GO-FUND-ME for MARTY COFIELD

(musician-singer-songwriter)

Thank you for taking a minute to read this. My name is Scott Shamblin. I am managing this go-fund-me effort to help a gifted singer, songwriter, guitarist friend, Marty Cofield, who is in a dire and dangerous situation during these Christmas holidays. He needs help to get his pickup running before he gets run over trying to ride his bicycle to work in a rural area.

Marty works hard every day as Maintenance Man at a nursing home which is about 10-miles away from his residence. The transmission in his early 2000s model F150 stopped working a couple weeks ago and requires a rebuild.

Since this breakdown, he rides his bicycle each way to work along dark narrow winding roads. He just needs a helping hand to get his trans going so he can work more and get his head above water.

I'm so afraid that a car might hit him while riding his bicycle. They are narrow curvy backroads and he is often riding in the dark most days. I wouldn't ride a bike on these roads in the daytime, but no matter what, he pushes forward, maintaining his goals of songwriting and performing for packed venues. He is an incredibly good front man having a golden voice.

I am very proud to play keys for Marty's latest band, LMBB (Last Minute Blues Band). Marty has brought the house down every time we play with him. Meanwhile, please say a prayer that Marty's guardian angel protects him on his way to and from work every day. Let's help Marty to help himself. Give anything you can to reach this goal of $2500. Thank you so very much.
