This fund is focused on helping Chinese charities working directly in the affected region to help care workers at the front lines of the Coronavirus Outbreak in the Wuhan area.

We will add more as we vet them

We all read about the Australia fires that have been so damaging. Estimates are saying that a billion animals have perished, some species may be extinct even. A lot of rescue organizations are working with people and animals to give them the best care. They need all the help that we can muster. Some of the pictures of animals suffering due to the fires have left me speechless and quite numb. Any contribution is significant, please help. Thanks in advance.

Chronic Lyme disease is UNBELIEVABLE! If you haven't experienced it yourself or had/have a loved one who has it, you wouldn't believe it because it doesn't exist! Lyme disease is an infection that is transmitted through the bite of a tick infected with a bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi. Lyme disease has so many faces that it is hard to be recognized by experienced doctors. Here are some of the most common manifestations of Lyme: erythema migrant, arthritis, carditis, meningitis/encephalitis. In addition to the above, there are numerous non-specific symptoms, such as: rashes, fatigue, pain, stiffness, or swollen joints, headaches, dizziness, fever, night sweats and sleep disturbance, cognitive decline, sensitivity to light, vision changes, and many other neurological problems. Lyme disease has been called the new great imitator. It is really confusing because there are atypical presentations. Lyme can be difficult to diagnose. Tests are not always reliable. When you are being treated, one cannot be assured that the infection agent is invariably eradicated with the bacteriologic cure. Some people relapse following recommended treatment regiments. The agent of Lyme is highly complex and has many tactics to evade destruction by an antimicrobial agent and the immune system. ….here is a real life lyme story.... "I was bitten by an earwig in the spring of last year. In 40 days after the event (the period required by the immune system to respond) my results were false negative. In December 2018, for totally unrelated reasons, I made a second test that turned out positive for Borrelia grainy and Borrelia afzelin. Both manifest as arthritis and neurological symptoms. A friend of mine asked me once: He: “Have you ever watched D-r House?” I said: “Yep, some of the episodes”. He said: “Watch it! There are so many episodes in which during the diagnosis conversations the doctors come to suspect Lyme as the underlying cause of so many and different symptoms.” Well, I’m there - patient that faced this diagnosis first person, on my way to get treatment and fight back. With your help and engagement, I hope to get better! What I offer in return is my time and dedication to create greater awareness, understanding, and (hopefully) prevention of Lyme disease. " Your help in fighting back Lyme is needed! Thank you!

Australia needs our help. This fund includes a range of responsible charities - from first responders support, evacuation centers and recovery hubs, to helping affected animals.

The fires devastating Australia are heartbreaking. This fund includes charities that are fighting the fires, helping animals affected by the fires, and acting as first responders.

The brush fires continue to spread wildly in Australia. At least 24 people have so far been killed - including three volunteer firefighters - and more than 6.3 million hectares (63,000 sq km or 15.6 million acres) of bush, forest and parks have been burned. An estimated half billion animals have died, including an estimated third of the Koala population. And homes have been lost, leaving people without shelter or belongings.

You know that paradox about the unstoppable force and the immovable object? Well, my 8-year-old cousin Amelia is that unstoppable force. Just over a year ago, she met an immovable object in the form of an arteriovenous malformation, resulting in a brain-bleed and a stroke. Most people don't necessarily take well to these kinds of events, and most seven-year-olds don't encounter these events. But most people, I guess, are not an unstoppable force. Her whole family was living day-by-day right beside her, where today was always a gift but tomorrow never a promise. No matter how unstoppable Amelia was (and is!), she could not move this object on her own. And that's where Boston Children's comes in. They kept her stable; they kept her family stable; and they, along with Amelia and her family fighting around her, kept her alive, kept us all living. Amelia still keeps us living. How does anybody repay this? I'm running all 26.22 miles of the Boston Marathon because my time, energy, and money are the least I can give in order to say Thank You. If you have a moment, please trust that Boston Children's Hospital will turn your spare change into a family's hope and a child's future. They certainly did that for Amelia.

I am joining The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation (pronounced "Be Positive) to fight childhood cancer because 46 kids are told they have cancer every school day. Through NOVAdance, Villanova students help fundraise, spread awareness, and making lasting positive memories with children and families battling pediatric cancer (B+ Heroes) . Our moto is "Everything we do, we do for our B+ Heroes". At NOVAdance we host events throughout the year that promote awareness of pediatric cancer as well as fundraise for The B+ Foundation. The B+ Foundation provides financial assistance to families struggling with the affects of pediatric cancer as well as funds cutting edge research for new, more effective and less invasive treatments. Additionally, The B+ Foundation pairs children and families battling pediatric cancer with students at universities (such as Villanova and NOVAdance) At NOVAdance, we are fortunate enough to be paired with 13 Heroes who light up our worlds. These children embody what it means to "Be Positive" in the face of great adversity, and it is our great honor and pleasure to make lasting positive memories with them and give them back the childhood cancer has tried to steal away. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the landscape of pediatric cancer, both today and tomorrow. $0.97 of every dollar goes towards funding research or helping families in distress because of pediatric cancer, and your donation will help families today! Thank you for your consideration and remember to spread positivity today! https://www.beposfdn.org/bpos_partpage.aspx?eventtag=NOVAdance20&teamid=2553&partid=67664
