Help Larry Shell Save His Home & Repair it!

Donation protected
Hello!
I am Larry Shell, and I have had a rough time over the past few years. I had hoped to work to fix some of my problems in 2022 but this has proven to be an extremely hard year for my brother and I, medically and financially.

--------------------

For those who do not know me, I have been in and around comic books since the 1970s. I was a publisher and editor of several titles, wrote a story for Heavy Metal magazine, published some trading card sets and was the Director of Publications for Heroes World Distribution for ten years, including the last two years as part of Marvel Comics Marketing department. I have also worked as a publishing consultant and a rep for a number of artists and collectors for original art sales until my health problems made it difficult to continue.

I am a big fan of comics and now need a hero.

--------------------

We’ve had great difficulty living on our Social Security checks and some weeks do not have enough to buy groceries. We are periodically harassed by the town we live in due to the condition of our house, which I was recently ordered to appear in court about and fined for multiple violations. In addition, Hurricane Ida flooded our basement, causing the need to replace several expensive appliances, including the water heater.

--------------------

I badly need to raise funds to pay my overdue property taxes before our house is put up for tax sale by the town that I reside in. I have received notification of this from the tax office.

I also have to do at least a small amount of the home repairs needed to keep the township placated and off my back.

To do so, I have started this Go Fund Me campaign.

--------------------

We need to pay the amount due for the property taxes in full by November 11 or I and my brother, who lives with me, may not have a place to live. We are both disabled seniors, I have diabetes, glaucoma, migraines, and have had two spinal surgeries in the past ten years, and my brother suffers from rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes and other ailments.

--------------------

If you know my brother or me or just want to help someone hang on to their house… please donate what you can and share this fundraiser to your Facebook page, Twitter, Bulletin Board or any other social media you participate in.

--------------------

Thank you, and God bless!

Please note -- If you would prefer to send a donation directly via Zelle or PayPal, contact me through Go Fund Me's messenger. Contact me the same way if you would prefer to mail a check instead.
