<div>Hello, my name is Mystique Ro, I am a USA Skeleton Athlete and Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympic Hopeful.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am the top ranked USA Skeleton athlete going into Olympic Year and a potential medal contender.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This has been a journey to get to this level and every year I have only gotten faster, stronger and better. This time last quad I was ranked #7 on the US team (#39 in the world); now I'm ranked #1 on the US team (#11 in the world).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With each year improvements are made and knowledge is gained, but funding is still lacking. What we've come to realize is that success often is linked back to proper and adequate equipment. Athletes on the US team are self-funded and rely on various odd or remote jobs and the support of their community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Each season costs well over <em>$25,000</em>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Logistics (flights, rental cars, lodging, etc) <em>$12,000~</em>
</li>
<li>Training (gym fees, sliding fees, race fees) <em>$6,000~</em>
</li>
<li>Nutrition (supplements and food) <em>$5,000-7,000</em>
</li>
<li>Equipment <em>$11,000&lt;</em>
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With your support would like to target equipment and training expenses. There are pieces of our sled (runners) that cost $700-1,000 per set; one training run down the track costs, on average, 45 euro/trip. These items can add up very quickly, but opting out of investing in these categories, significantly limits my ability to find the best set up for a competitive performance.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I would love to have your support on this journey as the target to qualify fr the Games draws closer. Any and all help is tremendously appreciated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your consideration!
</div>

Fuel Mystique Ro's Journey to the  Olympic Games!

<div>Project Push to Gold Fund is a nonprofit created and operated by US Skeleton Athlete, Mystique Ro. This nonprofit was created to help bridge the equipment gap for athletes currently in or joining the sliding world. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Sliding gear is very unique, few items are sourced in the US, so we rely on contacts and relationships established mostly from word of mouth in Europe. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Sliding Sports are one of the top three most expensive Olympic Sports, and it is Athlete Funded ('Self-Funded'), meaning no government support. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Most of our athletes are balancing a number of part time jobs or work long hours in their career fields to be able to afford a season on ice while balancing training and everyday life. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Our objective here is to help cover much needed equipment our athletes need to train and compete safely:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>-Helmets

</div>

<div>-Burn Vests

</div>

<div>-Mouth Guards

</div>

<div>-Training Warm Up Suits

</div>

<div>-Brush Spikes

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Olympic year is here and our athletes are dialing in to prepare for the Quad Finale, the Games in February.  To ensure our athletes have their base needs met, we are asking for those wanting to support Team USA to rally behind our sliders to help them be properly fitted!

</div>

Equip Team USA Sliders for Olympic Success

<div>My name is Darryl Payne, Jr. and 18 years ago, a dream came to mind. A dream to represent my country in a way that presents power, grace and camaraderie. A dream that many people often pursue, but few succeed in achieving. I am training for a spot on the United States Olympic Skeleton Team.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Okay, so what exactly is Skeleton?</strong>

</div>

<div>Glad you asked! I asked the same thing when I first heard about it, but we’ll get to that story later.

</div>

<div>Skeleton is one of three sledding sports that take place at the Winter Olympic Games. Similar to Luge in that I’m sliding down a serpentine ice course on a sled, inches from the ground—except I’m going down HEAD FIRST wearing nothing but a helmet and speed suit! Speeds can reach in excess of 85 mph, but it is actually safer than Bobsled or Luge which each travel faster.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>After the mention of the speeds the sled can reach, I always get asked, <strong>“What made you want to do that?!”</strong>

</div>

<div>The answer to that lies in a call from the US Olympic &amp; Paralympic Committee to athletes across the country, to try and become the Next Olympic Hopeful. Originally, I was selected to compete for a fully funded bobsled training spot, however, I was much smaller than the necessary mass required to get that sled moving down the track. After the scouting camp was completed, I was pulled aside by the Head Coach for US Bobsled and offered an invite to go out to Skeleton School in Lake Placid, New York. The sport is much better suited for my frame and mass. Think about it: I’m 5’9.5”. Bobsled needs me to be 102 kg (225 lbs). Skeleton needs me to be 84 kg (185 lbs). Make sense now?

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Once the end of the skeleton school neared it’s completion, there was the Rookie Push Championship and I placed second after only a week of learning the sport.

</div>

<div>A competitor of sprints from the age of 7 years old, and well into my career on the high school track, I’ve been very successful athletically. Achieving ranks such as Everyday People Combine Winner, True Athlete Games Winner, and Austin Fit Magazine's 2nd Fittest Man. Adding this new sport brings about many new challenges—mentally, physically and financially.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Here is a<strong> break down</strong> of what my expenses look like for this sport and what your donation would be going towards.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Airfare &amp; Baggage</strong> $7,000

</div>

<div><strong>Lodging</strong> $5,000

</div>

<div><strong>Coaching </strong>$4,000

</div>

<div><strong>Car Rental </strong>$3,000

</div>

<div><strong>Training Runs </strong>$3,000

</div>

<div><strong>Meals/Supplements </strong>$3,000

</div>

<div><strong>Sled Runners </strong>$700/pair

</div>

<div><strong>Weight Training &amp; Facilities </strong>$500

</div>

<div><strong>Apparel &amp; Gear Replacement</strong> $400-$1000

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The goal is the <em>2026 Winter Olympic Games in Milan-Cortina</em>. 

</div>

<div>Currently, no African American man has ever represented the United States at the Winter Olympic Games in Skeleton. An added bonus to this new dream would be to serve as a role model for younger generations, that in many cases, believe there are no other options. Serving as a light, and a pioneer for my community in this sport would truly be an honor.

</div>

Help Darryl Get To The Winter Olympics!

<div>Hello,

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My name is Dan Barefoot, and I compete for the United States in the sport of Skeleton! We slide head-first down ice tracks at over 80mph! Remember the movie Cool Runnings?? We do that but laying face down!

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I tell you what, representing the United States, your hometown, and your family and friends is one of the greatest privileges an athlete could ever ask for, but it is not easy! Once you get to the top of the sport, finances play a big role in how well you do. I'm extremely honored by the opportunities I have. A little bit of a financial push would drive this journey home! 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you're able, join me on my road to Milan 2026, and let's go fight for an OLYMPIC MEDAL!!!

</div>

Barefoot On Ice: A Journey to the 2026 Winter Olympics!!!

My journey in the sport of skeleton began after my time as a Division One football player at Idaho State University. The transition from football to skeleton was challenging, but the support from my friends, family, and the community in Pocatello, Idaho has kept me motivated every step of the way. Their encouragement has been a driving force as I pursue my dream of competing in the 2026 Winter Olympics. 
<br>
<br>
 This season, I am raising funds to cover essential expenses such as travel, lodging, race fees, sled maintenance, groceries, rental cars, Airbnb stays, gym fees, and track fees. The costs add up quickly, but each investment brings me closer to representing my country on the world stage. I am proud to be the back-to-back US national push champion and the overall winner of the North American Cup for the 2024/2025 season. These achievements reflect the dedication and countless hours I have put into training and competition. 
<br>
<br>
 I am deeply grateful for the support of Lookout Credit Union, Cole Chevrolet, KRT Muscle Cream, Hooligans Bar, Luco Prints, the Spillett family, and the Stradinger family. Qualifying for the 2026 Olympics would mean that all the hard work, perseverance, and belief from everyone involved in this journey would come to fruition. Your support will help me continue this pursuit and inspire others in my community to chase their dreams.

Road to the 2026 Winter Olympics

<div>Hi everyone!

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My name is Sam Allred! I’m from Dallas, Texas and I’m training for a spot in the 2026 Olympic Games in Cortina, Italy.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My path to skeleton began with football! I was a walk-on free safety at Brigham Young University. I didn’t make it onto the team until my senior year, and when I graduated, I knew I wanted to keep going with sport.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Every day when training, I’d look up at the Olympic Rings posted above the doors of the gym, and tell myself “I’m training for the Olympics” even though I didn’t know what sport it would be for.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’d seen Cool Runnings, and knew that bobsledders had to be strong and fast. After emailing and emailing the coaches, they had me do an online combine which led to a rookie camp in Lake Placid!

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Turns out, I wasn’t much of a bobsledder. But they told me with my long arms and legs I should push a skeleton sled. It immediately felt like home.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I had no idea that a sport could capture my heart as completely as Skeleton did. When you’re low to the ice, flowing with the track, hitting 80 miles per hour plus… I just felt peace. Which was weird because I’d never considered myself an adrenaline junkie by any means!

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>In the last three years, I’ve represented USA in over 20 races at 8 tracks in 7 different countries across North America and Europe.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The hardest part of the journey is finding a way to pay for it. Our federation does what they can to cover equipment costs and a couple flights per season, but 90% of the cost falls on the athletes.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’d always thought Team USA athletes were swimming in endorsement deals and money, but my teammates and I are all as broke as can be. We train full time year round, without a paycheck, working odd jobs in the evenings to try to cover the cost of the upcoming season. Each year, we sink deeper and deeper into debt trying to finance the Olympic dream. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Most athletes quit years before they’ve reached their full potential simply because there’s no way to make it make sense financially. In a way, that’s part of the thrill of sports: they demand everything from you, and promise nothing but the journey in return. You have to really really really love what you’re doing.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thankfully, I do! This season is Olympic Year. At this moment, I can’t afford to make it through the season and am on my last credit card.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Your help in any form (donating, sharing this Go Fund Me, or even just following the journey online and reminding me I’m not crazy) goes such a long way. It is impossible to do what we do without the support of family, friends, and donors.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I promise to honor your contributions in my heart, and involve you in this journey however I can. A phone call after a race? A sticker on the sled? You name it, I’m game! Whatever would be meaningful to you. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>At the end of the day there’s no real way to thank you properly for helping me reach this dream - other than to promise you it has changed my life, and promise you I will pay it forward forever.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Sincerely,

</div>

<div>Sam Allred

</div>

Support Sam Allred's Olympic Dream

<div><strong>We made it—it’s Olympic year!</strong>
</div>
<div>I need your help to make this season possible. All summer, I’ve been training hard to be at my best and came out on top with the <strong>fastest </strong>push time at our <strong>National Push Championships</strong>, which earned me a spot on the <strong>World Cup Team</strong>!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But after three years of piloting bobsleds, I’ve fallen short financially to cover the full workload required for this critical year—Olympic year.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>This fundraiser will help offset costs for:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Training and Travel</strong>
</li>
<li><strong>Housing and competition fees</strong>
</li>
<li><strong>Equipment, shipping, and rentals</strong>
</li>
<li><strong>Living expenses while in Europe during the holidays (we won’t be coming home for Christmas or New Year’s)</strong>
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Braking barriers as a pilot has been intense, and this year—Olympic year—is the most important and expensive of the quad.<strong> I’m aiming to raise at least $90,000. Last season cost just under $100,000</strong>, so with your support, my team and I can focus entirely on competition and performing at our best.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As always, I hope you’ll be part of this journey with me as we chase another <strong>medal</strong> together. Last Games we won bronze, let's upgrade to gold!! Every donation, big or small, makes a difference. —thank you for being part of my <strong>Olympic Journey to making history again</strong>!

Italy Winter Olympic Games Fundraiser

<div>Hi, my name is Emily Renna and I am an Olympic hopeful for the 2026 Winter Games in Milan-Cortina, competing in the sport of bobsled.  Emily grew up in western New York currently lives and trains in Charlotte, North Carolina.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This past season, Emily achieved a career highlight by finishing 4th in the world in two-woman bobsled at the 2025 World Championships in Lake Placid. Her journey began in 2019 when she walked onto the team as a complete unknown was never recruited, just determined to prove that she belonged and crazy enough to pursue a dream that started as a kid, albeit, in a different sport.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, with less than six months until the Winter Olympics, I'm continuing to chase the dream: representing Team USA on one of the most competitive teams and on the biggest stage in the world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Bobsled is an incredibly demanding sport, physically, mentally, and financially. Your support will help mr continue this journey, with every contribution, big or small, bringing me one step closer to the Olympic start line.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much! Go USA!
</div>

Emily's Road to Milano Cortina Olympic Winter Games 2026

<div>My name is Hannah Gaskins and <strong>I am a USA Skeleton athlete aspiring to one day represent my country at the Olympics.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Last season (24/25), I competed on the North American Cup (NAC) circuit and was able to secure a 3rd and 4th place medal along with other good finishes. It was an awesome season, and I am looking forward to new accomplishments next season as I will be competing in Europe. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The love that I have for Skeleton can only go so far without the proper funding. <strong>This sport has very little funding from the federation, so most athletes are self-funded.</strong> Training fees, travel, lodging, and equipment costs can easily add up to thousands of dollars a year!

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If it is on your heart to support my journey, it would mean the world! It doesn’t matter how small; anything will be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for taking the time to read this, and thank you in advance for your support for my journey.

</div>

<div><br />

Fuel Hannah Gaskins Skeleton Journey

<div>I am Bryan Sosoo, a dedicated and passionate athlete, training for the 2026 Winter Olympic Games for TEAM USA in the bobsled.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A little background....I am a former professional track and field athlete for the Central Park Track Club and presently work in the pharmaceutical industry, where patients’ are at the center of everything we do. My journey in bobsledding began in August 2024 when I was invited to a rookie camp hosted by the USA Bobsled Team. Within months, I finished 5th at the USA Push Championship and was selected as one of 11 push athletes for this year's World Cup team for TEAM USA!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, bobsled like so many Olympic sports are self-funded endeavors. The associated costs—such as travel, housing, training, treatment, and other miscellaneous expenses—can be considerable and I need your support to offset these expenses,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This opportunity to make an Olympic team is a dream come true for me, and I am fully committed to giving it my all. However, balancing a full-time job with the demands of being a professional athlete is no easy task so your contribution is essential to my success.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hope you will join my Olympic journey!

Help Bryan Represent Team USA in prep for the 2026 Olympics

<div>The United States Olympic Team does not receive government funding. Athletes rely heavily on sponsorships, federations, and secondhand jobs to fund their Olympic journey. <strong>The US Men's Bobsled team is currently lacking funding to send the full World Cup team on tour this season.</strong> This lack of funding severely jeopardizes our ability to qualify a full Men's Team at the Milan/Cortina Olympics. The Men's Team now has to self-fund $120k in order to bring their 3rd men's team and compete on the World Cup. Our team is more than capable of qualifying a 3 mens sleds and medaling at the Olympics this winter. <strong>We need your financial support to achieve our goals for USA.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Bobsled expenses accumulate quickly. Shipping sleds to Europe for the season and the Olympics. Runners can cost up to $15k a set; drivers procure these with their own funds and require multiple sets based on ice conditions. Then there's housing, transportation, and nutrition costs that quickly add up.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The estimated total cost for a men's bobsled team to compete on the World Cup is $120k (1 driver and 4 push athletes). This includes shipping our sleds to Europe where the entire Olympic season will be taking place.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any and all donations will go towards hotels, Airbnbs, sled shipping and transportation, food, race entry fees, and training costs while we try and qualify for the Olympics.

Support the US Men's Bobsled Team's Olympic Dream

<div>Hi, my name is Adrian Adams and I represent on the U.S Bobsled National Team for TEAM USA. 



</div>



<div><br />



</div>



<div>For a dozen years I have competed in the sport of Bobsled. I'm a 10x time National team member and have represented team USA six times at the World Championships. And most recently, I'm a 2022 World Push Champion in the two and four man.



</div>



<div><br />



</div>



<div>This season I'm asking for help with funding because unlike most other countries that compete in the sport of Bobsled, Team USA is not government funded and we have to cover many of the expenses on our own while training full time.



</div>



<div><br />



</div>



<div>My goal is to raise $5,000. This season is the Olympic Season a very important season for me. 


</div>



<div><br />



</div>



<div>Sports have always been a passion of mine and it's an honor to compete for team USA  



</div>



<div><br />



</div>



<div>Thank you so much for your time!



</div>



<div><br />



</div>



<div>Go Team USA!

Support Adrian Adams: Team USA Bobsledder

<div>Hi there!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Sara Roderick and I'm an athlete on the United States World Cup Skeleton team, vying for a spot on the 2026 Winter Olympic Team.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm originally from Truro, Massachusetts, but now reside in Jericho, Vermont with my husband and our rad dog, Smudge. (Please see below!)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As one of the few partially funded athletes, I'm expected to train and race the same as my teammates who are receiving twice the amount of funds and stipends—crazy, right?! Good thing I love what I do and many of the people I do it with.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our expenses rack up quickly, regardless of funding. In order to get better at this sport, you have to work outside your means. I've already racked up a bill from my pre-season training and<strong> your help would mean the world.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I work 10-20 hours a week on top of training during the season in order to keep my credit cards in check and food on the table. Dramatic? Maybe—but it's also the truth.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>I'd love if you'd help me on this journey to Cortina 2026 to represent the United States and the good that exists here.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you're interested in becoming a partner with either myself or USA Bobsled and Skeleton, please reach out to me directly. I'd love to partner with someone or a small business- especially those that believe in the power of women in sport, mental health or local to my communities. If that sounds like you- I'd love to rep your brand for the 2025-2026 World Cup Season.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thanks y'all and go Team USA!!
</div>

Help Sara Roderick Reach Cortina 2026

</div>





<div>Hello, my name is Nicholas Tucker. I am a currently a member of The United States Bobsled/Skeleton Team as a Skeleton Development Athlete. Skeleton is a winter sliding sport where you run 40 meters or so on a slab of ice then jump on a small sled known as a Skeleton Bobsled where you go down a frozen track while lying face down headfirst, hitting speeds up to 80+MPH.




</div>





<div> 




</div>





<div>The reason I started this Journey is to have the chance to represent the USA for the 2026 Olympics in Milan, Italy.




</div>





<div> 




</div>





<div>HOW IT STARTED




</div>





<div>One night in February 2021 I was watching TV and saw a commercial come across my screen for the Tokyo Olympics. As cliché as it sounds my mind started to race, I remember growing up and always watching the Olympics whether it was the summer or winter games. For a span of 17 days my family was glued to the TV, it didn’t matter the sport or who was competing, we cheered on whoever wore the USA logo.




</div>





<div> 




</div>





<div>I pulled up Google and typed in Summer &amp; Winter Olympic Sports. I went through a list of sports that I thought I could compete in while also having a serious look at myself on what was possible and what wasn’t. One after the other I went through the list of sports and then came across the sport of Bobsled and Skeleton. I immediately started doing research on other athletes currently on the roster  and their athletic background. Right then and there I realized I could compete, or would have the closest chance to represent the United States through the sport of Skeleton.




</div>





<div> 




</div>





<div>HOW ITS GOING:




</div>





<div>Fast forward a couple months, I was invited to compete in a Rookie Camp back in June 2021 in Lake Placid at the Olympic Training Center where I finished 1st in our Push Championship. From there I was invited back to compete against our National Team for the National Push Championship in September for the 2021-2022 season, where I finished Top 5. I recently trained/competed in Park City Utah for the month of November for sliding school where I was able finish 1st out of the Rookie Athletes.




</div>





<div> 




</div>





<div>NEXT STEPS: I NEED YOUR HELP




</div>





<div>The United States Olympic &amp; Paralympic Committee is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation supported by individuals and corporate sponsors. Unlike most other nations, the USOPC does not receive direct government funding for Olympic programs. This includes the USA Bobsled/Skeleton team (USABS).




</div>





<div> 




</div>





<div>The mission of USABS is to enable United States athletes to achieve sustained competitive excellence in Olympic competition and to promote and grow the sports of bobsled and skeleton in the United States.




</div>





<div> 




</div>





<div>As a member of the USABS Development Team, I depend on private donations and sponsorships to help get to the World Cup Championships and Olympic Gold. Due to the high cost of staff, equipment, travel, transportation, insurance, healthcare and training, the annual operating budget of the USABS only covers the highest-ranking athletes in the sport who qualify for World Cup Competition and even then, it is not guaranteed. As a result, members of the Development Team like me must fund the road to our Olympic Dream through part time or full-time work, personal sponsorships and family/friends.




</div>





<div> 




</div>





<div>Although I am a Rookie in the Sport of Skeleton, I am ready to commit 100% of my life to this sport and will reach the end of goal of the Olympics no matter what it takes. I will be updating this weekly/monthly on how everything is going so you can see the progress of this journey. I thank you all so much and am very thankful to be in this position to hopefully represent the United States of America in the 2026 Olympics.




</div>





<div> 




</div>





<div>See below for Annual Costs:

<div>Annual Costs




</div>





<div>Travel $13,000




</div>





<div>Equipment $13,100




</div>





<div>Training $ 2,350




</div>





<div>TOTAL $28,450




</div>

Williams Family Seeking Essentials and Shelter

<div><strong>About the fund</strong>
</div>
<div>Wildfires that strike quickly and burn out of control have become increasingly common in the western United States. These fires claim lives, destroy homes and property, and expose communities to harmful smoke. Each year, hundreds of people create fundraisers on the GoFundMe platform asking for help in the wake of a destructive wildfire.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fund was created to provide direct relief to people in need after a wildfire. Your tax-deductible donation will ensure this fund can support as many people as possible as soon as a disaster strikes. We send critical cash grants directly to people who need help recovering from the impact of a wildfire.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Who we help</strong>
</div>
<div>We deliver cash grants directly to those impacted by domestic (U.S.) wildfires. We grant to verified individuals who qualify and are fundraising for themselves or on behalf of someone else. We may also provide grants to fundraisers benefiting small businesses and community relief efforts, or to vetted nonprofits coordinating long-term recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why donate to this fund?</strong>
</div>
<div>We provide swift support (within a day or two) to individuals and communities who are directly impacted by a wildfire, supporting as many people as we can.
</div>
<div>Donations to this fund are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by U.S. law. We’ll send you a receipt after you donate.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

Wildfire Relief Fund 2025

<div>In the early hours of January 8, 2025, the community of Pacific Palisades was abruptly transformed as a relentless wildfire swept through the area. Among the many affected is our dear friend, Amber Feld, and her family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Their home, filled with many sweet memories, was reduced to ashes. Their car, essential for daily life and son’s school commute, was destroyed. Even her son’s school, Marquez Charter School, a place of learning, growth, and community is gone. In a matter of hours, the foundations of their lives were gone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Despite this profound loss, Amber's resilience shines through. She remains steadfast, providing comfort and hope to her son, even as they face the daunting task of rebuilding their lives from the ground up.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Amber has always been the first to offer help to others, embodying the spirit of generosity and community. Even after the recent loss of her mother, Amber's light and joy always shines through. Her family needs our support. Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a significant impact, providing the resources and hope necessary for them to rebuild their lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In this time of need, we have established a GoFundMe campaign to support Amber and her family. Please consider donating to their GoFundMe page and sharing their story within your networks. Together, we can help them rebuild.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Together, with Keri Noel, Marisa Leichtling, and Alia Mansoori, we are raising funds for Amber and her family. We are friends of Amber's through college (Arizona State) and through our time working and living together in New York City. With Love, Coleen Sanders
</div>

Help Amber Feld's Family Rebuild After Wildfire

<div>Hi friends! My name is Howard Godfrey and I'm going into my senior year at Berklee College of Music!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over the past few years, so many beautiful friends and strangers have helped me pay for my education by raising $100,000 for my tuition, which I am <strong>eternally</strong> grateful for! The generosity and support of <em>so</em> many people put me through my first two years and have allowed to learn a lot wonderful things and create so much beautiful art.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Junior year was covered with loans and the small amount of federal aid that I received. While I <em>did</em> take a gap semester during the Spring of my Junior year, I returned this Summer to complete some classes! Due to the loans we currently have out, we are not eligible for another. This news has come at a rather unfortunate time as my tuition for the Fall '24 semester in due on August 8th (thanks to the 1-week extension I've been granted to try to figure out my financial situation).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since starting at Berklee, I've met so many wonderful people and life-long friends. I've gotten to work with some extremely talented musicians, and have grown as an artist and a person. I've gotten the opportunity to stage two of my original musicals, release 2 musical theatre cast recordings (with a 3rd in the works), record a 30-piece orchestra playing my original music, play on <em>numerous</em> sessions, perform with <em>amazing </em>musicians, and learn more about production than I thought I'd <em>ever</em> be interested in. Berklee has given me <em>so</em> many tools and opened up many doors. So many people have put their faith <em>me</em> -- some random kid who made a TikTok a few years ago -- and have invested in me and my dream, and I've made it my goal to pay <em>all </em>of those people back by doing the best I can in school and putting every resource to use.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While I hate asking for things, I know I'm too close to finishing this journey to give up now. Thus, I'm putting aside my pride and asking for help from anyone who feels it in their heart to give. Anything and everything helps!
</div>

<div>Every Thanksgiving, I volunteer at The Bowery Mission. This year, we have high goals to feed the growing number of people and families in need even beyond Thanksgiving.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>The Bowery Mission is a place of welcome, care, and healing in New York City.</strong> The Bowery Mission has served neighbors experiencing homelessness and hunger since the 1870s, when its neighborhood came to define the term “skid row.”

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Help us help more families -- and GoFundMe.org is going to match donations up to $5k this Giving Tuesday.</strong>

Help The Bowery Mission Feed Families With Flavor Flav

<div>The wildfires in Los Angeles have had a heartbreaking impact, especially on Black families from the Pasadena/Altadena region. As a community-rooted effort, Community Aid Dena, AFROPUNK, and WalkGood LA came together to amplify the GoFundMe Campaigns of Black families displaced by the Eaton Fire, through a consolidated list entitled <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pK5omSsD4KGhjEHCVgcVw-rd4FZP9haoijEx1mSAm5c/edit?gid=0#gid=0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Displaced Black Families GoFundMe Directory</a>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Powered by Flavor Flav, this fundraiser further amplifies the collective efforts to generate funds in support of Black families as they navigate displacement, loss of income, grief, essential needs in the short-term as they seek to rebuild.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Black community in Altadena shares a rich, historic, and resilient legacy, one spanning multiple generations. They paved a way for themselves through the Great Migration, segregation, redlining, and more to establish a community where their families could build, grow, and celebrate life together. Now, generations later they face an unimaginable tragedy brought on by the LA county wildfires.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Grants will be distributed by GoFundMe.Org.
