Help Fred Pleasure Rebuild His Life

Donation protected
My name is Fred Pleasure and in the summer of 2000, my wife, Suzanne, and I started a small business called Fred Pleasure Sings. She was the IT department and I was the performer. The goal was to provide live singing entertainment for the residents at nursing homes of popular music from the 30s and 40s. The songs that they would remember, sing along with, and maybe even get up and dance.

My wife of 26 years had a monstrous battle with liver failure on the 16th of May. During my grieving and trying to get my head on right, I started staying with a good friend. While staying there, my car with all of my professional equipment was stolen. Thankfully, the car was recovered but all the laptops, over 43,000 song tracks, microphones, speakers, and all the cables were gone.

Recover my life both personally and professionally by helping me purchase replacement laptops and sound systems at approximately $17,000. I will also need to reacquire my song library. I estimate I can download a thousand songs a month and return to singing in 3 months and with more time be at full strength in another 6 months.

Your generosity will help me in working towards returning to my profession and earning sufficient funds to continue to live. It will also keep me busy helping to ease the pain of grief. People say you shouldn't marry someone you can live with, rather marry someone that you cannot live without. Suzanne was indeed the one I could not live without. Thank you for your consideration. I will remain forever grateful.
