Donate to Support Derek's ICU Recovery Journey, organized by Jaimie Dewsnup

We are raising money for my amazing brother Derek, who is currenting in the ICU about to have his 64th surgery. His shunt (therefore brain) was exposed and he is at an extreme risk of infection. He has to remain in the ICU for at LEAST a month. Since Derek's case is so severe they can't put the shunt back in for a few weeks. Derek is a doting husband and father of 3, soon to be 4. He makes the best BBQ around, and always makes sure no one leaves a gathering hungry. He always has a "Dad Joke" ready to go. But mostly, Derek is one of those guys who will give you the shirt off their back. He puts everyone's needs above his. If you asked anyone to describe Derek in one word it would be Selfless. When he was 10 weeks old he was in a horrific car crash and was ejected from the vehicle. Shattering his skull and setting the stage for the rest of his life. Derek's life has been one of pain, surgeries, and hospital stays. He never let that get in his way or stop him from doing what he loves. I've never heard him complain. He has endured horrific hardships, but I know this one is one of the toughest. He values hard work and we know its killing him that he can't work to provide for his family right now. Your support will help cover the immense medical bills, as well as help Derek and his family get by the next few months while he recovers. Please keep Derek in your prayers and share this with others. ................................................................ Update 07-23 Thank you for your prayers. The doctors were able to successfully remove Derek's shunt. They were not able to put in a new one yet, but made do with some external tubing. He is not out of the woods yet but the doctors are very positive. Please continue to pray that he remains infection free. ................................................................................ Update 7/26 The surgeons are going to try to put the shunt back in soon. Derek was excited that he was able to take a short walk outside today. Everyone's prayers have been felt and are being answered. Please continue to pray and share. Read more

Why GoFundMe Articles and URLs Appear on Our Website and How We Support Other GoFundMe Campaigns

At LFEBridge Foundation, we are dedicated to creating a platform where individuals and organizations can maximize their fundraising efforts. As part of our commitment to supporting a wide range of causes, we incorporate articles and URLs from GoFundMe into our website. Here’s why you might see GoFundMe content on our site, how it benefits the fundraising community, and our relationship with GoFundMe:

1. Amplifying Reach for Fundraising Campaigns

Increased Visibility: By featuring GoFundMe articles and URLs on our platform, we help increase the visibility of various fundraising campaigns. This additional exposure can attract more donors and supporters, helping campaigns achieve their goals more quickly.
Cross-Promotional Opportunities: Highlighting campaigns from GoFundMe allows us to support a broader spectrum of causes and connect with a wider audience. This cross-promotion benefits both the campaign organizers and potential donors looking for causes to support.

2. Supporting Campaign Growth

Advertising and Promotion: We understand the importance of visibility in successful fundraising. By showcasing GoFundMe campaigns, we provide an advertising platform that helps these campaigns reach potential donors who might not have discovered them otherwise.
Strategic Partnerships: Collaborating with GoFundMe and featuring their campaigns on our site strengthens the fundraising ecosystem, ensuring that worthwhile causes receive the attention and support they deserve.

3. Expanding Donor Networks

Broader Donor Base: Featuring a variety of campaigns from different platforms helps diversify and expand the donor base. This means more people can learn about and contribute to a variety of causes, ultimately driving higher engagement and donations.
Enhanced Outreach: By integrating GoFundMe content, we help campaigns tap into new networks and communities, broadening their reach and potential impact.

How We Help Other GoFundMe Campaigns Grow
