en lo que sea necesario. De antemano se les agradece cualquier soporte que puedan aportar.

Jessica and Adam’s IVF Fund
Thank you for taking the time to check out my fundraiser! My name is Kristin and I am Jessica’s (favorite) cousin and have set up this Go Fund Me to financially assist her and Adam during their IVF process.
Jessica and Adam have a shared passion for working with special needs children and both work at University High School. Adam is a High School Dean and wrestling coach and previously worked as a Behavior Specialist. Jessica is a Job Coach, working with students with disabilities to develop their functional skills in order to prepare them for the workforce. She previously was a Behavior Technician at an elementary school serving children with severe autism.
While they both find their careers extremely rewarding, they have decided to expand their own family. Jessica and Adam have been together for 6 years and knew from the start that pregnancy would be an issue due to some medical issues. Adam has always been supportive and understanding that children of their own might not be in the cards, but as they look to their future they are hoping to change that.
So begins the IVF process. They met with fertility doctors and unfortunately, the only way to grow their family is through IVF – the most expensive form of fertility treatment and sadly, this is not covered by insurance.
The estimated total cost is $25,000. This includes the egg retrieval, the actual IVF procedure, embryo transfer, and all medications.
This is an exciting time of their lives and they are up for the challenge, but the cost of the treatment and lack of insurance coverage has put up a road block for them. Any and all donations are much appreciated if possible. If that is not an option, simply sharing the page would be huge help as well! However you can help, thank you!

This is the Ginty Family; Mathew, Leland and Katlyn (from left to right).
They both just lost their jobs and on top of it all, their landlord wants them out to renovate the property. Moving back in is not an option as the rent will be bumped up well beyond what they can afford and they would be homeless during the renovation process (which will take months!).
I’m a friend of their’s that they have so graciously helped out of a bad situation. I want to help in any way possible but I’m also not employed.
Anything helps, no matter how small!

Help Our Warrior Beat Breast Cancer
About a month ago, September 2019, Mom (Terry) was sent to complete a biopsy on a lump she had in her left breast. She didn’t think anything of it as a few years prior she had another procedure that resulted in her having cysts in her breasts. Once the biopsy was completed, we waited patiently for the results. On October 3, 2019, Mom was diagnosed with Stage 2 Breast Cancer. She will need immediate treatment which is to begin on October 14, 2019. They will be placing a port inside her chest on Tuesday October 8, 2019 which will administer the chemotherapy, following an appointment to meet her Oncologist on Wednesday October 9, 2019 to set forth her health plan.
As expected, medical bills are going to be astronomical as her insurance barely covers her medical needs. So far she has spent roughly $3,000.00 just for the biopsy and follow up appointments which was not covered by insurance. As the bills start coming in, I will be adjusting the amount of help needed. My dad, Louie, my sister, Kim and I will be rotating schedules to make her doctors appointments, follow ups and simply to be by her side during this difficult journey that is before us.
Mom is such an amazing person. She loves cleaning, reading, watching the ID channel and her IPAD. Her neighbors adore her and very often seek her advice. She adores her family, most importantly her grandsons Brandyn (15) and Shawn (9). The highlight to her daily routine is her dog, Brooklyn. Anyone who knows Terry, knows Brooklyn is her best friend. Some of her family members have dubbed her ‘Terry Tuna’ because at one point she had an obsession with Tuna and she offered a tuna sandwich to anyone who visited her but to my sister dad and I, she is mom, she is our sunshine on a rainy day, she is our mentor, she is our savior.
Losing our mother/wife/grandma/sister/daughter is not an option however, we desperately need your help. Any amount donated helps.
Thank you so much! We appreciate all of our donors.

We Lost Everything
Three years ago my family lost everything! Due to family illnesses and losing a 20 year long job, over the past three we lost our home, cars, furniture, and basically everything besides a few items of clothing. I have tried finding a job in my previous field to no avail and had to go back to school to start a new career. Now I am graduated and ready to start getting our life back. However, we need your help. Renting and house and furnishing it, in addition to buying the small yet expensive things you don’t think about like stocking a kitchen is simply too much. Unless we get help we may not ever be able to afford these “startup” costs. Right now we are all squeezed into one room with a small fridge and a hot plate to make what we can for the kids. Your kindness will be appreciated. May God bless you for reading my story and considering helping us.

Bahamas Relief – DJ’s School Fund
Meet DJ
DJ and his mom Nelly are from Freeport, Bahamas . They rode out Dorian with their family by seeking shelter on the 2nd floor of their neighbors townhouse. Over 10 feet of storm surge destroyed the interior of their home. DJ and Nelly will be staying with us in Palm Beach County for the next several months as our community helps piece their family and home back together. And, Nelly is pregnant too!
Great News
DJ now has a Florida home address and qualifies for VPK. He has the opportunity to attend a Palm Beach County charter school M-F 7:30am-6pm. This is a huge opportunity for DJ to re-establish structure and continue with his education. DJ’s mom is 5 months pregnant and high-risk so she needs to be on bed rest to help the baby grow. This is a tremendous opportunity to make a lifelong impact on mom, baby and DJ!
Our Need
DJ’s monthly school tuition is $400. We are asking for your help to donate 6-months of school tuition and uniforms. All overflow will go directly to helping DJ’s family rebuild their life in Freeport.
Give and Share
We are grateful and thank you so much for participating in this very tangible opportunity to impact the lives and future of a sweet Bahamian evacuee family. Please consider giving if you’re able. Sharing this fundraiser is highly appreciated and welcomed!
DJ is ALL smiles 🙂

6 Month Old Puppy Emergency Surgery
I am a college Senior at FAU. I have the most amazing puppy, Hank! Hank is my first dog ever. I rescued him from Tri-County animal shelter in boca raton in May. He is an amazing puppy, doesn’t chew things up, sleeps all night, etc. However, he doesn’t have the typical puppy energy. Recently he was diagnosed with elbow dysplasia in both elbows and is in need of surgery apap. His case is so extreme that he has fractured both elbows as well. We caught it early so surgery is an option to remove the ulna in both elbows. The surgery is only available for puppies who are still growing. After their growth plates close the surgery isn’t an option and permanent. The surgery is about $5,500 (I don’t have that). We want to give our boy the best life he can possibly have. He has done so much for us and we want to do the same for him. Please consider helping us out and saving our boy. Is there anything you guys can do to get our story out?

Palm Beach Teachers Daughter Fighting Leukemia
An elementary teacher in palm beach county is dealing with extraordinary circumstances. She is a single mom and her daughter is battling the last stage of leukemia. Teachers have set up a page for her to help with medical expenses that insurance does not cover. As a teacher her salary definitely doesn’t cover all the out of pocket medical expenses and the outcome is not looking well so we are trying to ensure she has enough for a funeral when needed. This teacher still comes to work everyday to be there for her students and make sure they are getting the best education possible. The link to the page with the teacher’s story is below. She is a very private person so she would like to keep her name secure but the page explains all she has been going through.

Help a Family get a Place to Live
For the sake of privacy, we will not be revealing any names or too many details; only what is necessary. We hope you understand and still see the urgency of the situation.
Hi, my name is Deuselena Nandelstadt. I have recently become aware of a family friend who is in great need of a home. His two girls are sleeping in a tent in the backyard of a relative’s house and since work is hard to come across at this time in his particular field, saving money for a house isn’t necessarily realistic, and we want to get them in a place as soon as possible. One of his girls is in her last year of high school and is preparing to go to college, and the other has just started middle school.
They’re both going through very big transitions in their life and it’s important for them to have a stable home with some sense of security. They’re amazing girls. Their hard-working spirit has remained through so many financial hardships and deaths in the family. Before, there used to be a full household coming together to contribute to rent and bills, but now it’s only a father trying to provide for his daughters. Between paying off debts, funeral costs, and lack of work, the situation has truly become dire for this family.
This is where I, along with several other lovely people, have decided to step in. We have decided to start a GoFundMe in efforts to raise enough money to buy this family a trailer. A gift like this will give this family a safe place to study, eat, sleep, and call their own. Anything that you donate is dearly appreciated, and you have my gratitude for even taking the time to read our story. Please help us help this family. We want these girls to have every chance at success and a happy life-something that is so much easier to achieve with a place to call home.

Preparing for final expenses
This is for a friend of mine. Her father was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, and at first he was getting better with medicine and chemo, and then he took a turn for the worst. He lost his battle last night. The family is devastated because it happened out of nowhere and they need help with medical expenses and final burial expenses. I was hoping you guys could post it on KVJ Cares for her so they can get a little bit of the help they need.

Special Needs Garden Project
I am a high school special education teacher. I teach math, science, and health/PE. I am hoping to create an indoor garden in my classroom for my very special students! A garden can prove to be educational and fun for all subjects I teach. Creating a classroom garden will provide my students with the opportunity to learn about various science topics such as the water cycle and plants, as well as healthy eating and responsibility. A classroom garden will give my students a sense of pride and satisfaction when they watch a seed grow into a beautiful plant that can produce food!
Working at a Title I school means that many of my students face barriers to their success, regardless of a disability. The money raised will be used towards the equipment necessary to create an indoor garden, such as grow lights and tools, as well as supplies needed to upkeep the garden’s plants. This year long project will prove to be both engaging and educational! Thank you for any contribution!

Getting Sarah to her family
My lovely fiancée moved to Florida from Michigan for me. And now we are having a baby! We have been saving our spare money to Rent a van and take a trip north after the baby is born during her maternity leave… but surprise surprise-babies are expensive! She’s also high risk so the doctors said our son will be here in 1-6 weeks (instead of 9). There’s no way we can raise money in time because we still need things for the baby. I had heard of this site and thought I’d give it a try and maybe surprise her!

University of Florida student fighting unusual and potentially deadly battle
Life took an unexpected turn for the Gordon family.
“The easiest way to describe it is a nightmare that we can’t wake up from,” Todd Gordon, Brandon Gordon’s father, said.
22-year-old Brandon Gordon was diagnosed with NUT Midline Carcinoma, an extremely rare and aggressive cancer.
“There’s very few in the United States annually some figures are 40/50 annually I’ve seen upwards of 90 but a very unusual cancer diagnosis,”North Florida Regional Medical Center Director of Oncology Mary Piaza said.
Brandon, or as his peers call him “bear”, was a very active person, a soccer player who was just accepted to his dream school, The University of Florida.
“He’s such a big guy hes 6’4 someone gave him the nickname bear and it just stuck,” Todd Gordon said.
Brandon is also known for his kind heart and high spirit. His parents said he is one the kindest gentlest people you could ever meet.
“I think we did a great job with him. He takes a lot after his mother, very caring individual will do anything for anybody,” Gordon said.
Now Brandon is asking the community to do*something for him. His parents set up a GoFundMe page, to help Brandon in the battle of his life.
“We are staying positive, Brandon is staying positive,” Gordon said. “We have had outreach from thousands of people that we know and don’t even know… we’ve gotten prayers from all over the country and it’s just fantastic to know there are so many caring people out there,” he said.
Although the hospital has been his home for nearly 2 months, Brandon is working hard to regain his strength so he can continue his fight as an outpatient back in his home town in West Palm Beach.
His family said the support Brandon has received from hospital staff, friends and even strangers has been truly amazing.
“Comments people have made about him and the kind of person he is, as parents we’ve always known that but to hear people affirm that… it’s just been incredible,” Gordon said.
As Brandon gears up for his second round of Chemotherapy, his parents aren’t just asking for donations, they are asking for prayers for a miracle.
To donate, visit the GoFundMe page HERE. The family said any donation is helpful.

My son and his two heart surgeries
Hello my name is Sheila Fote and my son Travis is a commercial fisherman recently married and father to a beautiful baby girl Amelia Rose. My son has been going through some very difficult medical issues this past year Begining last January. I got a phone call from my daughter in law she tells me Travis is being rushed to the hospital with chest pains and doesn’t look good at all. After arriving I saw my son and he was in terrible pain and his condition did not look good the doctors could not find what was wrong. Test after test were coming back with no answers. As they were drawing up his discharge papers the ER nurse kept at the doctors to look at him again. After a cardiologist ran another test he found that Travis had an aortic aneurysm had dissected and ruptured which warranted emergency surgery. After 7 hours and 3 very close calls the surgical team saved his life. He had a lengthy recovery time which basically ended his fishing season. After struggling through the summer working and getting his boat ready for this up coming season he found out he needed to go back in for yet another open heart surgery this time to replace his aortic valve.

Jessica’s Medical Fund
I am a thirty-seven year old mother of one incredible nine year old boy. His Father and I were not able to make our relationship work, however, we still live together. Before our son was born, we made a promise to each other that no matter what happened between us we would always strive to give our son 24/7 access to us both. In addition, Lenny (Father) is disabled and does not have the ability to financially support himself.
If I become ill to the point of not being able to work or if something happens to me, my whole family will fall apart. I cannot allow that to happen to my son, which is the only reason I am swallowing my pride and reaching out like this. Permanently repairing everything is going cost around $30,000. I am asking for $5,000 of that just to get the most dangerous part of the situation taken care of before it creates a more serious issue and to buy myself some more time to save for the rest.

I wanted to see if you could help a dear friend and his baby Lola. Lola has just been diagnosed with a fatal disease known as Krabbe Disease. Only 3 states in the US require testing for this rare but fatal disease at birth and if tested, baby Lola would have a different fate ahead of what is left of her precious life.
We need our local community to come together for this in a big way!
Please do what you can to help baby Lola and help us to prevent future families from experiencing the affects of this preventable disease.

I teach children with autism at Connections Education Center and we are looking for support to purchase some bowling equipment. Most children with autism need some practice before going out into the community. We hope to purchase this equipment to use at the school and then go to a bowling alley to use our newly acquired skills.
If you would like to donate any denomination you can do so at: https://www.donorschoose.org/project/bowling-for-autism/2173943/
Nicole Norris passed away on September 3, 2016 unexpectedly at the young age of 47 years old leaving behind a husband, 5 children (Vanessa 26, Rebecca 22, Daniel 21, Timothy 18 and Hannah 16) and 2 grandchildren (Jace 1 year and Kinsley 8 months). We do not have the answers however we do know that there are so many people in Florida who loved her. My dad did a service in Colorado but we know so many people in Florida could not attend. https://www.gofundme.com/nicolenorris
Pennies for Petruzzi
Hey, so my best friend just had his first day as a police officer yesterday. When he got home he was cooking dinner for his new wife and son and got burned by hot oil. He has 3rd degree burns all over the right side of his body and has to go to the burn unit at Jackson Memorial in Miami. His family could use some support right now as he will be out of work for at least a few months. Please help me help him and donate a couple dollars! Share the word, a brother in blue needs our help!http://mk2.gofund.me/29gq5md8?rcid=a4af9bb05dce11e6ae0bbc764e05b494

Hey guys I listen every morning to you guys and I am asking for y’all to help me out.
I am currently homeless. I was working for a company for 13 years and was let go back in Feb/March. I had two months of money saved but after April my saving was depleted. I applied for more than 300 jobs. But everyone is only wanting to pay 8.50 to 9.50 hr and only 20/25 hrs week what adult can live with that. I got a job with Nabisco as a merchandiser it is $13 hr but also part time but once I prove myself I’m sure I will be able to get Full Time.This job requires me to drive to different grocery stores and without a car I will be unemployed again. So I can sleep in my car until i save the money for a deposit and move in cost of a place. I have work hard all my life no government assistance often working two jobs to take care of my kids. I lost my rental home cause i couldn’t afford to pay I owe 2 months rent $1850 but good landlord didn’t file eviction on me just told me I needed to turn over the house.
The bank is trying to repo my car because i’m behind two payments and they don’t offer deferments or loan
modifications on auto loans. Thanks Community First Credit union… I have been hiding out in my car cause when they take it I will be homeless with all my stuff.
I started a gofundme page. Please ask viewers to help. If i can get a hand up in life I will pay it forward in the near future. I am embarrassed to have to beg strangers for help but sometimes you need a stranger to help you. Also I am looking for a overnight second job if you know anyone hiring for overnight please let me know or have them contact me..
