Announcing the Campaign to Save an Abused Child from Depths of Despair

Donate to a mother fighting for full custody to save her daughter from her abuser’s family

Woodbridge, VA -- May 22, 2015 -- Cat Bailey, loving mother to a beautiful daughter, announces her campaign to fund the process to petition for full custody and save her child from a traumatic abuse situation.

When Cat’s daughter was just 6 years old, she suffered through a situation in which she was molested by a close member of her father’s family. Despite an investigation involving both local police and Child Protective Services, the accusation was deemed unfounded and the predator was never punished for the crime. What’s worse, the child has now repeatedly been forced to spend time with this family member as her father’s family refuses to believe that she was abused.

Cat’s daughter is now being seen by multiple therapists and  child development evaluators, who have diagnosed her as having a debilitating case of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, caused by the abuse and the subsequent forced visitations with the accused family member. Meanwhile, the child is forced to spend entire summers with her father’s family, under the current court order.

Cat is now seeking the help of the crowdfund community to help her pay for both the psychiatric care for her daughter as well as court costs and lawyer fees to fight her daughter’s father for full custody. Cat is seeking at least $50,000 to cover these costs as well as any incidental costs that come along with this journey. Your donations can go a long way towards helping an abused child stay with her mother and out of harm’s way.

Announcing the Campaign to Support Child Abuse Victims

Provide the funding necessary to train first responders and provide counselling to victims

Dallas, TX -- April 21, 2015 -- The Hope for Children Foundation (http://www.hopeforchildrenfoundation.org/) announces their campaign to seek funding to continue to support and educate first responders, families and children to protect against child abuse, bullying, and domestic violence.

Helping children and families is the goal of Hope for Children Foundation. This organization works to provide guidance, support, suggestions, answers and education, helping to find the right path of action for protecting the child and family from abusers. They provide training to first responders, law enforcement officers, as well as judges and court personnel to help them understand the signs of child abuse and how they can follow through with securing the safety of the victim.

Hope for Children Foundation also provides training on The Violence Against Women Act, which provides protection for men, women and children involved in domestic violence. Cases of violence against men and the elderly are also covered under this act, as children are often involved in these situations as well.

The state and federal law enforcement training provided within the Hope For Children Foundation FREE Video Training (available through their website), showcase different violent crimes committed against children and/or adults, revealing the level of protection received when victims of violent crimes prevail in court.

Your support and generous donations to the Foundation will be used to support abuse victims and continue educating first responders and others in contact with abused children/adults.

It is time for victims, their families, neighbors and the general public to receive this knowledge. United we can take steps to help stop child abuse!

Announcing the Campaign to Help a Struggling Selfless Man

Help provide funding to help a man support his family

Denver, CO  – March 14, 2015 – Frances Mukaikubo and her fiancee, Edgar Harper, announce the campaign to raise money to help pay off their substantial debt. Edgar has been supporting his fiancee and her ailing mother for the past few months. After making the difficult decision to purchase a home for all three to share, Edgar experienced cut backs at work that resulted in a devasting loss of income. As neither his fiancee or her 93 year old mother are able to work, their home and bills rely on his only income. All three face impending foreclosure if they can't get back on their feet very, very soon.

Right now they are falling behind on their bills, including the mortgage, HOA dues, utilities, etc.. Due to the amount that Edgar travels each day, his car also needs significant repairs, which includes new brakes, shocks, struts and replacement tires to keep it safe on his job. He has to drive over 200 miles in the mountains, here in Colorado, in the winter everyday and he needs a really safe car to do his route and make it home safely to us. He has already slid off the road while working this winter, and luckily did only minor damage to his car that he can't get fixed because of the insurance deductible.

This campaign is solely about raising money for the necessities so the family's life can start and then Edgar will be take all responsibilities of keeping the home viable and profitable. The family is seeking $5,000 to help pay off the expensive car repairs as well as the bill they have become delinquent on. Please breathe life back into this family, and they will take every dollar donated and use it to repair Edgar's car, pay off delinquent bills and hopefully set some aside in savings so they can be a little more secure in their financial future.

Announcing the Campaign to Bring Lesley Home

Help fund the travel and living expenses required to bring a woman back to her family for medical treatment

Brockton, MA  – March 9, 2015 – Annette Christine, dedicated friend and tireless supporter, announces the campaign to bring her friend back home to begin medical treatment for a variety of debilitating ailments.

Only a month before her wedding at the age of 25, Lesley suffered a heart attack. It was discovered that Peripheral Artery Disease was the cause, and is also the cause of misdiagnosed blood clot formations and nerve damage that have resulted in her inability to fully use her left leg. Recently she was given odds of a 50% chance of death in 5 years and 70% in 10 years. 

Unfortunately, the state she resides in has substandard healthcare, but strict guidelines regarding pain medication. Although she lives in constant pain due to the nerve damage , which resulted from prolonged arterial blockage, Lesley has no access to any pain medication. Only a pain management physician can prescribe the medication, and her medicaid insurance will not pay for pain management. Now she received a letter saying her Medicaid will end March 31st.

Lesley's only wish is to move her and her family back to Massachusetts, where she can receive quality care before she runs out of time. Clots are constantly trying to form, despite her being on 4 different blood thinners. There is also a very real possibility of amputation in the near future. Above all, she needs access to pain management care.

Please help raise enough money for Lesley to relocate here, along with enough for a few months of living expenses so she and her family can focus on getting her care started right away.

Announcing the Campaign to Reunite a Child with her Father

Help a Little Girl Visit her Father Overseas While he Fights for Our Country

Chubbuck, Idaho  – February 13, 2015 – The Ohara family, consisting of two loving parents and a beautiful little girl, announce the campaign to fund their daughter's trip to visit her father in Korea as he fights for the United States Army.

It can be incredibly difficult for any couple to be separated, and the Oharas are no different. In their case, however, their daughter also suffers the sacrifice of having a father in the military. While they are able to keep in contact via phone, e-mails, web chats and more, it just isn't the same as seeing your family in person.

The Oharas opened this GoFundMe project to attempt to raise money to take their daughter for a visit to Korea, where her father is stationed. They hope to raise at least $4,500, which will cover flights for both mother and daughter, a hotel room for their visit, as well as other travel expenses that come with such a visit (including travel, incidentals, meals, etc).

By donating to this fundraising effort, you are, quite simply, reuniting a child with her beloved father. Please help this little girl see her father again, and make his long period of service for the United States go a little faster.

Announcing the Campaign to Help a Struggling Family Get Back on Their Feet

Help the Contreras family break the cycle of financial hardship and find a safe home for their children.

Sacremento, CA – January 12, 2015 – The Contreras, a family of five, consists of two loving parents and three wonderful daughters ages 4,5, and 13. The family became homeless on 9-6-14 after being evicted due to an unexpected change in management, resulting in their losing their home in favor of tenants better able to afford a higher rent.

The family moved their belongings to Sacremento, CA, and quickly found themselves having car trouble. Their van is no longer safe to drive and exists primarily to hold their limited personal belongings. It has become a difficult task to find parking for the vehicle that will not result in tickets or towing.

While Mr. Contrera's husband's job will eventually turn into full time, and raises will apply after six months, both parents are currently only able to work part-time. Covering food, shelter or transportation is becoming more and more difficult. 

The family is asking for donations that will cover a variety of needs:  As the family applies for new housing, they will need to cover the cost of application fees, deposits, and first few months rent. The other funds would go towards getting a new used mini van. The monies received will allow the Contreras family to afford food, clothing and provide just enough to cover monthly rent.

As a family with 2 very young children, and one in middle school, Mrs. Contreras is growing increasingly more concerned about their safety and wellbeing. Finding schooling has been unsucessful due to their temporarily homeless state, and they have been forced to live in areas that are rife with crime.

A very hard working family, the Contreras are deeply grateful for every penny that can be donated to their cause. Their children need your help!

Announcing the Justice in an Unjust World Campaign

This is for an empowered mother of 2 and who always fights for others and deserves someone fighting for her.

Ceres, CA – October 25, 2014 – Due to a required binding arbitration process, the lawsuit is sealed and anonymity is important where we can’t mention the person who this campaign is being raised for.  However, what can be said is that she is a very caring and giving person. Always fighting for everyone to be the best and to obtain what is just. We want to give her justice by raising money on GoFundMe to help her through this time of struggle.

She is a mother to two young children, her husband was diagnosed with melanoma cancer and he was undergoing treatment when all of this started.  The family was going through hell thinking that they would not see their daddy for much longer. Fortunately, the melanoma did not go into the bloodstream and the surgery removed all the cancer.

During these hard times, instead of sympathy her employer gave her termination. She, wrongfully, lost her lawsuit against her employer and is now required to pay the defense’s lawyer’s cost. She wholeheartedly felt discrimination, retaliation, and wrongful termination during her husband’s cancer treatment. Unfortunately the world of arbitration is not fair. Arbitration is for corporate America, not Americans. 

She has not been able to find a salary job since her termination in 2012 and is having a hard time with two young children to support. Needless to say, they are in a horrible financial situation and this judgment has pushed the family passed their financial limits.

A GoFundMe campaign was created to give her, her justice. The hope is for her to walk away with her head held high. A lot of women accept discrimination and inequality in the work place because they do not know their rights or they do not want to face horrible outcomes like hers. Yes, fighting for what’s right is hard and it may not give you the outcome you seek. However, if there’s a will then there’s a way and woman need to keep fighting regardless of outcome. If we keep fighting, then eventually, the fights will diminish and they will get easier.  

Please help raise the money for her, so that she can keep fighting and keep holding her head high. When rocks unite together, big and small, collectively, they can take a beating from the massive ocean. As people, we need to stand together and keep fighting for equality.
