<div>My name is Joshua Blood, and I’m reaching out to ask for support for my incredible wife, Jessie. Jessie has been diagnosed with Interstitial Lung Disease, caused by Mixed Connective Tissue Disease, a rare and aggressive condition that continues to destroy her lungs even with treatment. Despite her strength and determination, her lung function has dropped below 45%, and doctors have confirmed that she will need a double lung transplant within the next year to survive.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Jessie is a devoted mother to our 8-year-old daughter, and a loving stepmom to our 12 and 14-year-old children. Without this transplant, she may never get to see them graduate, go to prom, or walk down the aisle. We are fighting with everything we have to give her that chance.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>A transplant is just the beginning of a long and demanding recovery journey. Jessie and I will need to relocate near the Mayo Clinic for 3 to 4 months after surgery for intensive follow-up care, physical therapy, and constant medical monitoring. During this time:

</div>

<div>	•	Jessie will be unable to work, and we will lose a major portion of our household income.

</div>

<div>	•	We will still be responsible for our regular household bills back home.

</div>

<div>	•	We will face costs for temporary housing, medications, fuel, childcare, and co-pays for frequent medical appointments.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We humbly ask for your support in this fight. Every donation—no matter the size—will help us breathe a little easier and focus on what truly matters: giving Jessie a future.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you’re unable to give, please share our story. Your kindness and prayers mean more than we can express.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>— Josh, Jessie &amp; family

Being Weezy Ain’t Easy – Help Jessie Get New Lungs

<div><strong>Help Us Support Elora in Her Fight Against Leigh Syndrome</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Hi, we’re Blaine &amp; Courtney Toler, and one of the greatest blessings in our journey has been the incredible community that has formed around us, a community built on love, support, and lifting each other up in times of need.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Right now, we are rallying together to support Carter and Dylana Lovern, devoted parents to their beautiful daughter, Elora.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Meet Elora - Our 1 in 40,000</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Elora is a fighter, but she faces a battle no child should have to endure. She has been diagnosed with <strong>Leigh Syndrome</strong>, a rare and progressive disease that affects the central nervous system. This disorder is caused by a genetic mutation that impacts the mitochondria, the “powerhouse” of the cells, leading to energy deficiencies that can severely damage or even destroy cells throughout the body.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Leigh Syndrome affects only <strong>1 in 40,000 children</strong>, and while there is currently no cure, treatment consists of medications and supplements to help manage symptoms and slow progression. Hearing this diagnosis has been devastating, but Elora’s strength inspires us to fight alongside her.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Elora’s Journey</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Elora’s story has been one of resilience from the very beginning. She made her entrance into the world at just<strong> 33 weeks' gestation</strong>, spending her first five weeks in the NICU. She struggled to breathe on her own, and though doctors prepared for her to go home on oxygen, she defied expectations, coming off oxygen support just 24 hours before discharge.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>For a while, it seemed like she was on the other side of her early challenges. But as she grew, her parents noticed something wasn’t quite right. She wasn’t gaining weight as expected. After multiple pediatrician visits and specialist consultations, she was diagnosed with <strong>growth hormone deficiency (GHD)</strong>.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>An MRI, meant to assess her pituitary gland, revealed something far more concerning. A quick Google search of the suspected diagnosis left her parents heartbroken, Leigh Syndrome. The prognosis they found was devastating: most children with this condition do not live past the age of three. And Elora was just months away from her second birthday.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Still, there was hope. Initial genetic tests came back negative for mitochondrial mutations, giving her family a brief sigh of relief. But at a follow-up with her geneticist, additional tests showed <strong>elevated lactate levels</strong>, confirming a mitochondrial disorder.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Two weeks ago, Elora was hospitalized for<strong> five days</strong> as doctors worked to regulate her levels and place an NG feeding tube to help provide the nutrition she needs. This is only the beginning of a <strong>long and difficult road</strong> ahead. No two cases of Leigh Syndrome look the same, but her family remains steadfast in their faith, praying for slow progression, and ultimately, a cure.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>How You Can Help</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Elora deserves a<strong> life full of love, joy, and every opportunity possible</strong>. Her family is doing everything they can to support her, but they cannot do it alone. Any contribution, whether big or small, will go directly toward <strong>medical expenses, specialized care, and ensuring Elora has everything she needs to fight this battle.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Even if you aren’t able to donate, simply taking the time to read her story and share it helps raise awareness for Leigh Syndrome. Every bit of support means the world to Elora, her family, and everyone who loves her.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We are holding onto faith, hope, and the belief that miracles happen every day. Thank you for standing with us in Elora’s fight.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With love and gratitude,

</div>

Support Elora's Fight Against Leigh Syndrome

<div>Good afternoon, my name is Allyson, and I am the owner of Cheer Extreme Calvert. As most of you know, cheer teams become family, and one of our own needs us. <strong>Robert Prewitt was on his way home from a work trip to his lovely wife Belinda and two daughters, Daisie and Dalila.</strong> Belinda tucked the girls into bed last night. They all eagerly awaited his return home. The girls had been raving all week at the gym about 'daddy coming home from work and would be there when they woke up.' Sadly, we all know Robert didn't make it home to Belinda and the girls.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>We as a community are asking if you can help donate, pray, share this message so the Prewitts can grieve and not have the financial burden as well.</strong> Belinda homeschooled the girls and is very active with Cheer Extreme Boosters. The funds raised will help the family with memorial expenses and anything they may need in the days to come. Belinda has been an avid supporter of the gym and all youth sports. Let's wrap our arms around this loving family and let them know we have their backs.

</div>

Help the Prewitt Family Through Tragedy

<div>Hello, I'm Justin Nunley, a digital creator and social media influencer. Today, I'm reaching out on behalf of a family facing extraordinary challenges, who wish to remain anonymous. Their struggles are profound, and they need our collective support.
</div>
<div>In 2019, tragedy struck when the father suffered a life-altering injury, breaking his neck. Despite their love for LSU and their unwavering spirit, the family's journey since then has been filled with unimaginable hurdles. The mother bravely battled lung cancer, undergoing a lobectomy, while both parents contend with heart failure. Their resilience is remarkable, but their circumstances are dire.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Their son has been their rock, but he too faces his own health battles with an autoimmune disorder and psoriatic arthritis. Despite his best efforts, he's been unable to fully care for his parents due to his own health challenges. Now, they've lost their home and are living with family, facing the daily struggle of transportation in a dilapidated, 20-year-old car that barely functions.
</div>
<div>When they tried to raise funds in the past, they received minimal support, leaving them feeling overwhelmed and isolated. But now, with your help, we can make a difference. Every donation, no matter how small, will directly impact their lives, providing vital assistance for medical expenses, housing, and transportation.
</div>
<div>The generosity of strangers like you can transform their story from one of despair to one of hope. Let's come together as a community to lift this family up during their darkest hour. Your kindness will not go unnoticed or unappreciated.
</div>
<div>Thank you for considering supporting this anonymous family in need. Your compassion and generosity will make a world of difference.
</div>
<div>The beneficiary of the funds is JW. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div>Justin Nunley

Every Child Deserves a Christmas

Tiffany Marie Basch, 18 years of age, tragically passed in a car incident early Sunday morning. Tiffany is a Niceville High graduate of the 2020 class and was studying to become a Physical Therapist at UCF class of 2024. She was one of the sweetest souls you’d ever encounter, and she loved people better than just about anyone I know. Her smile could light up the darkest night. My heart, and the hearts of many, are so broken over this loss. The Basch family is devastated, as they have to mourn the loss of a true angel on Earth. I am calling out Niceville and surrounding areas to help them in their time of grief. We are blessed to live in one of the greatest communities in the world, and in moments like this, it is imperative we come together in an effort to provide relief and comfort to the Basch family. No family should ever be burdened by the cost of laying their loved one to rest, so I implore you to consider donating to this fund in order to allow the family to focus solely on grieving their daughter. All proceeds will go to service costs and the family. Bless this family with your support, thoughts, and prayers. God Bless Tiff, the Basch’s, and this wonderful place we call home.

Relief Fund for Tiffany Basch’s Family

Update- The holidays should be a time to celebrate, spend time with loved ones and prepare for a  new year full of adventures. Christmas this year will look quite different. Instead of hanging up baby’s first Christmas, they will be hanging angel wings on the tree. There will not be matching Pj’s or the new Xbox Kohltan wanted under the tree. The excitement of watching your children open their presents will be overshadowed by pain. Losing a child is something no parent should have to experience, a heartbreak that is completely unfathomable. The Ward’s are living every parents’ worst nightmare. On top of that, Kohltan‘s medical bills are starting to come in (life flight, brain surgery, surgery on his leg, MRIs, CT scans, X-rays, 5 days in the pediatric ICU). The driver of the vehicle had the minimum policy required and it will not cover the majority of  the medical bills that were accrued. Asher and Caleb have missed work since the accident. All donations are a tremendous help to the family during their darkest time. Thank you to EVERYONE for your prayers, thoughts, and donations. are starting this go fund me account to help with the needs to keep this wonderful family going.
