Donate to Help Prevent Global Warming | $610 raised of $500 goal • 12 donors | raised of $500 goal | 12 donations | Parker Hagen is organizing this fundraiser to benefit Center for Carbon Removal. |
My name is Parker Hagen and for my personal project, I am raising awareness about global warming and how we can help do our part to prevent it. Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to benefit Center for Carbon Removal, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

Support Amazon Conservation Roof Renovation | $765 raised of $2,000 goal • 12 donors | raised of $2,000 goal | 12 donations | Kellen Martins is organizing this fundraiser. |
Hi there, my name is Kellen! A group of conservationists who work in the Peruvian Amazon need our help fixing their damaged roof caused by the heavy rains over the past 2 years. Their research station, Biological Las Pierdas, is located near Las Piedra River which runs 650km and flows into the Amazon River. The Las Piedra River is a major tributary of the Madre De Dios region, where biologists, conservationists, rangers, and nature enthusiasts come to study and explore the biodiversity of wildlife and plants. They also run ecotourism groups to help raise awareness of environmental issues. In 2021, I had the extraordinary opportunity to visit the Peruvian Amazon, where I had memorable experiences connecting with the natural world and meeting some of the most inspiring people.
The lodge holds 20 guests, and the station contains its own kitchen and bathrooms along with a comfortable open space for leisure/relaxation. They hire guides, chefs and boat drivers from local indigenous communities who carry deep knowledge about medicinal plants, wildlife, and the ecosystem. Working in ecotourism has given them a stable income to provide for their family while also working to protect their land; however, due to the pandemic, it has been difficult to attract tourists and raise enough funds to work on the station's infrastructure and any necessary remodeling. Their goal for future travels is to lead groups to help develop more scientific research and conservationist work focused on plant medicine and biological diversity. Currently, the roof's station has large holes where further destruction will prevent them from holding travelers in safe conditions and going forward with any significant work. Conservationists need your help! To learn more about their expeditions and ecotourism you can follow their IG

Hello! This is Dohoon Kwag and Chloe Sanders, and we’re doing an environmental project. Every year, about 80 billion pounds of food (130 billion meals) goes to waste in the United States, and this waste contributes greenhouse gases equally to that of 37 million cars. This year on Dohoon’s birthday, we want to help make a difference by making a donation to Waste Less Solutions, a local organization that works to reduce food waste and insecurity in Utah. Any donations are greatly appreciated!

Help Heal Lake Huntington, by the Lake Association | $800 raised of $10,000 goal • 10 donors | raised of $10,000 goal | 10 donations | Lake Huntington Lake Association is organizing this fundraiser. |
Lake Huntington is a nutrient-rich lake located in the Hamlet of Lake Huntington, within the Town of Cochecton in Sullivan County, NY.
Harmful algal blooms started to plague Lake Huntington approximately 10 years ago.
Most recently, a confirmed harmful algal bloom occurred in 2014; suspicious blooms have now occurred every year up to and including 2022.
Toxic algae blooms plague the lake during the warm summer months.
Due to low oxygen levels, the lake can no longer support trout and certain fish species.
Runoff water from many different sources, deforested land, new construction, and salted roads continue to add to the nutrient levels and decrease oxygen in the lake.
If no action is taken, the aquatic population will die off, and toxic algae blooms will consume the lake during summer.
Algae blooms have closed water bodies in the past due to the potential harm to humans and pets.
Your donation will go to efforts to help heal the lake and protect it for future generations.
Join us in December at the Narrowsburg Union for the winter art show, photos by Lindita Lushaj, all proceeds to support the Lake Huntington Lake Association.

HELLO!! Please consider helping out!
We are PGCulture, a Black-owned Business based out of Prince Georges's County, Maryland. This winter, we want to give back to a population that often goes overlooked, people experiencing homelessness. We decide to aid this population because WHY THE HELL NOT? There is a large homeless population in America and its honestly disgusting that the government hasn't done anything productive to help these people with their basic needs shelter, food, and water. We, PGCulture, have decided to step in the best way we know how, reaching out a hand and lending an ear.
The unfortunate truth is that we are all one paycheck or one medical bill away from being in their positions so we need to reach out a hand of kindness and understanding.
We want to put more good energy into the world during the holiday season, and its very cold outside here in the DMV.
We plan on providing them with 1 backpack filled with
2 pairs of Gloves
Reusable hand warmers
A fleece-lined hooded jacket
Fleece-lined pants
2 pairs of Thick socks
1 Thick blanket
1 fleece-lined hat
1 water bottle
Period products
Face mask
1 Scarf

Toothbrush and Toothpaste
We would also like to get them $10 visa gift card to any establishment so that they can purchase food.

Garlic’s New Home | $305 raised of $1,000 goal • 9 donors | raised of $1,000 goal | 9 donations | Alexis Waclawik is organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Gillian Glessman. |
My name is Alexis, and I am a full time college student in New York. I recently rescued a 6 week old stray kitten near my campus. I found him darting under cars in the middle of a busy intersection and could not bare to see him get hit. I ran into traffic to catch him, eventually cornering him near a campus building. I dropped everything and immediately took him home. He is too young to be adoptable, and all of the shelters in my area have rejected him, so I am his only option. I want to give him the life he deserves, which would require multiple vet visits for vaccines, wellness checks, and sterilization. This, along with the cost of basic supplies, is more than I can afford.
it is imperative to me that he has a home because the stray cat population in my area is an epidemic, resulting in the extinction of three entire species of birds. I am deeply dedicated to the ecological health of my community, and housing this cat would decrease the potential population of my local cat colonies since a single male cat can father 420,000 kittens in just five years.
For the health of this kitten as well as the health of my local bird populations I must keep Garlic (kitten).

$40: Origami Elephant
$50: One of each!

We saw this video and wanted to help: https://youtu.be/gMN4_gYjDH0
Kariega Game Reserve has acquired rewilded farmland that is now considered pristine habitat for many of Africa’s iconic native species. This means the introduction of a cheetah coalition, a second pride of lions, and significant migration space for many other species including iconic African elephants. The reserve will drop strategic fencing to create one 9,000-hectare wilderness in the western region of the reserve, which opens species migration corridors and creates new breeding territory for the wild inhabitants.
Most importantly, this rewilded land is perfectly suited for white and black rhinoceros.
Black rhinos are listed as critically endangered, with barely 5,000 remaining in the wild. Establishing and protecting a breeding population in the Eastern Cape is a major win for conservation of this species.
With more land and animals also comes the critical need for further protection. Save the Horns will support Global Conservation Force’s efforts to place anti-poaching unit rangers on the newly expanded grounds of the reserve. This includes patrols by vehicle, on foot, k-9 units, and horse mounted units. GCF’s ranger program centers around recruiting, training, and employing members of the surrounding community, which provides economic stimulation and a conservation-based career path that deters many from getting involved with poaching syndicates. Protections also include technological advancements in animal tagging and tracking.

Climate x US-China | $620 raised of $2,000 goal • 8 donors | raised of $2,000 goal | 8 donations | Joyce Wang is organizing this fundraiser. |
Hello! Thank you so much for being here :) My name is Joyce 王, and I am fundraising to support climate-related initiatives that have connections with both China and the US.
As many of you know, I have a deep personal and professional interest in geopolitical issues and their impact on global challenges of existential importance, such as climate and conservation. In addition to doing grantmaking work at my official job, I have also been pursuing a passion project as a member of the China Institute-Serica U.S.-China Next-Gen Leaders Circle (NGLC). NGLC is a network of young American and Chinese philanthropic leaders and social innovators, who are passionate about contributing towards social impact endeavors, with the goal of driving positive change through collaboration in both the U.S. and China. Each year, we raise funds and give grants to impact-driven initiatives that make positive contributions toward a designated theme.
This year, our theme is Climate and the Environment. I am extremely excited to be contributing to this cause and supporting exciting initiatives in the space!
I am personally raising $2,000 for NGLC's collective pool of funds, and I would appreciate your contribution, no matter how big or small! Your donation will make a real difference to our applicants who are working on exciting yet challenging ideas for a cause that you care about.
Here are a couple examples of initiatives that NGLC has supported in the past:
China Outdoors Collective is the first user-based English language platform dedicated to showcasing Chinese wilderness and environment to increase international resources protecting China’s last and most precious wild resources. The platform is designed around an interactive map tool that features these places and how Western users can support their protection efforts. It will empower Chinese photographers to be a direct bridge between China’s conservation NGOs and Western philanthropy and support.
Chengdu Urban Rivers Association (CURA) is a non-profit NGO dedicated to promoting the natural, recreational, and cultural values of rivers, particularly the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Founded in June 2003, CURA provides a unified voice representing environmental values on issues such as river conservation, environmental protection, development of ecological awareness, and promotion of sustainable development in urban and rural areas.
Your support would continue our work providing grants to organizations like this!
Please feel free to email Joyce at joycexinyiwang at gmail if you have any questions. Thank you!

Rockland Pond Restoration Part II | $1,300 raised of $5,000 goal • 9 donors | raised of $5,000 goal | 9 donations | Yin Ho is organizing this fundraiser. |
Rockland Pond Park is a wetlands area in the Short Beach neighborhood in Branford that a group of neighbors have been working hard to restore. In the fall of 2021, we gained the Inland Wetland Commission of Branford's approval for a plan to restore the wetlands. During the winter of 2021/2022, we began the long process of destroying and removing invasive species in the pond itself (phragmites) and in the area surrounding the pond (woody invasives). This work could not have not been done without the generosity of neighborhood donors who financed a team from All Habitats to target the phragmites and woody invasives in the area.
Our next steps are to finish clearing the dead invasive plants, create some habitat for wildlife, and begin the process of planting native plants in the area. The ultimate goal is to restore the pond into a thriving wetlands that will attract the native flora and fauna and create a beautiful treasure for the neighborhood and CT. The restoration efforts will run through the end of 2023. The restored wetlands will then be donated to the Branford Land Trust with a built-in mechanism to continue ongoing maintenance.
This Go-Fund-Me campaign is the second fundraiser for the restoration. The first fundraiser was from 2021-2022 and funded our ability to destroy and remove the phragmites as well as the woody invasive plants. This second fundraiser for 2022-2023 is to turn the dead woody invasives into habitats for wildlife, remove any remaining invasives, and plant new native plants in their place.
Please help us fund the second phase of the restoration. The money will go toward the final clearing of invasive plants and the planting of new native plants. Any amount you can give will be helpful-- $5, $10, $50, $100, or $500.
Thank you for supporting the restoration efforts of Rockland Pond Park.

Not to mention our home insurance isn’t paying for anything, and will not even pay for his hotel stay even though our home is unlivable. Please donate or share our story any thing will help.

Put Your Money “To Waste” – With Us! | $335 raised of $23,296 goal • 8 donors | raised of $23,296 goal | 8 donations | Todd Lindenstruth is organizing this fundraiser. |
We’re Todd and Tulip, the dynamic duo behind Pick of the Litter, a grassroots, volunteer effort to rid our town of roadside trash. Our motto: “We’re picking up what you’re putting down.”
We live in Hardwick, Vermont, a small, rural town located in Caledonia County, east of the Green Mountains on the banks of the Lamoille River. Touted as The Gateway to the Northeast Kingdom, Hardwick’s 38.5 square miles are home to roughly 3,000 people and 65 miles of municipal roads. The Lamoille Valley Rail Trail also passes through town, and VT Routes 14, 15, and 16 converge in Hardwick, as well, funneling thousands of cars and trucks through town each day.
Inspired by Miss Rumphius and tacitly endorsed by Woodsy the Owl and Smokey the Bear, we have been regularly collecting litter in town for the past several months – primarily on foot. We also troll for trash along the backroads in our car, and, although there is a seemingly never-ending stream of discarded cigarette butts, beverage containers, and candy wrappers to be picked up, we’ve been making steady progress and have received a lot of positive feedback from members of our community. Weather and daylight permitting, we dedicate ten hours each week to collecting trash.
In order to increase our impact, monies raised through this fundraiser will be applied toward the purchase of a Club Car Carryall 510 LSV, a street-legal, electric utility vehicle that will enable us to clean a larger area in less time and to do so in a safe and environmentally friendly way. An LSV will also allow us to collect larger items, such as discarded tires and appliances, and it will increase our visibility, which we hope will inspire others to pitch in.
Thank you for taking the time to consider our proposal. Any contribution that you make will be greatly appreciated and is guaranteed to “go to waste”.

Rainforest Reforestation Project in Ecuador | $250 raised of $2,023 goal • 8 donors | raised of $2,023 goal | 8 donations | Alyssa Capuano (going towards Finca la Argentina) is organizing this fundraiser. |
Informational video: https://youtu.be/iF9ZQ2mAya4
Hi, my name is Alyssa, I am fundraising for the Finca la Argentina in Puyo, Ecuador, at the foothills of the Amazon rainforest. What was once land to a large sugar cane plantation is now a vibrant reforestation project right at the mouth of the rainforest.
Lupe, the matriarch of this household, grew up on this land. As she grew older, she realized her passion for restoring this, once, biodiverse-lacking land into the sanctuary of plants and animals that it originally was. To do this, they steward the land by planting a large variety of native plants to restore the natural biodiverse ecosystem. In turn, many of these plants and the cycle of the ecosystem function as shelter and food sources for the large variety of monkeys, birds, hummingbirds, frogs, snakes, guatusa, ants, etc. This helps to ensure that these highly desirable animals are safe and not being targeted for resale elsewhere.
This work is done not only by the family, but also by the volunteers that work and stay at this work exchange. The project does not have funding from the government or any foundation, so the money to support this project comes from the $100/week fee to stay at this beautiful Finca. For years, this was sufficient money and labor to support their project. However, since Covid-19, there has been a significant decrease in volunteers. So I am starting this go fund me to not only raise money for their project, but also to bring awareness to this wonderful work exchange opportunity.
The money raised will go towards:
1) Purchasing more plants to continue expanding the shelter and food sources for the monkeys (marmosets, squirrel monkeys, and saddle-back tamarin), birds and hummingbirds (soooo many varieties), frogs, snakes, lizards, guatusa, etc.
2) Help revamp the cabanas on the property to make them more cozy and comfortable for volunteers to stay in (they have two rooms in their house for volunteers that are in good shape, but the cabanas on the property are bare and need proper furnishing)
3) If the first two are met --> Re-installing windows in their kitchen (there was a hurricane about a year ago that ruined their kitchen. Another fundraiser helped them to rebuild most of it but the windows are still open which allows bugs and the weather elements (mainly the very intense rains) inside).
This project is very important. As this city and other cities at the mouth of the Amazon continue to expand and urbanize, the rainforest is being destroyed. The species at the mouth of the amazon are very different from those deeper in the jungle. It is crucial that these plants and animals are protected by giving them safe shelter and food sources.
Thank you for considering to donate, even $1 helps! Please feel free to share this fundraiser or the links below (more about the work exchange and project) with anyone who might be interested in volunteering. Lupe is truly one of the kindest souls I have ever met. I felt at home there the moment I walked in and would highly recommend this experience.

Austin Dish Lending Library Storage Container | $450 raised of $2,500 goal • 8 donors | raised of $2,500 goal | 8 donations | Abby Rodgers is organizing this fundraiser. |
The Austin Dish Lending Library is a volunteer-led organization that provides free reusable alternatives to single-use dishware for Austin area events! We are fundraising for a shipping container and greatly appreciate any donation you can make to help us continue our operations!
We are in need of a larger storage unit with easy access and are fundraising to purchase a shipping container. This will allow us to continue offering our free service and accept more donations to grow our collection. Our operations are currently on pause until we can get a new storage unit.
Our goal is to help Austin have an affordable option for reusable dishware to help Austin reach its zero waste goals! Since the Austin Dish Lending Library opened in 2019 we have saved over 8,000 items that would have gone to the landfill by using reusables.

Thomas' Eagle Scout Project- Meadow Planting | $370 raised of $350 goal • 8 donors | raised of $350 goal | 8 donations | Thomas Antinore is organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Michael Antinore. |
Hi, I am Thomas Antinore. In order to earn my Eagle Scout rank, I'm holding a service project to plant a meadow in Seattle's Maple Leaf Park. The park historically was overrun with invasive blackberry bushes, but they have been cleared by Friends of Maple Leaf Park, the beneficiary organization. Now we are planting a cleared plot with grasses, bulbs, and perennials which are all native to the Pacific Northwest. These native plants will prevent the return of the blackberries and provide habitat and food for local wildlife. The meadow will also bloom in the summer and look nice.
To make the project happen, I need to purchase bark mulch, sand, and lunch for our volunteers. Feel free to donate if you are able. Thank you for your support!

Hope for children in need & a forest under threat | $642 raised of $50,000 goal • 8 donors | raised of $50,000 goal | 8 donations | Colin Jackson is organizing this fundraiser to benefit A Rocha USA. |
A Rocha Kenya is a conservation organization committed to working with local communities to have them thrive and, in so doing, protect rare and unique wildlife on the Kenyan coast. This campaign is specifically raising funds to allow children to attend high school and, in the process, save one of Africa’s most precious forests, the Arabuko-Sokoke Forest (ASF).
By donating, it is a win-win-win situation! Children win by getting an education, 80% of whom otherwise can’t afford it. Families win by being assisted with alternative livelihoods and having their children have a chance to get good jobs. The forest wins by being actively protected rather than exploited.
Families living around Arabuko-Sokoke Forest on the Kenyan coast struggle to make ends meet. Soils are poor, and a drying climate makes farming very hard. Paying High School fees is particularly difficult. Parents are invariably forced to illegally cut trees for timber/charcoal and trap animals for bushmeat from the adjacent forest to earn cash for school fees.
ASF is renowned globally for its rare and threatened wildlife. Worldwide, the Golden-rumped Sengi (or elephant-shrew) is only found in and near ASF. The same for Clarke’s Weaver. Africa’s smallest owl, the Sokoke Scops Owl (4” tall), has 90% of the world’s population in ASF. It is a beautiful and diverse forest – but threatened by illegal logging and trapping.
That is why the ASSETS program (Arabuko-Sokoke Schools and Eco-Tourism Scheme) was introduced: to help meet the needs of the local communities while assisting conserve this incredible forest.
ASSETS has operated for 20 years and has made a real difference for over 730 families. Their attitudes and behavior have changed to be favorable toward forest conservation. With other contributions and funds raised through local eco-tourism, your donation will be distributed to struggling families as high school bursaries. As a result, many local children who otherwise would have been unable to afford school can now get an education- and the forest is protected.
Currently, 135 students and their families are being supported through ASSETS. But we need your help to continue paying their school fees! Since COVID, we have struggled to raise funds for school fees.
For the price of only 3-4 cups of coffee per week in a New York or London café (USD 12), you can put a child through high school with ASSETS. What’s better is that this includes not just the bursary but also all the associated conservation activities (tree planting, garbage cleanup, introducing energy-saving stoves and solar lamps, regenerative agriculture methods, bee-keeping etc)!
Please join us on this journey! Become a regular donor and create a butterfly effect that will positively impact families and forests for many years!

Field Study: Conservation in a Tropical Ecosystem | $750 raised of $5,000 goal • 8 donors | raised of $5,000 goal | 8 donations | Braelen Devoe is organizing this fundraiser on behalf of genya devoe. |
I have been accepted into a field study through Miami University's Department of Biology. During this field study, I will be learning methods for measuring the botanical diversity unique to the Bahamas. I will study the flora of multiple habitats, from Pine forests to Mangrove swamps to tiny island Keys. This field study will allow me to learn quantitative methods of plant community analysis, tropical economics, and ethnobotany. This study is important because of the delicate state of this tropical ecosystem, which is becoming more susceptible to threats such as coral bleaching. By studying botanical diversity within this ecosystem, we can learn more about how conservation efforts can support protection from future threats.

Hi friends, I am posting this in efforts to help my sister who was effected badly by the hurricane in Florida. The damage that was done is unimaginable and she and her fiancé are trying to repair and rebuild with limited resources or help. The damage is not only physical to the home and property but also emotionally as animals were lost and one is now not doing well. They are trying their best to keep their heads up and keep going but I think they need help. They can’t do it on their own so I am reaching out for help. I wouldn’t do this if I did t think it was needed. Prayers are also welcome! Thanks everyone

I would like to post an update to capture the attention of family. Our family is unique and most are… we are all spread out and don’t see each other as often as we would like. Lots of cousins, aunts and uncles second cousins etc. With that said my sister Amber does not have social media and did not ask for any help. I just personally know what daily struggles they are up against and will rebuild with time. So even though we don’t talk all the time I wanted Amber to know that she has family and we do care. | Organizer |

3d Printed homes using wood instead of concrete | $20 raised of $20,000 goal • 1 donor | raised of $20,000 goal | 1 donation | Tucker Allen is organizing this fundraiser. | Created 1 day ago1 day agoEnvironment
Hi, my name is Michael and I am a single family home builder. Today's building process is cumbersome and expensive with nothing pulling on the builder to change.
Technology has advanced significantly over the past 100 years, much less 5 years. 3D printing has evolved and has seen in roads as a method to lower building costs thus allowing home affordability to more. This is great.
The substrate used in 3D printing homes is a mixture of concrete allowing for a rigid permanent homes. Whilst this is a fabulous step in lowering housing costs, more work must be done.
Concrete is most used man made material on this planet. It unfortunately requires and emits large amounts of carbon. A substitute for concrete is needed to ultimately lower the societal costs unfairly placed on the lowest working classes.
With this being said, it is the gofundme's goal to raise funds to begin researching what type of natural/fibrous/plant material can be manipulated into 3D printers or being grown in 3D printed house 'casts'.
The image on the gofundme is from a river crossing in Indian where locals weave roots of rubber trees to build bridges.

Making it easier to do a random act of kindness! | $25 raised of $25,000 goal • 1 donor | raised of $25,000 goal | 1 donation | Gary Blume is organizing this fundraiser to benefit Total Altruistic Project Foundation. | Created 1 day ago1 day agoEnvironment
My name is Gary Blume. One day in the year 2017, when I was walking my dog in a park, a person thanked me after I picked up a piece of litter to throw in a nearby trashcan. I thought about how, by simply picking up that piece of litter, (1) I felt good for doing it, (2) the person who thanked me felt good, and (3) how the environment "felt" good. The very next thought I had was: "How can I replicate that action so more people will feel good?", and THAT was when I got this warm, tingly feeling radiating from within myself as if a blessing had been handed to me! A very simple idea of having stations of litter-grabbing tools with an attached hand-net, hanging from stations spaced along a popular path for the public to use came to mind. Knowing that many people would pick up more litter if there was a convenient and sanitary way to do it (and I am willing to bet that YOU are one of those people) the thought of increasing the frequency of this common act of kindness, and how much more it would benefit the environment, the custodians of the land and local governments that budget for litter control, was too much for me to not bring the idea to the public. That is when the name, the Total Altruism Project (T.A.P.), came to mind. I feel like all my 66 years of life experiences are leading me on this path to help make the world a better & happier place, both socially and physically. So I formed a nonprofit, 501(c)(3), and got to work to make this daydream come true.
On November 1st, 2022 we launched the project at a community park. A college biostatistics class studied this project as their semester project. The results from their study show a dramatic decrease in litter being released into the environment due to T.A.P. The grounds maintenance workers noticed an incredible decrease in the amount of litter they normally pick up...and are thrilled to have T.A.P. at their site. Visitors to the park are thrilled at having this project at the park as young families and dog walkers and all sorts are observed walking throughout the park, picking up litter using our T.A.P. tools. This project is bringing people together like babies in a stroller and people with dogs do! We are seeing this ripple of happiness extend out, due to T.A.P.....and our environment is benefiting from it.
And now the college and the Parks & Recreation Department want me/us to do another feasibility study for this spring...and I need help funding it.
100% of your donation goes to the tax-exempt, nonprofit, which will use the funds for the next feasibility study (estimated installation mid-March). This second site will be at a 56-acre, public park that has a playground for children, multi-use fields, and 7 little league fields. The park abuts a reservoir that receives a lot of the litter generated from the park.
Funds will go toward the creation of metal stations/signs with graphics that will be placed around the park, purchasing the grabbing tools, creating custom hand-nets, and all that it takes to stalk the stations, all of which have already been designed and put to test at the first feasibility study.
With the expected success of a 2nd feasibility study, we hope to gain the attention of corporate sponsorship so we can expand T.A.P. globally.

Project D.O.V.E. 360 - Tornado Research | $113 raised of $75,531 goal • 1 donor | raised of $75,531 goal | 1 donation | Clarence Smith is organizing this fundraiser. | Created 4 hours ago4 hours agoEnvironment
Project D.O.V.E. 360 is setting out on a mission to provide the most comprehensive 360° video recording of a tornado. A team of experienced storm chasers and professional drone operators will venture across the open plains to capture striking detail of tornadoes from the ground and the sky. High-resolution cameras recording at fast frame rates will capture data for scientists to utilize photogrammetry to measure tornado wind speeds and motion at or near the ground level. All data collected will be donated to any researcher who requests access. Our expectation is this research will open new discoveries to help build better structures and provide more accurate warnings for the public. Project D.O.V.E. 360 aims to capture the most comprehensive video data set of a tornado on record. On not just one, but several tornadoes.
D.O.V.E. is an acronym for Drone Observing Vortex Experiment. We wish to honor the accomplishments of tornado researcher and engineer Tim Samaras and his Twistex team. Who tragically were killed by the largest tornado on record near El Reno, Oklahoma on May 31st, 2013. The work of Tim, his son Paul, and chase partner Carl Young set the highest example for the meteorological and storm chasing community. The Twistex team deployed “turtles” in the path of tornadoes to record scientific measurements. As turtles were doing on the ground, we hope doves will accomplish in the air.
This project is in the early stages of development, yet we still hope to deploy this 2023 chase season. If funding cannot be met before mid April, we will approach 2024 with the same optimism. We are currently seeking corporate partnerships and material support for our mission. If your company would like to support this project please contact us.
This GoFundMe drive is seeking the help of individuals like yourself to contribute to the mission. Individual donations will go towards funding fuel, repairs, and lodging for the project. Considering this project may last for three months, gas for 3-5 trucks on long days traversing the plains will get expensive. No to mention finding beds at night for the 9-11 chasers on the team. We’ll rotate who gets their own room. Some may sleep in vehicles to save money too.
Thank you all very much for your support!!! Be sure to subscribe and follow the chase on social media @projectdove360 to see the results of your support.

I found out our development had a beautiful lake where families got together, swam, enjoyed picnicking and simple pontoon boating. One day the lake and spillway was examined and they found that the spillway was in need of repair. The development company and us got together to work out a fix. The lake has been here for decades and so has the people living here, who are now retired and elderly and didn’t have the money or the fight to get the repair done, fight politics, money and of course developer greed. A decision was made for the safety of the community that the spillway be breached by the Corp of Engineers. It was done in 2010 and now we have a huge empty hole overrun by vegetation, mosquitoes, all the fish and marine life were killed not to mention our home prices plummeted. In this age of environmental changes and catastrophes this should have been made public and fought. This fund raiser is to fight city hall and the developers to work together to get this fixed but we can’t fight without your needed help. I would like to see the lake brought back to life and self sufficient with someone accountable to bring it back to the people, charge a minimal yearly fee to everyone who uses the lake for future upkeep maintenance and safety also open to the public at a higher yearly fee for non-residents.

The now-drained Brentwood Lake has become an eyesore to neighbors and Lorain County Commissioner Tom Williams said the county and Carlisle Township trustees need to do something about it. During yesterday’s commissioners meeting, resident Karen Johnson gave a two-and-a-half hour presentation about Brentwood Lake to explain to the commissioners the former lake has caused a $7 million reduction in property taxes each year. Property values also have gone down 50 to 60 percent, Williams said. The commissioners and township trustees are going to come up with a solution to the problem, Williams said, because the former lake has turned into a “jungle.” Williams said the development and the lake were built by Spitzer Management and Spitzer Hardware and Supply is supposedly the owner of the land of Brentwood Lake. A few years ago, the state told Spitzer to breech the dam and the lake was drained for fear of flooding. Now, the place is full of raccoons, rats, mice and other animals that lurk in the tall grasses, Williams said. He also said a child has gotten lost out there.

Restore 20 Ponds & Plant 50,000 Trees in SMA | $50 raised of $50,000 goal • 1 donor | raised of $50,000 goal | 1 donation | Victoria Collier is organizing this fundraiser to benefit Psephos Inc. |
The Psephos Inc Climate Crisis Fund is supporting Tikkun Eco Center a non-profit organization in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, seeking to expand a highly successful 2022 model permaculture program for community water and food security, and reforestation.
San Miguel de Allende is located in the arid highlands of central Mexico where poor rural communities are facing severe water shortages and food insecurity. Like many countries in Asia and Africa, Mexico receives most of its rain during the short summer monsoon season. Rainwater capture is essential to sustain communities through the long dry season.
Tikkun Eco Center is using our 12-year experience developing water harvesting systems to benefit the long-term sustainability of rural villages in the San Miguel region.
In 2022, Tikkun began collaborating with local environmental NGOs and the municipal Department of Ecology to implement projects which are proven to radically transform rural subsistence communities around the world, in arid regions just like ours.
In 2023-2025 the Tikkun Eco Center will identify 20 critical community rainwater reservoirs in disrepair that no longer provide water and food security for their villages.
Tikkun will organize the communities in supporting the restoration project, and oversee the reforestation and volunteer planting of 50,000 native trees (2,500 per reservoir).
The trees are donated by the municipal government, and will be planted using the hyacinths currently choking the Presa Allende. The hyacinths are used for compost and mulch, ensuring the tree's survival.
Please see our agreement with San Miguel department of Ecology here.
We are seeking immediate donations from the community, and long-term support from funders, to carry out this work.
Project Background:
For twelve years Tikkun has been developing our eco center using dryland Permaculture design based on rainwater capture for sustainable organic farming, a COVID 19 food bank, and helping families in our rural village grow their own food gardens.
But in the face of growing drought and severe local water rationing, in 2022 Tikkun realized the need to rebuild the defunct local reservoir in our village of San Jose de Gracia.
With a small number of generous grants, many volunteers, and the support and guidance of the local community, Tikkun succeeded in restoring the San Jose reservoir from a sparse two million liters of water retention, to a full capacity of 25 million liters.
Before restoration: A dried out mud flat
After restoration: A beautiful small lake, 5 meters deep
For over 200 years, this reservoir served four villages. However, over many decades it became filled with soil and the dam degenerated. Rainwater would quickly evaporate, leaving nothing in reserve for the long dry season.
It took us one month to complete the pond restoration. With a large excavator and many bulldozers and trucks, we removed the soil, dug a quarry to excavate hard tepotate to use in raising the pond edges and the dam, and we created better water management systems.
We removed over 1400 truckloads of rich soil from this reservoir, returning much of it to the eroded surrounding local farms, and with the rest we began a reforestation project around the reservoir.
The San Miguel Municipal Ecology department donated 1000 native trees. We are personally donating over 100 native tree saplings and hundreds of Magueys, and we have stocked this pond with tilapia from our own ponds.
The trees stabilize soils around the reservoirs so they don’t refill with silt, while creating a beautiful ecologically restored habitat. Over 50 people, both local villagers and expats, volunteered to plant the trees, including the elderly and children.
Students from UNAM traveled from the city of Leon to help.
Hyacinths for reforestation: Solving two ecological crises at once
The SMA government donated truckloads of hyacinth (lirio) mulch, taken from the local Presa Allende which is experiencing an ecological crisis from an explosion of these invasive plants. However, the lirios are a tremendous resource when used in reforestation projects, as their mulch will lower water needs by up to 50%.
Currently, in January 2023, we are building a solar pumping station to bring water from the reservoir up to the village to support animal husbandry and local home gardens.
The San Miguel municipality is also contributing a children’s playground and a soccer field to the park now being built around the reservoir.
In 2023 and 2024 Tikkun is collaborating with the San Miguel department of Ecology to restore 20 more critical community reservoirs in disrepair or neglect; reservoirs that no longer provide water and food security for their villages.
The restored reservoirs will allow communities to retain or reestablish small farms and milpas, and also commit to animal husbandry and milk production. They will also allow Tikkun to expand the program of installing organic food gardens for rural families near the reservoirs.
What do Dryland Permaculture practices do?
Slow rainwater run-off
Reduce or reverse soil erosion
Spread rainwater across the landscape
Penetrate water deeper into the soil
Capture and retain water for the dry season
Allow for reforestation
Restore ecosystems and create lush wildlife habitat
Create water and food security for communities
Improve opportunities for livelihoods
Reduce the need for dangerous migration from villages to cities
On a large scale, impact the climate of the region

WallSpace Recycle Project | $50 raised of $500,000 goal • 1 donor | raised of $500,000 goal | 1 donation | Kristie Reicherter is organizing this fundraiser. | Created 7 days ago7 days agoEnvironment
Wall Space Recycle Project is an idea with endless potential. The point is to save things from ending up in landfills by making art out of them! The process of making art is also therapeutic for the humans participating and provides stress relief. This, of course, results in better behavior in day-to-day interactions with other humans and challenges.
The goal is to obtain a facility where craft supplies, miniatures, ceramics, wax, or ornamental items can be donated and sorted into different supply categories. Whether it be color, material, or theme, the donations will become art-creating "ingredients" for a masterpiece to fill your wall or a retail donation for the storefront. Whoever ends up owning the piece will agree to never allow it to end up in the dump. This now has become an individual contribution to garbage storage in the USA! Hence, the concept behind the name is for us to donate "WallSpace" in our personal or business space to help with garbage storage in the form of an art piece. Also, this makes a great gift with meaning and purpose! Not only daily scheduled art workshops are the plan, but also skills, furniture flipping, and holiday workshops are in the plan as well! These are all great opportunities to be a light in the community for all ages. this is also a great platform for young and old to interact and learn from each other in a friendly atmosphere.
Why not show support for recycling in EVERY aspect? My dream is to also restore a building, or even better a historic property at the same time. Not only will this be a source of "guaranteed" recycling in a time when so many wonder if their recycling efforts stop with the garbage pick up, it will also be an example for the patrons and the community. A solar facility would be ideal as well, especially since our government has funding programs for both. A community garden is something I would love to include as well. Outside would be great, but a greenhouse would be wonderful and year-round! Composting, using rainwater collection to water the garden and other simple skills can be addressed. Who is sharing information can also change with the subject. This will provide community involvement in a different way. As each person shares their skills and knowledge, the members of the group are allowed to learn and realize that each of us is equal in what we have to contribute. Taking ownership of a project provides mental and emotional well-being that becomes less about self and more about community and purpose. This program can fulfill this and so many other positives in so many ways.
The cherry on my dream is finding a way to recycle plastic bottles into hot glue sticks. This would be the main choice in putting these art projects together with ease. How wonderful would it be to have something so simple be able to use up all those horrible plastic bottles floating in our oceans, lakes, rivers, gutters, ect. This part of the dream I am the most excited about but a am still researching. It makes so much sense though!

Earth Guardians Health And We’ll Being Advocates | $5 raised of $12,000 goal • 1 donor | raised of $12,000 goal | 1 donation | Scotty Satori is organizing this fundraiser. | Created 7 days ago7 days agoEnvironment My name is Scotty Satori. I am fundraising to bring Global Earth Guardian-conscious Communities together as one.
I have been taking a full spectrum Holistic approach to this Conscious Business. (More On that later)
I have kept my performing Global Consciously Awakened communities supported in any way I can. Through financial donating, Marketing, sharing, documenting doing write-ups and reviews, fundraising Composing music, live band, and solo performances, and being involved the best that I can.
I also take care of a lot of elders in my mom's community when I’m in Castle Rock Colorado with general Maintenance. I'm kind of the go-to in the neighborhood and have music exploration students/teachers.
At this point, I need to shift and be at these global events serving in any way that I can. So I am gathering a team for my Castle Rock folks and trading in the general Maintenance tools for portable online tools and equipment. Everything has to be multi-purpose and fit on an airplane from here on out. As a multi-instrumental musician, I have had to gift a lot of the bigger equipment. where ever I go musical instruments and tools just seem to show up in a very magical way. Love it!
I am very motivated very passionate and excited and honored to be in service to my ever-expanding soul families that are on this same journey I am on. I love being involved with them as you will see.
How I have always used funds that come in. Mostly Classes and ongoing education and experiences from people that specialize and have been there done that and gained the wisdom of certain things. And people that are on the same mission that my team is on. (Not People who got it out of a book) It takes a lot of investigative research and asking in the communities. And these wonderful people show up in a bigger better way for sure. The Business expenses Take a lot of researching what are the best tools. Since I have to be portable everything has to be multi-purpose and built to last. I test if what I am purchasing is going to move the ship forward more expansive and Does it serve all? So yes I spend a lot of time on investigative research and implementing this Awesome wisdom that shows up. A win for everyone and everything, a win for this Earth for generations to come.
Those of You that know me know that I am a mover and groover in action. I don't want to miss an opportunity to learn more about what serves in a bigger better more expansive way. I am very passionate about how I can support you and your passions as well. I do have musical gifts for you and other surprises. I am known to over-deliver.
I hopefully can post more of what I do and show you my documentation of the past years. I am and have been an action taker and would be honored to introduce you to the global platforms my Global families that I have been involved with that serve everyone and everything for the health of us and this planet for the generations to come. You have got to meet the team. I love and honor them. And yes somewhere I will have a link where you can be updated constantly and more info about everything. I am already in action with this and have documented along the way like twenty-five years plus of notes. Over twenty-five years of awesomeness for sure.
I just wanted to add this little part that I go through daily and ask myself.
Did I do enough today, did I make deference did I serve, did I take care of this vessel I am in, did I fully replenish? Did I practice self-care (that one took me lots of lessons to finally implement) Was I present with everyone? Did I bring the vibe, The awesomeness? Did I Thank my Team and my nonphysical team? Did I bless things around me, especially my water? Am I practicing being a living walking Divine ceremony?
Those of you that know me and that I have worked with or been with please post, email, or text your experience with me that would be awesome of you.
One of my favorite quotes And this one for me is so expansive and deep.
“If you're not living it,,, you don’t believe in it”
Please email me or contact me in some way if you donated or if you just want to say Hi.
I Thank You with all my Heart. I’m excited for this

Underwater Sensors Fund | $5 raised of $2,000 goal • 1 donor | raised of $2,000 goal | 1 donation | Stephen Powers is organizing this fundraiser. | Created 6 days ago6 days agoEnvironment
Stephen Powers is organizing this fundraiser.
https://sites.baylor.edu/powersresearchgroup/
This fund will support a sensor drive for our community. New underwater sensors are needed to track and forecast water quality problems while training and educating the next generation of environmental data specialists and water quality practitioners.
Monitoring of underwater systems is being disrupted by the use of miniaturized sensors and autonomous platforms that produce real-time or near real-time data at high frequency. Distributed sensor networks can help reveal the spatial structure of water quality in three dimensions as well as over time, allowing us to track event dynamics of algae blooms, plumes of sediment and pollution, low oxygen (hypoxia), and other problems. Underwater datasets are needed to verify water quality indicators derived from remote sensing approaches, such as the Sentinel and Landsat satellite missions.

Help us grow a Caribbean Herb & Pollinator Garden | $200 raised of $888 goal • 7 donors | raised of $888 goal | 7 donations | Genesis Whitlock is organizing this fundraiser. |
Hello, my name is Genesis, and I am returning to Antigua & Barbuda for the winter to grow an ethnobotanical herb garden centered around Caribbean culture. Elders of my community support the vision of this project, and together, we will exchange knowledge to deepen our cultural understanding of collective ecology.
This fund will help cover the costs of procuring the gardening tools and art supplies needed to complete this project. It will also cover some of the food and transportation costs for myself and my siblings.
Help us continue to sustain our family’s generational stewardship of the land we call "Body Pond." A practice that was lost during Antigua’s initial post-colonial period. "BodySol Pond" intends to reclaim our ancestral connections to Body Pond and deepen our cultural understanding of Caribbean ecology.
Asé, thank you,

"Till Morning" : Film Selection for SBIFF 10-10-10 | $2,870 raised of $6,000 goal • 7 donors | raised of $6,000 goal | 7 donations | Yerin Hong is organizing this fundraiser. |
Hi, my name is Yerin Hong and I'm raising funds for the short film "Till Morning" one of the short films selected for the Santa Barbara International Film Festival 10-10-10.
10-10-10 Screenwriting and Filmmaking Mentorship and Competition Is a five-month filmmaking mentorship program for ten high school and ten college students who create ten films to be screened for the public at the historic Arlington Theatre during the Film Festival. Aspiring screenwriters are paired with aspiring directors, and all participants enjoy months of workshops on all aspects of the filmmaking process, alongside close mentorship from respected industry professionals. This program offers unparalleled industry insight and access, and prior 10-10-10 participants have gone on to film school, work in the industry, become bestselling authors, and have even returned to Santa Barbara as professional filmmakers whose films have been selected to be included in the Film Festival.
This year's theme for 10-10-10 is climate change. This film raises awareness of what may happen in the future if humans continue down our dangerous path of polluting the Earth and its atmosphere.
In "Till Morning" Humans pollute the Earth to a nearly unlivable state, forcing them to flee the planet in giant spaceships. In our film, we follow a handful of people still living on Earth forced to live in their ancestors' shadows. The message we are conveying with our film is that there will be a time in the future when our Earth will not be able to handle our carbon footprint, and humans are responsible for Earth's destiny.
Short Summary:
Belonging to a world where the day is no longer hospitable, humans try to find love and meaning in Living Through the Night. Our story follows two young adults who come from very different backgrounds but are united by the same plight all humans that remain on earth share: living in the shadow of their race's dead civilization. Leo is the adopted son of a devout evangelical sheriff who had connections to the old world government. He has had a good life in the dark and never thinks of what life was like for humans before his generation was born. Luna is a painter interested in drawing what she thinks life was like before the end of the day. She has recently lost her mother to suicide. The two are set up on a date and have a wonderful time talking about conspiracies and their own memories of The End: the rocket ships of the elites that left earth in its following, how their ancestors were to blame for their mistreatment of the earth, the personalities that make up the world, and how they have found their own meaning growing up in the world that is always night.

- Maintaining the experimental oyster plots and report on the lessons learned as we continue to work toward building sustainable oyster reefs.
- Expanding our Community, Educational and Aquaculture Industry outreach about oyster and scallop restoration efforts in the Basin.
- Gaining insight from similar efforts throughout the country to utilize best practices.
The BOP welcomes anyone who would like to be involved, whether through donations or volunteering to get their “hands dirty” with our on-site project work.
Check out our monthly newsletters to monitor how our funds are being used throughout the year at our website:

Be A Part Of Composting For A Healthy Environment | $213 raised of $50 goal • 6 donors | raised of $50 goal | 6 donations | Team fundraiser
Isabella Dominguez and 2 others are organizing this fundraiser to benefit Sunshine Community Compost. |
I am a 17-year-old who wants to bring awareness regarding one of the easiest ways we can help the environment by composting. Food waste in landfills produces a greenhouse gas released into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming. Landfills are filling every day, increasingly contributing to climate change. When composting certain food scraps, otherwise known as decayed organic material, can be broken down and used as a natural organic fertilizer for soil and plants. This process helps the environment by reducing methane gas production and regulating Earth’s climate. Middlebury College is an excellent example among other organizations that practice composting and have demonstrated some of the benefits of composting. From the financial aspect, they have saved over 100,000 dollars by using 90% of food waste, which would have otherwise ended up in their local landfill, and saved on landfill fees alone.
Please join me in partnering with Sunshine Community Compost Organization.
Some of the services they provide include:
. Including education for youth and adults regarding composting
. Composting drop-off sites
. School composting programs
. Partnerships with local businesses, nonprofits, and community organizations, like your local supermarket.
I bring this awareness with a group of students who are passionate regarding this topic, and we would love to reach this goal and hopefully exceed it!
Your help is needed and appreciated!

New Depths in Coral Research | $506 raised of $40,000 goal • 6 donors | raised of $40,000 goal | 6 donations | Maria Maffei is organizing this fundraiser. |
Hi, my name is Maria.
I am raising funds for the necessary equipment needed to succeed in learning and sustaining coral life in our great oceans.
I've spent the last 6 years in endocrinology/oncology clinical research. During this time, I learned that good research is crucial in advancing science and that the patients I've had the pleasure of knowing had one thing in common. They wanted to live.
I've enjoyed my 6 years in medical research. However, on a recent whim, I got Open Water Scuba certified. My childhood fascination and love for the ocean was reignited. It began when I took my first breath underwater in a swimming pool and was solidified when I dove off the coast of Catalina Island. I looked around me and up from the ocean floor, I was engulfed in the most beautiful green kelp and surrounded by the most vibrantly orange Garibaldi fish. It was a world I have always been aware existed. A world where I was always the outsider looking in and was just now experiencing it for the first time.
I was torn between continuing in clinical research that had minimal growth left for me or explore this reignited curiosity about life under the sea. I thought of my patients and how they had always chosen life. I'm choosing to dive into coral reef research and sustainability. My journey will begin off the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula in the second-largest barrier reef. I will be joining a program that will certify me as a Dive Master while completing crucial data points and observations over a period of time.
It would mean a lot to me if you are able to help support me in this research. Any donation would be greatly appreciated and helpful.
Thank you in advance :)

Happy International Jaguar Day & Giving Tuesday!!!
!!Feliz Dia Internacional Da Onça!!
Hi, my name is Lucy, and I am fundraising for the Jaguar Identification Project.
I’ve been waiting for this special day (November 29) to share some super special news with you all! As many of you know, this past September I assisted the Jaguar Identification Project (JIP) with critical jaguar conservation research. Lodged on a riverside cattle ranch in the Pantanal region of Brazil, I spent each day on a small metal skiff (well warned it was prone to capsizing), venturing the rivers of the world's largest freshwater wetland in search of jaguars! During my time, I was lucky enough to identify 23 different individuals, and I carried out over 90 observations with data collection by the end of the month (some lasting up to 5 hours!)
Since Abigail Martin (incredible conservationist and boat captain I was lucky enough to meet in the U.S.V.I) founded the project in 2013, the team has identified over 300 Jaguar individuals!!! In addition to identification, JIP collects integral data regarding individual behavior, lineages, relationships, ranges and movement in support of conservation.
The JIP has accomplished so much in 10 years, but the accolades do not even end there. Through years of data collection, the JIP has managed to incentivize conservation through monetarily quantifying local eco-tourism. Thanks to the Jaguar Identification Project and others’ exemplary work, the Pantanal is the only place in the world where a jaguar is worth more alive than dead.
As of the new year, I will officially be the first Environmental Educator/Outreach Coordinator for the Jaguar Identification Project! I could not be more honored to take on this role for the team and I am so excited for all to come.
The Jaguar Identification Project has been an exemplary model of life's limitless possibilities for me and I am so proud to be a part of such groundbreaking conservation research.
Today I am asking you all, if able, to please donate to the Jaguar Identification Project (Verified NGO.) Any and all contributions are greatly appreciated and I can wholeheartedly affirm your donation will directly aid in jaguar conservation globally.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions! For more information on the project and other ways to get involved, visit www.jaguaridproject.com

Hi, my name is Mark McLemore. My daughter is going through some reoccuring psychological problems that couldn't be resolved through State outpatient therapy 1 hour a week sessions. I'm going to have to miss some time from work to finally get the mental health help my daughter has truly needed her whole life, inpatient care at Pine Rest Mental Health Facility.
With the economy most of my credit cards are maxed out, and we need to be out of the current home we reside in because owner is potentially a trigger. This is her 2nd day, yesterday being her intake, in which she had to be put in suicide watch after all the paperwork was sighned and our sad goodbyes were made. With today being 2 four hour sessions to break her down a bit more. If we don't do this, and the at-intake incriminated home owner of residence remains a trigger, we have 6 days to get out.
We have 7 days before our daughter's graduation, hopefully fully recovered from traumas and with wisdom to identify and fight any upcoming traumas in her life.
We are going to need funds to start off on this journey; U-Haul, gas, storage unit, possibly a few weeks to a month in a hotel or apartment until we get a house.

HELP MOTHER STAY WARM & GIVE SON XMAS | $252 raised of $300 goal • 5 donors | raised of $300 goal | 5 donations | Cassandra Hendrix is organizing this fundraiser. |
Hello my name is Cassandra. I have a 14 year old son that sadly is not able to live/stay with me as I'm unable to have a stable living situation so he is staying with his father. Im trying to have and provide as much stability as i possibly am able to for him. The downside is I feel im still failing at doing so because as christmas is this weekend and funds are extremely hard due to me having to always continually having to use any funds I receive to being able to have a warm place for myself and my service pup to sleep for one more night. I'm reaching out some help and hope. I reached a very hard and extremely difficult time and forgive me this is the first time I have created a gofundme. I lost my apartment in June due to them increasing my rent to $1810.00 with have just receiving help from renthelp.mn so i wasn't able to received more assistance for rental help. Then to make life more challenging I was in a car accident back in August that resulted in my car being totaled out by my insurance company and they were only able to cover the remainder of the loan. So now at this point with already losing my actual place to call home, I then lost my vehicle that became home and last place I knew that I was for sure to have a roof over my head. Life is getting harder to keep my hope and faith in this time of hardship in my life along with not being able to provide any kind of christmas for my son for the first time ever. That's my story for reaching out for any kind of help I do understand that this time of year is difficult for most all families so thank you for just reading this, and even if you just please keep me in your prayers tonight as it is in the negative temperatures is all that I ask. Thank you very much, and I wish everyone a happy holidays and to stay safe this time of year.

Local singer (Fuego) wanted to spread joy | $40 raised of $2,000 goal • 5 donors | raised of $2,000 goal | 5 donations | Nathan Walker is organizing this fundraiser. | After posting a tik tok, Christina AKA fuego, set up a local get together at Newtown park on december 16th for people to come and sing christmas songs. Looking forward to this, Christina brought cookies and hot chocolate. When the singing started, teenagers were chanting inappropriate things at christina and harassing her. Someone took a picture of her license, broke her speaker that was a early christmas present, broke a picnic table, and broke a plant in a pot. Because Christina rented the area, she is responsible for any damages. Christina wasn’t expecting to have all this happen and just wanted to spread some joy to her local community. Please help her out to pay for a new speaker and all the damage done to the place she rented. This is a big deal, the cops came, and she had a court date. please help her out. The pictures is the pic nick table. | Alpharetta, GA | Nathan Walker | null | Created December 17, 2022 | null | Organizer |
MCF Community Based Conservation : Laikipia, Kenya | $2,500 raised of $5,000 goal • 6 donors | raised of $5,000 goal | 6 donations | Tara Hetz is organizing this fundraiser. |
The Mazingira Conservation Fund (MCF) supports sustainable natural resources management within the Greater Laikipia Landscape. Over time, it is expected to grow to support other initiatives in other conservation landscapes and countries.
MCF is an initiative that supports practical interventions aimed at habitat protection, conservation education, community development and women led conservation enterprises. It is implemented and administered under the auspices of the Laikipia Forum.
The Greater Laikipia landscape is one of the most vital wildlife conservation landscapes in Kenya. The landscape hosts the highest populations of endangered large mammals in Kenya including half of the country’s black rhino population. Laikipia ecosystem is home to significant populations of elephants, Grevy’s zebra, Reticulated giraffe, Wild dogs and other threatened animal, bird, and plant species. Land tenure in this landscape is predominantly private and communal, with only a few land units under formal protection, such as forest. A growing human population, changes in land use, closure of key wildlife corridors and dispersal areas, the climate crisis, and a push towards greater agricultural production threaten the future of conservation efforts.
MISSION:
Support local initiatives that result in benefits to people, wildlife and their habitats.
VISION:
Conservation, Community and Commerce (CCC) combined in positive benefits for wildlife and their habitats.
MCF aims to improve the long-term conservation of vulnerable and threatened wildlife species and their habitats. It promotes sustainable use of natural resources in protected and conserved areas, and with communities in the Laikipia landscape. It is dedicated to working with communities, specifically women, indigenous groups, and youth. It supports initiatives that are courageous and creative in addressing wildlife and habitat conservation.
Your contribution supports the MCF and our 2023 fundraiser. Your early support inspires others to donate.

Our First House! | $830 raised of $500 goal • 5 donors | raised of $500 goal | 5 donations | Team fundraiser
Kayla Mahan and Trevor Philips are organizing this fundraiser. |
Hello! I am Kayla. My boyfriend Trevor and I are currently working towards buying our first house!
We are starting this GoFundMe to help us gather essential home items for after the move (Dishes, towels, silverware, soap, etc…) along with helping stock the pantry. We have been looking for a house since May of this year and finally, we have an accepted offer on one! Things have been moving very fast and we are looking at a closing date before the new year. We are extremely grateful for your donations as they will make this transitional period easier.
The furnace in the home we are working on getting is 22 years old so any leftovers will go to that as well as other small house fixing projects that will need doing in the first year.

Need Water for Niutao people | $1,400 raised of $25,000 goal • 5 donors | raised of $25,000 goal | 5 donations | Toa Sailusi is organizing this fundraiser. |
My friends and families, my name is Toa, and I am humbly asking for your help! I was born on this smallest island a few decades ago. I've learned a great deal about how to treat strangers and loved ones from the lessons my island community has taught me at a young age.
As I watched the news from Tuvalu today, I was reminded of how blessed I am to live in the United States. In the recent video about the Island of Niutao, a remote island with around 300 people, I saw many relatives and friends calling out for help as they experienced the longest and the most severe drought in history.
Listening to the report from the Assistant Principal on the current impacts of the severe drought on the students, I immediately thought of what and how can I be a solution to this severe drought. In her report, the nine months of solid heat and high temperature have caused the poor quality of drinking water, water shortages in washing the students' uniforms, air quality, sanitation and hygiene, leading many students with diarrhea.
With water shortage on the island, students are now excused to go home and use their home toilet, significantly impacting their learning and education. The worst of them were the students with disability, who struggled to deal with this situation.
The Solar Ro Model SW36, the only seawater desalination machine that supplies water, is now broken. The Niutao community relies on one more community water tank that will rationalize drinking until the island gets more help from foreign countries and our local government.
I believe the best solution is to find parts for this Solar Ro Model SW36 and repair this seawater desalination so that my small island community will get back on its feet, especially allowing some Uepele Primary students to receive quality education to succeed in the future.
Because I cannot financially support my island community, I am asking my online community to spare a few dollars to provide a miracle for Niutao Island and its people for this Christmas season. I hope that the amount I raise will be enough to fix their current sea water desalination so that they can have enough water until Heaven pours out the rain again.
I am kindly begging for your financial donations before Christmas Eve! A small donation can save a disability or an elderly life.
Please share this post with your friends and acquaintances!!!

Protect Puvungna | $250 raised of $1,000,000 goal • 5 donors | raised of $1,000,000 goal | 5 donations | Rebecca Robles is organizing this fundraiser to benefit Friends of Puvunga. |
On 9/27/2019 (California Native Day ) CSULB dumped roughly 6,400 cubic yards of construction debris and soil from an on-campus student housing project to Puvungna without proper consultation with its tribal stakeholders, as previously agreed upon. The university's contractors drove heavy equipment over ceremonial areas and had plans to build parking lots and structures. A lawsuit was entered shortly after. Fast forward to September 2021 - A settlement was reached, prohibiting the university from developing or damaging (a partial area) of Puvungna and allowing tribal groups to use Puvungna for traditional ceremonies. Our work is only beginning. We need to raise funds for soil removal and establish ourselves as a land conservancy. As caretakers of Puvungna, Friends of Puvungna's goal is to continue to preserve and protect the sacred site of Puvungna for future generations. Our mission is to preserve and protect the sacred lands of Puvunga to its natural, historical state and open-space. To restore Puvungna as a place of healing and to honor our the land and the ancestors by caretaking the land for all people but most importantly for future generations. Please help support one of California's most precious and at-risk sacred sites.

Preserve the Roof of the World | $1,300 raised of $5,500 goal • 5 donors | raised of $5,500 goal | 5 donations | Ian Roth is organizing this fundraiser. |
The colloquial Roof of the World describes a region of breathtaking climatic variability, from the arid steppe and desert of Central Asia, to the monsoonal subtropical foothills of the Himalaya. Appropriately, the biodiversity of this region is unimaginably vast. Its conservation and preservation is essential to both the communities whose existence it directly sustains, but extends far beyond that. Facing anthropocentric glacial retreat and rapid ecosystem degradation, the urgency we must exercise in order to maintain biodiverse regions such as this is tantamount to none. It is a global treasure which is not rightfully ours to keep, but is within our responsibilities to protect, as stewards of our own future.
The number of people directly dependent on mountain ecosystems is estimated at upwards of 800 million, the actual number - those benefitting from runoff sourced in mountainous regions, is far greater.
At the locus of Asia's major mountain systems spring forth the headwaters for many of the world's most essential watersheds, among which are the Oxus, Indus, Ganges, Yellow, and Yangtze. It was from immense basins such as these that the first agrarian civilizations emerged, and in this respect, little has changed to this day.
Rivers are still our sustenance - agricultural arteries to the embryonic stages of complex social development, and the foundations on which the sweeping human drama has been staged. I believe humanity has long since been enveloped in the tumult of adolescence, brash and inflammatory, challenging the mechanisms of the conditions into which it was birthed, as it struggles to find itself. Our waterways are now strained, contaminated, and depleted, and as a rapidly destabilized climate culminates into imminent catastrophe, we're faced with a categorical ultimatum: mature and transcend, or stagnate and collapse.
This is an issue which, when presented in distillate form, only serves to overwhelm the individual's inferred sphere of control. Proclaiming with a cynical resolve that we're all going to suffer and die under the increasing pressures of a rapidly accelerating climate crisis is unimaginative, fatalistic, and only serves to alienate those who might sympathize with possible solutions to the issue at hand from any attempts at participating in that movement. It disenfranchises the individual from the cause.
I'm regularly disturbed by sensations of powerlessness - of my own inability to influence the trajectories of broad and pressing concerns, notably those of geopolitical, environmental, and sociocultural natures. From this, I have assumed a passive approach in my relationship with positive change. I discuss it, form opinions about it, but rarely act it out. I have resolved to adjust that perspective in order to overcome the inertia which it has propagated within me, and which I have allowed to take hold.
In March of 2023, I will begin a 11000km trek across this region of interest - a wild, fantastic place that has mystified and enchanted me for more than half my life. I seek to open discussions with members of local sustenance-based cultures about their individual, cultural, and socioeconomic relationship with mountains, in order to gain a greater understanding of the manners in which nuanced, locally-specific sustainable lifestyles, free of foreign investment and extractivism, might flourish.
As I hike I intend to personally fundraise to this end, a fixed amount per kilometer, striving for a future in which people may prosper alongside the environs which they cohabit, in a way that neither suppresses capital accumulation nor encourages it, but openly discourages the exploitation of natural resources for markets whose demand would exceed intrinsic regional environmental limitations. Unlike many develolment NGOs, which operate from a neocolonial vantage that elevates modern lifestyles over traditional ones, and that often seek to "convert and develop for the betterment," I don't suggest that one way should be imposed over another. I only seek to preserve, and I ask that you contribute to the same cause.
As a compliment to this project I aspire to produce a film which will document the trek and the perspectives shared with me along the way, serving as: a rumination on the current social environmental paradigm, various peoples' relationship with the earth and with mountainscapes, their own definitions of "home" and how that relates to the earth, as well as a manifesto for several of the many paths forward.
The proceedings from all fundraising efforts will go toward local organizations whose ethical goals and mission statements most closely resemble those set forth here. I think it only fair to distribute any funds raised in accordance with a donor's specifications. As the itinerary for this trek materializes, I will update this page with a list of recipient groups.
Please help me manifest this dream!

Feed the Future with ProFarms Gateway | $1,525 raised of $50,000 goal • 5 donors | raised of $50,000 goal | 5 donations | Jacqueline McDonnough is organizing this fundraiser to benefit Profarms Gateway Inc. |
My name is Dr. Jacqueline McDonnough, and I’ve spent my life and career as a sustainable agriculture enthusiast. This passion evolved out of my interest in the Earth Sciences, my years of involvement in science education and my sense of the pressing need to address the impacts of climate change on our most vulnerable populations. I established the ProFarms Gateway organization with co-founder Steven McDonnough, an international trade and development professional specializing in off-grid infrastructure solutions, to help bridge the knowledge and technology gap between the United States and Africa, a critical step in accelerating rural development. We focus on providing climate-smart and regenerative farming training for rural farmers and their families to improve livelihoods.
A huge gap exists in crop diversity among families in Ghana. The over-reliance on one specific crop to meet the food and nutritional requirements of many households in rural areas has degenerated the health situation in many homes in the communities near our farm. Many children face hunger and malnutrition, and the national Ghana School Feeding Programme is grossly underfunded. Therefore, ProFarms has taken it upon itself to supply food crops grown on our farms to the local primary school to support their underfunded school feeding program. For World Food Day in Oct 2022, we donated various fruit and vegetables to the Essiase Primary School that were grown as a part of our 2022 local youth and women training.
To support food and nutritional diversity and the development of both children in these areas and to help break the multigenerational cycle of poverty, ProFarms is working with local youth and mothers to provide formalized training around climate-smart and regenerative farming practices. The people within the local community cannot support the school feeding program because they lack access to seedlings, technical know-how, and climate-smart techniques to grow the food themselves. ProFarms has committed to being their supporter.
Now that we are in the dry season, we need to prepare an irrigated 2-acre garden to demonstrate sustainable food-growing techniques for indigenous foods and crops that will diversify the food nutrition of families, especially those with youth and women of reproductive age. We need to raise funds for site clearing and preparation, digging of a new water well, a solar water pump, water storage tanks, irrigation, and everything else that will go into producing this part of our demonstration project.
ProFarms Gateway is uniquely positioned to support the schooling program and bring the technical and material know-how to the Essiase area because we own the farmland, have established critical relationships with the local community, and have the technical expertise in regenerative agricultural practices. For more info on our work, please visit www.profarms.org
Your gift will support activities like:
Providing access to agricultural technologies, tools, and production methods to boost productivity, efficiency, and incomes to families in the Essiase community
Providing an alternative to local youth who engage in illegal mining activities
Providing access to formal training on farming, weather patterns, and climate change
Supporting rural farmers with seedlings and organic fertilizer for their farms
Providing local schools with organic fruits and vegetable produce grown on the ProFarms site
This is a big task, and while we have made some great strides, ProFarms still has much to accomplish....we need your support!

Drought relief for the Maasai Tribe | $410 raised of $10,000 goal • 5 donors | raised of $10,000 goal | 5 donations | Tracie Elliott is organizing this fundraiser. |
I recently returned from a trip of a lifetime on a safari in Kenya and Tanzania. While seeing the animals in their natural habitat was incredible, I was lucky enough to meet an amazing tribe called The Maasai. They have actually become very close friends of mine and I feel so lucky to have been introduced to them. Their village is located in the Amboseli region of Kenya. While meeting their Chief Noah, and his 3 brothers, we walked with them and were introduced to their traditions, culture, and lifestyle. During our walk, they lead us to see their livestock. The Maasai Tribe are known for their herding skills. Livestock is their main source of income and sustainability for the village. To a Maasai a cow is equivalent to having a bank account. As I walked with Noah, he explained the perils his tribe is facing due to a severe drought in the region for almost 4 years. Due to this severe drought, Maasai families and their cattle are in their worst state ever. Parents are struggling to nurse their young ones at home. The cattle are severely malnourished which is the main source of milk and meat for the village. I actually saw the devastation firsthand that has been their way of life due to lack of rain. The tribe has now had to purchase hay on a daily basis to keep the cattle alive. This has become extremely costly for the Village. After meeting with Noah and his brothers and seeing how hard their lives are, I wanted to do something for them. The Maasai tribe still live with no water or electricity and hold their traditions close to their heart. Noah and his tribe won my heart and soul and that is why I want to help raise money for them.
Please can you find it in your heart to donate any amount you can spare? 100% of the money collected is going directly to Noah’s tribe. The money will help with purchasing hay to feed the animals and help them get through this drought. If you have any questions or would like more information please feel free to reach out.
Thank you for taking the time to read about this beautiful tribe!!!!

Hurricane Ian, was not in my budget! | $240 raised of $10,000 goal • 5 donors | raised of $10,000 goal | 5 donations | Weylin Carlton is organizing this fundraiser. |
Hi, I am Weylin Carlton. I am a 58-year-old disabled veteran and Single dad. I am raising my 14-year-old adopted son. A 79-year-old, a disabled Vietnam veteran, also lives with us. Social Security is our only income. I normally do quite well. I don't have a lot of extras and keep my spending down. I pay my bills off and on time. I do not have homeowners insurance due to the fact I can't afford it in Florida. We own the home. I have never asked for help like this.
Ian has wiped out all emergency funds. We live on a tight budget and category four Hurricane Ian was not in my budget.
We did much better than a lot of people and my heart goes out to those who lost everything.
We were in the worst part of the Hurricane eye-wall for 8 hours, the eye just went around us, keeping us in the eye-wall through the worst part of the storm. Thankfully we did not get the surge from the storm. Port Charlotte has been grossly unreported on. The wind damage was enormous; ripping apart our homes, and flipping trailers.
My house sustained damage by the CAT 4 Hurricane, which tore off portions of the soffits, damaged the roof and screen cage, and ripped apart the screens. We have some indoor ceiling damage.
A lot of yard and tree damage. Huge trees fell, one barely missing my house.
They want a thousand dollars just to cut 4 branches off, before they don't fall off and kill someone or cause more damage.
I also sustained damage to my trailer. The trailer damage is moderate and not enough to total it. The wind blew out a window and put a hole in the side. It got flooded by the force of the wind. The good thing is it didn't flip over like our neighbors and was able to provide hot water and showers for us and our neighbors while the power was off for almost two weeks. The trailer has a large deductible, that I can't afford. $5000.00.
I have never asked for money before in my life. However, I just cannot afford this. It has really put me in a bind. I do not sleep at night, trying to figure out how to manage. We have over $10,000 in damages to just the house and so far FEMA has generously provided $300. Turning us down for housing assistance because my house is still livable. Leaving me with around $9700 to come up with. This might not sound like a lot but to someone living on Social Security and raising a child, it is a lot.
I need some help.
Please, donate if you can, any amount would be appreciated, and I would be perpetually grateful. If you cannot donate monetarily please share this.
Money will go for all housing repairs and damages mentioned above caused by Ian.
Thank you for reading this and considering donating.
Sincerely;
Weylin Carton

$2 equals one American chestnut tree | $86 raised of $125 goal • 5 donors | raised of $125 goal | 5 donations | Lightning Flash is organizing this fundraiser. |
Hello there I have started this GoFundMe to fulfill my goals of covering the round top on our homestead with American chestnut trees. In doing this I plan to get American chestnut trees with the most resistance as possible. The seller I have in mind will sell chestnuts to me for $2 per nut. These are pure blooded American chestnuts with a decent amount of blight tolerance or resistance whatever you would like to call it. I plan to breed these with The offspring of the 30+ year old mature American chestnut trees we found. With the $100 goal I have set that will get 50 nuts that will become trees. I have included $25 for shipping just in case if it's under that I will buy more nuts.

PVPLC maintains 1600 acres of open space with an emphasis on restoring land with native vegetation that they propagate themselves in their nursery. These tables are essential for protecting their fledgling native plants from water-borne pathogens.
If an infected plant is transplanted in the wild, the PVPLC will have to go through enormous remediation efforts, such as uprooting everything within a large radius of the plant, removing all the soil surrounding the plant, and heat treating the ground using a large machine to kill the pathogen.
I plan to complete my fundraising in December so I can complete my project in the first half of January.
Any amount will be helpful. I thank you in advance for your support.

Okpala Uku J.U. Dike Flood Relief for Onuaboh | $240 raised of $10,000 goal • 4 donors | raised of $10,000 goal | 4 donations | Kingsley Dike is organizing this fundraiser. |
My town Onuaboh in Ndokwa East Local Government Area of Delta State, Nigeria, was affected by recent flooding in that part of the world. The whole community was devastated,, and the majority of its citizens displaced. My father, Chief Joseph Uzor Dike, the current Okpala Uku of Onuaboh home, was affected. The floods ravaged his home and palace. We, his children, were trying to restore his home and palace. He said he did not want that; instead, he wants to support the victims, ordinary farmers, and displaced families, including women and children.
Please, we want help and your support for the Okpala Uku Joseph Uzor Dike Flood Relief for victims in his Onuaboh community. We are looking for $10,000.00 to get cassava stems, improved yam seedlings and food items for the flood victims in Onuaboh town.

Dangerous sinkhole on property | $95 raised of $50,000 goal • 4 donors | raised of $50,000 goal | 4 donations | Caitlin Rycek is organizing this fundraiser. |
A previously covered old well created a sinkhole in the Conklin's yard. No information about the buried well was disclosed when they purchased the home. The collapse is located directly below the back door and poses a huge danger to the family. Rebecca and Ryan Conklin have a young son and two very active dogs. This hole needs to be fixed as soon as possible as it could continue to collapse and become wider. However, their homeowner's insurance will not cover any of the costs, and all other options thru the borough and county have been exhausted. The estimate the family was given to fill in the old well safely is 50k, which must be paid entirely out-of-pocket.
Please consider helping the Conklin's by donating or sharing!

Help stop the spread of drinks being spiked | $125 raised of $500 goal • 4 donors | raised of $500 goal | 4 donations | Emely Acosta is organizing this fundraiser. | Hola les agradecería mucho que donaran dinero para detener la propagación de bebidas en los clubes/bares. Una bebida que ha sido enriquecida es cuando alguien agrega algo a la bebida de otra persona sin que ellos lo sepan o sin su permiso. Algunas formas de aumentar una bebida son agregar alcohol a una bebida no alcohólica, agregar alcohol extra a una bebida alcohólica o agregar cualquier tipo de droga a las bebidas alcohólicas y no alcohólicas. La mayor víctima de este problema son las mujeres. La mayoría de las mujeres que terminan siendo pinchadas experimentan una agresión sexual. Nuestro objetivo es detener la propagación de bebidas en bares y discotecas. Queremos recaudar dinero para comprar algunas fundas para bebidas que se usan para proteger su copa de pinchazos y planeamos donarlas a los 3 mejores clubes conocidos en Anaheim. Probablemente no hará una gran diferencia porque hay muchos clubes, pero al menos todavía los estamos ayudando.
Hi guys i would really appreciate it if you donate any money to stop the spread of drinks being spiked at clubs/bars. A drink that has been spiked is where someone adds something to somebody else's drink without them knowing or without their permission. Some ways to spike a drink is by adding alcohol into a non-alcoholic drink, adding extra alcohol to an alcoholic drink or slipping any type of drugs into both non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks. The biggest victim to this problem is women. Most women who end up getting spiked experience sexual assult. Our goal is to stop the spread of drinks being spiked at bars and clubs. We want to raise money to buy some drink covers that are used to protect your cup from spiking and plan on donating them to the top 3 known clubs in Anaheim. It probably won't make a huge difference because there are many clubs but at least we are still helping them out.

Make My Little House a Home | $455 raised of $1,000 goal • 4 donors | raised of $1,000 goal | 4 donations | Lauren Reneé Garcia is organizing this fundraiser. |
I got the key to this cute little house in Lockhart a few days ago. Although, I have not been able to settle in just yet, because I still need a bed for the house. Unfortunately, I spent much of my savings transitioning into this house. I am asking my family and friends for donations towards furnishing my home. Any donations are greatly appreciated, whether through this platform or if you would like to direct message me. Your support will also alleviate some of the stress of groceries to stock my fridge and gas spent traveling back and forth from Austin to teach my students. Some things I'm searching for: A queen/king-sized bed, blankets, a washer and dryer, a futon or sofa-bed, curtains for the shower and windows, window blinds, clothes hangers, a drinking water dispenser, throw rugs, large doggy beds, dishware. If there is anything you may have, perhaps we can arrange a meet-up. Thank you kindly for any help you are willing to offer toward this endeavor. Much love and many blessings!

Intercambio Sostenible en Suecia | $75 raised of $10,000 goal • 4 donors | raised of $10,000 goal | 4 donations | Daniela Di Tada is organizing this fundraiser. |
Hola, mi nombre es Lucas. Estoy cursando 3er año de Ingeniería Química con enfoque en Ingeniería Ambiental en la Universidad de Mayagüez. Hace un año tuve la iniciativa de proponerme conseguir un intercambio a Suecia, país en el cual, visitando hace años a mis tíos, descubrí mi vocación por la consciencia del medioambiente. Específicamente a lo que iría el año que viene, es para aprender e investigar cómo generar energía renovable en un programa titulado: Conversión Termoquímica de Biomasa. Además, tengo como meta integrarme a la cultura nórdica para así poder extraer directamente la información que busco.
Ya me puse en contacto con Universidades y profesionales allá, así como también lo hizo la Universidad de Mayagüez a través de ISEP, que está gestionando para poder realizar mi sueño. Es por eso que me dispuse a hacer esta campaña, para que con su aporte, puedan ayudarme a costear los gastos
Gracias por escuchar!

Tarrytown Memorial for Queen | $110 raised of $367 goal • 4 donors | raised of $367 goal | 4 donations | Mark Nattier is organizing this fundraiser. |
Hi, my name is Mark Nattier and I'm fundraising for a plaque and tree to be planted in Tarrytown as part of a memorial for the Queen's Green Canopy.
Initially, the idea to participate started this past June during her Platinum Jubilee. Part of the celebrations included a massive tree sculpture in front of Buckingham Palace with multiple types of smaller trees on each of its branches to point to the larger project called the Queen's Green Canopy. The goal is to plant as many trees as possible to honor her but also to respond to climate change. Now that she has passed it is a way to honor her, the gardening she participated in, and the environment. An American connection was showcased on the BBC show Gardener's World Episode 28 around the 34 minute mark.
If this sounds odd given the history in Tarrytown with the revolutionary war, there is a tie to King Charles when he visited as Prince of Wales in January 2007 to Blue Hill Stone Barns. There was an alignment between the institution and the approach he was taking for the renovation of Dumfries House in Scotland for farm-to-table and training staff in high-quality of service to help regenerate the formerly coal-focused Scottish Ayrshire community.
The Village of Tarrytown's Tree Commission Tree Fund is planting a native white oak tree for $64. The plaque from the Queen's Green Canopy website comes from the Welsh Slate Workshop for $303.
Please consider contributing and planting a tree yourself in your own yard if you have space https://queensgreencanopy.org/
Thank you.

Green Thumbs Project | $40 raised of $450 goal • 4 donors | raised of $450 goal | 4 donations | Loly Nguyen is organizing this fundraiser. |
Hi, we are sophomores students from IWA looking to fundraise money to build a garden for a middle school. We would really appreciate your generous donations for needed gardening materials. Every penny counts :)
(Any Extra donations will go to the middle school (Our Lady of Fatima))
Imagine you are driving by a school, a small school. Their field area is barren; the kids run on a spread of dead grass. The only thing you can think of is how they don’t see the beauty of our Earth. The flowers of the bees are non-existent and being outside has lost its significance. Every day a new tree in the neighborhood is cut down or a soda can is found in a ditch. How could they learn to appreciate nature that they don’t realize is drifting away? If they had even the smallest thing, such as a garden. To be able to have your own garden, the time and effort to keep it alive would all be worth it. Our future will be in good hands with kids that learn the care for God’s creation through gardening with Green Thumbs.

Heritage Tree Care | $240 raised of $6,000 goal • 4 donors | raised of $6,000 goal | 4 donations | Jeff Cole is organizing this fundraiser. |
Of the four or so million trees in Portland, only about 400 are protected Heritage trees and one is in the far corner of our backyard. Heritage trees are chosen as having a unique value to the community at large and, by law, cannot be pruned or altered without a special permit.
But if a tree is on private property, there is no public money available for its care despite being recognized for its public value.
And because they are large - ours is 85 feet high and measures 23 feet around the trunk - it is expensive to care for them. Only certified arborists can perform the work - and they must climb into the tree using specialized equipment.
The tree is still growing - it even popped off its nameplate - and while it shades and cools neighbors’ yards, the ever-extending branches now touch their roofs. The long branches must also be thinned to prevent failure due to heavy leaf growth. Dead or conflicting branches are removed to prevent them from falling and damaging other parts of the tree.
Our tree now needs care to keep it healthy, so we are asking our friends, neighbors, and community to give us a hand. We appreciate your support!

Help transmasc move out and be in a safe place | $50 raised of $10,000 goal • 4 donors | raised of $10,000 goal | 4 donations | Cameron Nuñez-Del Cuadro is organizing this fundraiser. |
Hello! My name is Cameron and I'm an hard of hearing Hispanic transmasc struggling with financial stability and needing to move out potentially sooner. My mom is getting even more suspicious, putting me in a really risky spot if my dad finds out about me being on T. If he does, that either means I'll probably get restrained, taken or kicked out, due to past experiences of me being forced to come out. This is why I've shared on TikTok, Twitter and Instagram and reached out for help - which so many did and I'm so internally grateful for that.
TikTok Video
I'm also a video editor that works from home. My financial stability was good for about a year until a few months ago, so I've been struggling in that aspect. Sharing this or even finding potential clients helps so much reach my goal! I work with content creators and create TikTok videos and other things, too! I have 10+ years of experience in the field.
My Links - my information for commissioning me is also in this link!
I currently have options of going to a safe place but currently I'm focused on bumping up my savings! I have 2k now saved and am currently trying to get a car since my brother crashed it. My dad is unwilling to help and my mom is just postponing for the longest. I'm planning to get a truck first and moving out as soon as I can. The GoFundMe funds will be used to move out with and extra for emergency expenses! At least 6k for moving out funds, and the rest for medical bills, visits, emergencies and car payments in case! Thank you for reading and I'll be doing my best to be safe.
