"A SMILE FOR KENNY : RESTORING HOPE , REBUILDING LIVES " Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests, and potential donors, Allow me to share a story that will touch your hearts and, hopefully, inspire you to join me in making a significant impact in someone's life. My name is Kenny Myers, and I stand before you today not just as an individual, but as a symbol of hope, resilience, and the power of collective kindness. Throughout my life, I've been known for my positivity and infectious smile. However, life has an unpredictable way of challenging us in ways we could never anticipate. Recently, I've faced an unimaginable hardship - a challenge that has not only affected my physical health but has taken a toll on my overall well-being. My teeth have been breaking off, causing immense pain and making even the simplest acts, like eating, a daily struggle. I stand here not seeking sympathy, but rather, I'm reaching out for your support in a journey towards healing. The dental issues I am facing have not only impacted my ability to enjoy the simple pleasures of life but have also resulted in severe kidney damage due to infection. The truth is, I can't face this battle alone. I find myself in a situation where the financial burden of addressing these health issues is overwhelming. As much as I believe in the strength of the human spirit to overcome adversity, I recognize the need for a helping hand. This is where you, our generous donors, come into play. I am launching a campaign with a modest goal of $10,000, and your contributions will serve as the foundation for a new chapter in my life. Every dollar raised will not only bring relief from physical pain but will also contribute to rebuilding my life and restoring my sense of self. Now, you might be wondering how the funds will be utilized. Let me assure you that every cent will be invested wisely to ensure the most significant impact on my health and well-being. The breakdown of the funds is as follows: Dental Procedures ($7,000): Comprehensive dental examinations Dental restorations and treatments Necessary extractions and surgeries Dental hygiene and preventative care Medical Expenses ($2,000): Kidney damage evaluation and treatment Medications and therapies to address infection and support kidney function Regular medical check-ups and follow-ups Awareness Campaign ($1,000): Creating and maintaining a YouTube channel to document my journey Sharing my story to raise awareness about the importance of dental and overall health Encouraging others to seek help and support when facing similar challenges Your donations, whether big or small, will not only contribute to my personal recovery but will also serve as a beacon of hope for others facing similar struggles. I invite you to be a part of this transformative journey, a journey that goes beyond restoring a smile – it's about rebuilding lives. In closing, I want to express my deepest gratitude for your time and consideration.

Please take some time to review this life-changing post!

In December 2023, my best friend, my rock, my strong, intelligent mother, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease. This diagnosis has been devastating to me and my family. This disease is heartbreaking and cruel, stripping people of their dignity. Nobody deserves this. I know I am not alone—many friends and families are going through the same ordeal, often without any help. We need better support for those with the illness, places for care, support for carers and loved ones, and financial assistance for those unable to afford care homes. Carers often face mental health challenges with the emotional pain of seeing their loved one’s change. I am the Practice Manager for law firm, Murray Hughman. The team have been hugely supportive and in November this year have agreed to join me on a charity fundraising trek to Iceland with Discover Adventure to raise vital funds for Alzheimer’s Research UK. I will also be arranging countless fundraisers throughout the year to boost the amount we raise! I won’t lie – taking on the additional responsibility of fundraising has been a challenge in itself. The more I struggle with my responsibilities as a mother, partner, daughter, and manager, the more I realise the importance of raising awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s Research UK. Life is stressful. Being a working mother is stressful. Adding a parent's Alzheimer's diagnosis can make it feel unbearable. Something as simple as forgetting your son's water bottle for nursery can reduce you to tears. You become a carer for the person who brought you into this world, managing their medication and finances while trying to keep on top of your own life admin. Sometimes being busy is a blessing. It distracts from the cruel reality that your loved one is slowly slipping away. It's terrifying for both the person with dementia and their loved ones. It's scary, sad, and heartbreaking every day. It's not their fault—they may become difficult, get angry when you try to help, cancel important appointments, change passwords, fall victim to scams, or shop excessively online. The frustration and guilt can be overwhelming. The guilt of getting angry, not doing enough, and losing precious time weighs heavily. Spending time on “Madmin” (Mum and Dad Admin) takes away from moments with them as Granny and Grandad. Balancing work, life, and their care is a constant struggle, and the regret of not spending enough time with them is inevitable. The grief begins even in the early stages as relationships change, conversations fade, and shared jokes and good times become rare. Alzheimer's Research UK is dedicated to finding a cure for this devastating disease. That's why I chose them as our charity. When life feels overwhelming, we don't just stop—we work. #ForACure #murrayhughman #charity Please help and donate if you can – for more information see website for links to our just giving page https://lnkd.in/dmQdXQ4g

🫘 TLDR: We urgently need to expand our pool of living donors for Scott Jacobs 🙏 "If you had two life vests and knew you could save the life of another, would you hold on to both or give one away?" ✨ cpmckidneydonor.org Scott Jacobs 10/2/1971 We've been truly humbled by the incredible outpouring of love and support. It’s heartwarming to see so many friends, family, clients, and colleagues, both old and new, stepping forward to potentially save a life. However, the reality is that only about 1 in 10 who volunteer become viable donors due to various health restrictions such as high blood pressure, BMI parameters, and mental health concerns. We have a few more in the screening process, but we must continue our efforts. Scott's situation has become more urgent, and he is nearing the point where dialysis will be necessary. Our hope is to secure a transplant before it reaches that stage, but time is increasingly critical. **How You Can Help:** 🩸 If you're type A or O blood, we especially need you. If you don’t know your type but want to help, please apply anyway. 🅰️ and 🅾️ ✅ After completing the form at cpmckidneydonor.org please DM me so I can ensure the transplant coordinator prioritizes your application. **Not a match or unable to donate?** You can still play a crucial role! Please like 👍, comment 💬, and reshare ♻️ this post to help us reach as many potential donors as possible. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Your willingness to help is a beacon of hope for us. 💖🙏

Help for Oscar my beloved husband-Cerebral Ischemi https://gofund.me/c7b40509 Dear friends, family, and community, I am writing to you with a heavy heart and a flicker of hope, seeking support for my beloved husband, Oscar Alberto Pachiana. We have faced an overwhelming challenge that has changed our lives in unimaginable ways. Oscar has been diagnosed with multiple permanent brain ischemias, and the reality we face is that his life expectancy is limited. Oscar's medical situation is extremely complex and requires continuous medical attention, specialized therapies, and full-time care. Additionally, we are facing considerable medical costs that we cannot handle alone. The financial burden has become overwhelming, and we are seeking the support of our community to ensure that Oscar receives the best possible care. Oscar, have memory loss and lack of control over his bodily functions. Since then, we have been fighting this disease day by day. My husband has undergone countless consultations with neurologists, psychiatrists, and palliative therapists, but the financial burden this entails is overwhelming. As his symptoms worsen, the need for ongoing treatment and care becomes increasingly urgent and added to the diagnosis of stress due to uprooting, a medical board assessed that Oscar should return to his environment in Italy. And so, in April 2023, we managed to return to Italy where Oscar shows slight improvement under various treatments and medications to keep him stable, but the healthcare system in Europe is very expensive. That is why I turn to you, friends, family, and anyone with a kind heart willing to help. Every small contribution you can make will make a big difference in my husband's life and ours. The funds raised will go towards covering the costs of medical treatment, rehabilitation therapies, medications, and any other needs related to his condition. How You Can Help: We have created this GoFundMe campaign in the hope of raising funds to cover Oscar's medical costs, therapies, and daily needs. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to providing Oscar with the care and support he deserves. If you are unable to contribute financially, sharing this campaign on your social networks or with friends and family is also a valuable way to help. Gratitude: We deeply appreciate any show of support, whether through donations, positive thoughts, or sharing our story. Every gesture means the world to us as we face this uncertain journey. Our faith and love keep us strong in this difficult time. We sincerely appreciate your consideration and support on this path. Together, we can provide Oscar with the comfort and quality of life he deserves until the day that God does not allow it. Together, we can give my husband the hope and support he so desperately needs in this difficult battle. Thank you very much for your generosity and solidarity! María Hortensia Chocobar

The EOFY is fast approaching, and the Australian Thyroid Foundation (ATF) needs your support to continue to help you and future generations who may be living with an undiagnosed thyroid disorder. Statistics show 1 in 10 will be diagnosed during their lifetime. As there is well over 1 million Australians living with an undiagnosed thyroid disorder, the ATF needs to increase our services and awareness programs nationally to reach out and help improve patient outcomes. Education and resources for GPs and Healthcare Professionals are essential. Patients visit a GP to determine a diagnosis, so it is important GPs have the best resources to diagnose and treat a thyroid disorder. Once a diagnosis has been made, patients need the best support services and information during their thyroid journey, as you will know, if you have been diagnosed with a thyroid disorder. Thyroid Disorders can affect individual patients differently and as the Australian thyroid patient authority, the ATF need help to continue and greatly appreciate your support to do so. Please consider how you can help us to help you and others. Donations large or small or a Will Bequest will make a difference and will ensure we continue and improve our services: https://lnkd.in/gxb_63yQ #thyroid #ATF #charity #nonprofit #taxes #australianthyroid #willbequest #thyroidhealth

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the protective covering of nerve fibers, disrupting communication between the brain and the rest of the body. This can lead to a wide range of symptoms including fatigue, muscle weakness, numbness, difficulty with coordination, and problems with vision, among many other symptoms affecting basic function. The course of MS varies greatly among individuals. Some experience relatively mild symptoms and others (such as myself) face more severe disability over time. The treatment options aim to manage symptoms, slow the progression of the disease, and improve our quality of life, but this isn't 100% for everyone. So far there is no cure, and there are no ways of reversing the damage that has already been caused to the body. I myself have MS and over the last few years I have gradually declined in mobility and my ability to function, and my health has taken a nosedive further since the middle of February. I'm doing something while I'm still physically and mentally able, as there will come a day (sooner than I'd like) when I am unable. So far I have raised £120 for the MS SOCIETY. Please keep sharing and donating if you can spare even £1, Multiple Sclerosis is an absolutely cruel autoimmune disease and research into a cure, better treatments and finding out what actually causes it never ends. But funding is needed for this, so donations are detrimental. And in return I'll be getting thrown from the sky strapped to a (probably 7ft) human to land for me on the ground. 💜💓💜💓💜 I’m helping raise money for The Multiple Sclerosis Society!
